Stay away from this non-accredited business. I was alerted by my credit monitoring that a hard inquiry by Ace Cash Express was reported. After going through several phone calls of which no one could tell me anything I was given an email address to write to. All I wanted was for them to remove the inquiry from my report and to send me a Credit Inquiry Removal Letter.
They are being unruly, they did not ask for consent to do a Hard Inquiry which is a requirement, the loan would have been secured via ACH should I have taken it. They will ruin your financial life for 2 years. Imagine going to a bank for a car loan and they see on the traditional 3 major credit bureaus that a payday lender is listed as an inquiry, which is unheard of when it comes to payday lending and small dollar loans, the bank will laugh you out the door. ACE Cash is not an accredited business and gets security from ACH or debit cards as a payday loan lender.
Again there was no consent to do a hard pull from the 3 credit bureaus. They have also without permission pulled money out of my bank account and I have no business with them! STAY AWAY! They need to remove these hard inquiries from my credit files. I do not agree to them. I canceled the loan prior to signing it up, I went to the storefront whom the Manager Shirley? or Cheryl? in Kansas City, KS Stated that ACE cash has never done hard pulls on one's credit file. But they have done so. I will be writing the Texas Attorney General and possibly suing for financial damages. For anyone who got hit with a hard inquiry without consent I suggest contacting the CFSA, the CFPB, lodging a complaint with The Fair Credit Reporting Act under 15 U.S.C. § 1681.

I am writing to you because I have not been able to get through to anyone else regarding my experience with this particular Ace Cash Express store #2014. I went to Ace Cash Express, Oklahoma City, OK to cash a check written to me from my Insurance Company. I have been an Ace customer for years and years. I am in their system and have cashed a check from this Insurance company before for $3200. I paid the huge fees to cash this check, I was asked to bring in several documents to verify my identity, I have a driver's license and I had the phone number to the Insurance Office that wrote me the check (they are located in Missouri) and also the number to verify funds for the check. My check was cashed.
After this very long process I was told that "when you bring in your next installment (2 of 3) from this company, you will have NO problems since I waited 2 hours for them to complete the verification process." I was told, "it's all in the computer". Well, I received my 2nd installment from my Insurance Company and went to Ace. I took it back to the same Ace location and much to my surprise she asked me for all my documents over again, I gave her all my information over again. The CSR Shay got on the phone and verified the check with the company that wrote it and also verified the funds. She then submitted it to someone else. I waited for over an hour for someone to call her back to release the funds. She said she saw where I had cashed a check from the same company a few months prior but It was over the limit of what she could cash so she had to call someone else. She said she had no idea why it would take so long.
Finally, the call came back from her District Manager Kim (the next verifying person saying, "she just wasn't comfortable cashing my check"). All my information was verified, checked and double checked but Ace Representative did not cash the check. I am baffled. I don't want to believe I was racially profiled by Ace but there is absolutely no other explanation for this. No one could give me an explanation since everything was in order.
I called the corporate office and I was told by the receptionist she could not take a message but she could put me into a Supervisor's voicemail, they were all in a meeting. I left a detailed message and have never received a phone call back. I called again and I was told they were all in a meeting. I then decided to write an email to Ace president, I have not received a response. There is no resolve and that's probably why the lazy employees do whatever they want to do with the customers. They don't have to be accountable. This is shady business In Oklahoma.
The guidelines for cashing a check is clearly posted. They also state that it's fast and easy. None of this is true. I am going to continue to pursue this matter of unfair treatment and I advise anyone of color in Oklahoma to not expect an easy process with this location and they make judgment calls based on your RACE!!!! Please post your experience so other can become aware and stop doing business with this company.

After going through several phone calls of which no one could tell me anything I was given an email address to write to. All I wanted was for them to remove the inquiry from my report and to send me a Credit Inquiry Removal Letter. They informed me I would need to file a police report if I didn’t “apply for these loans.” First of all I was never told there were actually loan applications in my name, and certainly nothing specific like when, or where or what information was given.
Am I supposed to go to the police saying “I need to file a report because my identity was stolen” and then say “Based on what evidence?” And I respond with “Ace Cash Express ran my credit without my authorization.” Beware of this company. They obviously either don’t verify anyone’s identity or if they do, they somehow make it your fault/responsibility when they run a fraudulent credit inquiry. I’ve never used Ace Cash Express but if this is how they do business I will be making it a point to warn everyone I come across not to use them.

I received an e-mail stating I'm approved for an installment loan. So I called and they asked all sorts of questions regarding my banking then told me they needed me to provide them with my personal banking login information as they would make a trial deposit in my account then go in and withdraw that - then send me the amount they indicated I was originally approved for. No way would I give anyone access to my bank account. BEWARE and do not give access to your bank account to these people - very scary!!!

