Fast Cash


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

I had looked up payday loans online and never got one because you have to have direct deposit. Well, a man with a strong Indian accent from New York City calls my job and keeps leaving me messages on my cell that I'm going to jail for not returning the money. What money?

I never got a loan. They are threatening to send me to prison.

My best friend received a call from a Ben from Fast Cash investigation dept. I called this number back, not knowing what it was about. I called cool and collected, then the guy told me that I was being investigated for fraud for a payday loan. I was like, what payday loan? I don't have one. He said, "oh my God! You don't remember?". I said, "No, I have only had one payday loan and it's been paid." I said, "Can you please send me proof of this?" He said he was not allowed to send me anything and asked me if I had a fax or could I email him promptly. I said no, I don't live in town. He said, "You call me back tomorrow morning and if I don't hear from you, we will contact the attorney general." This is fraud, you must pay! I'm not after doing this search. I know I don't owe this place the money. I'm calling my attorney! It's a scam! Beware everyone!

I only inquired about loan around 03/04/12 when they told me about the finance fee. I told them never mind and I never signed any documents online. Then I found a deposit for $500 in my Wells Fargo account on 03/05/12. I tried contacting FastCash.com but you get directed to a GoDaddy.com website. There is no direct number or website to contact Fast Cash directly. They started taking $171.43 from my checking account and I cannot contact anyone at Fast Cash to resolve this matter.

I have been trying to contact someone in the compliance department to discuss the balance of my loan. They have been taking out of my checking account for months and the loan is paid off! They charge you fees and do not tell you up front about them! They tell you there is no one to talk to about your money and the only way is to email or fax. Well, the email says it's non-existent for the compliance department and I don't have a fax! This company needs to go out of business. It's a rip off!

I got a call from a man who called himself Captain William ** saying that I recently got a payday loan which I did not because I don't work. He had all my information including my SSN. He stated that I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay them. When I said that I don't owe them anything, he started screaming, telling me that my whole family is going to jail. I don't know who these people are. I have no bank account or anything. What can I do? I am scared. I even called the police.

I did not want the loan and they keep taking out of my checking.

I have been receiving these phone calls from this Indian speaking man saying I owe $300 for a loan that I took out in Dec 2011 which I have not took any loans out from Fast Cash since 2008. I have paid this loan off and receive a paid in full letter from Fast Cash saying it have been paid. Now, here comes the calls in 2012. One day he says it was for $300 back in Dec2011 and the next day he tells me $450 for the month of Nov. 2011. Okay, which one is it? Then the Indian speaking man asked me to send all of my credit card information to him through fax. Really.

They illegally put money into my account. I paid the $300 back and they continue to harass me at work. I tried to contact them, but no one contacts me back.

I applied for a $200.00 loan in April 2011. When reviewing the status of my loan, there are two loans listed. One loan has the status as being paid, and the second loan indicates it is a new loan. In September 2011, I inquired on the website, as to the date this new loan was requested, and did not receive an answer. In October 2011, I checked the website, and the balance was $179.00. I contacted the business using the phone number supplied, and after holding for 10 minutes, the call was disconnected, and I submitted another customer ticket, requesting information. Today, December 7, 2011, I checked the website, and the balance is $358.00. $79.00 has been withdrawn from my checking account bi-weekly since April 2011, and no one will respond to my request.

I have had a man calling me for a few months now. I am like many of you my credit are not great! I have searched online for payday loans and personal loans. I did get a loan from fast cash which is who I have now. The fees are just plain dumb. In any case it helped for the time being. I am still paying on it and I pay my fees every pay check. I intend to call them tomorrow. I have a man with an Indian accent who I can't understand a word he says, calling me. I told him to put someone on the phone that I could understand what I was being charged with. He continued threaten me with court fees, fraud, etc some stuff all of you have experienced. In any case I told him I was calling my attorney and that he needed to stop calling me. He did for about a month.

I recently was searching again online for loans and again he started calling again. I hate this online stuff. So needless to say my 2 references were called today and so was my boss. Embarrassing he has been calling me daily and my work. Luckily for me my boss hates calls like this and will tell him flat out, yet he thinks it's ok to share my business with them. Today I am done with these people I am not going to stop until someone gets them. I am not going to live my life in fear because of someone else's pleasure in scamming people like me. If Mr. ** calls you he is a liar and a scammer ** His number is listed out of Mattituck, NY but no business is associated. We need help here people how do we stop these people who are preying on us, we have no money and they are taking what we have. I am planning on contacting the FBI, fast cash, and the Attorney Generals Office, if any of you have any other suggestions please let me know I refuse to continue stressing over this man. Thanks for your input.

U S Fast Cash is harassing my place of employment. They are consistently harassing me on my job. They called seven times a day.

I took out an advance loan with Fast Cash years ago. Unfortunately, I became unemployed and advised them of this. I then received several phone calls to my ex-employer's, home, and cell number with nothing but threats and ignorance. It got to the point when they will call my ex-employer and tell my co-workers my personal business in reference to the loans. They will leave messages and threats with my children and then leave me harassing, disrespectful and unnecessary message. At that point, I changed my numbers and told them to only contact me via mail. I did at one point try to make arrangements and was told pretty much all or nothing upon telling them I was unable to do that. I continued to get the calls. Now, they are trying to take me to court for almost four times the amount of my actual loan and charges.

There was a male that told me that he was with a financial department and was trying to collect 989.00 from us fast cash. I have never received any money from this company. I don't even have a bank account. I have a Walmart card and payday advances don't get added to a Walmart card. I looked at my account and there wasn't any money added to my card. I also did a reverse phone number search and it was a cell phone number from Bronx, New York. The guy told me his name was Stephen ** and that the police were coming to my house to arrest me. I told him to take my number off his call list and leave me alone.

Fast Cash continuously calls me at my place of employment; yelling at me and releasing personal information to my co-workers. I have told them numerous times that I am no longer willing to make payment based on harassment, and that they can file a suit in court. Can anyone help me in ensuring the harassing calls discontinue? I am not willing to pay this debt. In the event that they continue to call, I will do whatever I can to ensure that they are reprimanded for harassing phone calls and release of information to my place of employment (co-workers).

I received a phone call at work from a man with a thick Indian accent, who told me he was from the criminal investigation unit of the Baltimore City Police Department and that I had not been making my payments to USA Fast Cash. I know for a fact that I've been making my payments because they just deducted $150 this past Friday. The man told me that if I did not pay them today, they would come and arrest me, sue me or show up at my job and talk to my boss about it. I told the man that he was harassing me and he started screaming at me. I told him to go right ahead and do what he have to do. I knew I was already taking care of my debt and I wasn't ** enough to give him my account information. I've already contacted Experian to have a fraud alert placed on my credit report and filed a complaint with the FBI cyber crimes unit (which by the way, they already have a posting on their site about "payday cash advance loans fraud" which details pretty much the same experience everyone on this site has had). Do not fall for it. This is a scam that the FBI is already aware.

I have been receiving phone calls from an Indian man saying that I owe Fast Cash some money. I don't remember doing this loan. But the problem is that they are calling to scare me, saying that my payment will be garnish, I will go to jail or they will issue a levy. I don't know what to do right now. I want them to stop calling me.

An officer Chavez called saying I would b in jail in 48 hrs if I do not respond to the company complaint. They said they deposit money into my account which I never received and they want me to pay $315 every month.

These people are calling me saying they are going to arrest me if I don't pay my debt which, as they say, is FastCash payday loan. They know everything about me and I don't have a loan with Fast Cash. I told them that, plus I don't even have a job. All I have is a phone number!

