Predatory lending at its finest and should be shut down. Interest is applied daily to your loan making it impossible to pay it off. I will pay this loan back and never use this service again. DO NOT TAKE A LOAN OUT WITH ADVANCE FINANCIAL 24/7!

I received a pre-qualified offer for a loan in the main about a week ago. I applied online, and my credit account was locked to protect against identity theft. I tried to explain to the agent that he needed to manually process my application so that I could qualify for the loan. He refused. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and he became argumentative. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

I have now called three times to be removed for from their calling list and this last time, I also asked them to not sell my information and they hung up on me. I made the mistake of clicking on a social post or article (I don’t remember) and clearly I’m paying the price.

Get a loan and nothing ever goes towards principal. They prey on the poor and make it hard to pay off loans. It took me 3 years to pay a 3000.00 dollar loan and will never get a loan from them again.

The experience was good, until they stopped lending in Virginia. I began noticing that my balance was not going down and realized that I was paying over $50-60 a month and only $1 of this was going towards the balance due, with the rest going to interest. No one warned me of this and I attempted to communicate with them and was ignored, until waited on the phone for 20 minutes to discuss it. I was told "there was nothing they can do". I emailed and was given a canned message. Basically, since last year - they have been doing this. Be careful if you borrow from them and then your state is no longer on their list for credit.

I talk with Nicholas, Virgins, Tasha who claim to work out of corporate office. A mesha they all are **, very unprofessional and rude, talk over you. And messed up my loan, made me fill out app 3 times…. Did not resolve the situation, was very big headed and out of pocket. When I talk with the ** woman she did everything she could to help. When she transferred me I got some power trip ** people females.. They have too much of my personal info to disrespect me the way I was disrespected.. No one will tell me how to file a complaint on the corporate office where I spoke with a Tasha, very disrespectful and mesha made me hold for 7 minutes because she didn’t wanna give me any info to move forward. I gave them a zero and I need to find out what those people that work from home did with my personal info asap

I would not recommend going to Advance Financial or any other company under Harpeth Financial Services (owner of Advance Financial). I originally took out a FLEX Loan through them back in November of 2021 right before Covid-19 hit me the hardest and caused me to fall behind on many bills. When I got sick with Covid and tested positive for it in December right before Christmas I called and talked to them then about working with me and they agreed to do so which I thought was great, but then it slowly went down hill from there again as I had even more problems with my vehicle due to a shady mechanic screwing me over and taking my money and it made it difficult to get to work.
This time they seemed to not be so agreeable as they wanted me to pay what I couldn't afford for a few months as I tried to fix my vehicle so I could get to work. I told them in June this year I had no other alternative to get to work but they didn't care so I told them when I'd start to make payments again of at least $140 every 2 weeks wouldn't be until the end of October 2022. Then in September I received a summons from a Sherriff's department officer for a court date from a lawyer office that was also a debt collector. So I wouldn't get any loan from them at all if you can avoid it. They won't work with you when you fall on hard times and the APR is 279.50% which is not worth it at all. If you need extra money for whatever reason please find other means to get it that won't end up with you having to pay astronomically back.

I have had a loan with Advance Financial since March 2021. I have always made my payments on time. Yet, my balance increases and the payment never goes towards the principal. Over 1 year of payments and not one penny has gone towards the principal. I pay over $1000 per month for a $4000 loan and with each statement the balance increases. Even if it is a few dollars a statement, shouldn't a consumer see the balance decrease?

I think I purchased a money order from Advance Financial in May of 2022 from the first to the fifth for $579. I would have paid rent for it. I got a letter from my landlord stating rent wasn't paid for May. I went to advance financial to track the money order (I lost the receipt) and they refused. I always purchase money orders from them (June and April and numerous before) but they could not find May. They refused to cooperate. My lawyer wrote them a letter. I went back and they somewhat cooperated. They couldn't find one for May. I think they were irritated by the attorney's letter. I asked for a print out of this information and they refused. Read this and come to your own conclusion.

In a just a span of 3 months from the date that I borrowed, my interest is a total of $3360!! I PAID IT OFF in 3 months because it seems like nothing is being deducted to the principal amount after paying my first payment which is $600!! I borrowed $4000, I decided to pay it off within 3 months! I ended up paying a total of $7135!!!
