** The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday filed a complaint against DAVE and its CEO, Jason Wilk, for allegedly deceptive practices
** Company advertised instant cash advances of up to $500 for their consumers, but charged "hidden" fees that they do not clearly disclose - DoJ
** The company and its CEO "very rarely offer consumers anywhere near the advertised $500" and "often do not offer any cash advance at all", the watchdog says
** Many of the DoJ's claims were incorrect, Dave says, adding that it will defend itself
** However, the company is rolling out a streamlined fee structure it had unveiled earlier to remove some of the fees at the center of the regulator's concerns
** Stock has jumped more than 11-fold YTD, as of last close