An individual, Mr. **, called my job and stated that a warrant was issued for my arrest and that the authorities would be coming at my job to arrest me. I informed him that I do not know what he was referring to since I had no documentation of any check fraud allegations against me. The person then called my job back and spoke to supervisors in the office instead of calling me directly and informed them that I would be arrested for check fraud. Therefore, I am pursuing legal matters as I have not been to trial and this was a violation of my right to be innocent until proven guilty. Also, I have an e-mail from one of the contacts who verified that the case worker did do this.

I took one of these loans, paid it back in full and then the company started taking even more money out of my bank account. My bank considered it fraud and refunded the money because they had no right to it. Now, it is three years later and they are harassing me by phone claiming they are going to garnish my bank account for thousands of dollars, threatening to arrest me. Today, they called and told my wife they needed to serve me with a summons for a lawsuit and were coming to repose our truck. They did not leave a name or number to call back. When they call, they curse and yell at me that I need to pay the bill. But the bill was already paid, as they are a big scam. I am ready to call the police because they are threatening and know where I live.

I got a threatening phone call stating that I owed this company $350 and that if I did not pay today they would send an officer to my home to arrest me. I asked what was the name of the company because when I take a loan online I write down all of the info and this is not a company that I have ever used. I told him that I would see them in court and he said if you f** want it that way. I said yes. He hung up.

I received a phone call at work on my cell phone from this company asking me to pay the full payday balance of $462.00. I told Jeff **, the supervisor, that at this time, I can only pay $50.00. So they refused to negotiate with me and Jeff ** transferred me to manager John **. John ** did try to reduce the full payment, but became upset when I told him I can only pay $50.00 a month. So, John ** started cursing at me on the phone saying, "You **, and you are going to get fired from your job today." John ** called my job main line, asking to speak to me several times, cursing at me on the phone. John ** even cursed at the school secretary saying the same thing,"You **, " because she would not transfer the call unless it was school-related matter.

I find this to be a mental and physical stress on me to perform well on my job for my students. Also, this was very embarrassing to me as a professional teacher to have my personal business affect a co-worker and myself.

I borrowed $400.00 from these people because I was desperate for money at that time to pay for rent. I borrowed the money in September 2010. They took four $120.00 out of my account, not towards my loans but a service fee. Talk about ** ripoff! After that, they took $80.00 plus $50.00 to go towards the loan. I asked her why we did not get a phone call to let me know. Her statement, "We are an internet-based company. We have thousands and thousands of customers". Now I know why they ripped off the American people. Whatever you do, try to borrow money somewhere else. Don't ever borrow from these ** people. I hate them with every bones in my body.

I received a call back in September or October of 2010 saying that I need to pay for a loan with Fastcash USA. The person spoke in a strong Indian accent and was demanding money. I asked for when was the loan taken out, how much, and asked for documents. He couldn't give me any information except Fastcash USA. He asked me how I was going to pay for this and I said not until I receive the paperwork and I hung up.

Then, on 10 Nov 10, I received a threatening call at work from another person speaking the same language. This time, he said that there are charges against me for fraud, theft and breach of contact. The police will be called to arrest me if I didn't pay the $312.00. They scared me so bad that I agreed. They asked how I would pay: through Western Union or credit card. I said credit card and they took the money. They emailed me a document saying that the loan was paid in full as noted by Rickey ** (email address: **).

Now, 21 Jan 11, I again received a call at work from the same speaking person with the same threats as above saying that I owe them $8,568.00. I need to pay $896.00 or the police would be called. I would sit in jail for six to seven days and lose my job. I told them that I didn't have the money and could only pay $300.00. He said no and that the minimum payment of $320.00 would be accepted. Each time, he had to ask his supervisor if it was okay. Not once in the beginning of our phone conversation did he say how or what kind of payment was I allowed to make--Western Union, etc. He asked how soon the payment could be made.

Please keep in mind that I'm sick to my stomach at this time and could hardly think so I left work! I deposited the money and called him back at 646-657-3057 to let him know that the funds are there. He said okay and hung up. I had a very bad feeling about this so I contacted an attorney who referred me to the Dept. of Financial Institutions of WI. I spoke with Tony who told me that this was a scam and has been going on since 2008. I was in tears. He said that he would send me a form to fill out.

When I left work that day (21 Jan 11), I went to my bank to explain my situation and I contacted my credit card company. They cancelled my card but told me that they could do nothing for me. I need to contact my bank once the funds came out and they could go after them. When I got home, I contacted my local police department but they couldn't help me since the call happened at work. I then contacted the district of my work and spoke to them about my problem and told them that it was a scam. I then contacted the FBI and filled out a form on www.ic3.com.

On Saturday, 22 Jan 2011, I checked my bank and the money was not taken out yet. What I forgot to say is I still owe them on 10 Feb 11 for $600.00 to clear this supposed debt. I found out from my credit card that my money, if they would have gotten it, was being transferred to aw-inv-insolutionsltd.com in Great Britian (888- 255-1137) and I have no idea who they are.

On Sunday, 23 Jan 11, I contacted the police district again, where my company is, to tell them what I did about withdrawing my money and how scared I was about the phone call that is yet to come. They said that if I needed them, just call. It's now Monday, 24 Jan 11, no phones calls today but I know that they are coming and I'm very afraid. Can we stop them?

I have been receiving phone calls for months now and someone with a heavy Indian accent has left several messages stating it's a very important legal matter and I need to call him immediately or further charges will be pursued. I have worked in the banking industry and am very wary of off the wall phone calls like this, so I never called back. They started calling my job last week. So I called them back because I don't want to be harassed at work too. When I called, it went to a message system so I left them a message.

Today, 11/24/2010, I got a call back from a man by the name of Shawn claiming he was a lawyer. He had a very heavy Indian accent claiming I took out a loan with Fast Cash International in Aug. 2009 and have never paid it back, and they were going to take me to court and charge me with 3 different charges including check fraud. I couldn't understand them very well so it was hard to make out what he was saying. I tried to have him slow down, speak clearly and he got angry with me, and started yelling at me. I have taken loans out in the past so I couldn't remember doing it. So when I asked him what company it was for, he told me Fast Cash International.

Well, that didn't ring a bell. So I asked him for more info. Instead of giving me the information, he told me I needed to contact my lawyer and he would give it to him. Humm, that doesn't make sense to me considering past debts I've had I've received something pertaining to it and didn't need a lawyer then! So when I questioned him, he proceeded to tell me everything again and that he was trying to work with me or he would prosecute me. I had filed for bankruptcy last year and simply told him whatever he was trying to do was a scam and that I included it in my bankruptcy if it were indeed a real debt.

He threw me off when he told me that my bankruptcy only lasts for a year and I owe this money! Boy is he wrong! After a long and grueling conversation he hung up on me, only to have someone else call me 5 minutes later to give me a case number. I guess it's a scare tactic or something but I'm not buying it by any means. I believe this to be a major scam and if they continue to call me, I will pursue them if I can.

This company threatened me with a case number if I did not pay them $625. I have never received any loan from Fast Cash. They cannot enter my account to withdraw any funds as they originally tried to bill me for some credit card set up. They demand money wired to them. They have heavy Indian accents and will not tell me where they are located or anything about the so-called loan. They say they are with Jack Smith Criminal Investigations and opt to file suit rather than discuss the case if I don't pay immediately.

He told me that I committed fraud and wanted me to pay money. I then told him that I was turning the matter over to the FBI and told him I was going to post his number on the internet and he backed off. Now this is after calling me 10-30 times a day and calling my job as well.

