  I applied for a personal loan, which was approved. Their website says the loan would be funded in 24h. I did the application over the weekend, and when I kept checking the status, it said pending funding. I checked Saturday, I checked Sunday, and it was always in the same status. I assumed the loan wasn’t being processed in 24 hours because it was the weekend and they were closed. on Monday, I logged into my account and the pending funding status was no longer there. There was a message asking me to call them, which I did. I spoke to someone ***** *** **** *********** *** ***** she told me that because I did not except the email money transfer or because my bank blocked the transfer the application was canceled. I told her that I never received a e-transfer notification. I kept asking the representative to confirm where the money was sent and she was not able to tell me. I asked to speak to a manager and she refused. She said her manager would call me back in one business day, but no one called me back. *** **** ***** ****** *** ** ** **** ** ** **** *** **** ***** ** ** **** *** *** **** ** ******* ** **** ******* ******** ** ********* *** * *** ** *** ***** ***** *** **** *** ***** ******* ****** ** ******* Later that day or the next day, i tried to chat with someone who told me the same thing…the loan has been canceled. the funds were never sent to me , no attempt was made to contact me, and when I asked if the notification could simply be resent, they said that was impossible because the application was canceled. I was advised to reapply and I said no because that would be a bother hit on my credit bureau , I want the Credit bureau entry of February 9 to be removed from my credit bureau. I never received the funds from money Mart and no one for money mart even tried to help me out with my concern. **** ***************

  Dec 28th 2023, I went to Money Mart to use the ******* ***** service ( as I have at least 5 times in the past 12 months ) I was receiving money sent to me from my father. The information details excluding the special receiver number that is required to access the funds was exactly the same * My father and I share the same last name* For Christmas and to help me out my father sent $200. As well as knowing all required info ( sender name, location, amount, currency, code ) I used my Canadian citizenship card, which has my picture, full name, height, date of birth, signature, date issued, and citizenship number. For some reason they wouldnt accept that as ID, my other ID I had expired ( drivers license expired oct 21st my birthday 2023, which I could tell them was the last time I was at their location receiving money and that was the ID I used so the information is still in their system). * *** ** * *** ******** ******** * ****** *** *** * **** ******** ** *** ******* ******* I cant drive therefore wasnt able to renew my drivers license when it expired in Oct. I had my passport as ID aswell but that expired July 23rd 2023, I had my health card with me aswell doesnt expire until 2027. Now I checked with the Service Canada- Canadian passport as long as its not used for travelling is valid form of ID upto 6 months after expiration date and Drivers license valid for of ID up to 1 year after expiry. As for healthcard it is illegal for it to be requested unless it is for medical reasons however if it is offered volunteerily that is acceptable. Considering I knew all the details of the ******* ***** transaction, I had my Citizenship card - ** passport, drivers license, healthcard, I was refused my money. I had to go to service ontario use the same ID they refused, pay $35 to get the Ontario Photo ID card- now waiting 4-6 weeks for delivery, I am in desperate need of my money- I do not understand why the most important form of ID I have ( citizenship card ) is not acceptable

  I got a clean report with ********** For some reasons I’ve had issues with errors with ******* with wrong information reporting which has been corrected. This item from money mart remains which I’ve spent hours contacting the company to remove this wrong information. I’ve spoken to an agent there who confirmed to me there’s a mismatch with my social insurance number as well as address. This company needs to realize there’s countless people with this name

  i use to get good service from money mart, but gone so far downhill i totally wish i never dealt with them now. i have an installment loan, like so many ive had some struggles but kept making my payments. I asked to refinance to extend my term out, lowering my monthly payments, was told i could online, but in fact i couldnt do it, they then said they couldnt help. I asked if my upcoming payment could be deferred or delayed. I was told i needed to call the store i dealt with. So i did, they told me they couldnt do anything to help. So i called back the main line, this time used their texting service, told them i wouldnt have to cancel the payment with my bank since they wouldnt help, then they told me they would stop the payment, but after she checked my account she said sorry the payment was already queued up so she couldnt stop it. Its 5 days away still but she couldnt help, and when i asked why wasnt this done when i called a week ago she said they made a mistake and how sorry they were. So now i have to pay my bank fees, take a hit on my credit rating to stop the payment that they refuse to do. * ***** ***** **** ******** ***** ** **** ***** ********* ** **** ** **** *** *** *** *** ******** ********* ******** ** **** **** **** ****** **** ********* ** **** ********* *** **** ******** *** ******** ** ******* * ********* **** ******** ***** *** * *** **** ******** **** *** *** ** **** *** ********* **** *** **** * **** **** ** *********** ******* *** **** ****

  On Aug.30 I went in and paid off my loan to money mart in full. In return I re borrowed $1200, on sept 1 money mart pulled $740 from my account when my loan payment wasn’t due until sept 15. I called the customer care line and got told there was nothing they could do to help me and that I would have to wait 10 business days. After 10 business days I called again and was told again there was nothing they could do and that it was “ an issue with the back room” I ended up having to put a stop payment on the loan that was due on the 15th of sept because they were still withholding more of my money then I owed because I couldn’t afford it. I called again sept 21 and was told I would have to wait yet again another 10-15 business days before I would hear a resolve.

  I applied for a installment loan and was approved for $4000.00. I received the email with the password to accept the etransfer, but never received the etransfer. This was on August 5th, 2023. I have called them numerous times since then, and they tell me the same thing every time, that my complaint is being expedited and will take 5-7 business days. It's been 5 weeks and I'm still not getting an answer. They are taking payments out of my account for this loan, I have sent them numerous bank statements showing i haven't received it. They say it is active on their end, but I do not have it. I'm getting really frustrated and tired of being brushed off. I just want them to send me the loan that I am paying for. I have uploaded a copy of the contract that shows I was approved, as well as bank statements and the amount of money they have taken from me so far. I am hoping that contacting you will get the results I deserve, as they are not willing to help me. I just keep being told thank you for your patience, but my patience with them is wearing thin. I need help to resolve this issue. I don't know who else to contact.

  I had taken an instalment loan out from Money Mart for a large amount. On August 23/2023 I worked with my financial institution and they had sent a substantial payment to Money Mart that was actually over the amount due. On August 28/2023 this payment was still not reflected on my balance so I contacted Money Mart headquarters. I was told that the payment had a hold on it and I needed to pay off an arrears of 315.00 in order for them to process this large payment. The payment that was made was 600.00+ more that’ll the loan itself. So I contacted the ********* branch and she was very helpful. The arrears were paid. So I called head office again on August 30/2023 to inquire as to why the large payout was not reflecting on my account? I was told there was no record of it which was not true considering I spoke to some about this earlier. Interest is still accumulated on this instalment loan and there is a scheduled payment coming out again this week for another 315.00. I confirmed the payment with my financial institution and the payment was indeed made. So now come this Friday I will be paying a total of $600 plus on a loan that should have been settled and closed on August 23/2023. They are delaying this transaction and charging me 46% interest daily. I want this settled and my account closed and all excess funds returned to me plus the interest they tacked onto the balance since August 23/2023. **** ** ********* ******* ** *** *******
