Advance America Cash Advance Reviews

I got a email from advance America cash advance so I called the number. Only needed a small 200 dollar loan to last till my next paycheck. They told me I qualify for a loan is up to $20,000. I told them I only need a $200 loan to last me until I got paid. The man said don't you want 2000 to 20,000. I then said what's the rate and payment on 2000. He told me, so I said ok we can do that. He then said he needed to check my checking account to see if I had 100 dollars. I only had 80 dollars in there. He then said can't you borrow 20 dollars from someone. I told him to forget and hung up on him. So he called me back 20 times in 15 mins. I told him he was a scam and needs to quit taking people's hard earn money and to get a real job. So he called me several bad names but I don't care. He at least didn't get my money.

I have just been scammed by this people for 900.00 dollars through the use of the green dot money pack card. Had to purchase it at CVS or Walgreens to pay for verification of payment and insurance and finally State taxes. All in all I didn't receive the money for the loan amount promised. I too now have no money to pay rent and hopefully these guys can be stopped!! Now here's the twist. The jerks are calling me back saying they located my money from these spammers and they are working for the United States government and if I want my money back!!! Of course they want $275.00. I told him to go get bent and hung up!! So pissed.

I got an email and a call from a Mr. ** telling me I qualified for a $5000 loan then asked to buy a green.payback for $145 because of insurance for the loan. Logged back in to check my funds and sure enough no money. I called back and he then tells me I need to make my first month's payment which was $305, and had to buy another green.payback which gave me the red flag. And he stills keeps calling me.

Let me first off just say that I was not in dying need of the money, but since I got scammed by this company, now I am. I recently put in an application for an installment loan & the next day, I got an email from a guy named Mark ** saying he was with Advance America. I called the number ** which was provided on the email as soon as I got paid on Friday. He told me that in order to get the loan, I had to prove that I had the monthly installment fee of $143. I went to Home Depot like he said and got the REloadit card he asked for. I sat on hold for about 15 minutes for him to come back and say that my funds will be in my acct in 30 minutes and I will have access to them.

Was contacted that I was approved for a loan. Was told that I needed a GreenDot Money pack for $200 to verify I could pay the money back in monthly payments. I told them I only had $170 and they said that would work. I got the card, and called them back. They had me read the number assuring me they would not touch the money but just verifying I had the money. Then he said everything was ok and he would call me back to let me know the funds were being transferred to my account. He called me back and said the $170 was not on the GreenDot card and that sometimes the sales clerk makes an error or the card malfunctions. Then he said I needed to go and get another card. I told him crying that I put the money on the card, and he was the only one who I gave the number to. He said he didn't take the money and the card was malfunctioning again asking me to go get another card. So I am now out the money and did not get the loan I really needed.

Received an email with loan documents using another company's logo. I inquired because I have been receiving Scam calls at my office from another company that won't reveal their name. When I called to inquire I asked appropriate questions such as prepayment penalty adding to my principal etc, then stated I was in the finance industry which sparked a transfer to a 'supervisor' who asked what were my questions. I asked for web address ad he was vague and I get trying on my laptop as he fumbled. He then stated he would have to call me back at a later date within the week to let me know a loan I was qualified for, even though I received this letter stating what I was qualified for. They never asked SSN (which I would have to have provided) not an address work info, nothing. SCAM, SCAM. When I asked where they were located, they state NY. I can not find them attached to the # in NY. The ph number is 334-434-3390.

Told me the whole Green Dot scam for 140.00, then was told money wouldn't go thru. I have a branch near me in Milwaukee, Wi and thought it was ok. I had all my info entered on my computer and as I read him the numbers I hit enter to put the money on my own Green Dot card and the ** still got it. Apparently it takes 15 minutes to go thru Green Dot, so lo and behold I thought I'd call the FBI for scamming and internet fraud and am still in contact with the local office. Maybe if we all begin to bother the FBI something can come of it. Maybe I'll just go on vacation to Florida and find a few things out. Loan officer's name was David **.

I was behind bills so I went online and trying to get a loan. The next day this number call me and told me that they are from Cash Advance America (786-600-1146). His name is Derek ** and he got a really heavy accent (Indian, Hindu or Middle East). He told me I got approved from 1000 to 10000 and ask me how much do I want. I told him I need 4000 to pay off my debts then he said NO PROBLEM. Next thing he ask me to get a GREENDOT MONEYPAK for $350 to show them my ability for my first payment. I went and bought it at Walmart, scratch out the back and gave him the pin. After that he told me that they need 699 to pay for their STATE TAXES. I don't have any money left but I called my boss and he lend me 400, my co-worker lend me 300 and I bought ANOTHER MONEYPAK for 699, scratch the back and gave him the pin also.

A caller with a very thick Indian accent from a call center in Santa Barbara, CA (805-308-0293) representing themselves as from Advance America called my number twice, asking for "Derek". When I advised him that, as I informed him the first time he called, there was no Derek at this number (we have had this phone# 5 months). He then proceeded to obviously cup the phone and call me a "**" and "** sucker" over and over until I hung up.

