Rita and Jeremy are always very professional and kind.

Workers was very polite and patient. I was having a problem with online re-barrow. She tried teaching me and troubleshooting the issue. Come to find our it was a website problem. So she helped with re-borrowing in person. She was very informative and offered to help next month if we had a problem.

Rita and Jeremy has great customer service

My bank called me to let me know they were voiding my debit card due to a few fraudulent charges… after about two weeks of total confusion, I received a letter in the mail from Advance America notifying me that they leaked my personal information. My social security number and bank information was stolen, my bank account was frozen and all they sent was a “whoops, sorry.” Followed by constant collection calls and emails letting me know my payment didn’t go through (because my bank account was locked due to their incompetence). Rather than correct their massive issue, they charged me the second I was able to resolve the problem they caused.
Thanks for creating massive problems I’m still working to fix, I truly appreciate your complete lack of care for your customers. Keep up the absolute zero effort on taking responsibility for your negligence.

Edit: I’m not calling you, I’ve done that.
Here’s a verbatim copy of the letter I received:

We conducted a thorough review of these business records to identify the individuals whose information was contained in the records. We recently completed this review and determined that some of your information was included in the records.