I borrowed $400.00, the man told me I could pay off the loan in 4 payments and the fee would be $125.00. I have paid 3 payments of $120.00. When I called to confirm payment in full, they told me the payments of $120.00 was interest and I owe the $400.00. This is fraud, they lied to me. I am very angry!

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be an attorney and that I am to call him back at **** immediately, so I did. The first few times because I asked what the name of the firm I called was or what his name was, the gentlemen would hung up. He kept hanging up on me when I asked him for his name, to speak slower, which he represented. Also he claimed that California Law states that I am not allowed to ask questions but am required to answer questions he asked. When I asked another question, he just hung up saying the police are coming. Keep in mind that he had a strong foreign accent and spoke extremely fast. After calling back, over and over again, since he said they were going to call the police on me. So I let him talk. When he asked me for a case number, I told him I know nothing about it and he asked if I knew I was being sued. I said no and made me wait while he retrieved my case information.

Mike then said that he is the attorney for Fast Cash International and that I am being sued and prosecuted for theft, fraud, and breach of contract. He asked me a series of questions then asked if I had any questions. So I went ahead and asked when did the transfer occur? What is the amount of the loan? When is the hearing? Why didn't anyone write, call, or email me regarding the debt? What was Mike's employee number or license number? What is the account number with the company? Mike explained that a loan in February 2010 was wired to my account and claiming it was my job to go find the exact date with my bank in that amount of $300-$500. Now, he first told me that I was being sued for $1,048.36 which included fees, penalties, and the original loan amount.

But when I asked him how much the original loan amount was, he said that he didn't know but it was between $300-$500. He was not required to give me an account number to refer to. Mike also explained that he didn't know why I'm claiming no knowledge of attempts from the company but I stole their money and will need to have my lawyer to see them in court on August 20, 2010. He claims that he just got the information on his desk today and gave me lawyer bar number for the state of California. He finally called me crazy when I asked about the company's contact number and said that he was calling the police and that I was going to be arrested this morning, that was 5 hours ago.

In the meantime, I called the California Bar Association and found that the bar number Mike provided belonged to a lawyer of another name with different phone numbers than the ones I had been calling. Also, I called that lawyer's number from the California Bar website and there is no such person ever worked there. I called my bank and there was no such transaction in January-March than those I have knowledge and authorized to. I called the California Bar back who instructed me to call the local police and federal authorities and also to let them know that I am doing it especially since they knew personal information about me. Right now, I am doing just that to stop these crooks.

Someone has been calling me for the past 3 days from an unknown number. I normally do not answer but I decided to answer this time. Some guy with a heavy Indian accent started telling me that I owed US Fast cash $3500 from a loan taken out in 2009. I've never taken out a payday loan ever. I don't know where they got my info from nor do I know how much info that they have. Regardless, I'm not playing games with those crazy people. When I tried to get information from them, they were very vague. The first guy hung up on me when I started asking too many questions. The second guy told me his name was Robert, I mean Steven, he couldn't remember what he told me. They are a joke. How many Indians name their children Steven? Viewing other comments let's me know that I am not the only one that they are harassing. I agree that they need to be stopped. The phone number that they gave me is 646-351-1616.

I have $150.00 loan now it's $410.00. They took out $45.00 a month as agreed; amount to be paid back was $195.00 as agreed, pay started loan in April 2010 5x $45.00 payments and $50.00 more. They tell me I didn't call them to tell how much to take out for payment from my bank account so those 45.00 payments was just to extend the loan and I still owe $135.00. Why is Montel ** endorsing such predators who take money unjustly! I have to close my bank account to stop these predators!

I too was getting these calls regularly and felt threatened. So I called US Fast Cash at their 1-800 number. She immediately asked, "Are you getting calls from people with a strong accent? Please don't give these people money and don't fear. They can't do anything, just harass you." Regarding all of the complaints about an officer so and so calling you, do not give them money. They are a company located in India routing calls through the US. I hope this helps someone.

He called my cell phone and said that I had taken out a loan in 2009 and did not pay it back, so he was going to put out a warrant for my arrest and have me put in jail. How can these people get by with this? The thing that concerns me is that he had my address and SS# or at least the last four digits. These people need to be stopped. I did not give them any information and requested that all my information be removed from their system. But they refused and he also told me to shut my mouth when I told him I was going to report him for fraud. I hung up and told them not to call me again.

I have been scammed. In February, this Indian-accented gentleman called me and told me I owed $1100.00 to a payday loan from a couple years ago. OK, I had a couple, so maybe I didn't write it down or something. He told me if I paid $800.00 that he would clear the balance. So like a sucker, I paid it. He called back a couple weeks later and said they wouldn't accept the deal and I had to pay $237 more. I said, "No, that wasn't the agreement; I'm not going to pay it." He got really agitated and antsy then hung up on me.

So this past Friday, another Indian-accented man called me and said I had until 5:30pm to pay $624 or he was going to press bank fraud, theft by deception, and illegal use of the internet charges on from a payday loan company. I was scared; I've never even had a speeding ticket in my life. So again, I paid it. Then the man from February called me on Tuesday and said I was scammed on Friday to get the money back from the bank and I had to pay him $998 or he was pressing professional scamming charges on me. I didn't pay this time.

I hung up and called the Clermont County Sherriff's Office. They gave me the number for the FBI to investigate. They had sent me a form saying paid in full with the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland stamp on it. I called them. They have no record of anything like this, and this is the second time they have been notified of this happening with their seal on it. They told me they were officers when they called with the financial crime unit, so they are impersonating police officers.

I also have called the Attorney General's Office and filed a complaint. The bank can't help me get my money bank because I authorized it. I'm really at a loss and have had $1400.00 just taken from me. I googled USA Fast Cash scams; that's the company they said I owed. I have found about 10 stories from people all across the U.S. this has happened to. They even threatened rape to one person if they didn't pay. They said they didn't care about Americans or another, and I'm afraid I just gave money to terrorists. Help if you can. It has cost me $1428.00.

I made contact with these people for a loan to help with medical bills. According to my bank (Bank of America) these people started withdrawing money from my account under various business names. Even though the account is closed and has been for over a month, these people (India) still send through electronic checks and debits. They call every day more than once and leave terrible threatening messages. I have sent them a response asking for a mailing address in order to clear this matter.

As of this date, they have yet to provide any address and they continue to call and harass me. I have big time medical problems and with these people continuing to call and threaten me, I feel like some kind of horrible person. I've closed my bank account and have tried to get more information from them, but they will not supply any. The fraud department at my bank said there is really nothing legally that can be done. The bank has been trying to catch these people but cannot.

I have been scammed. In February this Indian-accented gentleman called me and told me I owed $1100.00 to a payday loan from a couple years ago. Ok, I had a couple so maybe I didn't write it down or something. He told me if I paid $800.00 that he would clear the balance, so like a sucker I paid it.

They even threatened rape to one person if they didn't pay. Said they didn't care about Americans on another and I'm afraid I just gave money to terrorists. Help if you can. It has cost me $1428.00.

I received a message Friday 4-16-10 on my home phone, it was a man with a deep Indian accent. He said his name was officer Karl Jones of the financial claims department at the courthouse. He said that someone was filing a financial crimes case against me and that he had my personal information even saying my social security number. He said i needed to call back right away. Feeling that this was a scam, i looked up the number on the Internet and found out it was a residential on listed number, so i didn't return call.