Signed the application for a loan. Was directed to an approval for loan e-sign for the loan. Gave information and then was directed to a site where I was then told that I would have to pay $24.95 per month for account protection. Was not given option to not have the fee directly pulled from my account. Then after filling all this crap out, it simply directed me to lenders that I would have to fill more applications for lenders that may or may not provide a loan.

I was in need of a personal loan and filled out an application online. I had numerous calls. I was recently scammed by someone pertaining to a job. Therefore I tried to be more careful. I received a call from AACA and he said his name was Andy **, this was the phone number that showed up 845-445-4952. He offered a personal loan. I asked for paperwork. He sent me the loan agreement. I questioned the wire fee. He gave an explanation. Bottom line, I ended up getting a Green Dot Pak card and stealing my $194.00. I don't know how he had my Bank's name show up on my caller ID and had someone pretend they were from the bank and say that someone was trying to wire money to my account but since they were out of New York, they had to use a different routing number. Andy was called back and he said that he could not change any of my information. He said I would get $100 in 30 days in the mail. He would keep the rest for processing fees. Needless to say when I tried calling back the answering service was on saying they are helping other customers.

I want to first off say thanks to everyone that has posted on here about these people and sorry if you got scammed. I was in need of some money and needed help. So I applied for a loan online and this company called me saying "we see you applied for a loan, we can help, we can get you 10,000 dollar put in your account in 30 mins." Then as we are getting into loan this Brian guy tell me I will need to pay 575 first before they send the money and you can't pay it with your bank card, you have to go to a walmart and get a green dot card or any 7 11 store. So I hang up and over three day period kept on getting call from them so I answer the phone because I really need money but I told them send the money first and then I will pay what I'm supposed to and he said "we can't do that you have to pay your state taxes first," and he said "to insure you I will send a copy of your loan papers" and I said "ok but I want to look up reviews on y'all first and I will call you back" and I just so happen to see everything this loan company told me. Everybody said it on here - the same thing - they are a scam and are hurting people and I hope someone stops them. Thanks for reading and hope people read this so they don't get scammed.

I am in a desperate situation working to provide for a family of five with a husband fighting ss to get disability and all of a sudden after struggling just to get a payday advance I receive a call saying I am approved for a $5000.00 loan at 10% interest for 3 years. I am in heaven but I have to pay for the wire transfer of $175.00. I know I was one of those people that used to say what was she thinking but you don't know how desperate I am. So no money comes and then I find a mistyped routing number and the loan office refused to correct it and wire the money correctly. He said if i pay another $193.00 to have it wire transferred through Western Union I can still have the loan.

Locked out at 1:37 pm, no sign when or why they were closed. After ringing the bell, an employee stated she was on lunch and unable to do business for 10-15 minutes later. Consequently, I was unable to make my 4 pm deposit at my bank and I was late picking up my daughter, where she got written up (4 pm).

I received a call from Mark Rothman law firm stating that Advanced America Cash Advance was suing me for $5847. They said I borrowed $300.00 in 2011 and failed to repay it. The man I spoke to (Wayne **) had such a heavy (Indian, Hindu?) I could not understand him. I do know that he was threatening me. He gave me several choices to clear the matter, but again, I could not understand him. I did not borrow this money and don't understand how they got all my personal info. I don't know what to do.

I have already sent you a complaint on this company. I received an e-mail from you saying that your team determined it did not meet their guidelines for publishing. It shows that it is on hold and waiting for review history. Today I received a call from the law firm they said they were calling from. Mark Rothman and Associates. It was Mark Rothman and he said that he was returning my call I left them. He said that they are a scam and they do not work with Advance Cash America. He also said that They are a SCAM and for us to report them to our local police dept. and our attorney general. He said that they have been getting a lot of call like mine about this Company.

I have been a customer of AA for a couple of years, always made my payments on time. On my last loan I entered into an EPP. Made the first three payments, but on the fourth I had written the due date down wrong. It was due on the 12th of August, and I thought it was due on the 15th. So AA sent my original check in for $287.50, when I only owed them $64.00 I have overdraw protection, so my bank made good on the check, but charged me $33.00 for NSF. I would like to know if this is legal? Why are they allowed to deduct more from my bank than what I owe them.

They changed the old manager almost one year ago, and the new manager has bad customer service. He never attends to the customer. I was present when somebody said "I have a question", and he answered always that "I am very busy. I don't have time for stupid questions." And not just one time but always. When he was a regular employee, he was nice and cooperative with the customer, but now he is stupid.

I have been a customer with Advance America since Nov. 2012 with no problems. And I only get paid once a month, which is the last day of the month. But when I renewed my payday loan on March 29, 2013, the clerk (who was talking on a cell phone) had me returning April 12 instead of April 29. I didn't notice this mistake until April 8. I contacted Advance America to inform them of this mistake, but the clerk who has done my loan wasn't there. But the girl took my message. On April 9th, I went to Advance America and the clerk who has done my loan was there and informed me that it was taken care of, and my payment wasn't due until April 30.

