Great friendly workers. I didn’t think I would ever be able to get a loan due to my credit but here in Ames Iowa they approved me and I couldn’t be great full. Especially when it’s been a rough month... See more

Bait, switch & incompetence

Bait and switch. I had completed all of the paperwork needed to obtain a loan and then was told this location was closing so I would have to deal with either Des Moines or Marshalltown for payment of the loan.
I received no cash only a check. I have no idea what was wrong with the printer but I folded the check and placed it in my billfold. Upon arrival at the bank the ink was so smeared and illegible that the bank would not accept the check. Upon return to the store I was told there was nothing that could be done until Monday. On Monday I was informed that we had to wait 24 hours for the cancelation on the check.

Staff should have informed me the location was closing before processing any loan information/paperwork to ensure I wanted to proceed.
The check printed and issued to me should not have and issue with smearing or rubbing off, like it did.

I should not have to had to wait 4 days to ensure the transaction had been cancelled and all business issues resolved.

This was by far the worse action I have encountered with payday loans in the last 20years of my life. I can see why the location is closing!!