I needed a quick payday loan for an emergency to pay back in 4 payments on a set payment schedule. I made first payment on exact due date. The second payment was paid 2 weeks before the due date. The day after the second payment the remaining two payments plus a $20 fee was pulled directly from my checking account. This practice was an illegal draw as I was not past due. I contacted both the home office and the local office demanding they remove the draw on my account as it over drafted my account sending back a regular auto payment which has been set up to pay my monthly utilities every month. The corporate office told me to go to the local office to fix it as they would approve it.
The local office staff person was totally rude and yelling at me blaming me for yelling at her worker (which I was not, just mentioned her name as she set up the original payment plan). If there had not been a glass window stopping her from getting close up to my face I was appalled by her actions as her hands were showing aggression towards me in a threatening way. She insisted that their home office could not approve advancing funds as they do not know the laws. Best advice I can give anyone considering using their company for fast cash in an emergency is to go elsewhere to obtain help since they will draw your funds out of your account at any unapproved time and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

In a nutshell how are you going to tell me I was only given a 200 dollar loan based on my credit!! First of all you want to be important and placed with the high rollers in the banking industry but you're not! How are you going to judge me based on my credit as it is a little over 600+ and what makes you think you can run my credit with access to my bank by personal check and... my debit card!! Really!! I'm reporting your illegal operation for even doing a credit check on a payday loan and trust you guys were just a last minute and paying back loan in a few days!!! How dare you!...
As if it wasnt for the many many customers you have... you would be out of business now!! So stop doing hard credit checks and realize that you are not a federal reserve bank!!.. As so many of these payday chop shops have been closed due to their greediness!! I am pissed as you had the audacity to check my credit in order to decide on the amount I should receive!! This is not the last time Ace Cash Express is going to hear from me... I am LIVID!!!

First off, they asked him where he got the check. I guess if you send back phone cards you didn't need from Christmas you're targeted. Sprint issued the check. He called sprint in front of them and they were very rude. The Mexican chic asked him was he talking to someone that was pretending to be a sprint. My son's not a liar. But they racial profiled him. We took the same check over to Bank of America. And they said the check is real!. That she obviously don't know what number to use. That they would have cashed it. Now my son has to call Sprint. And get another one issue. Military people keep your kids away! Don't go to the one on rancher... Never again. It's a shame hard working people gonna put up with these type of idiots.

I applied for a bad credit loan on the internet for $5000. I received several texts from Ace Cash Express asking me to call a Mr. S. ** at **. I did not returned the call. I received a text this morning stating that I got the loan and what my payments would be monthly. I text back to see if it was true and I was texted back confirming the loan, so I called. After I verified my banking information and social security number, Mr. ** told me that I needed to pay $220 upfront before the funds can be transferred to my bank account.
I told him to shred my information because I did not have any money to pay an upfront first monthly payment. Then he text back again stating: "Congratulation." Telling me the monthly payment amount of $233 and the duration of the loan 24 months. Then he stated, "As a Company don't believe any upfront in form of, credit or debit card. So please call at below number Now! to get money cash within 45 minutes!!! Thanks & Regards Spencer ** Ace Cash Express". This sounds strange.

ACE is aware of fraudulent emails from individuals claiming to be from ACE Cash Express. These individuals may tell you that you are approved for a loan, provided that you are able to provide a “test deposit” beforehand. In reality, these are fraudulent attempts to solicit money from you, and they are NOT from ACE Cash Express.

Stay away! If you’re a day late on your payment and they can’t reach you, they’ll call and harass your relatives, friends and acquaintances about your loan. They’ll tell them it’s for a lawsuit which isn’t true. I tried making a payment for my husband over the phone but since I wasn’t on the disclosure list they couldn’t discuss any information regarding the loan with me. I told the representative that was fine I just wanted to make a payment for whatever the amount was past due. She kept asking “How much is due?”
I told her the dollar amount and that I didn’t know the exact change. She kept repeating that she can’t discuss that information with me and I told her “I don’t want to discuss the information, I just want to make a payment for whatever the amount is past due! You don’t even have to tell me the amount. Just charge my card!” She refuses and I asked to speak to her manager. Luckily her manager was very nice and was able to assist me with the payment. It’s ridiculous that I had to go through all of that just to make a payment.

First off when I initially needed to borrow money from this rip off company, I was never told that I would need to bring a personal check each time I came just to re-borrow. So I arrived 2 days early to pay my loan and re borrow only to be told I was denied for using counter checks given by the bank teller. So not only did I pay my money only to be denied of getting it back but my business was conducted under false pretenses, and at this point I am highly seeking litigation against this company. Such a rip off!

