      Can never seem to get ahold of a manager and theyll place the person on hold for 10+ minutes in hopes of customer giving up. Emails? Dont bother, its just another waste of time. I have a 20 dollar balance remaining and its basically late fees from previous months, but they have a policy stating only one fee per loan may be waived? Proper financial institutions usually will allow 1 per calendar year, this place is predatory and customer service is their last priority. Save your breath and frustration and look elsewhere for any type of lending.