I had a check return that did not clear. They had told me that I could make this check good over 4 payments - one per pay period. They redeposited the entire check today without my knowledge. I have always gone on the Friday after my payday to make the payment. I had never been told differently. When I first called about the account being posted - newest employee lied and stated that the manager was out of office. I called a secondary number and the manager was in the office. She was very rude to me as I explained that I was planning on being there today. Little did I know she had redeposited the check already. I appreciated them helping when I needed help but then I will not promote their business nor will I use it again. Customer service has always been poor and almost deceitful at this branch.

to Advance America. He claimed that I was going to have a warrant issued for my arrest on March 28, 2012, case file #**. He stated that if I didn't pay him the $457.00 that day or at least half and the rest would be due at the end of the month. He also stated that a judge would sign a warrant the day after that and that would cost me $300.00 more. He stated that I would be arrested that same day and that my driver's license would be taken away. This is way past the statue of limits.

I have a $120 payday loan with Advance America in Georgetown, Delaware and I was due to make an interest payment of $20 or pay the loan off for $120. I didn't have a new check to write on my Jan 27, 2012 visit but I had my extension payment of $20. The Georgetown office would not take payment without a new check. I ordered new checks through my bank but they have not come yet. I made the office aware before hand when I saw that there was a possibility that they weren't going to be here.

I received a phone call today from someone claiming to be from a collection agency. I could not understand the man I was talking to due to a very thick accent and could not understand his named or the name of the collection agency he was calling from. The phone number is **. After letting him know I had never applied for an online loan with Cash Advance America, he argued with me and wanted me to give him my Social Security Number and e-mail address. When I informed him I do not give that information over the phone, he hung up on me.

When I tried to call the number back it kept going to voicemail.

I have received pay day loans at Advance America. Advance til payday and a friend in need cash an advance. What about members who were getting screwed with interest fee before 2003?

I was unable too pay a loan back in full, but made the effort by sending 30 to 40 dollars in money orders each time I pay. They mailed me the money orders back. I thought you were not supposed to deny someone of payment if they're making an attempt to pay in any kind of loan?

"Ronnie" called to tell me he was an attorney, representing Cash Advance America. He told me his client includes various advance payday companies. He wanted me to send him $1,200 today to clear up my account or else the sheriff would come pick me up on October 10, 2011; my social security card will be revoked; or my social security benefits will be terminated

I was unable too pay them back on a $460.00 loan, so I said the right thing to do is try to send what I can afford to pay off balance. I went out and got a money order for $30 to start trying to pay something on this balance. Well, they sent the money order back and would not take the payment.

On the website, there were two options to choose from for a payday cash advance. I noticed that one of the options was to do the advance online. So, I applied. And then at the end after giving my account routing information and checking account number, they redirected me to a walk in physical location. I thought the money was going to be deposited into my account. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given all that information online.

This company said I took out a loan, but I did not. Then they had this LLC law office company call me, talking about I owe all this money back. Now, I have to file an attorney info against them to get to the bottom of this.

This person, Rachel **, has contacted me on several occasions about a loan that they say I have taken out. They will not provide me with much information and stated that they are with Cash Advance of America or USA Cash Advance. They have threaten to fax papers to my job that would cause me to lose my job, as well as to have someone come to my place of employment to have papers served to me. She also stated that I would need to have my attorney to contact them.

I have been contacted and notified that I was charged too much interest on payday loans but I lost the contact letter. I don't know how to find out the rights I have.

I was called and severely harassed by the so-called LLC Law Firm. East Indian people called today basically yelling at me about a loan from Advance America, telling me that I am in trouble.

I received a payday loan from Advance America. I paid the loan down to the point where I owed $275.00. On November 19, 2010, the company took $400.00 (which was the original amount of the loan) from my checking account without any notification. I immediately contacted Advance America to inquire as to why they took more than what I owed them. They first attempted to say that I owed the $400.00. Then later in the conversation, the rep stated that they took $400.00 because that was the amount of my original check. So I asked when I could come in and receive my refund for $125.00. They told me that the check had to clear.

These stores are not working with consumers in a fair enough way to ensure that their loans are paid off and not just a continuos cycle. They are being ver difficult in working out a more reasonable way to help the consumer live normally and pay off their loans. When you ask the store clerks about other options they offer none, their only other option is to just just pay it off and worry later about the other living expenses you have later.

Advance America payday advances. A $400 loan will cost you $60 every 2 weeks. They will allow you to continually roll this loan over and keep charging you an additional $60. This can go on for months and close to a year.

They have called my job several times, after my District Manager has asked them repeatdly not to call me on my job. They have also brought threatning letters to my job as well, after being asked not to. I have agreed to make arrangements with them to pay off the debt, and they told me they would not take what I had offered them. I offered them one hundred dollars at first.

WEll I took out a check advance loan. And lost my job so I could not pay it on time and said that I would try to get up there the following week and they said fine. Well needless to say I didnt not make it up there that day so they started calling my refences, and one of them was my now ex boy friend who I am trying to stay far away from and they called him and told him everything. Why the were calling, what I didnt and didnt do.