Complete scam. I was issued a NetSpend card WITHOUT my knowledge. I went into the Ace Cash Express at 228 Eastway Dr, Charlotte, NC 28213 a few weeks ago to cash a money order. The associate started asking questions like my social and my driver's license. I was caught off guard, so I gave it to her first, and then I was puzzled that she was asking so many questions to cash a money order. So I asked her if she needed all this information, and she said "yes, we need it since this is your first time here". After cashing the check, she gave me a VISA debit card and said that she refunded part of the fee on the card for me ($10). I thanked her and left, but I was still very uneasy about the whole transaction.
A few weeks later, I received a NetSpend card in the mail in my name. I then realized she was opening an account in my name. But I got really busy and left the card so I can call later and close the account. So I called the number on the card today, and the representative I talked to was rude beyond expression. He tells me that the information I gave him "did not match" and that I have to call them back and get help closing the account. I asked him what information he needed, but all he kept saying was that I had to call back. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and he put me on hold for 56 min until I got to talk to someone and had the card cancelled. Altogether, a really bad experience for me.

I took out a payday loan with Ace Cash Express, to cover some unexpected medical bills. I knew I would be paying off the loan in two weeks and had no intention of extending it. The actual process of requesting the money online was very smooth and easy. The money was transferred to my bank account the next day with no hassles. But then the phone calls started. Twice, sometimes three times a day. It was an Ace customer service rep "reminding me my loan comes due in _# of days." Yeah, I know that. I signed the paperwork. I told them I didn't want to extend the loan. They kept calling. Finally I ended up blocking the number so all the calls would go to voicemail. Still, every day there would be two or three messages in my mailbox, for two solid weeks.
Finally a few days before my loan due date I get an URGENT message from Antoinette who needs to speak to me immediately about my loan. I had to call twice to get through and finally connected with Antoinette - some surly, illiterate sow who had the manners of a rabid pit bull and the vocabulary of a four year old. I told her I said, "I wasn't extending the loan, and that the phone calls were ridiculous." She said - and this is a quote - "Fine den, dat money gonna be TOOKEN out of yo account on Fwi-day." Tooken? Is that English? I told her I was aware of that, and she hung up the phone in my ear. Easy enough loan process, harassing phone calls and crappy customer service. I think I should have TOOKEN my business elsewhere.

I went into Ace Cash Express on Triskett Rd in Cleveland on Saturday to obtain a payday loan, as I sometimes need to do when my child support is late. The rep there, Bonna, asked me how much I wanted to borrow. I told her that it all depended on when the loan would be due, as I get paid from my job on Thursday (if a loan is paid during a certain period of time, no interest would be required). She told me that - if I paid the loan by Thursday, I wouldn't have to pay any interest. I then told her, in that case, I would borrow $200. Bonna proceeded to complete the paperwork for the loan.
After I was approved for the $200 and I signed all of the loan documents, Bonna then said to me, "Oh, you'll have to pay it back by Wednesday, not Thursday". I asked her how much I would have to pay in interest and she stated $47. I told her (since the initial information was WRONG), that I then only wanted to borrow $100 (because I certainly don't want to pay $47 for such a short period of time). She then snapped, "Now I'm gonna have to do all this paperwork over again!" I told her, "Well, YOU gave me the wrong information about WHEN it would be due!" She then said, "Well, I thought you would already KNOW since you come in all the time!" So, because I come in all of the time gives Bonna an excuse to assume that the consumer should know more than SHE SHOULD??
So, after Bonna huffed and puffed and proceeded to process the $100 loan, she said to me, "You were denied". I said, "What do you mean that I was 'denied' when I was JUST approved for a $200 loan?" She said, "The computer denied you". This was all due to Bonna's error and her need to cancel the first request. So, I had no choice but to leave with no loan - all because Bonna can't do her job correctly. She provided the wrong information, then appeared to be totally CLUELESS when the 'computer' denied it. I was able to go to Advance America down the street and left with my loan. The staff at Advance America was professional and courteous. Please, don't waste your time at Ace Cash Express!!!

I received an e-mail dated 9/2/16 stating that a lawsuit was being filed against me for an unpaid loan of $740.00. When I requested that Michael ** produce the original signature document, he evaded my request. He continued to state that if it wasn't resolve in 48 hours that they would file with the FTC, FBI, ICS and my employer. I don't recall creating this debt and only wanted to verify that it was indeed created by myself. Because of his unwillingness to provide this requested information I suspect this to be a bogus request. True I did have several payday loans which were part of a bankruptcy in 2012 and I am not going to pay for something that was part of that case. Because of these actions I find this business practice to be unreasonable and troublesome.

I've gone through Ace Cash twice, and both of those circumstances were emergencies. I do the traditional installment loan (pay day loan) method, and I chose the option where they directly take out of my funds. I've also done the (Pay in store) method on my first installment loan. I'm reading a lot of comments how people have trouble with Ace cash, and I haven't. The simplistic way to make your experience easy, is just pay on time. Pay what you owe. You took out the cash, you signed the contract stating; you'd pay X amount which will be paid on X date for so many pay periods.
Regardless if you call them and ask for an extension on the pay date. You probably shouldn't have done the loan agreement in the first place, if you can't pay on the expected date. Don't get a pay day loan. If you pay in cash, always get a receipt and file it away. I can't believe how irresponsible some people can be when getting into these loans. Always leave a paper trail to cover your end just in-case like.
The interest rates are outrageous, and I finish paying off as early as possible if you can afford it. The second one I took out, I'm going through the whole term. I was hoping it'd boost my credit, but after reading on their website and privacy terms and agreement they don't report to the traditional credit bureaus apparently. Again, only get an installment loan if A) It's an Emergency and B) You know you'll make the payments on the expected date, and never take out more than you need!

