INVESTOR ALERT: Girard Gibbs Investigates Potential Securities Law ViolationsGirard Gibbs LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC) and purchasers of LendingClub's Member Payment Dependent Notes involving possible securities law violations.

On April 25, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC (News - Alert)") announced that it filed a lawsuit against LendingClub, accusing the company of violating federal laws by luring consumers with the promise that they would receive loans with "no hidden fees," but actually charging them hidden, up-front fees when their loans were funded into their accounts. The complaint also alleges that LendingClub's conduct continued "despite warning from its own compliance department that Defendant's concealment of the up-front fee is 'likely to mislead the consumer.'" On news of the FTC lawsuit, shares of LendingClub fell more than 15% to close at $2.77 per share on April 25, 2018, a record low for the stock, causing significant harm to investors.
