On 8/18 I contacted CashNetUSA about changing my day of payment from Tuesdays to Fridays as I had recently started a new job and my payday had changed. I received an email around 4 am on 8/20 that was sent on 8/19 at 6:18 pm wanting me to respond by 6:30 pm on the 19th to change my payday in their system. Unfortunately I obviously didn't receive the email in time and even if I had, that gave me only 12 minutes to respond. Since I wasn't able to respond by their 12 minute deadline, they would not allow me to change my payday and will be attempting to withdraw the funds on the 23rd, causing me to have to pay my bank for a stop payment. Additionally as soon as they were open on the 20th I called customer service and spoke with an agent about this issue who despite having full access to the communication records didn't understand what I was talking about and stuck to me needing to pay on the 23rd, offering no solution and no apologies for the underhanded tactic of literally waiting 12 minutes before a deadline to send a response and expecting it to go through and for the client to receive it, read it and respond in that timeframe.Business Response

On February 16, 2022, ******************* was funded a $1,000.00 Installment loan with CashNetUSA. Before she entered the agreement, CashNetUSA disclosed the Terms and Conditions associated with the loan, including the Loan Duration, Annual Percentage Rate, Finance Charge, Amount Financed, Total of Payments and the Payment Schedule. ******************** then signed her loan agreement acknowledging that she understood and accepted the terms and conditions associated with the installment loan.
Based on our review, ******************** had two (2) payments due on August 23, 2022. ******************** previously contacted our customer service department and scheduled a due date adjustment for installment number 12 originally due on August 9, 2022 to August 23, 2022. In addition, ******************** also had a regularly scheduled payment due on August 23, 2022.
On August 18, 2022, ******************** contacted our customer service department and requested to update her pay frequency and adjust the due date of the upcoming payments due on August 23, 2022 via email. As such, a confirmation email was sent to ******************** advising that we have updated her pay frequency and adjusted one of the payment due dates to August 26, 2022, however, we did not properly advise her of adjusting the other payment due date. We apologize for the confusion this matter has caused. However, please note, ******************** only had one payment due on August 23, 2022. Therefore, we only debited her account one time.
Further in our review, ******************** again contacted our customer service department and was able to adjust installment number 13 due date to September 26, 2022. At this time, ******************** has two (2) payments due on September 6, 2022. Again, we apologize for the confusion. CashNetUSA values ******************** as a customer and strives to provide the ultimate customer experience therefore; if ******************** has any additional questions regarding her account we ask that she please contact our customer service department at ************ for assistance.
We hope that this response resolves this complaint and answers any questions that your office has. If we can provide more information, please contact us.Initial Complaint

I currently have a line of credit open with cashnetusa, Customer #********. When I applied for the credit they did not mention at all that the interest is %299 of the loan amount. They also did not have my permission to increase my loan amount which in turn increases the bi-weekly payment amount. I called in July of 2022 to request they stop increasing the line of credit. They told me it will not happen again. They increased the line again anyways without my consent. This has caused my bi-weekly payments to increase more than I can pay. Furthermore only 20% of the payments go toward the outstanding balance, the rest is spent on unknown fees, and interest which can vary at their own discretion. When I asked about these expenses they were not willing to explain or provide an itemized receipt of how the payment is spent. I am requesting this line of credit to be dropped and my balance cleared due to this.Business Response

In addition, the fees and interest applicable to a cash advance were fully explained in the agreement, a copy of which was provided to his (via email)when he opened the account.

As set forth in his line of credit agreement, the credit limit assigned to him may increase.
In addition to disclosing the charging structure from the outset, we keep our customers informed by supplying periodic statements. Amongst other loan details, the due date, minimum payment amount, and account balance are shown on each periodic statement.
As set forth in *************** line of credit agreement, there is an interest associated with the line of credit, which is applied daily to the amount borrowed that is outstanding that day. Further, interest is charged on principal and not on fees or accrued interest.
As set forth in **************** line of credit agreement, in addition to interest, there is also a transaction fee.

Over the course of his relationship with CashNetUSA he has requested several advances.
Based on our review, ************** contacted our customer service department regarding how the line of credit product works and he was advised of the aforementioned. In addition, his request to disable all credit limit increases has been honored.
CashNetUSA strives to provide the ultimate customer experience and we would be more than willing to address any outstanding questions or concerns that ************** may have regarding his account. Therefore, we ask that he contact our customer service department at ************ for assistance.

I signed up for a loan with this company. The due dates were to coincide with my pay schedule. I have called and provided information to the company since June 24th to have my due date updated as requested. Each time I am told they are working on it. Each time i have called I have asked to speak with a Manager. Each time I am told one will call me back however that hasnt happened. I received an email stating my due dates were updated and my next payment is due 08.19.2022. I receive an email last night stating they are pulling a payment on 08.12.2022 (not authorized by me). Now my account is overdrawn due to their negligence. I called and spoke with a Rep who was unable to assist me in getting this resolved. Manager is supposed to call me but that doesnt resolve the issue of a payment being pulled a week earlier. NO ONE is able to help and Managers NEVER call. Worst company I have dealt with in my life (not joking at all) and I would NEVER recommend them to anyone no matter the situation. I have attached documentation showing when my payment was to be due even though they sent to my bank for the 12th of August. I am seeking a response from Company along with them helping me with my billing date adjustment. Thank youBusiness Response

The transaction was initially in 2009. Cashnet USA debited my account twice instead of once on initial payment. This caused my account to be overdrawn. Next I was threatened with legal action from debt management 2013, 2017 and in 2022. This was due to multiple agencies having my information. I was collected from three times. My credit is fair and these attempts to ruin my credit are horrendous. Not fair business practice but extortion.Business Response
