      To Whom It May Concern: 

      We want to thank *** ****** ***** for contacting Allied Cash Advance. We understand that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of her loan. We completed an investigation into the matter and advise as of 3/26/2024 5 payments have come due on *** ***** account. The first payment was due on 11/01/2023 and was paid via ACH, which cleared. The second payment due on 12/01/2023 was also paid via ACH, and cleared. On 1/01/2024 the third payment was attempted via ACH, but on 1/05/2024 that payment was returned by *** ***** bank. Due to the return of the payment another attempt was made via ACH on 1/30/2024. On 2/01/2024 the automatic ACH was attempted. Both the ACHs (1/30/204 and 2/01/2024) were returned. On 2/26/2024 again the returned payment was attempted via ACH, but again was returned. After this attempt we will no longer attempt payments through ACH. *** ***** did make 1 debit card payment on 2/28/2024 that satisfied payment # 3. If *** ***** would like to provide bank statements showing payment have cleared we would be more than happy to review the documents but at this time the account is two payments past due.

      Allied Cash Advance has been reporting false information to the credit companies and they have continued to do so for over a year now. They have ruined my credit and when I call to get a reason for the false reporting they say there is nothing they can do but give me a complaint # to call unable to speak to any managers or a corporate office there is zero help with zero explanation. Yet I’ve paid on my original loan amount of 4,500 for over a year now @ $303.99 every 2 weeks and I called for a pay off I was told up to date I owed $4,367.22 with no explanation or reason how or why I would owe almost what I originally borrowed over a year ago yet been paying $303.99 every 2 weeks. The rep I spoke to did not understand why and was unable to find out a reason just apologized and said there was nothing she can do but give me the complaint line #. This ********* * has made me physically and mentally sicker than I have ever been. Any help in regards would be awesome and I am willing to do anything I can to help make sure no other hard working American has to ********* * what they have put me through.

      Business Response

      Date: 10/24/2023

      To Whom it May Concern,
      We want to thank *** ****** for contacting Allied Cash Advance
      regarding his concerns, and we’d like to take this opportunity to address them.

      First, we understand *** ****** believes Allied Cash Advance is
      reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. As previously
      communicated, we have investigated his concerns and confirmed that the reported
      information is true and accurate. A review of his loan history shows the
      customer has been 30-plus days late multiple times, and the company reported
      the payment history as such. We have explained our findings to *** ****** on
      several occasions. We respectfully decline his request to remove the
      information based on our findings.

      Secondly, regarding *** ******’s loan balance, we show that he spoke to
      our store on 10/3/2023, and we provided the requested information to him. A
      review of his account shows he paid the loan off on 10/20/23, and it’s now
      considered Satisfied – Paid in Full. A review of his loan history confirms the
      following:

      Loan
      Amount: $5,000.00
      Principal
      Paid: $5,000.00
      Interest Paid:  $4,160.35
      Remaining Balance as
      of 10/24/23: $0.00

      Please note *** ****** paid his loan off via a debit card. If the
      payment returns, the above information will be null and void.

      *** ****** has expressed concerns with his principal balance, stating
      he doesn’t understand why the balance isn’t decreasing. We have previously
      discussed his concerns and explained how payment apportionment works. We have
      communicated that at the beginning of an installment loan, most of the payment
      is applied to the interest; however, if the customer makes all installments on
      time, more of the payment is applied toward the principal throughout the loan.
      Additionally, we’ve also discussed his late payments with him. As stated
      previously, Ms. Loftin has been late 30-plus days on multiple occasions,
      resulting in additional interest accruing on the loan, which has impacted his
      ability to pay down the principal balance.

      We believe this matter to be settled but if *** ****** has
      additional questions or concerns, he may contact us by visiting www.alliedcash.com/contact.

