RIP OFF

Ameriloan - RIP OFF
I took out a short term payday loan in november of 2012. I had to pay 190.00 back.I was told by a represenative that my payments would be 45.00 every two weeks until paid in full. As Janurary approached i thought my payments payments were at a close. Well to my surprise i still owed over 100.00 and on 1-18-13 they took 95.00 more and still saying i owe more. Montell Williams sponsers the crooked loansharks. I went to a website for pissed consumers and saw that i'm not the only person getting screwed. Help me.

I know this is a bit of an old thread but I had to chime in here.

these are NOT deceptive practices, they are *** for sure but NOT deceptive. deceptive would mean that they were trying to hide the actual fees which they CAN"T by law or she could sue them.

she, unlike MANY MANY others get taken in by the quick loans without reading fully into how the repayments work and how much they will owe in interest.

I learned this the hard way so I can say from experience. that being said you could close your account as the other person suggested then deal with the risk/consequences of doing so as they could then take you to court/sue for the amount still owed and claim you're trying to avoid a valid debt.

Guest

I have a solution to your problem close your accounts, so there aren't able to debit you any more due to deceptive practices

DO NOT USE THIS LENDER. I was SCREWED by these shysters

I took out a six hundred and fifty dollar ($650.00) loan from these crooks and ended up repaying over $2,500.00 for that payday loan. I found myself in need, and these folks were more than happy to take advantage of it. Had I not reviewed my payment history, I never would have known they were bleeding me dry. That $2,500.00 figure would only have grown, as they NEVER seek a payoff, rather only seeking to satisfy their "fees." I will never again use this lender, and can only advise you that you avoid them as well.

Abusive

I wished I had done a iquiry with AMERILOAN. I saved a letter that came through my mail about cash advance loan. So I called the number and instructed me to go online to apply. I requested for a $400 loan. I checked off the agreement and I get paid bi-weekly. The first 2 pay period was $120.00 and then $520.00 on the next pay day. Ok, they taken out the $520.00 on Friday then the next day they replaced $400.00 back into my account and then today they took it out again and there are no funds in my accounts. Therefore I have a $35.00 overdraft fee. I called my bank to file the complaint and they told me to close my account asap. After reading many consumers complaints I'm going to put an end to this early. No matter how desperate I get I will never ever do this again!

Reporter looking for Ameriloan customers

Hi, I am a reporter in Oklahoma who is trying to contact Ameriloan customers about the company. I am especially interested in talking with people who have done business with the company in the past month. Please call Brianna at 405-475-****. I want to hear your stories. The company is owned by an Indian tribe in Oklahoma. you can also e-mail me at bbailey@***.com . Has Ameriloan taken money out of your bank account? Has the company missrepresented its repayment payment schedule? Have they threatened you with a law suit or arrest for nonpayment? I want to hear about it.

People don't read the fine print. This company is legit, and if you understand that there is a fee that you're charged, then you won't be angry.

They take money out of YOUR account that YOU AGREED TO. Obviously people are in such a hurry to get a loan and not read the entirety of what they're giving their personal information to.

Also, no one from the company ever threatens to take you to jail, that is NOT Ameriloan. You obviously took out loans elsewhere, in addition to Ameriloan.

If I had to guess Keek, I would guess that YOU work for Ameriloan. If you by some chance don't work for them, then you must have dusted off the 'ol pompoms and decided to try to get a job with them. Either way, you are a scab.

Legit my butt. This so called legit company need to be shut down and made to repay all the money they have stolen off of people.

Guest

I had gotten a $300 loan sometime last year. They took what they said and it was paid off.

Yes, it is a ridiculous interest rate but it's also an unsecured loan. My transactions were smooth and I didn't have any problems at all.

Guest

The same thing happened to me! I got a $200 loan and they did not inform me that the $60 they were taking out was a finance charge.

I call and talk to the person and they couldn't do anything for me. Complete rip off!

Guest

My mom got a 300 dollar loan from them. They told her over the phone that her first payment wouldn't be til the first of Jan 2013.

They took the first payment in Dec. She has already paid 500 dollars back to them, as they withdraw automatically. She called them and they said her balance is 412. They failed to tell her that 75 dollars of her bill she was paying every 2 weeks was a finance charge.

So for a 300 loan my mom will have paid them 914 dollars!!!! She never signed anything as this was all over internet and phone.

PLEASE DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! SCAMMMMSSSS!!!!

