      I was contacted by this company via text for two days. When I finally responded and decided not to apply for the loan their text became rude. When I said I was going to report to BBB they threatened to contact my bank or some crap. Unbelievably Unprofessional. For them to threaten me was my answer

      I only give them one star because it's nothing lower. I applied for an online loan through Advance America. They let me know I was approved and it would take 24 hours for funds to be entered in my account. Next day, they reached out saying my credit score wasn't high enough so they would send me funds to send to another company to boost my credit score. In actuality, they went in my personal bank account and filed claims for me to send to them

      I was approved for a loan by a guy who claimed his name was Mark W*****. After going through all the loan process, I was told that they would make a small deposit in my account and o was to return it. Or they would work through a creditor o have to make the payment. This is not what was advertised and sounded like a scam. I told them to cancel the process and immediately changed my bank account information. They even tried to claim o accepted a loan from them on December and never returned the deposit. I did no such thing. This is a scam out of California. Even after I told them off, they called back! I will be reporting them to the authorities I have to gove them a star bit done feel they deserve it.

      Will be seeking legal action against this company… Have been receiving harassing and threatening phone calls from someone saying they represent AA and will be serving me papers at place of employment. Keep calling and harassing me. Always hang up after they threaten me.

      I don't know anything about the real business named Advanced America except today they denied my request for a loan. A few days ago I was contacted by a man named Eric F****** He claimed to be an employee of Advanced America and my loan request had been approved. I had applied with several loan companies and I thought Advanced America was one of them. Well, I was scammed and nearly had my checking account emptied. Fortunately the fraud department at my bank caught the transaction before it occurred. I found out today the IP address used for the transaction was from the Maldives. Someone is passing themselves off as employees of Advanced America so please be very careful if you are in the process of securing a loan. Just a warning!

      Horrible customer service via chat and phone. ZERO STARS should be an option. All I wanted was to get an email address to which I could forward two suspicious email solicitations, which were follow-ups to illegal telemarketing solicitations. Advance America gives pathetic lip service to combatting fraud.

      They were very polite I also am disappointed they advertise they mis lead about credit check bad credit approve and no credit check but when I left I was only denied based off not having enough credit but yall advertise bad credit approved no credit check that very misleading I have in writing from you guys I was only denied for not have enough credit history but it strange I made the income 4x what's required . I think yall should not claim bad credit or no credit check because that's untrue for you guys state because you guys do use credit as requirement and it's also state credit has to be above 850 to be approved service was good shouldn't say something that's not true tho
