Red Rock Tribal Lending: What Happened

Red Rock Tribal Lending is now Big Picture Loans — the same Lac Vieux Desert tribal lending operation, rebranded (it also ran the Castle Payday brand).

Red Rock is now Big Picture Loans

Red Rock Tribal Lending, LLC was the original brand in the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians' lending program in Michigan. It operated the Castle Payday brand and was later renamed Big Picture Loans, LLC, a subsidiary of Tribal Economic Development Holdings. The lineage Red Rock Tribal Lending → Castle Payday → Big Picture Loans is documented in court records and on Big Picture's own site.

What to know before borrowing

Big Picture Loans agreed to a $65 million class-action settlement (Galloway v. Big Picture Loans) over interest rates alleged to violate state and federal law, without admitting wrongdoing; plaintiffs also alleged a 'rent-a-tribe' structure involving Matt Martorello and Bellicose Capital — allegations litigated in Williams v. Big Picture. If you were looking for Red Rock or Castle Payday, read our independent Big Picture Loans review for current terms.