GO to the bank and close her account and reopen another, then they can't touch her money! They are ripoffs and won't stop.

Over charged interist rate

In June of 2012 There was a death in my family, in Michigan. I needed some cash to get there. I barowed $300.00. Thank the Lord for the money. That has been 10 months ago. for the first4 months after that they took $900.00 out of my account. Thinking that the loan was paid off. I sent them a thank you note. lol They replied to me telling me that I still owed them $300.00 that the $90.00 that they had taken out (for 4 months) was just to renew the loan... as of today April 3 2013 I have paid Ameriloan back,(are you ready for this)$975.00 This is not what the contract stated on paying this $300.00 back at all. They have really put a big hurting on me, I am disabled, living on a fixed income an this company is doing this to people like me. Do NOT use AMERILOAN They will use you up.

Don't just complain, do something!!! It's easy

All states have a department of financial institutions. All lenders lending in that state are to be licensed to do business in that state. Many states have laws that state if these or any payday loan companies are not licensed in that state, THEY CAN'T COLLECT ANY LOAN THEY HAVE MADE IN THAT STATE! It also states in most cases, that not only they can't collect that loan, they can't harass you. Instead of just ranting and raving about how ignorant you all are, turn that ignorance qinto some research that is easy to do on the net regarding the laws where you live!! When you find the law, search to see if the company is licensed in that state, most aren't. And they know you don't know this. Wise up!!! And do some work. Good luck

I have been taking out loans with Ameriloan for almost 8 years. The have always been paid off in full and ontime. My last pymt on my loan is $130 to be paid off this Sept. I chose to pay it in full. When i talked to them and told them I wanted a new loan next month after this was paid they said I would be denied. I asked why and still no anwer. I have paid them thousands of dollars in interest the past 8 years and I refuse to pay them one more dollar. I stopped payment on this last payment with my bank. they will not get one more cent from me ...so sue me if you can

For the Anonymous person that wrote that harsh comment, its not about budgeting your money if you've had financial hardship like being in the hospital due to a hit an run and you have no credit so please keep your comments to your self. The people on this board are asking questions, and are being responsible by paying back the loan back.

I need Help

I got a 300 loan out, I have been doing the normal 60 bucks a month until I could pay it off in full. Then suddenly in stopped, a few weeks later they took out 100 at an unscheduled time. Now they call me from various numbers, and various names saying that they are a sheriffs department and that I need to pay them off or face jail time. I have the money to pay them off but they are asking me to mail it in, all at once. I just need advice on what do I do, who do I talk to!? Thanks!

The company is not allowed to state that they are going to take you to jail. They also can't, don't get worried.

Just set up a payment plan with them, or pay "LIVE MONEY" at random when you have it! Call the # back, and speak with them about your options, they will truly work with you :) Good Luck

Guest

If anyone threatens you, it won't be Ameriloan. I've dealt with AML before, and even if you don't agree with the rates, they won't do that to you.

Call AML and tell them you are being scammed. AML can send you a copy of your balance to prove they are legit, and everyone else is fake.

$500 Xmas Advance = $1445+

u·su·ry (yzh-r) n. pl. u·su·ries 1. The practice of lending money and charging the borrower interest, especially at an exorbitant or illegally high rate. 2. An excessive or illegally high rate of interest charged on borrowed money. 3. Archaic Interest charged or paid on a loan. [Middle English, from Medieval Latin sria, alteration of Latin sra, from sus, use; see Ameriloan.] Emotional about holidays and did not read documents thoroughly. My ***, I know. But my $500 loan taken out before Christmas keeps getting larger and larger -- providing that they don't keep adding additional fees, I have paid $870 so far, and the stated "pay in full" amount is $585 -- that's $1445 total. Again, my fault, but states have laws against this kind of usury. Why doesn't my state? Can I join a class action lawsuit? Is there one?

THE WORST LENDERS EVER!!!

