So I applied for a loan on Friday. Today is Tuesday. They told me Friday that they were sending my loan to my bank account by Monday. They also asked for my bank login and password. My mother’s maiden name. My routing number my bank account number. My debit card numbers the 3 digit code in the back and expiration date. My address, my phone number. My social security number and of course my birthdate. And like a ** idiot I gave it to them being desperate to fix my car so I can go to work. Well you know Monday rolls in and no money. I called and asked where is it? They said that I had to Western Union them $95 dollars to verify my identity. I immediately went off on the guy and he yelled back saying he was a loan officer. I hung up and changed my bank password. I canceled my bank card and reported it as lost. I didn’t know at that point I could have changed my login too.
Well it’s 11:30 pm Tuesday night and I get a email from my bank that someone tried login into my account set real times and had the wrong password. So they locked me out until I can prove my identity. So now I changed my login. Thank god that my account has a second security measure! It sends me a text with a secret code that you have to type in to get into the account. So far that’s taken care of. Now as far as all my other information I don’t know what will they do with it! But I plan to pursue a case against them to have them taken down! It’s not right to have that evilness! How can they do that to people who are obviously looking for financial help? Stay away from them. Don’t give them personal information. I learned that the hard way. And usually if you end up here it’s because you ended up getting screwed by them too. Prayers for karma! P.s. had to get a star just to post this or the wouldn’t get anything but this???

When loan wasn't deposited next day as indicated in approval email I called and learned it was actually denied. Now this company has my BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND PASSWORD AND THEY WON'T DELETE IT. They have the account number, the routing number and my online password. WTAF. How are they not shut down??

I have never gotten a pay day loan with Check 'n Go, but I did apply and the in store sales woman gave me a printout that said "The application is not able to be approved at this time. Customer is on the hit list - 2 Fraud". I called the online customer service and they said they could not see that on their end and I should be able to get a loan. I called the state and they recommended I try a different company due to the fact it is very untrue statement. The state said I was in good standing. Very upsetting to see that. The printout came from Check 'n Go website on the bottom of the printout. Never use Check 'n Go. Very shady and bad experience! I wish they would be investigated by the government! Whatever you do, don't get a loan from Check 'n Go! You will regret it!

So I filled out an application on Friday, June 15th. I looked at my email first thing Monday thinking I would get an approval or denial. I got neither. I was asked to submit documents (check stub/bank statement/id), so I did. I looked again on Tuesday, June 19th. Nothing. I was asked to submit the same documents. I called and was told that there is a 48 hour manual review and that they would contact me by email by Friday. I looked again on Friday and read that I could apply for another Loan as the one I applied for was "voided". No explanation why. I called again and was told that due to an error on their part that I had to submit yet another application. I was also told that upon doing so there would be yet another 48 hour "manual review" of the same documents that I submitted.
At that point I just canceled the whole thing, told them that their treatment of first time customers was atrocious and that I couldn't believe they were still in business. As a first time customer I wondered how they treated the people who actually came back. Bottom line. If you need money in a hurry for any reason - DO NOT CALL CHECK 'N GO!!! Worst experience in my life. I can't believe people still use them. I told them to not only cancel my application but delete all of my information and they will never ever hear from me again. I will also take to all social media and let everyone know this is the worst company ever. Just as a side, I got in touch with another payday loan place and got money that day. So it's not me - it's them!

I am furious at the company. Yesterday I applied for a loan and was approved. Went through with verifying my information and received the email that stated my funds were on the way. Woke up this morning and there was nothing in my checking account. So I get mad. I call the company first thing this morning and was told that my application was approved but later denied. The lady couldn't give me any information as to why it was denied. Now I am scrambling to find money for my surgery tomorrow. This company is a scam and should be shut down! How fraudulent to take all my banking information and then deny my loan. I am so pissed!

I have been receiving harassing and threatening phone calls saying I owe them money due to a loan I never took out. Got a call today from someone saying they were from Ace Recovery. I told them I have never stepped in one of their stores. She said it was an online loan. And threatened again that this had to be taken care of today or they will process to take me to court. I questioned myself and set up payments. But did further research. The company cannot give online loans legally in Iowa. So they could not have given me a loan online. I know for a fact I have never stepped foot in one of their retail locations. So I have never taken out a loan with them.
I have tried today to call Ace to contest the supposed loan, with no one answering. If they do not return my call tomorrow or I cannot reach I will call my bank and stop these payments. I will be stopping them anyway, but will give them notice I am doing so. If they want to try and prove this they will have to send me a copy of the paperwork by mail, not email. I am pissed as hell, one because I fell for this and 2nd that there are such horrible people in this world. You would be smart to stay away from this company!!! I put a 1 star below for application process by accident. I never filled out an application.