Today Monday 4-19-10, he called my house, i was at work. My boyfriend answered and it was the same man claiming to be an officer of the court and saying he needed to speak to me right away. I called back from work to get a answering machine, i didn't leave a message. 30 seconds later they called back my cell phone. I answered and said hello, a man said hello who is this, i said no who is this. This man claimed to be officer Steve C from the department of defense. He said who are you looking for , i said i don't know someone from this number left a message for me. So he covers the phone and i can hear him yelling, who has Erin P.

Meanwhile, I can hear a lot of people in the background with Indian accents all yelling the same things this guy had said on my answering machine. The man comes back after a minute and says, "He will call you back in 30 seconds. Is your number 8113?" I said, "No, I am not at that number right now." He hung up on me. About 10 seconds later, this officer Karl J calls and starts yelling into the phone telling me that he is going to have me verify all my personal information. He starts reading off my social security number, phone number, address, place of employment asking me to verify. I said I will not give you a personal information. I tried repeatedly asking him where he got my personal information and who he worked for. He kept avoiding it.

As he yelled at me telling me he was going to read me an affidavit and I better agree. He told me that I owed them $6442 and that I had borrowed it in a payday loan. He kept asking if I was going to resolve this with him today or should he proceed with the lawsuit. As he yelled at me, I repeatedly asked what company he worked for and who I had supposedly borrow this money from. He got very angry and said I would have to speak to his supervisor for that information. I said okay.

So the man called officer Steve C from the Department of Defense was the supervisor that got on the phone. As I asked what company he worked for, he got very angry and started yelling loudly telling me I need to pay for this loan i supposedly owed. I said, "Sir, this is a scam and I will not pay you a cent." At this point, he got very upset when I said the word scam and yelled, "We are going to make some terrible things happen to you in the next 24 hours. We know where you live and work and something bad is going to happen." Then he hung up. The name of the company he finally gave me was US Fast Cash International.

A man by the name of Officer Martin left a voice mail, stating that I was getting charges filed against me and if i didn't call him back, there would be serious consequences and to call his division back asap. I thought it was a serious police matter when in fact it wasn't. When I returned the call, they told me what it was regarding and I have never even heard of the company USA Fast Cash.

They didn't speak English clearly at all. They sounded like they were from India. So, I asked to speak to someone who spoke English clearly and they then asked me if I was deaf and stupid and that they were gonna come to my job. I was scared because they knew my address and name and phone number and social. I saved the voice mail in case they called to harass me again.

I took out a payday loan (first time ever). I used US Fast Cash. Not only are there fees and policies ridiculous but I became a victim of identity theft. I received a call from a guy with a heavy Indian accent who had all of my personal information. I know this came from US Fast Cash as he mentioned the two individuals I used as references. I had never before or since used these two individuals as references. So now some guys in India have all (including SS#) of my personal information. They have been calling demanding money and indicating I am going to be arrested and have even mentioned US Fast Cash.

In addition to the harassment, I will be spending time and money changing banking accounts and hiring a company to monitor my credit with the credit agencies for fraudulent activity. This is a monthly fee that I will probably be paying for several years. Apparently, US Fast Cash does not have the proper safety measures in place and are not securing confidential information. After talking with the US Dept. of Homeland Security and the Secret Service, I found out that this has been happening with US Fast Cash customers. Don's use US Fast Cash. It's not worth it!

This company is taking money out of my account. I have tried to contact them and the phone number when you call it says "good bye" and hangs up on you. I am going to contact my bank and report this charge as fraud but want to see if you can help me or get these criminals.

My spouse received a call this morning about an outstanding "payday loan" he supposedly had with them and how they are prosecuting on "criminal" charges. I took the phone from my husband as I know the collection laws and told the man that he is clearly harassing and therefore indicated he is a fraud after he continued to scream at me stating that I am just a woman and do not know anything. He said he would come rape me and my daughters. I then said that I did not have any kids and that what he said was offensive he said that I did not have children because I am a lesbian. He also said that he did not care about the United States and something about blowing us all up. He said he had a son that will come take care of me and my family. He mentioned something about putting a flower on my grave and so forth. The call was explicit, raw and extremely disturbing.

My husband heard all this and called the number back. What sounded like the same man answered and said,"Oh it sounds like you are that man with the stupid wife. Well, we are going to your house and we will rape her in front of you!" My husband hung up. Needless to say, this was more than disturbing. I was lucky enough to have my friend nearby who told me to put this call on speaker and he recorded parts of the call for me. I called the police, contacted the local news and even went as far as contacting CNN and 20/20. This is an outrage that Americans should not have to go through. I came across so many victims on this website and others like it. There are people with cancer that are being victimized, people who have recently lost loved ones, people who do not know these monsters are out there and will say anything to take your money. I want to know how to stop this from happening to anyone else.

I unfortunately suffer from PTSD due to a violent crime against me in my younger years. Sadly, hearing this man say what he said triggered some of my symptoms and for a while I was balled up crying. I wonder why it is these people can go on being so miserable? I came across this website and was shocked at how many people have been harassed in this manner. I am not sure who else to contact. Homeland security? FBI? Who can help people like us?

I had applied for an online loan in 12/15/09 and was denied. In Jan.2010, 2 different online loan companies withdrew money out of my checking account for membership fees, that I never agreed to. Went to my bank and a bank representative spoke with someone from the company and explained they have committed fraud, the company did return the funds, we closed our account.

Then on 2/25/10, I received threatening phone calls from this man saying he was with the U.S. Criminal Investigation in Seattle WA. He said, I was being charged with fraud, theft by deception, fraud by check deception and another charge, said I had received money $4,500.00 and never paid. My bank can back me up that amount was never put into my account. I called the local police dept., a local attorney, Attorney General and filed a complaint and I called this man back and told him who I have contacted. He still wanted me to settle out of court. I repeated who I have contacted and I wanted him to fax me the paperwork he had and he said he couldn't and hung up on me and would not answer any more of my calls. I have witnesses of how he threatened me on the phone.

I was told I was being sued by state of CA for loan that I didn't receive. I had most of my information. A guy I spoke with thick Indian accent and said attorney was Lawrence ***. I never received any certified documents or anything nor did I correct the information.

I received a voice mail on my cell phone on 2-20-10. The message stated, "this is Mike **, a police officer from the fraud unit please call me back." So I did a recording came on with no info just leave a message so I did. When I heard fraud unit, I was scared because I have never been in trouble.

Today, I finally got through and this gentleman answered and tried to intimidate me to settle out of court. He would not answer any of my questions and he was very rude and scary. He stated that money was a wire transferred into my bank account. I contacted my bank and my account was closed in September 09 and there was absolutely no record of any money wire transferred into my account.

I received a call from someone stating they were with the Fraud Investigation Unit and I was being charged with check fraud, theft, and a third that I didn't quite understand due to an outstanding loan with Fast Cash. The man speaking said he was a police officer. He stated I needed to fax him my bank information, copy of my license and have all of this notarized at the bank. He had my SSN, bank information, and address. He called me around 9:45 am at work and stated I had until 11:30 to get the payment "on his desk" or I was going to be prosecuted in court.

I contacted Fast Cash who told me they had no history of my taking out a loan with them and that this was a scam. They gave me the number of the Homeland Security Office, whom I contacted and was told that they were investigating a fraud based in India. I am supposed to get a call back from the agent investigating this.

This individual was very rude, didn't let me speak, and had a heavy Indian accent. There was a lot of background noise, too. He told me they weren't a scam. If they were, they would just take the money and not call me. What should I do? This just happened today, so now I have to take a day out of work and get this straightened out. I don't know if I should contact a lawyer.

