    Do not waste your time here. I had multiple pay stubs and I work a government job. I literally only…read moreneeded a $100 cash advance. I supplied my blank check, all of my banking information, including my account number and routing number for both my savings and checking accounts. I was able to pull up on my banking app to show that I have direct deposit and that my most recent paystub could be seen within the past 30 days. Again, I have never had a problem who's getting a payday advance. The lady was relatively cordial but she was very much by the book and so I gave her a star because I figured that she is just trying to do her job and not get fired. With that said, I would not recommend coming here. I have had the best experiences at * (1) "Advance America" in Poway * (2) Fast Auto Loans" in Escondido * (3)"Payday Money Centers" in Clairemont & Escondido The first two places will loan you $255 for $300 but (3) only lent me $100. I make approx $1600-1800 so keep that in mind. Lastly, I wanted to add that Clairemont has a ton of payday advance places so I would highly recommend using Yelp to check out your different options. BRING: ~ your most recent paystub from last than 30 days ago ~ your current bank balance (you can show on phone) ~ A blank check that has your name on it (Printed) ~ optional: your checking account number, as well as your routing number for your bank account If this is your first time getting a payday advance then I highly recommend that you write down the names of real references but do not write down the real phone number or even your EMPLOYER! Don't even think about writing down your supervisors name or your main office because if you do not pay your loan back in time then they will call anyone they can, and you run the risk of being super humiliated.

    I didn't come here for a payday loan, but my car registration needed renewed and the clock was…read moreticking for me to get my tags in time. I saw a little sign in the window that said they do DMV registrations, so I pulled in to see what the deal was. This place is TINY, no public restroom, and no place to sit, but don't sweat because you will be in and out of here in a flash. The lady was all business, and she explained that this joint was CASH ONLY and there would be a $25 processing fee on top of the DMV fee. I handed over the cash and she pulled my shiny registration sticker out of the drawer and stapled it to my receipt and paperwork. Three minutes and $25 was well worth avoiding the DMV when you are in a time crunch. The next time I forget to mail in my paperwork on time, I'll be cruising over here.

    Alright.. I gotta take accountability here. I waited and waited to get a Real ID. I mean I have a…read morepassport, so I can use that to travel. Honestly, I felt pretty golden given my passport isn't set to expire for a long while (just got a new one!)... however.... I did not (in all my self satisfied feelings of not bending just yet to "the man") anticipate that my drivers license was set to expire... I no longer had the option of just going online and having one sent to me. Nope. That ship sailed. I'd have to go take my beating like the rest of everyone else. But now I'd have to do it in a time crunch without appointments available. Did this to myself. I take accountability. I absolutely understand that this is my fault. So I can't fault the crazy line in the "no appointment" line. No Sir! That was on me (Although I'm kinda bummed at even a month they didn't have appointments I could book), and this is what I deserved for being so "smart." At the very least they have online check in. So you can get in line virtually and wait from the comfort of a nearby destination. No appointment?!? Either get here at opening or get checked in online. Trust me. The physical line is long and it's just an awful experience to even be inside the building. It's crowded, people are not in good moods, and it's a slow line. This is about 9:30ish. By 9:45 there wasn't a seat to be seen. While I checked in early I decided to poke my head in and see if maybe I could get in even earlier but that was a hilarious thought lol No way was that happening for me. Options if you are waiting at the location? Well, you can tool around Walmart. Grab some food (saw a taco place among others), stand outside like a lot of the younger folks tend to do, or you can wait in the comfort of your car. Which is what I chose. Every now and then checking to see where I was in the line via mobile. But let's ask the real question on everyone's minds...how did my new picture turn out? Awful!!!! Just so bad everyone!!! I don't know how they managed to make someone with a weak chin look like they had a Jay Leno chin... but they somehow managed that feat! Sigh....

    ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS DMV. "Angel" the "manager" is SUCH A…read morePAIN IN THE A**. I can't even describe how RUDE she was. Everyone in line was complaining about her. Can't seem to MANAGE her own attitude. In that case just stay home. Every person going up to window 1 was COMPLAINING about her today and about her attitude. She was throwing papers and ID's around and couldn't even make eye contact. And just to make sure I am describing her correctly, she has tattoos on her right arm.
