200cashnow.com Payday Loan Scam/Ripoff Santa Ana California

I filled out an application online 3/20/09, 6AM EST on www.200cash.com. The application asked for work information, phone numbers, bank info, reference contacts. Co. advised they try to have an answer to customers within 24 hrs. I tried to reach someone later in the day on 3/20 to make sure all info was received. Cust Service # provided on the site is 714-839-1300 & email addr info@200cash.com.

I called & received just an automated system, which would not allow me to speak with a live person no matter which option I chose. I also sent an email to the address listed above, and received no response. This morning (3/23), I received an email saying my application was denied because they were "unable to verify the information provided in the application", all of which can be easily verified had they made any attempts to do so.

My references advised they rec'd no calls, and none were rec'd at my work phone number either. Additionally, the co. charges a 19.00 hidden fee just to fill out the application. This fee is not disclosed until after the application is submitted. They really take advantage of innocent consumers. I have a complaint pending with the BBB.
