    He giveth and he taketh away.

    Cash advance?

    I am assuming they are taking their payment from the money you owe them now for getting a cash advance. Was it like a payday loan? Those things suck ass.

    I thought it was the stimulus check from Dubya?

    On 05/05/08 was the first time ever I have had that in my bank account. I figured it had to be the stimulus check.

    $500 was the initial deposit.

    I don't think this is the stimulus thing after all.

    I didn't authorize paydayadv to jack with my stuff.

    You might want to call your bank and ask them if there's any way they can see where/when that transaction was made. Beware of identity theft

    It is written on the check, you cashed it now they are going to make you pay! too bad for not reading carefully. :p Banks and other do that all the time, give you a check and ask you to sign for a service.

    Your best option is to pay them off as soon as possible, they might not allow you to pay it off very soon though. Better be more careful next time. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    Yea back when I worked at EZ Pawn I think the interest was like %120. We called the people who got payday loans, "suckers".

    These are true fools. I heard story of people who would pay 120% interest because they cannot wait a few weeks for their refunds, and these are the people who can least afford that type of loans, go figure.
