      I am not sure how it is legal for this company to still be in business. I have told them numerous times to take my account off of auto draft and they have not done it, they continue to draft my bank account after my wishes. Their predatory fees are extremely high and I was not told I would have to pay bi-weekly cause of my paychecks. I have checked all of my documents that I signed and NONE of them state that I had to pay bi-weekly. No matter how bad you need money do not get a loan with this company. They need to be added to the action lawsuit with ****** ***.

      0/10 It’s a scam. I took a 200 hundred dollar loan and never got the money. They said I did and have a payment soon. I called and said I never got the money and don’t want to be charged for something I never got. She said we’ll have to wait and see if your bank sends it back. This was on 4/19. How is this place still allowed to be running?

      I wished I saw these reviews. Needed a quick loan and I applied I was approved but never receive the money. I didn’t initiate an ach it did automatically, my bank said they don’t see any pending transactions and my balance goes up daily due to interest. ITS BEEN A WEEK I DIDNT RECEIVE THE MONEY BALANCE GOING UP. I found another loan same day and longer interested

      Run!!! I opened my account in December payments are supposed to be $162 I am one payment behind and now my payments range from $207- $230 like why. Not only that but they charge me $30 for late fees how when you draft from my account!! That's on you. My payments are never the same amount, like this is crazy. I refuse to put my debit card on here. Because if you have my bank account than payment shouldn't be late. The balance isn't decreasing either. In this month I would have paid them three times that's not every two weeks, I didn't authorize you to take from account any time you feel like it. Immediately stopped payment.

      Singed up for this thinking it was a good deal and I needed the cash. Been using them for a few months. Reviewed my account because my balances should be going down, but they are not. they have been taken over $200 from every checking but only apply $15 towards the loan., that is $370 a month on a $3k loan. This has to be illegal and I am looing into it. There is not way I am going to continue to pay that much interest. Stay Away!

      Stay away from these people. They will scam you!!! I literally have submitted the same document (tax form) at least 50x in the last two days just for them to reject it without saying why. So I call them and they say it's because of such and such. I fix that error and they reject it again..it's such a vicious cycle, I'm done trying with them. Do not ever do business with these scammers. They just want to steal your identity.

      I was approved for $1200, i got the money and used it as intended but when it came to refunding the money back i can't seem to able to reduce a significant potion of the principle amount. When i couldn't pay being a student and all the interest kept raacking up, can you believe i now owe them $2107. How did it get this bad. I barely think i can afford to pay that much, while im barely able to pay my own tuition fee. These guys aren't the best if you can't pay the whole money back in a single payment its all or nothing for them or you incure a 399% interest everyday on your principle amount.

      AF sent not one, but two “pre-approved” letters (within 4 months) quoting I’ve been approved for $4,000. I’m not super desperate for the cash, but a few extra bucks wouldn’t hurt. I applied and was approved for $1,750 - less than what they originally told me in the letters. AF asked for additional documents, such as bank verification, 2 most recent paycheck stubs, and ID. I submitted all requested docs, and the site advised they’re reviewing and preparing my agreement to sign. Two hours later, I get an email regarding a decision. Turns out, AF declined my application due to a bank verification issue. When completing the bank verification, I logged into my online banking portal through AF’s system and it confirmed the verification was successful. I have a pretty good credit score, and I make decent money every month, so the denial doesn’t make sense to me. I honestly feel like AF is phishing for our personal information… After reading the REAL reviews, this loan rejection was a blessing in disguise. Advance Financial, you should be ashamed of yourself. Consumers, please find another way. I promise, your situation will get better. Just stay far away from Advance Financial! It looks like AF’s plan is to keep you debt. RUN!

      If I could give it 0 stars I would. This company is scamming people and they are vague about how they calculate payments and they charge an insane percentage rate they should be shut down and taken to court this is a scandal!

      I am happy and appreciate the service I received from Advance Financial 247. Their website was easy to navigate, allowing me to find the information I needed quickly. Every detail about their financial services is clearly outlined, making it easy for me to understand my options. I felt well-informed throughout the entire process, which is often a rarity in the financial sector. The night I was online searching for an emergency loan, Advance Financial 247 made an easy process for me to borrow what I needed.