I've been an Ace customer for years, always paid on time. Twice they debited my account for what I owed. The first because I regrettably relied on their reminder calls for my due date. The second was my last loan. I made payment arrangements to pay a portion on my next 4 pay dates. First due on July 1. It completely slipped my mind to be there in person with cash so they debited my account for the full amount. I was on vacation 6 hours from my home, did some shopping and Saturday my account was negative. I realize this was my mistake and I graciously asked them to please let me finish the payment arrangements and credit my account. I explained I've been a customer for years and that I was now stuck far from home with no way to pay my way home. I will have to miss work which will get me in quite a bit of trouble if not fired. No sympathy at all.
I was told the same thing by three different Ace employees, "You can reloan in 10 days, we do not have the capability to credit an account once we have debited an account". Entirely NOT true. I'm actually stuck away from home until I can reloan this Friday, so they can make more money from me! Terrible terrible business practices. I will be sending a complaint to the Better Business Bureau as well. There are other pay day loan companies. They will get my business in the future. And I will be sure to post my predicament on Facebook and warn everyone I can. The only reason they get 1 star is for being decent to work with up until this point.

I chose to take out a payday loan from Ace Cash Express located in Speedway, Indiana back on May 3, 2016. The loan amount was $280 and I was to pay back $321.40 on May 28, 2016. On Saturday May 28, 2016, I went to the store IN PERSON, WITH CASH that was exactly equal to $321.40. I handed the cashier, Kristi, 15 twenty dollar bills, a single one dollar bill, a quarter, a dime, and a nickel. We both chuckled about my having brand new twenties, and both Kristi and myself had a difficult time counting the money as the bills were sticking together. Kristi counted out the money in front of me, agreed that it was the full amount, and asked if I wanted a receipt. I was in a hurry, and asked her if there would be any question as to whether or not I paid. She indicated that there would not be and stated that it wasn't necessary that I took a receipt. I told her that was fine and to have a great day and I was on my way.
I went back to this same location today (Tuesday May 31, 2016) to take out another payday loan. There was a different lady helping me, but I saw that Kristi was present. The lady that was helping me seemed confused and informed me that my loan that was due on May 28, 2016 was still outstanding and had not been paid back. I then informed her that she was terribly incorrect as I had just been in the store three days prior and paid the loan in full. I have taken out several payday loans from this store and have always paid them back on time as promised.
Kristi then chimed in stating that I called on Saturday saying that I would be out of town until June 2, and that I would be in to pay at that time. I told her that that was incorrect, that I remembered dealing with her and she even indicated that she remembered me coming into the store! They proceeded to scramble searching for some sort of receipt/documentation from my transaction but were unable to find anything.
I find this incredibly irresponsible, unacceptable, and I simply cannot wrap my mind around this. I handed this woman $321.40 that has now vanished into thin air? I find it very strange that this Kristi was so adamant that I placed a call indicating that I would be out of town until June 2 (funny because it's May 31st and here I am! In Indianapolis - NOT out of town) but then proceeded to change her story and say that she remembered me. Who in their right mind would walk into a payday loan store three days after a loan outstanding was due, and try to obtain more money from them? I PAID THEM BACK IN CASH, IN FULL, IN PERSON as I was instructed to. What Kristi did with my money after the fact is on her.
Someone needs to pull videos, look at camera footage, SOMETHING. I walked into the store around 12:30 PM on Saturday May 28, 2016 wearing a blue shirt and black pants and I PAID THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE DOLLARS AND FORTY CENTS TO THIS WOMAN. This situation needs to be rectified IMMEDIATELY. This is a place that I have done business with several times and thought I could trust their employees. I clearly thought very wrong!

When I'm signaled over the lady says absolutely nothing to me, doesn't look me in my eye or anything. She didn't bother with greeting me. She had this body language as if to imply I'm bothering her at work type of attitude. That's not my issue at all but it is extremely rude.
My issue is 15 minutes into doing whatever it was she was doing she blurted out "phone number on the back & right thumb on the front". I did that no problem, 10 more minutes after that she going back & forth between two machines helping other people she comes back & tell me "I need to speak with the person who wrote the check before I can cash it." That's the part that I have a major issue with. Regardless if the person who wrote the check is available to pick up the phone (something I would have no control over) that should not stop a check being cashed. I pretty much wasted 30 minutes of my time & the person who gave me a ride. She was all ready to cash it, but then said I need to speak to the person & I couldn't get the person on the phone pretty much on her demand.
I guess the lady thought that everyone operates on her schedule & should be available that day at that particular time to pick up the phone so they can verify who they are for a person trying to cash a check that's in their name & has all the proper identification there would be needed to cash a check that's written to them. I guess she thought that when I decided to pick a day to cash a check the person who wrote it would magically know & be waiting by the phone. So 35 minutes or so sitting in the place & I get nothing for sure except for horrendous customer service. I go to a place called "Ace Check Cashing" to cash a check & the irony is I couldn't cash a personal check because the lady helping me wanted to have a conversation over the phone with the person who wrote the check.

