I have been a customer with your company for many years. I started with the Fortuna, Ca. store and their staff qas always helpful and cheerful. Then it was shut down. After that I just used the website and never had any issues at all. The beginning of November all that changed. I could login, but then it would freeze up. I called the tech number and they said they would send me a link to help me get to my account. Well, that did not work. I use Advance America every month to help pay my bills and exist. I am disabled. I am blind in one eye and losing the sight in the other. I try not to drive very often or very far. Arcata is a 45 minute drive from Fortuna. Gas is almost six dollars a gallon. Because of disaster on the website I had to drive to Arcata to get my pay day loan. Kim, (I think that was her name) ask me how my day has been, so I proceeded to tell her. She was very apologetic and helped me quickly and efficiently. She explained that she would have the payment taken out automatically so I wouldn't have to drive the 45 minute drive. She also gave me a number to call so hopefully I can continue do business with you on line. I also hope that I will be able to, also. The chat and the help technician did not help at all. I felt like I was being rudely excused from their help. The Arcata store was so much more pleasant that the online staff. So, Arcata store gets a 100% great service. The online help gets a big fat 0.

It's the two women who run this establishment that make it so great. I'm always greeted warmly when I arrive, tutored kindly when filling out the forms and treated like my business really matters. Always a pleasure.

The ladies in the Arcata office are absolutely amazing!! They treat me with respect. They know who I am when I walk through the door. They take the sting completely out of the situation. They make me feel like they truly care about ME!
They are the reason I keep coming back and have done nothing to try to find another company to do business with.
Thank you!!!
