Lendgreen: What Happened
Lendgreen was the lead-named brand in the Lac du Flambeau lending case. Its lending was wound down under a class-action settlement that cancelled outstanding balances.
What happened to Lendgreen
Lendgreen was operated by Niiwin, LLC under LDF Holdings, an arm of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians in Wisconsin, and became the most prominent of the LDF lending brands. It sat at the center of a federal 'rent-a-tribe' usury class action that resolved into the broader LDF Lending Companies settlement — roughly $37.4 million in cash plus cancellation of outstanding covered loan balances and deletion of related credit reporting (final approval December 2024, effective January 2025).
Were you a Lendgreen borrower?
If you held a covered loan, the settlement cancelled qualifying balances and addressed related credit reporting — check the settlement administrator's notice rather than any collector's demand. With the original operation wound down, compare active tribal installment lenders with verifiable charters before borrowing again.