I have received a phone call from this company stating that they were with the Financial Crime Investigation and I was being charges with 3 federal charges; federal banking fraud, check fraud and a 3rd one I could not understand. I spoke with 3 different people and they all had accents and you could hear the background noise on all 3 calls. They referred to themselves as officers and when I asked for back up documentation because I was unaware of the debt, they would not give me the information. They asked me to fax them a letter stating that I would pay this debt and give them my bank card number, the code on the back the amount of $725.00 and my signature notarized. Then, they stated that I needed to send a photo copy of my driver's license.

Well, this all seemed a little suspicious to me especially when I am creating a form and sending a photo id. They gave me a call back number. I was unaware of this company so I looked it up on the internet and found all of these complaints. Can someone please tell me if this really is a scam and if so, what do I need to do on my part to take care of it? They have my SSN and my address, work number and now cell phone number. If this really is a debt that I owe, not aware of, I will pay it, but if it is not, it is scary that they have all of my information.

This company is a third party for payday loan lender (FastCash/Payday Loan Yes). They called several of my relatives, gave out private information, threatened to serve summons on me at my place of employment or home, and this information was divulged to my relatives. They told my relatives they were a person of interest. I was mentally upset and so were my relatives. They were afraid that I would be locked up or something.

They called me at 5:15AM accusing me of 500 dollar fraud. He had all my bank info and including names of relatives. He was a fast talker with a heavy accent. I was going to call the police and said he was calling from the Washington State. I hung up on him. The caller ID said unknown name, unknown number. Too soon to tell but I am very upset since I am in the process of going through my bank statements to see if there is any deposit from these people or withdrawals.

US Fast Cash gave me a loan of $400 with a payback of $520 (documented). They took $120 for four months which gave me a remainder of $10. The following months they took $170 ($50 plus $120) then $152 ($50 plus $102) then $140 ($50 plus $90). Now tell me they want $125 ($50 plus $75) totalling an excess of $575. I have tried to call but to no avail; can you help me? And to top it off they say I still owe $325 this is absurd and ridiculous. Please help!

I received a phone call from my son's cell today telling me that he was Officer James **, Criminal investigator, and I am being brought up on Check Fraud charges and other criminal charges. He was a foreign-speaking male. He had my social security number and told me he was investigating for fast cash.

I asked him what fast cash was, and he got really ignorant and told me he didn't exactly know who was fast cash dealing with, as they are in connection with over 45 different companies. And he was not permitted to give me the number. When I told him I would not pay a dime until I knew who it was for, he told me nastily that he would see me in court. And he hoped I like prison and a large fine and hung up. I believe it was a fraudulent call, and they have my social.

I took out a payday loan of $250 over the internet with US Fast Cash in December 2009. After doing so, I discovered that this company was not licensed to lend in my state and that the "extension fees" they charge are not allowed by my state law. My state law indicates that any lender, internet or storefront, needs to be licensed in Michigan to lend in Michigan, even if they are located in another state or country. I paid one 'extension' fee of $75, but put a stop on their ACH withdrawals from my account after that because I wanted to settle my loan for the principal amount only since they were lending illegally. I was contacted by "Scott" after they attempted to debit my account a second time (and a third, a day later) to get another extension fee. They demanded that I pay in full ($430!) before 3 pm that day to prevent "further collection activity".

I advised Scott that I knew my state law did not allow them to lend in my state because they were not licensed here and the fees they were charging were not allowed by my state law. He insisted that they "were not breaking state laws." I asked which state he was referring to. He said, "We're located in Oklahoma." I responded, "Yes, I know that, but what state law are you referring to?" He would not answer, saying he was not an attorney and would not debate the law with me. I told him I wasn't an attorney either, but I could read and my state law says they are lending illegally in Michigan. He then offered to settle my loan for $344, down from the $430 he was demanding earlier (plus the $75 I'd already paid). I counter-offered to pay the $250 principal only, but he said he couldn't accept that. I told him I'd contact my state's Attorney General's office and see what they had to say about it. He said that was fine, and he welcomed me to call him back. I should have known something was up--he was too calm.

I called my state's Attorney General, who advised me to file a complaint with them and to get in touch with the Oklahoma State Banking Authority. I called them, and they referred me to the Oklahoma Consumer Credit Protection Agency. So I called that agency. And guess what? I found out precisely why Scott was so calm on the phone.

This company is not regulated by US or state law. They are located on Indian Tribal lands. That means they are untouchable and not governed by state law--Oklahoma or Michigan. So they can lend into any state they want, charge any fees or interest rate they want (no matter how exorbitant) and they don't fear the consequences. Seeing that I really had no choice, I called Scott back, gave him a rather large piece of my mind, and paid off my loan in full for the settlement amount he offered. I told him I hoped he could sleep at night, knowing what kind of company he was working for. I had to pay over $425 to settle a $250 payday loan. Never again. I don't care how bad things get. Someone needs to run these people out of business.

Several year's ago i took out a payday loan with us fast cash. i had several withdrawls from my bank account that overdrew my account and the bank suggested closing the account to stop it. Over the last 4 year's I have received numerous call's at home and at work from this company(i use that term lightly).

I requested on more than one occasion for them to mail me something with the detail's of the account so i could pull my old record's from that account to check on this information. They refuse to mail me anything. They also keep changing the amount that is owed. I have told them more than once as my boss did as well to not call me at work as i work in a prison and personal phone call's for such issue's is not allowed.

I have recently started keepinga journal of the date and time and the name of ther person calling(they only will give 1st name. The last woman to call this afternoon became very rude when i told her to mail me the info that i would not do anything over the phone or the computer again. I told her as i have for the last 4 or so year's that if they mail me something and i find it to be legit i would mail a money order but would NEVER give my bank information to them again. Please help with any advice i have cancer which i have told them more than once and do not need the added stress they are causing me.

took out payday loan six years ago. willing to repay loan. will not give banking info to them! they say that they can,t send bill in the mail! why is this? have had problems with them taking money out of my bank acct. before! what should i do?

I am getting numerous voicemail threats from this place reputing to work for Fast Cash International. I just returned a call to these people. They had left 6 prior voicemails to return the call and if I had an attorney that my attorney needed to contact them. I Called 2 times before and they hung up on me. This time I got someone from what sounded like India but at an american area code and each time the phone numbers to call back were different.

I was asked if I knew about a pending suit for some $6,000.00 dollars for using a web site service where they were able to pull the first amount of funds out (they confirmed the routing number but not the actual account number) but when they tried to pull funds the second time the bank did not pay that amount. I asked how much and he got rude and told me I will know once the file in the superior court for MD. I could pay the balance of $590.00 or when I appear in court I will have to pay the fine of over the 6k or 2 months of jail time.

What really aggravates me is they know two of my co-workers by full name. The ONLY thing I can think of is they got this information from another fast cash service I used months ago and HAD to use friends names. This agency was 1-800-899-cash. It is very probable this scam derives from an legitimate company. Also, I asked why I have not been served and he states this is a kind gesture on their part before service of notice and that if I did not appear at the court house this Monday the 14th I would be charged. First off since when was a civil matter criminal?

These people were VERY unproffesional and rude. Numerous other things discussed got me interested that this was a serious issue so I decided to google this company. And here I am. I told them I was going to counter sue and the bozo actualy told me I could not counter suit. I said what planet are you from, I can do anything in this country I wanted so long as it was legal and he got nasty with me and said then see you in court and hung up. I have since researched this more and the same gentleman (india accent) left a scripted voicemail 6 times on my work phone AND still calls me on my cell phone. I don't think they track their calls very well.

