Jackson Hewitt Jackson Hewitt Pre-Approval For Loan Is A SCAM to Get You In The Door!!! Nationwide Nationwide

So I went to my local Jackson Hewitt office yesterday with my W-2 to file taxes. I did a pre-approval for a loan against my refund that was in fact approved for anywhere between $750 to $1300. i dont make a lot of money, so this offer was VERY attractive to me.

Normally i do my own taxes for free online. Never would i pay almost $400 to have my taxes done. I thought, "It's been a rough year, so why not?" I needed the money.

So i went in and sat down to do my taxes. I was "Pre-Approved" so i thought i would be getting my loan within 2 hours of filing. At least, thats what i was told. Could not be farther from the truth!

I finished my taxes and left. I waited for the two hours.....Nothing. Four hours.....Nothing. Alld day.....Nothing. So i started making phone calls.

I finally got to speak to a human being who in fact told me that my loan was DENIED! I said "But I was pre-approved for this! How can that be???"

I was told that the pre-approval site says yes to everyone. thats just how it works.

I wanted to yell and cuss and make this person feel awful! I did not do this. No need to shoot the messenger. She just answers the phones and questions. not her fault.

So i wanted to file this report because I would hate to see this happen to someone else. save yourselves $400 and go online and do your taxes for free! There are many sites for this.

In closing, if this has happened to anyone else, I'd love to know! I'm sure I'm not the only one! If you are reading this, please leave a comment and let me know. Good luck to you all and......

STAY  AWAY  FROM  JACKSON  HEWITT!!!!!!!!!
