1800 Loan Mart

[Troll Daddy]

Really Arte? These guys are the biggest rip off in town.

As most of you know I'm in the auto business. I've heard horror stories about this company. You can checkout their Yelp reviews for yourself.

They are now being advertised on the Big A in the stadium parking lot. You know the one ... Light up the Halo.

Thumbs down on this money making move!

Signed,

Embarrassed

Don't you need a loan for food after sending in your season ticket prepayments, LOL!

You want the Angels to bring in ad revenue, from a paying client, or do you want a roster like the Astros?

Are you talking about the same Astros that beat the shit out of us last season?

Do most of you other guys know that Troll Daddy is in the auto business? 

 

I am always a little surprised when I read stuff like this.  I feel like I am on this board a lot.  I know a little about the lives of about 5 people on the board.

 

Does all this stuff get discussed at the ST fanfest?

I prefer that am830 ad with Rex Hudler about some wine company or wine bar where he kind of whispers throughout the commercial. It's comedy and likely the lowest Rex's voice has ever been.

The results were similar

During the mid-late 2000's real estate heyday, one of the signage advertisers in the stadium was one of those OC liar loan companies, long since out of business I am sure.

So if you would like to buy a car call 1-800-Troll Daddy. Got it.

[Chuck]

Troll, you don't have to like the brand or product that wants to pay you hundreds of thousands, if not millions to advertise.

 

It's called running a business, not flashing ads of your favorite products.

Ameriquest

 

Ameriquest originated the stated income loan, which allowed potential borrower(s) to state his/her/their income without any process of verification.

 

What a f*cking country.

[Blarg]

Made new homes and BMWs so affordable.

He's mentioned/advertised it many times on the message board.

[Spirit]

It's been awhile since someone has dropped the, "I'm in the business" line.

Got it.  I missed those.

[Blarg]

It coincided with Amber Alerts so your attention was divided.

Ameriquest

 

damn, there is a company i completely forgot about. i was trying to think if it was countrywide or some oc bank that went under like greenpoint, fieldstone, or new century.

 

we used to look at mortgage implode-o-meter or mortgage imploder that seemed to update by the day of places closing.

[yk9001]

In fact, IIRC, there was an Americquest bell that rang at certain times (home runs or something?).

Maybe Pup and Taco can come back and sponsor the Angels.

I get you Chuck and agree ... but here's the deal, at some point you should be cautious/accountable of you endorse to your fans.

 

"WARNING, THE HORROR STORIES ARE ALL TRUE ABOUT 800LOANMART.  IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THIS GROUP OF SHARKS YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR HEAD EXAMINED.  THESE GUYS ARE MODERN DAY "GUIDO" MAFIOSO LOAN SHARKS.  LISTEN TO ME, I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF!!!"

This was the good review.  lol

 

I'm sure who ever handles their advertising didn't look into the company (due diligence) at all.  I drive by the Big A almost everyday ... it's a big black sign nestle between the Big A.

Eric I think you have confused our billboards with Dodger stadium.

"For the love of God , dnt EVER EVER tke out a title loan! Loan Mart may have lower rates ( which are still ridiculous) BUT they are UNCARING LOAN SHARKS!! Their finance managers are the ruthless! I took out 2,500 & paid these sharks 190/mo for 11 mos. I paid my loan off today for 2,600 & some change! Not to mention, if you are 1 day late they are blowin your cell up like your 3 mos behind! If you call because you need a lil more time, they grill you & threaten you and the "security of your vehicle" really? For a couple days?? B!tch please! And then harass you some more when you call back to make the payment. Just take my damn payment!! AND it sounds like a damn party goin on in the background every time! Unprofessional, minimum wage makin kids! I couldnt wait to pay this off, I had no intention of keeping the loan so long, life happens though, live and learn. If your reading this right now, I'm doing it for  2 reasons ..1) To say F YOU LOAN MART! (Tht was 11 mos of frustration let out... Lol) and  2) To WARN INNOCENT PEOPLE! Please please find another way out
of your predicament!"