Not even the same state, and they've never been here. The "lady" on the phone (and she does not deserve to be called one) insisted that they received our home phone number as a "personal reference from ** (the name of who they were looking for)".
Well, beyond all the other obvious lies I was told, that relative does not have our home phone number. So this liar did not get it from them, but rather has access to some kind of database or made calls to various phone companies (at least two, if I'm right in why they're connecting our name to theirs) and told them lies to obtain information. Obviously, they still don't care what the FDCPA says. Maybe rather than a paltry 10 million dollar judgment, it should have been 10 billion.

IF I have ever had a loan with ACE Cash Express, it would have had to have been 10 years ago or more as I do not use banks anymore. Interesting how much you can save without banking fees and overdraft charges. Anyway, about once a month, I get an email from ACE threatening that charges will be filed against me if payment is not made "today." It has a letterhead to make you think it is a legitimate legal form -- yet is never served by certified mail or a process server -- just through email. Even if I did owe the amount stated, I would hesitate to send it to them because the grammar used tells me that this is not a professional attorney's office -- more likely coming from another country.
For example, one line reads: If you do not take immediate action we will be forced to download this case against you and once it is downloaded the creditor has entire rights to inform your employer regarding this and if you are found guilty under the bench of jury then you have to bear a lawsuit which will be a penalty of $4515.85 and your bank account will be closed. It will be totally levied upon you and that would be excluding your bail charges, your attorney charges and the due amount pending on your name $1207.86.
The long run-on sentence and poor punctuation leads me to believe that this is not from an actual attorney. In addition, it is signed simply "United States Attorney" with no name or contact phone number. In all of my years dealing with attorney correspondence, every attorney takes every opportunity to put their name and phone number on mail that they send out. I believe this to be a scam.

Got a email saying I was approved for a $8000. I talked to John ** from Dallas, TX. Phone numbers he called me by were ** and **. He called and told me I was ready to get my money, just sign the online papers to finalize it. I signed the papers I needed to sign and sent them back to him. He called me back on a Friday, asked me to go buy a Green Dot card, put $360 on it to verification I could make the payments. Then he took my information for my bank to direct deposit it my checking account. Well it was late on Friday so I asked him to do it Monday morning so I knew it would be in there before my bank closed on Monday. Monday come around, it wasn't deposited. So I called him, he did. I had to pay a insurance for $575 and put it on a Green Dot card again because I had bad credit. Which I did cause I do. Then he told me that he couldn't put it in my account, got some reason. So we went Moneygram and I had to pay more money.
Next day he said that there was some red flags and we couldn't go that way either. So he said to pay more money for Western Union. I paid the money for the Western Union and he sent me a MTCN which was too many numbers. Then he sent me another one which was not a good one at all. As I'm talking to him about the numbers not being valid I get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and my money was on hold till I paid the IRS over a $1000. Which I don't the IRS. So I talk to John again, he said I can't, that I had to settle the IRS thing. I told him I don't have a problem with them. So I told him I wanted to cancel my loan and to send me a certified check of my money I paid in. He told me that I had to pay either $350 to get my money or $450 to get my money plus the loan. I told him I wasn't paying another dime since he already took me for over $2000.
A week later he called me back giving me a sad story about him losing his job if I didn't finalize the loan since it was still open. So he tried to deal with me and offered to pay $250 himself and I pay $250. Then when he gets his next check he would send my $250 back to me. But I would get a check for almost $1200. I didn't send the money and haven't heard from him since about it. So now I'm out over $2000 and behind on my bills because he guaranteed me loan plus the money I paid in to get the loan.

Not only made a payment 2 days before I said I would but gave more than I said. Only to have 3 more collectors call me.

I was approved for the amount they estimated I could borrow and we able to borrow the max amount the FIRST time I went. They aren't very apt on extensions though.

