I was scammed twice and lost $1400!! tried to get my money back from ***** ***********, but stated they were unable to give me my money back. The guy I spoke to stated that they needed my information for verification and personal use. I REALLY need that money back. Want to file a lawsuit, the guy I spoke to his number is: ************ and stated he was from Advance America.

I applied for a loan with advance America online and went through the whole process. Next thing I know my checking account was locked because of suspicious activity. I called my bank and they told me that someone was trying to access my account from a fraudulent device/device connected to fraud. When I called Advance America all they were able to tell me is they are in the process of transferring my loan amount money into my account. I would advise everyone to not apply for a loan online with them.

Bad bad business. Spoke to a George S**** the last few days. Here is a screen shot of the info he sent me. I got scammed into this. They'd drop money into the account and then make me get prepaid cards to pay them back and then put claims on my bank account. Watch out for these people! Their chief financial officer is Edwin B**** and there is a "Lisa" who works in the accounting department. This is what George S**** sent me below. Again beware because they do strange things to your checking account. Advance America, Your per... read more

Horrible. Don't ever get a loan with them. I accidentally paid off the loan of 700 plus dollars. I called immediately to see if I could reverse the amount paid and only pay the 60 dollars I owed. They reversed the amount, but they said my payment was now going to show in default because their computer could not correct the default. Anyway they have called me non stop, even though I have continued to pay above and beyond the 60 dollars owed. Now I only owe roughly 266 dollars and they say I am in default for not making a paym... read more

In 2016 this company claims I took out an advance. According to a phone call I just got from a possible debt collector they didn't feel I paid enough and have added interest charges since 2016 and expect me to pay? It's never been on my credit report as a delinquent account and I've never received mailed correspondence and yet they want me to pay them after 6 years? Seems pretty sketchy and scary!

This ignorant business has been calling me daily for somebody's loan. Try to "opt out", and the auto-call just hangs up. I don't even recognize the person's name they're calling about.

I have had several loans payday and installment loans. The last 2 instalment loans I borrowed $500. They had me paying for 6 months payment and the last 2 they are 18 month of payments. That $2500 payback on a $500 loan. I've contacted them several times and their comment was that the state of Missouri makes them charge that much. I think it's a bunch of crap. I live on SSI and wished I never got any loans from them but at the times I got the loans i really needed the help. I hope people read this and that they go elsewhere ... read more
