Cash Call should not be used, Ever?
Speaking from experience, I would like to warn people about using Cash Call. The interest rate is 99%. I got the loan to help with moving expenses. We did not move and started pinching off the money and then I let my husband use it for car repair expenses. Well, one year later I am paying off the $2600 loan and my payoff is $2700. Thank God I am able to pay it off. A year of paying and I am still in the hole. Plus, I was never late but because I did not pay on the first of the month they called me everyday 4 or 5 times a day. Even when I told them I would be paying on Friday (for example) they would still call 3 or 4 times just to make sure I am still paying on that day. Can you imagine how much they would call if you were actually late? It is a nightmare loan. Please Don’t Do It.

Just for the fun of it I went to their web site and looked at their Rates section. You are correct, it is absolutely ridiculous! I was looking at a loan for Georgia, where I live. A $1,500 dollar loan has a 141% interest rate!?!?! Unbelievable. I am still shaking my head…

Yes….CashCall and payday loans are all horrible….The ONLY justification for using them is if you are 100%, absolutely, positively sure that you can pay back the entire loan very quickly….otherwise, if you just pay the minimum payment…you’ll be caught in their usury trap that you might never get out of….
By default, one should never use ANY company that has Gary Coleman as its spokesperson.

That doesn’t sound so bad, it’s only an extra $100! I think you got off rather well, in fact ;)