I got approved for $3000.00. My loan officer name is Mack ** phone number is ** from Dallas, Texas. Anyways he told me that I needed to show him 275.00 for my payment that will be taken out to pay for the loan. So he told me to go to a CVS store and to pick up a visa dot green card. And he told me to put $275 on the card. He later then told me that I needed to pay $365.00 for another visa dot green card, for an insurance installment fee to process my credit score. He told me that the loan will be transferred into my checking account will be $3640.00. He later then told me that the money would be in my account within 30-45 min to an hour, when I noticed that it wasn't in my account. I gave a call back to him and he told me that the money couldn't be transferred because they don't transfer to Hawaii. The only way he told me to get this money I would have to pay $252.00 for the fee, to do a money gram or through Western union.
I later then told him I didn't have the money, so this dated for 7-10-2015 through 7-12-2015. On 7-28-2015 I called him to cancel my loan but he reinstated that I don't cancel because I will lose my money. So he told me to buy a $300.00 visa dot green card to pay for my fee to get the transfer of $3640.00 wired into my account, that same day within 30-45 min. I asked him if I needed to do a moneygram or western union he told me "No". And that it will be transferred into my account and promised me that it was the last time to dish out any money.
After I noticed that it didn't go through in my account I called him back and said what's happening, so he lied to me and said I needed to pay another fee of $250.00 for the money gram and western union. He told me that the money gram people will call me back within 10-15 min for reference number. I didn't receive a phone call from them, so I called Mack back and he told me that "They didn't call you back?" And I said "No". So he told me to hold on for about 10 min and later told me that I needed to buy another visa dot green card for $220.00. And I told him why would I have to pay that amount for. He told me that I needed to open an account with them. I got upset and told him that's a lot of money that I have to pay. So he told me that would be the last time I have to do it.

On July 10, 2015, Ace stated that they could not accept paystub because it was not a "pdf" document, but it was. On July 11, 2015, Ace sent me an email stating that I had 30 days from July 11, 2015 to accept the loan for $3400.00. On July 15, 2015, I sent Ace an email stating that I was accepting the loan for $3400.00, but every time I attempted to provide Ace documents, they rejected them for no reason.
On July 15, 2015, an hour after I sent Ace the email stating that I would accept the loan for $3400.00, I was advised by Ace in a reply email that my loan had "expired" and was withdrawn on July 10, 2015, and that I needed to reapply. On July 15, 2015, after I received the email from Ace stating that my loan for $3400.00 had expired and was withdrawn on July 10, 2015, I faxed Ace a letter with all the emails indicating they were incorrect and that I wanted them to fund my loan based on the approval on July 8, 2015 and the email of July 11, 2015, stating I had 30 days to accept my loan for $3400.00.
I did not hear back from Ace, so on July 16, 2015, I reapplied for a loan with Ace and they denied my application for "insufficient credit experience" which is false, because I have a mortgage loan, 2 car loans, a few visa and mastercard credit cards that have never been late, and they had already approved my loan on July 8, 2015 for $3400.00 without any excuses whatsoever. Ace reneged on my loan that they had approved on July 8, 2015 without any valid reasons. Ace Cash Express is a fraud and bad news, and I am going to report them to the proper authorities with all my emails that show that they had approved me for a loan in the amount of $3400.00, then backed out for no valid reason, and then denied me when I tried to reapply again, per their instructions.

On Friday I filled out a form online. After reading an email the form said something about "immediate cash". I had previously been approved for 1900 months ago so I didn't think I had to go through hoops again (I decided it was too expensive to pay back 900 a month. So I never took that loan). Anyway I clicked their email link from a solicitation and applied for enough to get us by 200 and was approved online for 200. Then they embarrassingly make me do a 3 way call to my bank. Ok fine. Anyway they approved me and the rep said within 48 hours I should have it or go to the store now. I was going to go to a CE store Friday but after hanging up got this explicit text promising 24 to 48 hours...
ACE Cash: “Congrats! Your loan is approved. You may pick up cash today at an ACE store or your funds will be deposited in 24-48 hrs. Text QUIT to stop texts.” So payday is Tuesday and we needed money Sunday as I only had $1.14 in my bank but figured 48 hour wait we could survive till Sunday night... I was especially needing it Monday for gas and groceries. Sunday came and went and I looked online to see what the issue was and found someone saying on web it might be Monday at midnight due to the weekend... now I am worried.
Monday morning I can't sleep from worry. Got up at 3am and am so worried it’s not there yet. Then at 5am I call. The first rep says it was sent to my bank. I thank them and hang up and call Wells. They say nope. I call back and a new rep says it will be between 12 midnight on Monday to noon... So I have to go to work so I put 1.5 gallons of old lawnmower gas in my car. Noon passes. No money. 2pm I call and a new rep says hours of business days so might be tomorrow. I ask to speak to Supervisor. They conference in bank who says “nope.”
He says it’s in my contract but I have the 24/48 hour text and verbal said same when rep verified bank and congratulated me. Supervisor did not care. Just offered a complaint line. I begged for change at work to put 80 cents of gas in car (very embarrassing) and the gauge it went below empty as I drove the 28 miles home scared to death and no air condition in 100+ heat index to help me make it less work on engine. This is very deceitful to get a text like that. I am embarrassed and feel taken advantage of because if they just told me truth I would have need able to plan things better and picked it up at a store or another option on Friday.