I have taken out several payday loans over the past year due to my husband's unemployment issue. All were paid off on time with no problem. I actually tried to take out another loan and was told that my application had been denied! Wow, I don't understand why they denied me. Listen if you need a payday loan DO NOT use this company. Their customer service is awful and they will not explain your loan to you at all. A 450.00 loan cost me 800.00. There are several companies out there that are really willing to help with no problems at all.
My situation was an emergency or I would have never borrowed from Check 'n Go at all. Please do your due diligence and find a more useful company as there are a lot of them out there willing to help and have more employees that are trained for their job. Employees are very RUDE and unwilling to help you solve all your problems/needs for repayment.

Do yourself a favor and run! This company is horrible. After I was approved for the loan, I was given an option on how I was going to pay. I chose to call in with my payment. My 1st payment was due on 1/1/18. It was a holiday so I had to wait until the following day. I checked my balance in the bank and they had already taken my payment! (I NEVER AUTHORIZED THEM OR ANYONE TO GO INTO MY ACCOUNT)! The following month, on the 1st, was going to make my payment by calling in again. Checked my bank and of course they helped themselves again! I closed that account and opened another bank account. Before the 3rd payment was due, I called them to let them know not to go into the account because it was closed. She didn't want to hear it. The 3rd was due went and called to make my payment and was told, we already received it. I asked how they got it when it wasn't even due until today!?
This place has a habit of thinking what is yours is theirs! The loan amount was 1200.00. I paid them 863.00. Called to get a payoff and was told it was 1300.00... I ran to pay them off! So the 1200.00 loan cost me 2063.00 for an account that had been open for 3 months. Not to mention I had a mess with the bank because the account was closed but when they put it through, it reopened the closed account... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, DONT WALK PAST THIS PLACE... RUN!

Here a few days ago I walked into one of your outlets. It was located in Skiatook. And I was overwhelmed on how many people were waiting on being waited on. And the cashier was doing her utmost to get everyone taken of. So my question is or my comment is: Why doesn't the company allow a second cashier be present on the knowing heaviest payment days of the month. Like the store in Skiatook. Just for those days only! But I also can't figure out what the cashier does if they got a room full of people and has got to go to the restroom and no other cashier there to cover and/or make things go more smoothly on knowing heavy payout days. And that is not say that I think the woman working at the Skiatook is an added plus to corporate. She is very pleasant, fast and very, very concerned for the customer well being! And should be given a raise if all possible. Thank you and have a Good Day!!

The application process seemed easy. I just dislike that you apply with the tedious application needing a lot of information... Understandable though based on the amount you want but wish they would approve or decline you right there. After the application process they say the money will be in your account next day but days later found out wasn't even approved... Waste of time. Ended up going through someone else a different company.

I applied for a payday loan. Got the email saying that my application was done and that the money would be deposited into my acct the next day. Later that day I logged into my account to see if there was an update on my loan and it wasn't there anymore. I called the customer service number. After waiting all day thinking I was all set it wasn't approved. I received an email the next day stating that they couldn't verify my information on my application. So I wasted my time when I could have went to another company. And if they couldn't verify info why wasn't I contacted to get them what they needed and why was I told it was approved and then it wasn't. Very unprofessional, and disgusted with this company. And now they have my banking information. Don't waste your time with this flipping place. They are scandalous!!!