       

      Sincerely,

      I got a loan from allied cash back in February 2021 for the amount of $2065 was approved for it. The lady that handled it said I was in office in **** ******* to sign the paperwork which was a lie. I was living in ******** when I applied for a remote loan. Fast forward I went to ask for a refinance in the amount of $700 for for roof repairs to my home. I suffered a near fatal heart attack in the process of trying to repair my home that’s why I requested a refinance. But was told that I wasn’t allowed because I’m no longer a resident of *******. I went and talked with the district manager and same thing I’m blocked from getting any loans. But she did approve the original loan So I am currently blocked from getting any loans in Al states because of this.

      Is 155% interest rate legal? I took out a loan while grieving, didn't look at the interest rate nor was it disclosed. I have fully repaid the original loan amount but am expected to continue to pay the interest. Cannot get the company to let me renegotiate the loan.

      We want to thank *** ****** for contacting Check ‘n Go. We
      understand that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of her
      loan and the current payoff amount.  After
      completing an investigation, we found that *** ****** agreed to the terms of her
      Loan Agreement when she signed the contract and took out an installment loan on
      8/13/2022 in the amount of $4,190.00. 
      According to her Loan Agreement, her loan contained an Annual Percentage
      Rate of 155.57%, Finance Charges of $6,469.57, for a Total of Payments in the
      amount of $10,659.57. 

      She is more than welcome to pay off her loan early, which
      would result in a reduction of the daily interest.  The payoff amount changes daily and adjusts
      according to the amount of daily interest accrued.  She may contact customer support at any point
      to request an up to date payoff amount.  She
      can reach customer support at ###-###-####.

      I have went to the business called check and go at the time for a loan for $3,000 I have been paying on the loan for over a year and a half when I never got a notification or paperwork that they had got shut down and I still been paying it until I got a call saying that they could not get funds out of my account anymore. And that they needed me to make my payment immediately after me being aware that they shut down I've been asking for paperwork about my loan but no paperwork has been received I've been getting calls from two different numbers coming back from two different in ******* and now my loan is more for what I got it out and nothing reflects from the $432 payments I've been paying every month on it! When asked for paperwork or something stating that they got shut down and why they moved I get nothing I just get going around in circles and they want my payment they tell me that the interest in each day so now my payment is gone from $432 to over $1,200 within 3 days because of interest I don't know what to do here I'm on a fixed income !!

      We want to thank *** **** for contacting Check ‘n Go
      regarding her installment loan. We understand that there is some confusion with
      the terms and conditions of her loan and the remaining loan balance.

      We completed an investigation into the matter and can
      confirm that she took out an installment loan on 4/22/2022 in the amount of
      $3,500.00, an APR of 123.53% and consisting of 23 monthly payments in the
      amount of $413.66.  *** ****** loan has
      fallen into delinquent statues multiple times with installment payments returned
      by her bank for insufficient funds. 
      These returned payments resulted in extra daily interest added to the
      loan balance and have caused the outstanding balance to increase. 

      *** **** is more than welcome to pay off the loan early
      which would result in daily interest savings over the life of the loan.  If she has any additional questions or would
      like to make a payment, we would encourage her to contact Customer Support at

My first question was if I was in collections with a recovery service why was it not on my credit report? She siad because my credit was not used to open the account, bank verification was. She gave me the banks name and a bank account number. (after the call I went to said bank and verified I have never had an account with that bank under my SS# nor did any account ever exist in the system with the account number she provided). The Lady at *** asked if I ever resided at ****** Street in *****, ******** and I siad no never lived in that state, then asked about my current address in *******. Asked if I ever worked for the VA. I told her they had been a victim of Fraud and I did not owe or had I ever taken out a payday loan from **************. She said she would forward my statement back to *** and expect them to place me in the CHECKS system. ******* would not give me a mailing address for them YESTERDAY my wife gets an email from PARK MEDIATION out of ******** ** with the same accusations. Now upon further research, Allied Cash Does NOT offer services in my Current State, *******, my neighbor states ********* or ******* or ******** (which I have never lived) but was referrenced in the first call. yesterday's email is from ************************** and has a phone number of ###-###-####

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