After standing in line behind one person for over 15 minutes or more, I presented my payroll check to be cashed on a Saturday just before 4:00 pm. The first question I was asked was, "Why did you wait so late?" which I thought was odd -- the reason was because my check was delivered by mail at about 3:30 pm -- but what the heck, it's not like they were closing soon.
I have cashed several checks there before, issued by the same company I work for, and sometimes need access to the money after banking hours, and that is what is great about cash checking places. The person behind the counter make me go through all the stuff, signing the back of the check of course, and putting my thumbprint on the check. After much talk back and forth, about her needing to call someone at the company to verify the check is good -- which the only option I had was to call the manager on her day off to verify this. Since I could not get her number from 411 she said she could not cash it. I could see on the computer screen the long list of previous checks I have cashed there and just can't understand why this one is such a problem. It was even less than others.
So here is the worst part. I requested my check and Drivers License back and she REFUSED! She said she had to get permission to give it back to me. If I had not forgotten my phone I may have called the police at that point because now I was really stuck because she wouldn't cash or give it back. This took an hour! She did finally give the check back to me, but would not give me the copies of my ID or checks back that she made -- which, since we didn't do business, I believe Ace has no right to have those records.
The thing is, this was the second time I had such problems and had to go down the street to Amscot who charges more, but are very efficient and give Tootsie Rolls while we wait. Other times where I did successfully get a check cashed, it always takes sooooo long for them to make calls to get an "RA" number from someone on the phone if it is over that particular employee's limit of what they can decide to cash themselves.
I have a person I sometimes pay by check to help me with work. He uses Ace check cashing and they ALWAYS approve my checks. I write to him and tell him they never have a problem with me. It's nice. They will cash a check I write -- but they won't cash a check I earned. There was also a lady at the next window having the same problem and I overheard that the amount of her check was less than $500.00.
If you want a check cashed and don't feel like hanging around a small building with just two folding chairs for anyone waiting -- don't go to the Ace on Ridgewood Ave. in Daytona Beach, FL. Amscot is just up ISP at Nova. I am sad to have to write this because there is a ** that works there that can seem to get checks cashed. If she is not there, forget it. Don't they make money cashing checks? How can they be so inconsistent? I'm just so angry.

I was contacted by email in regard to a loan I owed for. I asked for verification but all they did was threaten with arrest. As I was scared and felt I had no choice I made arrangements to pay. Had to pay by MoneyGram at Wal-Mart. I had to contact them while at the store to get account information. When payment was processed I had to immediately call them with reference number.
After two payments they said the debt was accepted that I only owed "out of court" and "no due certificate" fees of $344. I made arrangements to pay those in two payments. I continued to be harassed and threatened if this was not paid. I was unable to make the payments and upon requesting further information and confirmation of any of this as well as more information in person who had been contacting me I told them I was going to contact FTC and BB, was told not to contact him again!
I did get a very unprofessionally written email from attorney ** telling me the warrant would be issued. I asked for his state bar number and proof as well but did not receive anything either! This week I got an email from someone totally different in regard to this. I once again asked for proof. So far, nothing. I have contacted both FTC and BB.

I have an ace elite card. I purchased this card with the promise that I would receive my direct deposit 2 days early. Ace has consistently failed to keep this promise which resulted in me having to pay late fees to my debtors totaling $50 or more each time ace elite fails to keep their 2 day promise to pay. When I address this issue to ace elite as well as MetaBank, I get an "oh well" type of response from both companies. I recommend to all ace elite card holders, if you are serious about paying your bills, by all means avoid purchasing an ace elite card and go to a real bank or credit union. By the way, you will also be charged a $9.00 fee each payday to withdraw YOUR MONEY from these people. This is on top of whatever late fees you may incur due to ace and MetaBank paying you late.

If you are not a senior and/or disabled, simply copy and paste the email with address and fill out the "Internet Crimes Complaint" section of FBI.Gov.
Let Ace Cash Express (or whomever is pretending to be them) see a copy of your email to ADA or the FBI and let them know you would like to persecute to the fullest extent (federal criminal charge) and request an investigation.

In retrospect, walking into an empty room should have been all the forewarning of events to come. The only employee, a "Manager", asked me how she could help me in a fake "pleasant" voice. Mind you, I had phoned earlier to ensure that Ace could cash my $150 check written to me for a small job I did for a multi-million dollar company. I just wanted some cash in my pocket for the weekend, as my online bank doesn't release funds until 24 hours after deposit, and the company's issuing bank was a 90 min bus ride.
After filling out a yellow card that included supplying two references, I was told that because the phone number wasn't answered by a person and went to voicemail that my check could not be cashed. "Can't you verify funds with the company's bank?" I asked. I was told no and that's when the attitude started. She called her regional manager and informed them that I was being a "difficult customer". Keep in mind 10 min has gone by already. After insuring I had my check and ID in hand, I sarcastically said I would let her get back to "all her customer anxiously awaiting the same glorious customer service".
In a false and saccharine voice she said "Good luck cashing your check" and for me to have a "blessed day" then murmured something about being a white ** under her breath, somehow believing the glass separating us was a cone of silence. I told her she was not sincere in her blessed sentiment and then she said she could have me "thrown out of here in three seconds".

