Advance Me Today Total scam. Wouldn't let me make additional payment until next due date. No pay downs in order to reduce interest charges. Tota

I needed a few extra dollars to make an unexpected trip back to my home state. Applied for small loanand got it. I understood that the nintey six dollars they take out of my account, was to cover only interest. I ended up not needing the entire amount borrowed and, having been gone all week, to a@place with no internet access and shotty cell service at best, called the company upon my return. I explained that I wanted to make an additional payment on the account and couldn't do so before today (the due date for interest payments) because of my lack of connectivity issues. I was told that, unless I wanted to pay the loan completely off, that I could not make an additional payment...and that "pay down's" would be paid on the next due date, in two weeks. Thus, I will be screwed out of another ninety or so dollars by the next due date. I tried to argue that this didn't make sense...and that it was dishonest. They claimed that they "weren't doind NOTHING illegal or dishonest. Ignorant as I figured them to be. So, apparently, there's nothing I can do besides either pay it off or, wait and pay another ninety dollars. What a scam. I told them that I didn't know how they slept at night. NEVER...and I repeat NEVER use this company, even if you're in a pinch. It's not worth it. The late fees on a credit card will cost you a lot less...
