The company is now called 200cash.com. The application fee is now $19.00. They took the fee from my account then never deposited the money. They never emailed me that I was declined. I too have sent emails and no reply. The 714-839-1300 phone # is all automated and you have no way to leave a message. The contract clearly states the fee is non refundable and any attempt to call it an unauthorized charge will be viewed as trying to defraud the company. Who is defrauding who? This is a scam. They are the ones defrauding who knows how many people by making $19 off of loans they never approve.


I think filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and your State Attorney Generals' office would be your best move at this point. I wonder if this PDL is even legal in your State, what State do you live in? Can't say for sure but if they say on the contract the fee isn't refundable I don't know what, if any, recourse you'd have for a refund. And - if it were me - I think I'd go ahead and close my checking account. It may seem like a lot of trouble but if this company has your account information and personal information, it's entirely possible they'll try to get more money from you. Or maybe even sell your information to other PDL's. (Others will be along to give you more advice)

Be glad that it is only 19.00. Some of them will take everything they can! You could file for a reversal with the bank and have your account put on deposit only status but that may be risky as some banks will not honor their own agreement and force the ACH through anyway! Closing your account and absorbing the loss is probably the best idea!

Agreed with both last two posts. It is in your best interest to secure your bank accounts then deal with the aftermath later. Please speak with someone at your bank about your situation. Preferably a Bank manager. Sometimes even changing account numbers or putting ACH blocks on your accounts may not stop these companies. They have many d/b/a/ names and so forth. Best of Luck!
