I noticed a $30. Cleared Check Withdrawal on my Bank Account; however this withdrawal did not have a valid Check# or name. I was given the Phone# for this company, by my bank. I was told that the $30 was the fee for a loan; a loan that I did not request. AND The only way to be refunded my $30. was to accept a loan, or accept a $100. gas card. After a 30 minute phone call, I was told that: I was not receiving a refund; if I did not accept the gas card, I would get nothing; hung-up on; and my phone number has now been blocked. Since the fee is coming out as a check, future withdrawals from this company could not ne blocked. I have to close my Bank Account to prevent this from happening again. PLEASE, everyone file a complaint with BBB.org; that is our only chance at stopping ths company.

  • Enoch I just want to be the first to let you know I have been there. Suggestions...Go to your bank and dispute the charges, if they do not let you then you need to contactthe FDIC. Usually when you dispute the charge they credit your account for further investigation. Close your account and open another account, but by no means try to get any type of payday loan in the future. The banks usually prefer you to dispute the charge the same day it post to your account. More than likely when you cease them access to your account they will try to pursue another scam on you. They will have someone to call you and state they are with the State Attorney's Office or another Attorney affiliation and advise you they are taking criminal charges against you and that you will go to jail unless you pay it. I spoke with the State Attorney General's Office in NC and the lady stated to me not to talk to them and DO NOT under any circumstances send them any money. They are currently investigating the situation but they are scattered all over the United States with fake information. Contact the BBB, your local attorney general's office, the consumer fraud department, and the FTC to file complaints against them for consumer fraud. I will further tell you this company is operating under several different names (maybe more that I haven't found yet). Vantage Funding, Palm Loan Advances, Loan Tree Advances, and Pacific Advances. I am currently investigating to find out how I can go about filing a class action lawsuit. By the way, when you notify the BBB they will respond by saying they will issue you a certified check for a refund, but don't hold your breath. I told them my case would remain open until I had the money in my hand. Please document everything.
