Cash Advance America
Queja 291673 Detalles

I have found myself with several medical bills and other expenses and applied for a loan online. One of the (MANY) companies that I was contacted by was Cash Advance America. Everyone I spoke to had a Middle Eastern accent but they claim to operate from Utah (I am in Michigan). Everything seemed very professional, however the quick offer of $5000 at a very low interest rate with the credit rating I have made me suspicious very quickly. They said they had verified my account with my bank (I did not give them my account info) so that they could make sure they would accept a deposit from a foreign company. I ask when did Utah become "foreign" but they ignored that. They then insisted that I "verify" my account further by getting a Green Dot money voucher that would be scanned by them showing that I had the ability to make the first payment. They insisted that they did not take any money and that there were no hidden fees of any kind. I backed out of the deal and they proceeded to call me continuously for the next week. They called 14 times one day! I finally answered the call and the gentlemen told me he was Nigel, the accounts manager and that he would be handling my account personally. I told him of my concerns and he insisted they were legit and offered repeatedly to send me documents and to stay on the phone while the verification and transfer of funds was done. I asked how him telling me things were okay and staying on the phone made the whole deal legitimate? He was very insistent and then told me the verification process was required by the Better Business Bureau also proved they were a legitimate company. Really? I don't think so. Anyway, put an end to this before any money was lost but I am concerned about them having my banking info.