I have been calling customer service and have been routed to several Supervisors - I called and sent an e-mail on 8/29 to stop the automatic EFT payment - because on 9/1/2017 (payment due date) I was going to pay the total amount due on loan. On 8/29/2017 the customer service rep told me that it would be stopped and all I had to do was call customer service on 9/1/2017 and pay the total amount due. At that time she said that the amount she was showing was 3,700.00 however it will be lower than that because that was not the early pay off amount. On 9/1/2017 I called to pay off the loan just like I said I would and I was told that my account was in collection department due to a returned check - I was shocked to hear that because 1. My payment date was 9/1/2017 and I was placing the call in the morning of 9/1/2017.
And why were they showing a returned check? I never wrote them a check and I specifically stopped the EFT from my bank on 8/29/2017 so that I can pay loan amount off completely on 9/1/2017. I was then transferred to the Supervisor of the collections dept. from the Tijuana office who refused to give me his name and was very rude shouting at me telling me that he did not have a payoff amount for me and now I would have to wait until 9/5/2017 or 9/6/2017 until the system is updated. I was so upset and so stressed out from what I was hearing because I want to pay off this loan to avoid more interest and fees and CHECK 'N GO - is not allowing me to pay it off. The next few days were very stressful. So on Tuesday 9/5/2017 I called CHECK 'N GO again and was told that I had to make the payment of $337.00 that was not paid on 9/1/2017 before I can get a pay-off amount. This process is ridiculous!
So I make the payment of $337.00 and I was told by Jakeen in collections that I would be transferred back to customer service and they would be able to take my payment for the entire loan amount. WELL when I got transferred I was told that they did not have a payoff amount because it takes a few days to generate in the system. So basically days and days are going by and I still do not have a payoff amount and interest is stacking up! On 9/6 I called CHECK 'N GO again to get a pay-off amount. I was told that my pay-off amount was $3479.63 so I asked to speak with a Supervisor and I was transferred to Carlos from Tijuana office again and he said he will try to research the call that I made saying I wanted to pay off the amount on 9/1/2017. RIDICULOUS!
Then he called me back and said he could not honor that date and that my amount is $3479.63. However I had already made two payments of $337.00 and I want my pay-off loan amount as of 9/1/2017 because that is the day I said I was going to pay it off that was the day my payment was due and no one was able to give me an amount. I am very upset the way that I am being treated. I am not trying to run away from my payments. ALL I WANT IS MY PAY OFF AMOUNT AS OF 9/1/2017. It is unfair that I have all these extra fees because no one is able to help me.

Signed up for this service over a month ago and having difficulty getting some two-party checks cashed immediately no matter what the domination is and payor. Some two-party checks have been cashed by CNG previously and now, they are either denying the checks to be cashed or saying "do not cash" w/ little to no feedback or assistance from specific CNG location, third-party provider (ingomoney.com) or customer service/corporate office email-tele. #s. I agree w/ most of the reviews re. difficulty w/ this company/organization and getting specific responses to questions and handling of your problems/issues.
And, yes, you wait forever in their CNG locations for loan approvals and financial assistance services to be processed/completed; a few competitors are quicker (i.e., CheckSmart, area banks). Most employees I have dealt w/ at Store #984 are pleasant, esp. Tasha who's a good multi-tasker, but the 3rd party provider/approval resolution personnel and trying to reach resolution - corp. office personnel to assist w/ resolution are "terrible!" -- a negative, "no stars." The fees are ok, comparable to the banks or other banking institutions, which I'll go back to.

I recently was a customer of Check 'n Go online. Was very easy to use. I loaned and paid back twice on time!! Even early the first loan and then on third loan they tell me I was not approved to re-loan and also could not give me any reason why. As I continued to figure what issue was they got attitudes and hung up on me twice. Then finally I called back and they said only way to get more information on it was to write a letter to another department that does not take phone calls... Also refused to transfer me to a supervisor. One ladies name is Lisa and the guy's name is Julio. Basically watch because they will get your fees a couple times and turn around and say you cannot re-loan for no apparent reason.

I got out of the military a few years ago and quickly found that civilian jobs do not pay half as much as the military. I manage to pay my bills but there are those months when I come up a bit short and need to put gas in my car and buy groceries or get an unexpected bill that needs to be paid immediately. Getting a small loan online through Check 'n Go has always been simple and has proven a lifesaver for me more than once. They do charge fees but the fees are stated upfront when you sign the contract.
The important thing with any of these payday loan companies I think is to just take what you need and no more. Although I have been approved for a larger loan I always figure up what I need and take the least amount possible. These loans should only be taken in the event of an emergency when all other options have been exhausted. Although the fees are a bit high, as a single mom I'm glad these companies are around to help out in a pinch when needed. I've never really had a problem with customer service, doing everything completely online I've never even really dealt with customer service or anyone from Check 'n Go for that matter. The process is pretty simple and streamlined.