I left an incident report with the FBI but will also call them on monday the 14th and I am leaving a report with the MD State Atty gen after I leave this report for you. I am concerned about ID theft, although I have not heard anyone say that has occured. Some people sadly have given in to these threats.

I tried to call back a few moments ago to the 714- and now it goes to a zipphone and the guy must have turned it off. Their scam scripts are horrible. If you need anything further from me such as phone numbers that keep showing up different when they call me I have those but the same return number to call back is the one in this report.

I received a threatening phone call from US Fast Cash saying that I had taken out a payday loan with them in 2008. I have not taken a pay day loan with them. I did take out some pay day loans last year but paid them all off. They said it was federal banking check fraud. They said I took a loan for 300.00 and now with fees they said I owe them 546.00. They said I solicited funds. They accused me of federal banking check fraud.

They kept asking for my banking information. I wouldnt give it to them. I kept saying that I need to see where I took out the loan before I give you my debit card. They kept threatening me with legal action. They were all foreigners and were very abusive on the phone.

They kept transferring me to another person. I was transferred 4 times. They instructed me to fax them a letter saying I would settle this outside of court. They told me they would give me the information regarding this case after I paid off the loan not before. They have my social security number and my previous address. I did not give them any information.

The following notice has been sent twice now, with no reply, and they will not stop. They have been asked 5 times.

"US FAST CASH:

You are hereby ordered (FOR THE LAST TIME) to CEASE AND DESIST from calling my home, and/or using this or any other email address you MAY have obtained Illegally! You have NOW entered an area of Criminal Harassment, and I have ordered LEGAL action against you. Your services have NEVER been asked for or implied by anyone in this household.

To continue calling my home EVERY day starting at 8 AM in the morning OR, at any other time, including Saturdays, is UNACCEPTABLE and will no longeer be tolerated. You have now been asked 5 times prior to STOP, and still you continue! The telephone number you are calling is NON-PUBLISHED and UNLISTED. There is also a person who is VERY SICK here, and does not want your phone calls at ANY time."

I am very sick and have never done any business with this sham company. Both Emails have told them to stop, and I have told them personaly by phone to stop 5 times. They are now affecting my health and well being, and sleep problems. If they do not stop by Monday, I am going to our local Police, both me, and my wife.

I requested a refund of $79.90 charged to my credit card because I never entered the site to use the 7-day Free trial. Customer Service refused a refund because their disclaimer stated that the 7-day free trial started when you signed up. This information was in a Terms and Conditions item in very small print at the bottom of the first page of the website, and would not have been seen if the viewer did not scroll the page all the way down. I did not see it to read this disclaimer and did not understand that by entering the site one would be liable for the charges.

The following is a copy of email correspondence with Customer Service at "FastCash" and is my response to looking at the disclaimer on the site: "I have looked at the site link you sent. The disclaimer at the bottom of the page is extremely obscure and would be not seen at all if the viewer did not scroll the page all the way down. There is no indication whatsoever in the body of this first page that there will be charges or a trial period before filling out any personal information "to see if you qualify." Your disclaimer should be prominent in the body of the web page, and required reading before entering the site. By not having this disclaimer required reading before entering the site you are not fulling disclosing what the consumer is agreeing to by seeing if "they qualify." I consider this malicious and extremely misleading and will be reporting these actions to the proper consumer protection agency. Anita J."

I have been unemployed since April 2009 and this additional expense, which I thought I had not incurred, is a hardship on my financial situation.

I recevied phone call at my job. Telling me that I was being sued, needed lawyer. Man stated that I had a payday loan, and I failed to pay. I NEVER received any payday loan. Man told me not to hang up, the conversation was being recorded. He knew my ss number and where I worked, said that he was going to contact my job and money will be taken out. I have no records of receiving a loan. He was very rude, telling me I needed lawyer asap. I am worried someone has my information.

I am a secretary for the fire department. "Daniel" called up demanding to speak with a fellow employee and when I screened the call, as is customary. He began verbally abusing me, stating, "You all are like baking a cake, sifting through the flour. You keep sifting out your calls. You can't do that to me, I am smarter than that. I am smarter than you all. And until she calls me back, I'm going to keep calling you and you're going to have to keep dealing with me, because I am not going away. I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to be right there, and I'm going to keep calling your work, while you're at work. If you want to give me a better number, I'll call you there, but until then, well." At that point, I put him on speakerphone because I was stunned and wanted everyone to hear this barrage of abuse.

I received over six or seven calls today from Fast Cash loan's "law firm". I called them back and they never informed me of this case. He said he was putting his supervisor on but never did. He acted like he was a supervisor and told me that they were filing a lawsuit comprised of three charges: check fraud, theft, and another fraud. They told me that I needed to have an attorney to be at the court tomorrow by 11 am. I had told him that I never received a loan from them and they had never contacted me about this case. He stated that I was notified by email. He also said I needed to have a letter of resignation from my employer as well.

I almost fell into this trap. He told me that I could settle it out of court but I had to make my first payment of $745.75 today by 7 pm my time, 5pm theirs, which gave me a two-hour window. I told him that I had not had access to my email because I had spine surgery two months ago and this was only my second day back. He would not tell me how much the loan was. Only that they were going to be charging me almost $9,000.00. He said it was paid to me by EFT.

I contacted my bank and they had no record of any payments received by them. He would not let me talk to his supervisor when I called back to get these details. He said he was going to contact my employer and tell them what type of employee I was, as well as contacting my co-workers and family. He kept hanging up with me and gave me two names of the same supervisor but told me that his supervisor did not have the kind of time my dad did and if I wanted to know which court to be at, to have my dad look it up. I had told him that my dad worked for a judge and had told me that everything they were doing was illegal and/or false. I instructed him that it was not my dad's job to do his, and that he needed to tell me the details if he wanted me to take care of it.

I kept getting an anonymous call and when he left the voice mail, he told me that he was representing Fast Cash and I needed to get a lawyer or they will appoint one to me. He also stated to me directly that I needed to be in California by 6-19 and bring my references that were listed on the application with me. He also stated that if I didn't show up to the court in California that I would have a red flag on my credit report, I would lose my license, they would come to my job and serve my boss and if would be fired as a result.

He stated that I would have a warrant for my arrest and that they would fax the warrant to my home town and has the police pick me up for fraud, money laundering, and a few more charges. He stated that the only way I could resolve this out of court is if I paid 50% of $1,140.50 no later than in the morning (even though I only owed $400, he said that's for finance charges, late fees and attorney fees) and I had to write an apology letter to the federal legislation of unsecured loans. The number that I have for him is a Washington number but he gave me a California fax number to send a notarized apology letter to him and I only had an hour to do so. He stated that if I didn't do as told, I would have more charges added. He was so rude even after knowing that I had been in and out the hospital. It didn't matter to him at all knowing I had just got home from the hospital. He just continued to make threats.

Somebody used my info to get a loan from US Fast Cash. I didn't realize that there was $300 credited to my account and that they were taking money out twice a month. I found out when I started receiving overdraft charges. I contacted the bank and they told me that I had to handle it through the company and not the bank. Since then, they have taken $100,000 out of my account. I am going to file for identity fraud. Please help.

was left a voicemail on my cell phone and work number from G. Smith. Telling me that it is impairative that i called them back today. Wehn called back spoke to rude person explaining to me that i'm being sued and that someone needs to speak to my attorney about this case. when asking about information they were vagur not giving me dates or amounts. they were claiming that i took out a payday loan and never paid back so there were 3 felony counts against me.

