Advance Financial

Like you & many others, I went through Advance Financial for temporary help. It was a small loan that was overall harmless. My finances changed & I missed a payment. If you ever miss a payment, it's game over. You might as well close your bank account. In the loan agreement it states they can debit your account repeatedly to recover missed payments. "You authorize us to re-initiate any debit entry additional times for the same amount if the debit entry is dishonored." I missed just one payment. So, they started debiting my account repeatedly.

I don’t usually write reviews this negative but this place by far is the worst at customer service. I was asked to send in documents. I sent them all in. I was told I’ll receive a call back shortly regarding the loan. Nope. No call nor email. I been calling and emailing all night just to finally hear my loan was denied. Said they needed bank statements and I already sent them bank statements. The gentleman said, "Oh well you were denied." I honestly think this place is a ripoff. It just sucks that I sent in so many important documents. I will be calling my bank to get a new account. Pls if you need a loan ask every member in your family go anywhere but this horrible place!!!

I was approved online for 2000 and have used the credit often. I live in Va so read all the term prior to borrowing money. I currently bring home 750 a week and if a bill is due before I get paid I will use money from my AF247 account which is instantly transferred to my bank via my debit card. When I get paid at work I use the same credit card to pay them back and never have paid any interest for using the money responsibly. If you borrow money and only pay back the monthly minimum you will pay high interest for the money.

I borrowed 3700$ in small quantities over two months. I have paid over 2k in interest. I paid 2900 yesterday. How do I owe 1500$? It is ridiculous. They need to be investigated. They are taking advantage of people that simply need a little advance every now and then. How is people suppose to pay this off when they keep jacking the price sky high. It's a shame!!!

I went to Advance Financial to get a loan for 400. Well conditions are not explained to consumer and percentage rates and fees are astronomical. The interest rate is 265 percent and .7 percent fees added daily! That's right daily. 3 months later paying to month I now owe 800 dollars. Never missed a payment. I called on Thursday to find out my pay off. When I get there Friday it was 30 dollars more the next day.

Went to Advance Financial in Clarksville to cash a 28.00 class action lawsuit settlement check, presented ID and check (left it as it was received in the mail) my physical address was on check, on front of envelope (pull tab check) and on my D.L and they all matched to the letter! Employee asked me what kind of check it was. I stated it was a Class Action Lawsuit “SETTLEMENT” check... remember she asked me! She called over her co-worker to get her advice on how to “categorize“ the check and then she scanned it and sent it to the “historical Wedgewood” for verification. Process complete (I’m at this point standing at the window). She opens her drawer and tells me it was a $5.00 fee for cashing this $28.00 check (charged 17.9%) and proceeds to hand me $23.00!

I am a person that doesn't usually write reviews. I in this case had to speak on the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Most of the employees I spoke with were very rude and distasteful. I sent in 3 documents to verify my bank account and over a 3 day period was still being prompted for more. Every time I spoke with an employee it was a matter of if I just send one more document I will be done and processed. This is the worst company I have ever experienced and I did all the work online myself applying. If you want results in Jackson, TN... please go to Check Into Cash on Vann drive. It is pleasant, fast, and customer service values exist.

My friend I helped search and find a place to get a flex loan. Took her and she was approved on disability so I decided also to apply online and it straight up told me I was denied and I get more income than she does plus I get extra 320 a month in plasma money. I wouldn't of had any problem paying payments back as promised but they didn't even give me a chance. I have a Wells Fargo secured card. Been paying on for 3 years. Never late. Plus a cash advance for 2 years been paying off and rewriting at Advance America. Never late. But this place plain denied me. No chance at all. Very unhappy with them.

Advance 24/7 is nothing more than a predatory loan. A shark in the water, so to speak. Unless you want your account completely drained, of over 1,000.00 dollars, at a time. Stay clear! They will take 3-4 payments AT A TIME, on the same day! Even when you have not authorized automatic payments! The interest rates are over 250 percent. They do not care, at all, if you've lost your job and they clear your account, month by month. Leaving you with not a single dollar, to your name. Please, heed my warnings and stay far away from this company as you can! I've only left a single star, because no stars isn't an option!

Poor customer service. Lack of communication with customer. I feel like it's false advertisement. I sent all required documents and different representing saying different thing each time I call. Never again!!!

Called today to specifically pay off my principal balance of 2411.84 which continues to accrue a ridiculous amount of interest. Something that they do not disclose up front. The customer service representative assured me that this will only leave me with the interest and I would not accrue interest on interest. Cool! It is crazy to make a $652 monthly payment and only $72 is going toward the principal. Well after taking my payment, the customer service rep. came back to tell me that not all of the payment went toward the principal balance because I had a payment due today. It should not matter what was due today... My principal balance is the principal balance.