Harassed for a debt that I didn't even make. I got a call from an unknown number today. As I don't have any bill collectors banging down my door, I answer it. This gentleman asks when he can deliver a "legal notice" and I ask him what a legal notice is. He immediately transfers me to this woman saying a claim has been made from Check 'n Go. I explain that couldn't be the case. The banking information is wrong, the email is wrong, but everything else was my info. I asked her for more information and even stated I wasn't in the country at the time of this transaction and her words were "Well that is why you would get a payday loan".
She kept asking me for more and more info, pressuring me until I shut down and said, "This isn't me, I would rather know how to figure out who to contact" and she kept saying the "legal notice" would take care of that and hung up on me. My privacy was taken advantage of, I was accused of something wasn't me, as well as called a liar. I am extremely upset at this situation and since the number was unknown, I don't know who to call back.

I feel I have been mislead and taken advantage of by Ck N Go. I went to the location in Rio Rancho, NM and I qualified for a 5,000 payday loan with a payment of $353.00. I was told the loan was simple interest and I could pay off at any time or renew at a lower payment without paying it off. I did not want the 5,000 loan because the payments were too high but the sales person when I was told I could refinance the loan at a smaller payment I decided to do it.
I have had many payday loans and have never had the issues I have with Ck N Go. When I went in to refinance after the 6th payment I was told that I had to put down 1/3 of the balance to principal!!! I said, "That is not what I was told and there is nothing in my contract that states that." I have also learned since that this is not a simple interest loan. It is computed so they add the interest onto the principal, and almost nothing from my payments is going to the principal. I have been paying since last year and my balance is only 100.00 less. And now I can't find another company that will loan me the 4900 so I can pay this off!
They are a scam company and I have complained and given feedback to Corporate with no results. Also they are suppose to automatically debit my account for payment. Well they did not so I went in to pay cash and then sure enough the following week they charged me without notification. I will never do business with this company again and warn others to stay away.

I have occasionally used Check N Go to take out small loans over the last 2-3 years. Recently I needed to take out a larger loan but I knew I'd be able to pay it off quickly. The principal on the loan was $1800, in a month I had made $990 payments. I called to find out what my payoff amount was and I was told $1780! Yet the loan wasn't scheduled to be paid off for another 3 months. Apparently the interest doesn't accrue but they tack it on from the BEGINNING. This means even if you pay off early they still charge you full interest! I have never had a lender do this. Inequitable and subversive business practices. When I applied the first thing I asked was about the interest and whether or not an early payoff would result in reduced fees. I was told yes! Nothing in the original paperwork states that interest is added initially and not accrued. True scammers.

This company was ok to deal with until I missed a payment. From that point forward they wished to exterminate me from earth. I've had several loans paid on time 100% and paid off within just a few months. This last time my circumstances turned far worse and I got behind. Instead of talking me through options, they told me there was nothing they could do to help me and told me to borrow from someone else. If I could do that I wouldn't have come here to them for a loan. The third time I called for a solution and said I could pay a small payment I asked if that would prevent my auto debit from coming out with the full amount. I was told my auto debit for the full amount would not go through if I made the payment. Then when I called back to make the payment and asked to verify that no additional money would be taken out of my account, they told me I made it up and no one would have given me that information. Well they absolutely did.
Then she started raising her voice that I owed them this money. I started crying and said it's five days before Christmas. She didn't sympathize and I hung up. A customer having problems shouldn't be disrespected like this. They treated me like I had been chronically late and a poor customer, which is not the situation. Then the incessant phone calls started and they called my Dad. After this conversation at Christmas I never wanted to speak to them again. I tried to call corporate and deal with them but no luck. I will never go to this company again. I am their core customer. And their core customer experiences issues where they will get behind and need help. It's inevitable.

I will never mess with any of these companies ever again. Why? They are shady and give you the runaround. They won't give you information on when to pay back the loan at the lowest interest. They tell you that interest accrued daily yet is cheapest to pay back at the end of the money. So they lie. If you pay back your loan come the 2nd of the month then you're paying that month's interest. Pay back come the last day of the month, and you will pay only the principal and whatever daily interest is left for the month.
It's confusing as all hell and I had to talk to 3 people just to get that information because they give you the runaround. They treated me like I was asking for classified state secrets here. This company and others like it are NOT out to help you. They are strictly about making money and their customer service sucks and is shady. Everything I asked for today is information that I should have access to as the lendee. Do not do these bad credit loans. Ever. Deal with your financial instability and take the pain for a bit.

