Don't fall for this scam

It started with a text regarding a loan I applied for. I ignored the text, 2 hours later they called asking me for my personal information to verify the loan. Then proceeded to ask me for my online banking information saying that is the only way to get the loan approved. I declined and hung up. I went to the police station to report it, they asked me to call the number back, I did and once I identify myself the individual hung up. He identifies as Morris Anderson, Snr Loan Specialist with Advance America and currently using This number (786) 480-****. currentdont ly using

User's recommendation: Do not give him your information it's a scam.

"used other companies "Then perhaps you should have used other companies. Just because one lets you slide doesn't mean the others will.

No one is risking their job to "make you happy." This isn't a bank with champagne and concierge service.

This is the last chance (unwise) stop for those who have no credit to speak of. Rather than whine and hope someone elevates your self-esteem, do it yourself and never go back to one of these holes...

Customer service complaint

2.0
I received a payday loan and my date to pay it back is 2 days. I was charged 14 days interest for a two day loan. When I questioned this the manager no less told me it had to be that way. This is not true. Other payday companies would make it actually 2 weeks from today. When I called the customer service number it looped around never letting me speak to someone. I finally did and was patronized and placated. A waste of time for both of us. I realize nothing will come of this complaint. The employee will probably get promoted for doing her job correctly...but theres a difference between doing your job well and customer service.

User's recommendation: I will tell as many as I can to not use Advance America.

They went up my payments without letting me know ahead of timr

I went in to pay on my loan, and they told me my payment went up I ask them why I wasn't notified it went up, and they said they didn't know I have kids and I'm on a very tight budget what can I do about this

User's recommendation: Don't apply for a loan there.

You can read the terms you agreed to. IF they say they can go up on your payment, you can do nothing.

IF it says they can't talk to them not a message board.

IF the payment went up because you haven't been paying correctly, you'll still have to talk to them and not a message board. If your kids are a concern, shut off whatever it is that allows you to post them and put it on this crazy note from a crazy place.
