Payday Loans of America
Complaint 231163 Details

I applied for loans and began getting phone calls from a rep telling me I was approved for 2000.00 loan and to call 646-389-0853 and talk to a Danem Johnson. I called the number and left a message. He called me back and told me I needed to pay 235.00 to show that I could make the payment. I was told to get a Vanilla One card and they would refund the money when the loan went through later that day. The loan did not go through as promised. This was in February 2013. I had filed for Chapter 13 a several years ago. I was told I had to pay an additional fee since my credit rating was not good and due to the bankruptcy. I paid that fee and still did not get the loan but was told the loan amount was now up the 10,000 plus refunding the money I had sent them. No money was transferred to my bank account. Every time I called there was another excuse as to why the loan was not transferred and an additional fee was needed to be sent via Western Union. This as been going on since February and the last time I send money was Monday April 15th. I have borrowed money and my girlfriend has sold furniture and personal items the get the money to send them. I began doing additional research on the company today and found out this was a scam via your website.