Check n Go is very good with getting all your information to approve you for a loan, however the moment you want to contact the store manager's supervisor you are given the runaround. This all started with me calling them to delay my next payment due to the fact that I was in the hospital and would not have money to cover the payment.
The store manager agreed to delay the payment and told me it would be tacked onto the end of the loan. Well come the due date, she took it out of my checking account even though she said she would not. I called her immediately and she apologized for the mistake and said she would reverse the payment... not the case. She told me she was told by her boss that she was not suppose to do that and they could not reverse the debt.
I am now overdrawn because of her mistake and no one wants to make it good. I asked to speak to her supervisor and was told she could not give me his number. I searched for their corporate office, which is under Axcess Financial and was given the run around there. They did give me their dedicated ethics & fraud line, which answers, puts you on hold then disconnects you. SOME DEDICATED LINE! I then was given a district's manager phone number - who never responded. I was told to get online and log into their complaint line and someone would get back to me - GUESS WHAT - RIGHT no callback, just an email stated the complaint has been logged and will be reviewed.

I used this company for years. I was approved to borrow the full amount. Was constantly told I am a great customer... paying on time blah blah blah. I stopped using them almost a year ago. Just because my financial circumstances got better. Today, I found myself in need of a payday loan again. I took my proof of income, a check and filled out a application. Waited for over an hour because only one person was working behind the counter. Finally when my turn came I thought I was about done and could run to the bank and make my deposit. WRONG! I was told I could only borrow $179. When asked why all I was told is they have new underwriters. I was asked if I still wanted the loan and said no and asked for all my documents back.
I took them without looking them over and went back to my car. I looked at the documents and found the cashier had given me someone's income stub that was not mine. I looked at the application and it wasn't mine either! I went back into the store and was told "sorry my mistake" and was asked to wait so my application could be run again. Instead of cutting ahead of everyone I told the cashier to wait on them first. And I waited another 45 minutes. She ran my application again and the offer was $179 again. Was told again "sorry we have new underwriters" and I took the loan but returned later today to cancel it and return the check.
I chose to pay a late fee rather than the ridiculous service charge for the small loan they offered me. The cashier said these new underwriters have declined most of the frequent customers even those of us who have a great pay history. Today just proved to me this company doesn't care about its customers or loyalty. I was honest and brought back that other customer's info but I wonder how many times that has happened where the info was used illegally? As lightly as the cashier took it I find it to be very shady. No wonder they force you to agree not to sue them!

My ex husband cleaned out the account leaving me to scramble to pay this off... which I did. I have the cancelled checks to prove it... here it is some 11 years later and I am being harassed into.paying this fee again and then some. The original loan was for 600.00 and 63.00 finance charge. Now this new fee is over 1100.00. I have agreed to pay this. I can't afford an attorney since my current husband is between jobs. I have asked repeatedly for the check numbers so that I may show them I have the cancelled checks paid. What a scam and rip off. If I could sue I would!!!

I will never go to this place again! First of all my payments are due on the first of each month. I had surgery and called and told them I needed an extra day... "Fine," they said... Well that night they put my check into my account making me over drafted. BUT, their check cleared! Well now it is the 14th of the month and I have been checking with them every day to see if I can come get another loan to make good on my bank and buy food for me and my dogs (I am on SSI so money doesn't go far) and they still say I cannot get another loan cause the check hasn't cleared!!
I have been evicted since this happened and have had nothing to eat, but yet they will not take a bank statement saying this check cleared November 2, 2016 so I can eat. What kind of people run this place??? I would not recommend this place to an enemy let alone a stranger or friend. This is the WORSE place I have ever gotten a loan from and do NOT know how to run a business or deal with customers!

Went in and got a $300 loan. When I went back yesterday to pay it the manager, nonetheless... Check the amount she was charging going to charge twice before she ran the card and come to find out today when it posted to my account she charged me an extra $225. Went in today after calling and them saying to come in and they would give me the difference, I just needed to bring in the statement. I brought it and was then told they can't give me the money for another 3 days because it is still showing as a pending transaction.
So now I'm screwed on my car payment which I was suppose to pay by tomorrow. Unless I go today at 4:30. Because I have to wait 24 hours to get another loan after I pay off one. And unfortunately the other loan place will only give me up to $170 at a time for some BS reason so I have to go back there now... I was 30 mins late to work because of this crap and I'm probably going to be at least 15 mins late coming back from lunch cause I have to drive 30 mins there and 30 back...