My husband borrowed ~$200 a year and a half ago at the beginning of his downward spiral into drug addiction. After several letters and phone calls from ACE Cash Express's collection department, I called them asking them to no longer call my number. I explained to them that my husband had not only lost his job two months after borrowing money from them, but had lost everything and was a homeless drug addict. I researched my rights before this and told them I knew my rights - I was not financially responsible for a debt my husband signed alone & that I never saw a penny of the money. They said they would remove my number from their call list. Over the last year, I have received many calls which I never answer from a collector threatening lawsuits and criminal action over this debt. And have heard from my husband's cousin, she got a call a year ago from someone claiming my husband was being tracked down for identity theft and fraud.
It wasn't until last week when this collection agency started calling my parents claiming the same that I returned their calls on 1/7/2015 demanding they to stop calling & spreading lies about my husband to family. This collector flat out said he will not stop calling until the debt was paid & tried everything to scare me into paying them $510.22 or I would be responsible for thousands when they take my husband & I to court, charging us with malicious intent to defraud and several other charges. I was shocked because I knew my rights yet this collector who claims to be Robert ** from D & S & Associates 1 (844) 259-8344 yelled, threatened, and lied, trying to scare me into paying. I told him I would be contacting my lawyer which only caused him to threaten me more & hang up on me. I called back asking for their information to give to my lawyer and they refuse to send us any information or give their mailing address, saying "Our process server will be there in the next day or two with the information", which hasn't happened by the way. My lawyer said this company broke several laws giving out personal information of my husband to people, making threats, and refusing to remove our numbers, all violated the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practice Act.
My lawyer advised me to send them a letter formally requesting for them to desist all phone calls to my family. I called ACE Cash Express on 1/7/2015, got their collection departments number 1(888)753-2355. I spoke to a manager, Tracy, asking for the address of the collector they sold my husband's debt to so I could take action against this company for harassment. I was told this was personal information and they could only give this information to my husband. I told her my lawyer said by law, collectors have to give their information like address and her refusal to give me this information was not acceptable, considering they gave my number to this collection agency who is refusing to stop harassing me. I was told her manager had already left for the day and was sent to her manager, Adrean ** (ext. **) to leave a message. After two days, I still have not received a response from ACE Cash Express. I have tried to find information on the collection agency harassing me, but can not find any information on them. My lawyer says they probably gave me false information about their company name, so that I cannot go after them for harassment.
I will continue calling ACE Cash Express until they give me the information. If the threatening calls do not stop over a $200 debt that is not mine, I will be more than glad to spend thousands to hold ACE Cash Express and the collection agency they are protecting accountable to the law. My husband owes over $20,000 in debt to varying companies and I have never been treated with such deplorable unlawful behavior!!!

As an aside, if you get a call or other contact, informing you that you're approved but have to get the Money Pak for the transfer fee or whatever, then you're the victim of a well-operated scam.

On 11/25 I Angela called Ace to have my card ending in ** block because I notice it was missing. The rep on the phone would not block the card because she claim I was not on the account. Well I have made changes to this account since early 2000. So I hung up and tried to go online and block it, then a unauthorized transaction from U-HAUL for 531.29 was taken from my account. This would not have happen if the rep would have block the card. So I called back and got another rep. I demand to talk to a manager. I got the runaround, then they put me on hold for over 45 min. Then I got a James manager online explaining to me I have to call the merchant and have them cancel the pending transaction.
I explain to him No merchant cancels a transaction. I told him that since it was pending or posted he still should be able to credit my account. Other banks have done it. So I told him I will call U-HAUL and ask them to cancel the transaction. I knew this was wasting my time calling these people. Then James gave me his extension to call him back since we discuss the account in detailed. I called U-HAUL and spoke to a Melody ** I think, she also lied like Ace and said that per their policy they could not cancel the transaction. All lies. Then she hung up on me.
So I called Ace back and got another rep telling me he can't transfer the call to James extension because they can't do that. So why did James the supervisor lied to me and gave me his extension. More lies. Then this rep put me on hold after I discuss the issue again. I was on hold for almost an hour. Then I got another supervisor, her name started with a M. I explain to her that other banks credit the account then investigate. She lied and claim ACE could not do that. I told her yes, if it is pending or posted the bank can credit it back to my account. So she credit the 531.29 back to my account. So we ended the call.
Then on 11/26 that night I was at Target and notice there was a transaction out of my account of 431 and some change from U-HAUL again. I could not believe we were broke.
