Around I would say June or July the payday loan company Check n Go abruptly closed with no notification to its customers. I contact them for several months with no return calls. Finally when I did contact and associate at the ********** St location they said they no longer were involved. I don't know how many were affected. Later I keep receiving this callee who at first would not identify themselves. At the last straw I called the number back it was a company of ********** **********. They were rude and abrupt. I hung up. I called back got a you lady D*****. We talked for a while and she begin to tell me about the debt which started out just being a loan for$575.00. She keep saying interest for the time, and I said how is that when there was a flat loan of 575.00 and the company close on their own with know warning. I have paid in over$547.60 since January 2024 started in January. Also in September some hacked my bank account with a ******* Bank and it had to be placed on hold cause all of my Social Security money's and retirement from the Stat of ****** was being affected. Strutted Settlement was drawing 68.45 each month. I am willing to pay the remainder of the 575.00 but I can't afford any more. Besides that they never sent me paperwork when I agreed to allow them in my account. I can trust people anymore. Please advise what to do. I am not going to pay an astronomically amount for a 500.00 payday loan. Thank you in advance for your help.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
We want to thank Ms. ****** ********* for contacting Check 'n Go regarding her previous loan. We understand that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of her loan. We completed an investigation into the matter and advise when closing any of our locations we do the utmost to notify the customers of the decision. An email was sent to all customers explaining the closure of the store and detailing next steps. Store associates should have also explained when Ms. ********* took her last loan.
Our records indicate that the loan defaulted and was sold to ********** ********** ************ on 04/05/2023 with a balance of $575. For any questions or concerns, please contact the Third-Party agency directly at ************. We would have no additional information as we are not the current owner and have not contacted Ms. ********* since the date of sale. If Ms. ********* has made payments with ********** ********** we would have no record of that since we no longer own the debt.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.I never recieve an email from Check n Go. I contacted them at a ******** branch and they said they didn't know anything about ****** closures of their store. Next thing I knew ********** ********** was wanting an astronomical amount for a 575.00 loan. I totalled what I have paid so far sine January of 547.00 and I can't afford much more. I have since taken on a health problem with my eyes which with appointments and medication is draining me.

I currently owe three payments on my loan. I want to pay off my loan early to decrease the amount of interest I would owe, to save me money. In there agreement there is no penalty to pay off the loan early. However, they are using tactics, like not answering their phone so you cannot get the actual payoff amount. Additionally, when you go to log into your account you are only able to make a payment early, there no place to ask for a payoff amount or to pay more than the current payment. Also, there is a button for you to refinance, but no button to payoff the loan. I start calling at around 1:00pm trying to get the payoff amount. It is currently 4:23pm CST time and 24 minutes in and I am still not able to get anyone on their customer service line to get the amount to pay off this loan. This is deceptive marketing of being able to pay off loan early.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.(I still had to pay more interest on the loan due to their business practices of not allowing me to pay off the loan online versus allowing me to refinance the loan. Additionally their phone system is inadequate to take the number of calls to pay off the loan or talk to anyone in customer service. I do not believe this is an oversight but indeed a business practice in an attempt to get as much interest from the client as possible. Had my phone call been replied to same day or been able to pay online, I would have paid a lot less interest.TYPE YOUR REASONS HERE)

I am writing to file a complaint regarding my AXCSSFN/CNGO account (Account #: ******XX, Date Opened: 12/11/2019). There is incorrect information associated with this account that is negatively impacting my credit report.
I have made timely payments and followed all account guidelines, yet despite my efforts to resolve the issue directly with AXCSSFN/CNGO, the inaccuracies remain. This error is unfairly affecting my credit score, causing financial hardship.
I kindly request that AXCSSFN/CNGO correct this error and update my credit report to reflect accurate information. I expect prompt action on this matter to avoid further harm to my credit standing.Business Response

*** called trying to collect on a pay day loan from 2018 that has been resolved for over 10 years. I worked for **** county court system and my car was broken into and my day planner was stolen that resulted in numerous fraud accounts being opened this being one of them. A police report was filed right after the issue in 2018. *** also contacted my exe of 30 years making thre*** to my exe this time. I have given this story to over four collection companies even giving them police report for the incident. This is not my debt or my loan I was told by transwest credit union to shut my account due to the fraud linked to it. They are stating they want to garnish my wages. This is not accurate and I’ve explained this over the years. I do not have any documentation for this bc it was in 2018Business Response

I took out an installment loan from this business a year ago. Every paycheck they took 163 out. It was a 1375.00 loan. I made consistent payments though I will admit I had missed two this year. However, I paid them both off and got my account up to date. I called to verify this before my last payment and the employee I spoke to over the phone confirmed that I only had one payment left of 163.27. I check my account after paying that August 28th and it now says I owe the full balance of my loan and to call them. It called the hotline and it said I owed around $800 on the loan. It’s outside of business hours so I can’t get this resolved with an employee just yet but I’m making this complaint anyway because even with the two missed payments it would’ve been mathematically impossible for that much interest to accumulate on them before I caught them up. I’ve put it into multiple calculators and have crunched the numbers myself as well to make sure. I’ve seen online that many other people have experienced predatory business practices with this lender and I will be calling in the morning to get this resolved. If it does not get resolved I will be taking legal action.Business Response

We want to thank *** ********* ****** for contacting Check 'n Go regarding her past due account. We understand that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of her loan. We completed an investigation into the matter and advise *** ******'s loan was taken on 9/15/2023 in the amount of $1375. The first 5 payments were made on time, but the 6th payment on 12/05/2023 was returned. Regular payments then continued for payments 7- 15. Payment 16 from 4/23/2024 was also returned. Payment 17 was then made on time. Payment 18 from 5/21/2024 was then returned. Payments 19-24 were made on time. On 8/22/2024 *** ****** did pay the 3 returned payments but when each payment was returned it accrued daily interest until paid. The full balance remaining on the loan is $848.48. This balance would need to be paid for the loan to be closed as paid in full.

Back in late 2016, I took a small loan and waiting for my accident settlement to come in to pay the load off. I paid it entirely off in 2017. Now, I just was contacted that Check n Go currier told me Check n Go is threatening me for non payment and they want me to pay them $3509.58 to settle. I was never contacted by anyone that I owed any money and I moved into a new home 3 years ago and still have never been contacted. I want this removed as I do not owe them anything!! I do not have any of the records as they were thrown away during my move as I did not think they would come back several years later trying to collect from me again. I need help!Business Response

I entered the business with intents to be approved for a loan. I've been diagnosed as legally blind, so my spouse ******* Filled out all pertinent information with all id's and income proof I was told that they don't accept chime, so I ripped up my application I'd traveled 8 blocks to the nearest location to hopefully get approved, I decided to look up information that states that chime isn't a qualifying bank .I was told that wasn't true. I have had to many issues like this to not complain. It's bad quality assurance. Previously, I've been treated unfairly by this same business on several occasions through the years. I feel as it's totally unprofessional and selfish, and perhaps will cost people more in punitive damages without integrity.Business Response

Check ‘n Go regarding her recent application. We understand that there is some confusion
with the banking requirements associated with her loan. We completed an investigation into
the matter and can confirm that *** ****** initiated a loan application on 7/17/2024. We would like to confirm that our company requires that a valid checking account be used in coordination with our loan products. Unfortunately, the business utilized by *** ****** to conduct financial activity is not considered a bank, rather is an online financial company that coordinates with regional banks to provide specific products and services to customers. If *** ****** would like to reapply with a different bank account, we would be more than happy to assist her with that process.

there are no open loans in our system that match