I applied for a short term $1000 dollar loan & automatically got approved! I was very happy because I needed to pay off an unexpected emergency occurrence that had befallen upon myself & children! I called to check if the loan was deposited into my account, it wasn't! I kept calling my financial institution until a representative connect me about the first payment! I had told them the loan never got deposited! The rep was very nice and so I gave him whatever information I could to help find out what had happened! After all I didn't want to pay off a loan I didn't get!
I finally got a loan from my own financial institution to pay off my emergency occurrence. I didn't have any credit so I needed a cosigner to get the loan from my bank which is why I tried Check 'n Go! I thank God Jesus Christ I found me a cosigner and got a loan!

I was nervous to take out a payday loan because I'd heard so many bad things, but it was an emergency and it was quick and easy for me to get a loan online through Check 'n Go. The terms of the loan were clearly explained, I knew exactly what was due and when it was due. I understood the interest rate and any fees, I never felt like the company was trying to trick me or take my money.
The day before my loan was due I realized that my paycheck would be a day late. Desperate to avoid fees and interest, I called Check 'n Go but didn't expect any leniency. To my surprise the representative I spoke to agreed to extend my due date from Tuesday to Friday. He didn't ask any questions or guilt me into anything, only assured me that no money would be taken out of my checking account until Friday and that I would not be charged any fees or interest. I was shocked, I had never been given a free extension period by a lender.
I would give Check 'n Go 5 stars but it was confusing to figure out who to contact. At first I went into my local store to ask for an extension but was told the stores cannot help online customers. I called the toll free number and was on hold for 20 minutes. I didn't realize the money would automatically come out of my account, I thought I would have to call or go online to pay it. I wish there was an option to pay early online.
Based on my experience, Check 'n Go does not deserve such terrible reviews. Yes, they will charge you fees and high interest, but that is all clearly explained to you before you agree to take out the loan. You should never take out a payday loan unless it's an emergency, but if you do have one and run into problems, just call them and ask what your options are. They were quick to help me.

Please oh please do not use this company! I had a loan all setup on July 9th approved and good to go. I called them that day to review a discrepancy in my banking info. The lady at first was very nice and cordial. She suggested we cancel the first loan, and put it thorough again, which I did. I was immediately told that I could not have a loan, and that more info was needed regarding SSDI paperwork. I searched frantically for anything I had, and found my initial one from 2014. I was told that this wasn't current enough, even though literally EVERYTHING on my bank statement and SSDI paperwork matched up. After talking to 3 employees, I asked to speak to a supervisor to get this straightened out. She not only did not straighten the situation out, she exacerbated it!
I asked to speak with her boss, and he was conveniently "Not taking phone calls." The lady thing I was told, was to show a updated SSDI award letter, and I updated that today, the 11th, and am still told that more info was needed! I've sent everything via online to these crooks! Bank statements, updated award letters, etc and still, it is not good enough for them! All of this discourse with workers, and supervisors, even though I was initially approved!??

I checked on Thursday morning and my app. was still pending verification. I called later that day at 5 p.m. and the rep tells me that it usually takes 24-48 hours to verify the online app. So I waited until Friday morning around 12 p.m. est and my app was still pending.
I called customer service again and this time they tell me it takes 24-48 business hours to approve an app. That means it takes 3-6 business days.

My ex-wife needed to cash a Government check on the 26th of April 2016 (spousal support which has my name referenced on the check). Check 'n Go needed my identification in order to cash the check. I was told that I was required to fill out a 'membership/create an account' and my personal information was required (Driver's License, Social Security Number, etc.). I felt at the time that my SSN was not required, and my valid California driver's license should be sufficient (as it is anywhere else that I cash a check/do business with). The check was cashed on the 26th of April, 2016.
I had an uneasy feeling in having provided my social security number, fearing that with both SSN and Driver's License Number, I could easily be set up for identity theft. On Saturday, April 30, 2016, I performed a web search on Check 'n Go. In reading the complaints/reviews associated with Check 'n Go, I drafted a letter requesting that my membership/account be closed and all personal information deleted, with a signature line on the document that they had received my request. I informed Ryan, who I assume is the manager, that after doing a web search and reading reviews regarding Check 'n GO, I had qualms with them having my personal information.
Originally, Ryan (the one that took all of my personal information) said that he couldn't/wouldn't provide a signature on my request for my co-signer account cancellation. After stating "Let me go talk to the sheriff's department", he became more willing to talk. He stated that Check 'n Go did not maintain personal information, and that was handled by a third party that they use, Chexar. When pressed for information on how to contact Chexar in order to have my information removed from their files, he stated he did not have that information. At one point, he denied that a check cashing transaction had ever occurred at that business, up until the point that my ex-wife pulled out the paperwork from Check 'n Go relating to the transaction.
In the end, he assured me that neither Check 'n Go nor their 3rd party affiliate Chexar had a copy of my personal information (although from the runaround and untruthfulness encountered, as well as his refusal to sign/acknowledge my copy of a request to terminate my account/membership for the reasons stated, I have serious doubts that my personal information is in safe hands). I NEVER again wish to do ANY type of business with this establishment (as well as cautioning my ex-wife in regards to any future use) and in reading the numerous reviews/complaints relating to this business, I'll join the chorus of other individuals who have/had less than stellar experiences with this business model. I strongly caution all who might anticipate using Check 'n Go to use all due diligence in any transactions with them.