Tried to explain that i did indeed remember filling out applications for payday loans but did not request any money. Then they were reading off information like my bank that i use and my company that i work for and 2 references that i put down and telling me they are going to notify these people of these felonies i'm being charged with.

I'm worried that if they have my bank information and other information like social security number that my identity is out in the open for people to do as they may.

Threating Calls - fear of being taken to court bad viw of type of person i am.

They called my friend and tried to get her to call me regarding debt.

stress, embarrasment. I want to file a complaint but they will not give me an address

I had a pay day loan with them. I set up to pay my loan off on 11/10/08 on line for it to be taken out of my account on 11/21/2008. When the day came for it to be taken out, they took 90.00 out and not the full amount of 390.00. That morning I called the company they told me that they never recieved my request. I then advised them that I want them to take out the 300.00. I was told I going to charge another 90.00. When I advised that I call the same day that 390.00 should have been taken the lady on the phone became very rude.

Now I have to pay addional 90.00 even after trying to pay off my loan/

Now I have to pay addional 90.00 even after trying to pay off my loan/

I was unable to pay back my loan on time. I received a very nasty call at work from Margaret. When I told her that I wasn't allowed to take these calls at work and I would give her my cell number, she told me that she would call me where ever she wanted. She also told me that she would have papers served to my office.

Two days later, she called on my cell phone and told me that I am a liar and that she didn't want to hear that my husband's benefits had been incorrectly routed. She threatened to embarrass me at work and wouldn't allow me to make any payment arrangements. I told her that there is Fair Debt Collection and that she is not following those rules, her reply, Get the name right! I can do whatever I want. I did a background check on you! She had me in tears but, more importantly, I plan to fight back... but, don't know how!

So far, all I have had to deal with is Margaret's threatening, harrassing calls. However, if she serves me papers at my office, instead of my home - she has my address, I will lose my job. My husband is disabled, this is not acceptable.

I applied for a $350 loan which I recieved. I have been charged $105 every 2 weeks for which I tried calling to find out what my balance was. They told me that I would oew $590 at that time to pay it off. When I asked about the $420 that they had already taken, they said that was pure interest and that none applied to my account. They then attempted to debit my account for 2 $105 payments which made my account go into the negative. They then kept trying to collect this which caused my account to keep being charged until I was negative $1200.

I again tried to get an answer from them as to why this was so much for 1 month. They would not respond, only to say that they would close the account for another $590. That would total over $1100 in a months time. I then contacted the website saying that they needed to stop debiting my account and that I would stop payment which I tried to do. They then debited my account for 2 payment of $295 each so that the bank would not pick up on the stop payment. They also added another $30 to each. I have stopped payment on these, but the bank says the only way I can stop them is to close the account. What can I do to stop the constant debitting of my account which they keep sending into the negative? They refuse to answer any questions that I ask and have never sent me anything with their address.

Got a loan for a weekend get away in May. $300 dollars. Notices that everytime I got paid which is every 2 weeks they debt my checking accout. I emailed and asked after 3 monthes of paying anywhere from $90 up to $145 why was I still paying and I was emailed back that the first 4 payment were set up fees. So I paid $360 (90*4) on a loan for just $300 and had not paid on the laon itself just setup fees and finance charges.

Now I am up to $460 paid and still have a balance of $260 on a $300 loan?? This is so unfair and I really wish someone would do something about this company I have debt of 115 planned for 29/Aug/2008 which will bring my total to $575. So i'm going to just pay if off if they let. Please let anyone that you know not to deal with this company.Never will I deal with them again!!!

margerat from fastcashloans legal deparment keeps calling me telling me that shes going to call my landlady and fax my job to sue or garness my wages. she is very rude. i took a loan out and i cant pay it back right now and when she calls it feels like a threat. it is really embarrassing when she calls my work and i get really sick to my stomach when she leaves meesages on my cell phone. i dont no my legal rights are. if i had the money i would pay it off. she makes me feel little just by the way she talks

I was contacted and told I'd been approved for a loan I'd applied for online and that I'd need fax over the appropriate information and to pay an upfront fee because it was from a private lender being that I do have problem credit. I was told to wire transfer the fee to another individual that was my private lender using Money Gram. After the money was wired, and the weekend passed with no word from anyone, I was told the private lender ran my credit again and decided I was a risk and needed to send the other portion of the upfront fee. I told her I would not be sending any more money and was told that I'd be contacted when the private lender decided how they would be refunding me. I have rec'd no call and have called several times, leaving messages, with no response.

I paid $536 and rec'd nothing for it as agreed upon. My bills have been unpaid because I applied for loans to get caught up on some bills that had fallen behind. Now those bills are even more behind and bills that were up-to-date are no longer that way.

In September 2007 I took out a payday loan with US Fast Cash. Due to some financial difficulties I have had trouble paying them off. When speaking with a representative I was told that I would have to pay 930.00 back off of a 300.00 loan. They persistently call my home. Then on Monday, April 21, 2008, at 8:48 am, I received a call at work from US Fast Cash. I advised the man calling, who did not identify himself that he was not allowed to call my job as I am unable to receive such calls at work.

The representative continued with his threats of collection and garnishes my wages. I advised the representative garnishment of wages is not a legal practice in South Carolina. He completely ignored everything I was saying and talked over me. I hung up on him. Again on Thursday April 24, 2008, at 11:15 am I receive another call from US Fast Cash. I immediately told the gentle that I had given previous instructions not to call me at work and that if they persisted I would report them to consumer affairs. His reply was, that is fine. Tell them I said hi.

By calling me on my job and treating to send my employer instructions for garnishment of wages, they are treating my career and a likelihood of termination.

I needed some fast cash, my grandmother was dying and I needed money to get home to her. So I borrowed $1600.00 against my title. This title loan has already turned into $5000.00 and I have not even started paying on my loan, this is just interest alone. So a $1600.00 loan that I borrowed, before I pay this off to get my title back, I will have paid almost $8,000.00. Can you guys help me? Predatory lending is a big No No here in Florida, and I didn't know what I signed up for here and this is ridiculous. My car isn't even worth this much!

I've been yelled at by these people wanting more money from me and I have had my power, water, & phones cut off due to this because of paying them on interest. I was even told by one of their reps. that I was getting robbed blind and her bosses were crooks, and it was in my best interest to pay this off quickly even though I have paid $2000 more dollars that I didn't even borrow. I have paid almost $5000 on a $1600 loan.

First, Mr Shockley called me and he was rude, I could tell by his voice. I then told him I would try and pay him on the 1st if my dad gave me the money. Well, my dad didn't send me money. So that's when I started getting the bad calls. He would call my job 2 to 3 times a day yelling at me, saying I was a liar. So I asked him to stop calling me. He did, but Margaret was way worse. She always called my job after I asked her to stop. She said, "why are you out there writing bad checks?", telling me how I was going to get fired from my job and she was going to call my boss and tell her that I don't need to be working there. She went on about how she was going to report me. She called me way to much at my job. It was embarrsing to have to try to avoid her because I didn't want my coworkers to know what was going on.

So one day she calls my job and she was just awful. I talked to my boss that morning and told her about what all was going on in my life and the mess I had made so not to long after that she called me and was yelling at me so bad that I started crying. I told my boss that she was on the phone and my boss told me to tell her if she was going to talk to me that way then I was not to talk to her. So I told her that and she demanded to speak to my boss. I told my boss what was going on, I couldn't stop crying, so my boss got on the phone and talked to her. I went to my boss to see what happened and she told me that she was completely rude to her the moment she got on the phone she wanted my boss to give her human resources number and my boss said she couldn't so she snapped at my boss and told her yes she could. So my boss put her on hold to call HR and she hung up and never called back. I was so upset because my boss had nothing to do with it, she knows her job.

