Thinkcash TV

So I am sitting here watching the Sunday game and this ad comes on for Thinkcash TV. Now I am not sure if this is a PDL or falls in line with Cash Call. Any ideas about who this is? Who is this man behind the curtain?

This is their disclosure at the bottom of their website and their address

Complete disclosures of APR, fees and payment terms are provided by the lender in the Loan Agreement.

This is an installment loan EXACTLY like Cash Call. I believe they may even be backed by the same bank as Cash Call.

sneaky devils

Think Cash is a servicer for First Bank of Delaware, which makes installment (not payday) loans. Think Cash itself is owned by Payday One. I believe they set up a separate company to keep the First Bank loans completely separate from their payday loan business.

When I was in Florida, I saw advertisements for Think Cash and Cash Call. I just shuddered. Thank God they don't advertise in my state. I would probably have nightmares.

Cash Call isn't that the one with Gary Coleman? If it is they advertise it where I live late at night. Disgusting, it just pisses me off.

They are esentially the same thing. They make it sound like such a lifesaver when they advertise, like the pdls do ....only to me they are scummier than the pdls...

Yeah, ladybug. Cash Call is the Gary Coleman one. Guess your state advertises that one. The one I saw in Florida for Think Cash was this "nice" little advertisment with "nice" little people wearing "nice" little headsets looking like they're just waiting to "help you out". If it hadn't been for this site, I probably would have really sat down and listened to it. Instead, it just sent chills though me!

Isn't it good to be informed...I wish I had found the site before I found Cash Call.....now I am sucked in with no way out.

Have you seen the new cfsa commercial where everyone look so professional in it, with their disclosure at the end "short term loans aren't for blah, blah, blah

Nooooo....Would like to see that one though. I have seen that staement made for pdl commercials locally...

An advertisement for the CFSA???? I haven't caught that one. I wonder if they don't advertise where I am either. Or maybe they just don't advertise on the channels I watch! LOL!

roxy, I know you were sucked in by Gary Coleman! You couldn't resist!

Uh, yeah... that was it, I just could not resist the washed up child actor with a jail record and an outdated sports car...you caught me..

LMAO! I knew it. He's too good to be turned away from! At least Think Cash has a "professional" looking advertisement. That's even more scary though!

I've seen the new CFSA commercial...it's been all over the place here in Michigan, where the employment rate is the highest in the nation (7%), and the PDL industry makes a boatload of money preying on those who can least afford it.

Didn't Gary Coleman used to be a security guard?