First off this company customer services is very disgusting (red flag), however the loan amount that you take out, please do add another $100 plus more towards that loan. Needless to say I took out a loan from this company twice the first time they was very polite and the customer service rep explain to me my payment option and etc. ,at that time I didn't feel rob. So I insist to take another loan with them around Christmas just for extra funds for present. My loan was for $150.00 plus $45.00,Each week you pay a total of $45.00 however I was happy to be on my 5th payment I thought i was paying this loan off but when I check my loan status balance it report $195.00 and my next payment is $95.00, I was disappointed. When call to find out what the reason for this, they didn't have an soiled answer. I immdelaty ask to speak to supervisor because the rep was screaming at me and he didn't have solider answer I know longer want to speak to him, so the supervisor advice me to just pay off full balance to avoid any more problems. This company should be shut down, they are a scam and ripp off. All you doing is paying the bank for nothing and your Last couple of payment is when you actually paying off your loan. I ADVICE TO GO ESLEWHERE, THEY NOT WORTH IT!!! (Hope this make sense I'm writing with angry)

Ripped off

This company gave me a loan for $305.00. I agreed to repay a $90.00 finance fee plus the amount of the loan. Some other company stated to draft money from my account. I called Ameriloan. Told them to stop taking money from my account. Until i straighten out the other issue. And I would mail them the money. So what do, they do continue to attempt to draft money from my account.Now I am stuck with a $600.00 over draft balance with my bank and they still want another $575.00. After getting $240.00 from my account.

Insulted and always harassed by ameriloan staff.

To whome it may concern;Sometime last year i recived a call from 180******** looking for a female. I told them that i dont know her and can u please notified it on your computer and the staff told me yes i will. But i still recieving phone calls from them all the time and i dont answer them anymore. But they still kept on calling and i notified them alot of times that thus is not her number and can u please note it on your computer and the staff said yes he will. But they keep on calling that makes me pissed and more pissed that one day on January 17, 2013 at 5:27pm i recieved a phone call again and he looked for a woman and i told him that she no longer owned tbis number but he told me that if i can wrife his number i answered him no. He told me that why "u cant read and write" and hung up. And i called the same number and asked if he the one who called he hung up again. I called again and Mark Davis answer and spoke to me what number was called i gave my number and i asked him what company is this and told me AMERILOAN and he told me and that it should not be happen, and he told me he will note again that she no longer own the number that they was calling. But until now they still kept on calling and calling. I feel like insulted and being harassed by Ameriloan company staff. This staff is not professional on handling a job and approaching a person through phone calls. I hope somebody can help me because i still felt so bad about it and this kind of situation should be handle for it to stop and wont happen again and it will only stop if somebody pursue this kind of issues to the business bureau.

They keep calling because someone had previously given out your number, stating that THEY were the owner of that phone, and that the company could contact them at that # - if someone borrowed money from you and gave you a phone # wouldn't you call that number multiple times assuming that it was the person who had borrowed your money? On top of that, imagine how many people in this world are NOT honest and LIE saying that they have the wrong #, when in reality it is probably the RIGHT #.. All debt collection companies will continue to try to contact the individual for their money, and again so would you had someone borrowed money from you.

Guest

I work there and no one would have told you that you can't read and write without being fired. We have a thing, just like every other call center, called quality assurance.

300.00 loan

This company is very very bad. I was desperate and I got a $300.00 loan from them in september. I have been paying that loan since october 2012. They told me I still owe more. They made a 300.00 loan into close to 1000.00 loan. I advise people dont do business with them. This company takes advantage of people in need. I wish I could fight them. Now I am more in desperate situation than I was last year because they are taking a big chunk from my income. Ameriloan is a company that scam people. Ameriloan does not help people, they scam and take advantage of them. Please Iadvice you all dont do business with them go to ligimate lending company.

Do NOT Trust this Company

Whatever you do! do NOT deal with Ameriloan! They are a rip off loan company that does not disclose the entire truth upon applying for and obtaining a loan with them! And even if you are able to pay them off - down the road they will call you and "pretend" that you have an existing loan with them! AND BEWARE of emails from them. If you were unfortunate enough to get scammed by them; and were forturnate enough to FINALLY pay them OFF. do NOT ever deal with them again and delete any and all emails from them and do not accept any phone calls from them. Also WARNING THEY ARE RUDE AND will not divuldge who THEY are until YOU tell them who YOU ARE!! BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!

AMERILOAN IS A RIP-OFF! DO NOT USE, EVER!

On an original $350.00 loan, and (4) payments of $105.00, only now will I be paying toward my principal, sort of. My current balance is $455.00. So as I have been paying more than $200.00 per month, my principal balance has been going UP instead of DOWN. I am currently scheduled to pay $105.00 + $50.00 toward my principal. At this rate, it will be a very distant goal to pay these people off. I WISH I HAD NEVER DONE ANY BUSINESS WITH AMERILOAN. This does not seem to be on the up and up.. DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - EVER.