I have been so stressed behind this, I wish I would have known ahead of time how they treated their customers. I just moved to Spokane about 2 years ago with my children and my boyfriend and I didn't know it was going to be this hard being on our own, with really no help. We depend on each other through hard times. It was my choice to get the payday loan. At the time I thought it was the right one. I had done it before with no problems but this time I didn't work because my girls got sick and then I got sick, so I missed work sometimes and that puts all our bills in danger. I have to provide for 2 little girls who depend on me to keep a roof over their head, to keep clothes on their back and a full stomach, so yes, it gets hard for me. I intend to pay them back because I owe them and it was on my mind heavy and I stressed out a lot about it. I can't balance at work because this is worrying me with them calling, acting all crazy. I want people to know how they treat people.

I was a customer with Fast Cash Loans for about a year. I paid on time, all the time. I went in there and told them I could not afford to do this anymore; they said I could set up a payment plan--my bill was $575.00. I gave them $75.00. I got the receipt and it still said $575. The lady told me that was the price I had to pay to enter into a payment plan. So I asked her if I paid $75.00 a week if that would be ok. She told me it would only take care of the finance charges. My bill would not go down so I refused to give them anymore money for free. They called my employer and yelled at him over the phone. Then they continued to call me at work constantly harassing me. They even said they put a lien against my home. The bill now has risen to $900.00. I have the money to pay them now, BUT SHOULD I? LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

SUPPOSED LIEN AGAINST MY HOME ADDS STRESS TO ME ANd MY FAMILY.



I went in to Fast Cash to request a payment plan. When I made the request they told me I had to pay an additional $75 fee to set up my payment plan. I have set up a payment plan with them before and I never had to pay any extra fee. They changed their contract to include this extra fee equal to the fee for the loan to set up payments. I refused because I wasn't going to pay that charge. I couldn't afford to pay the loan off.


I will have to try to do a stop payment on my check because it will be cheaper than the $75 and then they will come after me for collection.



After being a week late on paying my loan back the collector Carol called my work and told my co-worker who she was, where she worked and that they were going to be garnishing my wages because I failed to pay back my loan. Carol claims that my co-worker was claiming to be HR but I work in a hospital, HR is a totally different building and number. My co-worker never said anything except our address. A couple weeks later they started calling me about 5 times a day saying that I could try to get an attorney but I would never be able to afford one since I couldn't even pay back my loan and that I was mouthy. All I did was call and tell them to stop calling my work and that I would be in to pay my loan and I gave them the date that I would be in which was 3 days away. They then called me and said that they didn't play by my rules that I had to play by theirs and that I shouldn't waste my gas driving there if I didn't have all the money and that they would call when they wanted and I had no say in it because I was the one in the wrong by not paying back my loan. They were horrible and harrassing and wouldn't let me do a payment plan or anything.


I had to stop payment on the check that I gave them because they were trying to put it through to my account a couple times a day and ended up having to close my account.


Fast Cash payday is still in business when I borrowed $500 and arranged for the money to be taken out of my checking account on my payday - the company chosse to take it out 2 weeks later. There was insufficient funds in the account at that time. I agreed to pay them the $500. However, they told me that I now owed them an excess of $800. There is no address for this lender and the only way you can pay is to send it my monet-gram. I've in dispute with this lender for the past 7 months.



Margaret at Fast Cash Loans refused to give me her last name. Neither woudl she make payment arrangements to repay the loan. She threatened to call my boss and advise them that I wasn't paying my bills. She stated that if I didn't get off work early to come into their office, she would file a lawsuit against me.


I was made to feel that I am some type of criminal. She was very threatening to me. The stress is taking it's toll on my health.



I took out a loan and i was paying it back. i missed a payment and she called to ask about collections. she told me that she would have me arressted and call my job and tell them that i was going to jail, because i work at a school. she told me that she could have me put in jail and lose my kids.


i was very upset, i tried caling around to borrow money


I have with me 6 Money Orders issued by Americas Fast Cash. How do I know if these are not counterfeit Money Orders? As I was reading this article regarding this company, it led me to believe that there no longer in business in Washington..but are they in other state?



I took a loan via computer for $300 and I provided my checking acct info to this company. They deposited the funds into my acct. and then took $90.00 USC three weeks later...which was before the expected deduction-which was my payment of 1/2 the loan...there was no way to contact this company...I have spoken to them after they called me via cell...


the loan conditions were changed by them without notice to me...I was expecting alf the amount plus interest to be paid to them..not payments of $90.00 which would accrue so much interest...25 percent!!!!..a scam!!!


I took out a payday loan with the organization. I was reloaning every two weeks.

In October of 2005, my pay check was shorted $800 and I was unable to honor the pay day loan check. Three days prior to the due date, I called Fast Cash loans and explained. At the time, they informed me that it was ok and to stop pay on the check and that a Mr. Shockley will call me to make arrangements to pay it off. I did just that.

I then contacted them a week later as I had not heard from them and wanted to take care of the check and arrangements to pay them through my online banking.

I spoke with a Denise who told me that I can pay $165 every two weeks until it is paid off. I was unable to do this and requested the address once again, to set up payments. She refused, stating they were not set up for payments but, she offered again to make the payment arrangements every two weeks.

I attempted on more than 7 more times from Oct to current to obtain an address to send payments once a month. As of today, I have yet to receive an address.

I have also asked that they call me on my cell phone during the daytime since I work and I am unable to answer my phone at home and I wanted to get this taken care of asap. They continued to call my home and leave me threatening messages but still not providing an address.

After each voicemail, I would return the call of course after hours and leave more messages requesting an address.

I was forced to have my voicemail at home turned off to prevent the threatening messages.

Yesteray, November 14, 2005, my 11 year old son told me that Mr. Shockly called from Fast Cash Loans called and stated If your mom does not pay her bad checks, she will get all her wages garnished. Do I need to say more??? This company is threatening and are using illegal tactics and refusing to work with me.


We were unable to pay back our loan and were unable to make the payment arrangements they offered. They would not let us make smaller payments. As I was unemployed and we had no intention at the time of not paying the loan on time we were hoping they would work with us.

We recieved numerous nasty and demeaning calls from Olivia Cruz saying we could not run, she knew where my husband worked and they were filing a claim with Pierce County Court and that his paycheck would be garnished and that we would pay court fees and did we think we got away with something and did we think this was just free money.On and on in a very nasty tone usually ending in you have yourself a great day! then slamming the phone down. There was no reason to call her back because we just didn't have as much money as they wanted and wouldn't take payments we could afford.

We aren't bad people and we weren't trying to get away with anything. We are now in a position to pay this off and can't seem to get thru to anyone there.


Fast Cash, Inc. is a payday loan company. I initially borrowed $300 and then another $300, for a total of $690 (including interest charges of $90).

I have received 2 letters demanding payment or they will file criminal charges against me (citing the NSF laws of South Carolina).

This is prohibited in South Carolina under the FTC and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which state that Fast Cash may not threaten or intimidate me by threatning to file criminal charges. They may only file civil actions under South Carolin Law.


Fast Cash's actions have resulted in tremendous mental stress upon myself and especially my wife, who is already recovering from emotional problems resultant from a stroke and seizure, which she is being treated for by her doctor.
