Verified Reviewer | Paris, OhioRead before signing
I went to check smart in Marysville Ohio, to get a “pay day” as they advertise on the yellow pages. I only needed to borrow $100 and they informed me that I had to take a significant amount more than I actually needed.
Which I thought was odd but ok. I hadn’t borrowed from them in years. I signed all paperwork, as I normally did in the past, and within 4 days started getting calls asking for payments saying I was late. Spoke with the manager Chris, he claimed those weren’t call from his store.
Those calls came 2 to 3 times a day for the next 4 days, frustrated I went to the store and paid off the loan within 2 weeks. About 3 weeks later I began getting calls again saying I was late on a payment. I had no idea what they were talking about. My loan was paid off.
Well after speaking with them I find out I had taken out a “line of credit” with a company called crest line finance and that I was charged for the “line of credit” of $250.00 with interest. That is not what I thought I was getting into. I thought it was a pay day loan. They informed me pay day loans no longer exist, that when you borrow you are taking out a pay day loan.
They then said they are a collection company cm reacted by crest line to do collections only and that they couldn’t speak to me about the loan. I needed to call crestline. Gave me the number, I called crestline and they told me the same thing. Not at all what I thought I was getting into nor did check smart make this clear to me.
Please read before you sing. I was scammed and now to close this line of credit I have to pay $152 more to close it, and have to do it by mail with an attached letter stating I want it closed. Don’t be scammed by this company or crestline.
I will be filing with the BBB, the consumer finance protection bureau and the attorneys general office about this as well as leaving a review on crestline as well. TOTAL SCAMMERS!