This company has made me physically nauseous and I'm left wondering what in the world am I going to do! I've had this loan for a very short time and have paid over $1,800 in what's called "Customary Fees". It's not the interest that hurts, it's the fees. This past month, since I've borrowed $2,500, I've paid almost $700. My payoff is $2,900! I don't know how this could be happening! I spoke to a representative who was nice enough, but left me wondering how I'm gonna get this paid! I'm at a loss! I don't know what I'm going to do?

My experience with Advance Financial has been greatly appreciated. Prompt customer service response and a welcome environment mean a lot to me. There is always a friendly face every time I visit and my business is with Advance Financial has always been accurate and quick. Thank you so much for being a company that I know I can depend on to meet any financial needs that I may have or may need in the future! I highly recommend your services to everyone I know!

Miss Shaniqua was very friendly. Loan was simple, fast and easy. It took maybe 15 minutes. Super glad that it comes out of my bank account. By coming out of my account, I don't have to worry about being late. And I also get all my money orders too. Everyone is very nice!

Overall, I have been happy with my experience at Advance Financial. I have found the staff to be very competent and professional. They are always very helpful and polite. I also like that there many locations around Davidson County which makes it very convenient to conduct my business while I am out and about.

Thought I was getting a loan, with easy payments, instead I got a loan that just keeps going up with fees, charges. Can't pay 800 dollars every two weeks, they won't change the payments. Advance Financial does nothing but put you back in debt. They overdrafted my bank account several times costing me more money. They constantly call and harass you from 6 different numbers. Pathetic crooked organization.

Everything was awesome. The man that helped me was very nice and patient with me. I would recommend a friend if they need some extra funds to get them through. It was nice that your company is open 24/7 and I did not have to wait for a certain time to stop in.

Got approved for 2730.00 with easy payback options. Definitely coming back here to do business again. My money was in my account the next day! Better than a payday loan because you don't have to pay anything back right away. You just pay for how long you keep the money.

Very nice. Was impressed Julie was bilingual and was able to multi-task the way she did. Just don't know why she needed to when so many employees were there. Wasn't able to get FULL amount I needed but hopefully in time they will see I can repay any loan I take out. THANKS Advance Financial!

I never thought I could get a loan because of my credit. But Advance Financial really came through for me when I really needed it!! I have recommended them to several friends and to my boyfriend who also got a loan from them!!! Thanks a million! I will be back in the future to get another loan!

The rep was very very friendly and helpful, she made our visit relaxing. Damon I think her name was went above and beyond to make sure our loan was correct. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family. I love how it's set up like a credit card.

I applied and was only approved for 100$ because the person only put in I had a savings account when I had both checking and savings. I was only approved for this amount due to error on y'all part. I very unhappy with this decision. I called and was told even with it being your fault I still get penalized and it's not right at all.

The two gentlemen that talked with at the Athens TN office were exceptional. They both worked fast to get all my information into the computer system and got me approved for a loan. I appreciate your respectful and very professional attitude while doing business with your office. I have never been so impressed with the process and time it takes to get approved for a loan as I was with Advance Financial.

Other than the rates being HIGH, they appear to be a great company. I know, I know, that they say the rates are high and should be used for the very short term, but... was able to do it all online which is easy. If you are looking for money fast and can pay off fast, this would be your company.

I like the customer service. I haven't personally talked to anyone, but they do call to see if everything went well. I haven't talked to anyone because I'm always at work, but they do leave pleasant voicemails. This is my first time doing a line of credit and I'm pleased.

I was blown away by the amazing customer service. The associates were super nice and very helpful. And it was so easy to get the money I needed. Super fast and super easy. And local. It's nice to have such an amazing 24/7 financial so close to home. Thank you Advance Financial.

I had my loan done at the Bristol, TN location on West State Street. The lady who took care of me was named Jenna. She was very professional and courteous. She made sure to explain each step of the loan process in detail. She made sure I was comfortable with the loan amount and payment amount before I signed for the loan. She did an excellent job.

Fast and Easy. My experience was good. It was easy and very helpful. All questions were answered and I was very satisfied. Thanks.

Hello, I'd like to bring to your attention, the great service I received from the young lady that really spoke volumes for me. Omg, she was very skilled, patient, and determined to get me that loan. It came at a point when I really needed a lending hand. I'm very satisfied with the results, I would really recommend that to anyone that's looking for temporary help. Once again thank you for the time and patience.

I was approved for $648 and when I got to the store to pick up my money I was told I was approved by mistake! I have never been so heartbroken in my life! My brakes went out on my car and I was gonna lose my job because I had just started!