Check 'n Go is one of the many branches of Axcess Financial Services. I've relied on them intermittently over the years when money was tight. I'm fairly (sadly) familiar with how payday loans work and I understand that the consumer pays a huge amount of interest in return for the convenience of having cash available quickly, especially consumers with poor credit. But the rest of convenience is supposed to be that it doesn't require a credit check.
I could understand why they would check my credit if I was seeking an installment loan, but in the last year and a half, I've only relied on Check 'n Go for payday loans. When checking my credit records today I discovered that Check 'n Go, or Axcess Financial Services, has performed a hard check on my credit every time I've turned to them for a payday loan. This translates to a ding on my credit and makes me look like I'm desperate for credit. This is simply unacceptable and I will no longer rely on them for this particular service.

I wish there was a (-) negative star rating! This company screwed up. The money never got to my account. But when I called they were SO VERY RUDE. Told me that I was still responsible for this loan and for at least 3-5 DAYS!!!! they couldn't do or wouldn't do anything! I am STILL being charged interest at this point and responsible for this. Then wouldn't reprocess this, and told me that I HAD to wait 3-5 days to even restart another loan. I have NEVER dealt with this much rudeness... Spoke to 2 different people and supposedly different departments, and BOTH were just as rude. Their agent entered the account number wrong. They can tell that they sent the money to the wrong place... but now I have to call back in 3-5 days ("sometimes up to 10 days") to deal with them AGAIN. So much for a quick loan for a few days. This has turned into a nightmare!!!!

In July 2014, I received a pre-qualified loan letter in the mail. They told me to bring down proof of income. Then told me I did not qualify. So I got a payday advance. After about 3 PDA I came in to pay shortly after having surgery and having a fluid recovery bag hanging on my side. The mgr/regional told me they were going to be stopping PDA but I was approved for a loan (no inquiry from me), had to do the paperwork twice due to my condition. After making 3 payments on time I came in and made a large payment before the due date. At the end of that month they charged me a late payment for not paying another payment that same month, and another charge each month since. Still making payment on time. That's extortion using my credit as hostage.

On this occasion I was treated by the new manager - she first told me she would be with me shortly after she made several calls complaining about a customer. When she finally called me up I told her instead of making a partial payment I would pay back the entire amount and Reborrow. I have done this for 2 years. She said that would be fine after I asked her if there would be a problem with me reborrowing.
She took my money. Oh and the whole time was talking to another employee about a customer. She said I would have to refill an application and provide all new check stubs. I told her she should have told me this in the beginning. I didn't bring check stubs with me. She shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes and handed me the paper and told me to fill it out. When I came back I told her I would never be back. I also asked her if she was the manager. She said yes. I told her she was an ass and didn't know how to deal with the public and just lost me and even though they made a lot of money off of me I would never step foot in there again. She does not know how to talk to you or treat customers. You just lost a good customer.

The new company changed out pay dates to the 7th and 22nd of each month. I assumed since my loan was set around my pay dates I would be able to call and change this. I even got a supervisor on the phone. They said it is contractual and they cannot change my dates. To me, this just seems wrong. I had no control over my work changing my dates.

You end up paying the loan, after you pay the full interest they charge. That's why it's important to read all the information these companies provide. They do not hide anything. Even their customer service representative answer every question. They also encourage you to pay off the loan asap. Or give more each time it's due.

I called and got another arrogant, rude man who talked over me and down to me, and was not interested in listening to anything I had to say. Our Attorney told me to stop taking their calls and ignore them. I did and finally, the calls stopped... for a while.
