Legal Issues

In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed an injunction in Federal Court to stop tribally-owned payday loan companies that work in conjunction with AMG Services from practicing. 500FastCash is named as one of the companies in those court records, as 500FastCash loans are processed by AMG Services.

Limited Information Available

There is minimal information available on the 500FastCash website. APR rates, loan minimums and maximums, fees, and penalties for missed or late payments are not listed on the website. In the FAQ section of the website, it says a customer will be charged a fee if a payment is late, skipped, or returned — however no specific amounts are listed. This will make it difficult to know what amount of debt, interest rates, fees, and payment schedule you are agreeing to before signing up with 500FastCash.

The 500FastCash website also does not include information about loan application processing times. Repayment is stated as being due on your next payday but a specific term, such as a 14- or 30-day loan period, is not given. Payday loan companies like Check Into Cash feature this information on the website so customers know what to expect and can plan their finances accordingly.

Website is Difficult to Navigate

The website can be difficult to browse because the links open pop-ups rather than expanding the pages or taking the user to another internal page on the site. This may create some extra clicking and scrolling to read the information. 500FastCash does not provide loans to members of the armed forces or their dependents, pursuant to the Limitations on Terms of Consumer Credit Extended Service Members and Dependents Act. If you are a service member or a dependent, you won't be able to borrow from 500FastCash.
