in the future as Ambassador is not different than most payday loans out there, remember to read the contract. every payday loan or cash advance company I have ever dealt with has the same base rules. they are as follows 1.) you will pay XX ammount of dollars as a finance charge for the money borrowed (this ranges from 9.81 per hundred to $35 per hundred) 2.) the company will not automatically withdraw priciple from your account unless a. you request them to do so or b. your "grace period" runs out. or c. the contract spacifically states it will 3.) the contracts will generally state that they will automatically renew your loan 4 times with only charging you the finance charge. at the 5th renewal they will pull a portion of priciple as well as the finance charge. (most generally $25 or $50 priciple and the finance chage applicible). for example: for every renewal you pay the finance charge, in your case this seems to have been a pretty high end but standard number of number of $120 for $400. by the rules of the contract this means each payday you will pay $120 in finance charges. this will happen for 4 paydays. then on payday #5 they will pull I am assuming it was $50 in principle as well as the $120 of finance charge. you next finance charge will be lower but they will pull another $50 in principle. so on and so forth till the loan pays itself off. you can avoid future problems like this if you are sure to read the contract. keep the phone number handy. make sure you are familiar with the procedure to pay off your loan, and claify anything you do not understand fully in the contract.
