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. :)

I had gotten a laon and paid it and paid it off. They talked me into doing my tax return. My husband and I agreed to pay the the loan. We seperated and they called me back in saying they could help me. When they finished, my payments went from $50.00 to $102.00 a month. They gave me a @80.00 check. I lost my job, car, and a place to stay. I do not want to talk to them but need to make some kind of arrangements to pay them because it is destroying my credit. any advice sent to www.emma.grier@yahoo.com

World Finance / LoansByWorld.com Illegal harassment

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 whereupon Tara Holcomb demanded $6.50 more gor a "late charge." The due date of the loan was not for another ten days. I beleive Tara Holcomb should be informed that this is illegal, threatening to have a customer arrested, so she doesn't keep doing it to others. I have loans with others who have never threatened me with arrest. This needs to be stopped. Unfortuneately, I was the only customer in the office when this occured. They have also harassed me at work more than once a day.

I have a loan (my name only) at a local company World Finance Corporation. I am behind by two months. Do I have to listen to him say "He hates liars". That "It's people like me that tell him they will be there and then don't that makes him hate his job"..."Gotta have it by 5:00 today"..."Just get somebody to write a post dated check and we will hold it until a certain day"...I told them on the Dec. 22nd I would make a payment on the 31st but they wanted me to get somebody to write a check for them to hold until the 31st. Now tell me what the difference is?

I have been unemployed for a year and they know it yet they call and come to my house and harass me. What are my rights and why do they get away with talking to me that way, calling everyday and showing up at my house? Honestly my rent, light bill and water comes first then I pay them when I can. If they do a re-finance to supposedly help me out, the payment stays the same amount. I even offered a partial payment (half) on Dec 22nd and they said it wasn't policy to accept partial. Then said they would take a post dated check? So how is that helping

The line of credit on this loan as of renewal on October 24, 2015 is $1429.53 plus other charges that add up to $1845.00. My personal collateral (TV, window unit, DVD player, printer, vacuum cleaner, & one cell phone) is valued at $2100.00 on paper. Why do they also have my car listed as collateral? And charging me for monthly insurance premiums on my own car.( Paperwork states they cover the car with their ins. $500.00 coverage 15 month term $31.00 premium) as in paperwork. I have my own insurance.

I also have an account with this company, it was originally a $500 loan, but they have managed to convince me over and again, to renew this loan with promise of more money, especially at times when I needed it. I have paid it on time until the past payment, and they are hounding me everyday by personal phone, and my work phone. They can argue with you no end, make you feel like you aren't worth a dime. I have become extremely frustrated with this company, as they will not listen to anything I have to say, take it out of context and turn it completely around to satisfy their version. Anyone out there know how to get out of this company?

I live in Jackson Tennessee & the local office of World Finance has gotten to be a total nightmare! My wife & I are involved in a debt management company, trying to get all of our bills in line, like everyone else across the country. According to Lakiesha, Angie, & Terri Burnette, of the World Finance office in Jackson Tennessee, they will not accept anything less, than the full payment. Now they are calling my work number & leaving messages. This part, as far as calling your work, is against the law, under the Federal Trade Commission. In a day & time, when everyone, is having financial trouble, this company is just not willing to work with anyone, nor any company, to resolve financial problems. World Finance is creating more havoc, than trying to help with todays financial problems. I urge anyone that is considering using this company, for any type of fianacial help, to think twice before signing up with them. I have already registered a complaint with the Federal trade Commission, &, I am going to register complaints with the Tennessee Consumer Protection Agency, as well as, the Better Businness Bureau in our city. I urge anyone, that is considering, doing business with this company, to check out all the negative issues with this company, before signing on the dotted line. The entire process, from start to finish, aint as grand as they make it sound.

yours truly, in helping to protect our people,

I get calls on my cell phone daily from this company. They are looking for someone named Jason and numerous times I have asked them to take my number off their list as I am not Jason ( I am a woman) and instead they have someone else from the exact same number call and harass me. The office I am referring to is in LaFollette, TN. The employees are rude and upon talking to the police about pressing phone harassment on them I found out that the manager comes to peoples homes and jobs to collect the debt. I thought that was illegal.

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.

World Finance / LoansByWorld.com forcing services, harassment by phone of several people, refusal of payment!

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 another state died unexpectantly and had cashed in all insurance policies. I explained this as well. The phone calls continued even during the actual time of burial! Upon returning home, some time later, I found messages on my door and neighbors telling me of people "trying to break the door down" and peering in windows on a daily basis. I immediately contacted the financial company and explained my upset again. The girl said that she had forgotten to mention my brother's death, but that it probably would not make any difference. I finally told her that I would make a double payment since I was behind one payment and that my disability check comes the first of every month. She stated that that was not acceptable and refused the payment! Next, I contacted the manager who told me to "shut up!" I can not find a corporate contact. All of my references were contacted on a daily basis repeatedly. They even found out who my landlord is and continually harass him until he is ready to throw us out.

Ms. Janelle was very kind and helpful. My loan was done in a matter of minutes. She was knowledgeable and had an awesome personality. It is a great experience working with world Finance. Thank you. Ms Janelle works out of the New Mexico Albuquerque, office of Central.

My complaint is after never being late always on time with my payments and when i need them the most they fail to be there for me in my time of need.why build a good history with a company if all there going to do is turn there back on you when it really matters.i have paid my loan down to 1700 dollars and the motor of my truck has blown up i asked them to take the 1700 and add it to the 2150 plus tax would bring it to 3850 and i could have new truck to drive and they can hold the title like before.i don t understand why a good paying customer is treated so wrongly when his family depends on him don't they get it no truck means no job which means no money to pay for the remaining amount on the existing loans.comon since says do the loan what gives.
