World Finance / LoansByWorld.com Harrassment

I have had world finance call me everyday. I have gotten threatening voicemails from them saying they know where I live and they know where I work. When I made a 600$ payment they called me the next day telling me I had to pay another 200$ and my payments are only 134$. On top of that they call me and tell me If I can't make a payment please come in and we will renew your loan and give me more money. Why would I go get more money from this loan company that does not know how to properly call a customer. I then sent them another 200$ check this month and they were calling me 2 days later again. And not only my phone they call my work where my managers have told them I am not able to have calls at work and to stop calling. My job is on the line if they keep calling.

World Finance is a joke ...i never have nor will I have a loan with this company, an employee that previously worked at my office got a loan and they tried to contact him at work, well problem is I've notified World Finance in person and via phone every time they call or pop in at my office threatening to have the police called that he DOES NOT WORK HERE! That doesnt stop them at all they keep calling, stopping in and sending certified letters to this guy therefore im seriously considering pressing harrassment charges.

Research "World Finance Corporation" or 'World Finance Corporation Group" ! You will find a history of gun smuggling, money laundering, FRAUD, millions of dollars lost and the involvement of First Federal Bank of Louisville and others not only in the U.S. but around the world for example- Vatican Bank. With a history like that, I wouldn't put nothing pass them...

@ benny: No one forces you to renew youre account they are only doing their job.
@Marposa: If they go to your house its b/c your husband hasn't contacted the office. Have him call or go by and avoid any misunderstandings. If he hasn't done so then maybe thats why they have to go out on the field to look for him and figure out why he hasnt called or gone by the office. All of this could be avoided if the payment was made on or before the due date. :)

Tara Holcomb, manager, and Noel, are guilty of telling me they would press charges on me for an overdue small loan. "What do you mean, have me arrested?" "Yes maam, " said Tara. "I will take your legal file to the station." Noel agreed. Threatening arrest is against the law. I have paid this loan in full. I paid the full amount shown on the last receipt...

World Finance / LoansByWorld.com Faulty Collection Practices

This company showed up at my husbands work because we were behind on our loan payment. They not only showed up to his work but started displaying our personal information infront of co-workers and bosses. This is horrible and we are in the process of sueing this company for this. I had never heard of a loan company showing up to ask for money at your place of employment.

I agree horrible horrible company! I have had a loan with them also and after my husband's job closed down we fell behind. I was in communication with them making arrangements and didn't intend to fall on hard times and it was a huge struggle. They called my place of employment, found out who was my direct supervisor and continued to leave messages on her voicemal as well as come to my home reapeatedly. One visit the man got very rude and threatening with my husband and another time when I wasn't able to answer the door b/c I was in the shower. I got out and came to the door just in time to see them speed off throwing gravel all over the private street. They threatened to come to my work too. I filed BBB complaint, FTC and corporate office complaint. This company is awful!

thier 500 dollar tax advance loan is a scam to get a payment out of you for example your loan paymen is 130 and you get a loan on the first of the month for 500 your 130 payment is due the 3rd so heres what happens the payback on 500 is 597 dollars and they want to hold 130 out of the 500 your out the door with 370 at payback time your out 597 plus the 130 total 727 dollars to world finance and all you got personally was 370 and if you wont do this they will threaten wage garnishment and court over a loan thats 2 days late call ms farmer at world finance in trenton ga at [protected] and ask about thier 78% interest rates and dont forget every customer you send you get 20 bucks

Maybe if you paid your bill on time they wouldn't have to resort to coming to your husbands job. Seems to me that if you didn't want to have that happen you would have made an effort to pay or make arrangements with them. And as for the comment from Benny: I am sure they seem like they are insisting but you don't have to take that money. Stop complaining, it was your choice!

i have a loan with them and courtesy finance every 3 months they insist that the loan be redone for example i would have a 600 dollar loan then i would pay it down to like 350 dollars i would get maybe 24 dollars back and the loan would jump right back up to 600 after adding more collateral of course not to mention thier very competitive 75% interest i notice since georgia booted payday lenders out of the state these have moved in

I tried to borrow money from this financial institution after many, many invitations. I merely wanted to borrow money for 30 days, but the 2 women who worked there insisted that I borrow the money and make payments on a regular basis. I am disable trying to support 2 and sometimes 3 children on $628/month. They knew all of this information. My brother in...
