I went to make my payment today and their system was down. They flatly refused to take my payment and asked me to buy a money order. They looked so stupid and confused shrugging their shoulders. Making it look like it was my fault their system was down. Their problem became my problem. Pathetic. I ended up going to Flowery Branch and they took my payment, wrote a receipt and case closed. Classy. No worries they won't see my face ever and doing business with them is at your own risk. They want you to be late so they can charge you interest. Zero star!!

I have the entire week trying to resolve a problem and that was impossible, I don't understand how these people were hired for a customer service position. I Will never ever do business with this company again. This has been the worst customer service experience I've ever had in my entire life.

Great customer service, would like a local bank that cashes loan checks directly besides just one in Gainesville. I pay vendors or workmen in cash and have not written an actual check in many years. It would be helpful to have that link with no fees also.

Thank you for your feedback, Rebecca.

My representative Audriana was excellent! (The only reason I gave a 5, otherwise it would’ve been a 2) Shes Actually the only one that seemed friendly..... not a great first impression especially walking In and all of the employees are looking right at you. Not a welcoming atmosphere at all.
