I received a collection notice, stating the Original Creditor is Verizon Communications and that I should NOT contact them. The phone number is bogus. It is not even in the correct area code to where I live! They suggest that it is in my best interest to resolve this account. They threaten a negative credit report reflecting on my credit record if I fail to fulfill the terms. They refer to Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices act. I shall contact the FTC to report this fraud. I hope others do the same. This is outrageous considering I have not had a Phone in my name for TWENTY YEARS!!! read full review »

I am so angry that I have to let the world now about it. On December, someone breached the SECURE ONLINE BANK OF AMERICA BANKING and I had $990.00 taking out of my account, I notified the bank and the money was replace into the account and a new account was open. To my surprise, there was an unauthorized online transfer from my new checking account three weeks later. The bank called me the same day and I told them it was an authorized transaction. Immediately I checked my account online and it showed the transaction as pending, I figured... read full review »

I have been a AAA visa customer for many years and a very good one, always paying my bill, in full, on time. When my bill was coming up due last month, I scheduled an early payment, to avoid any chance of lateness with the holidays approaching. The Bank of America online payment calendar that I thought I was setting BACK from the due date of 1/1/07 to 12/27/2006, in fact went FORWARD to 12/27/2007. I didn't notice this calendar error until, wondering why my payment still hadn't been debited by 1/1/2007, I went back to my account... read full review »

I called customer service to find out if I could pay my bill over the phone with a check. It was available but for a $10.00 fee. Then I explained that I was trying to avoid a late payment on my account - which I have had for 10+ years - because of a death in the family and the holiday on Monday (M. L. King) I was concerned that the payment would be late. I was told that the late charge would be $39.00 which was ridiculous for an account with an $80.00 balance. I sent the check priority mail at a cost of $4.00+ and will never charge another item on this account. read full review »

I was disabled for 3 years. I was in a wheelchair when we moved into this apartment complex. This particular apartment complex has a lot of disabled people in it. We lived in a one bedroom, because we could not afford anything else until my Social Security Disability came through. After 6 months we moved into a 2 bedroom, we lived there for 18 months. We had normal usage of the apartment, having a cleaning lady come in every 2 wks. paid for by my Bible Study. When we left, we were billed $820.00 to replace the carpet for a 678 sq. ft... read full review »

The first part of this is first hand knowledge. I recently had dealings over the phone with a Mr. Bishop, representing Ranch Lands West. They wanted to sell an undeveloped lot I own in New Mexico. They supposedly offered my lot via an auction to some group that was wanting to buy up adjoining lots in the development area. Each week Mr. Bishop would call reporting how many lots had been purchased at such and such a price, and that the group buying the lots was no where near buying the number of lots they wanted, and that the purchase of my... read full review »

Mr David Scott Mosher and accomplice Nancy Guajardo are using fraudulent credit cards to purchase money orders and other services from different pack and mail stores around us and Puerto Rico and after receiving the checks, they are claiming credit card chargeback to their banks so the issuers of the money orders don't get paid. We have all their information: bank statements, business addresses, tel numbers, driver licenses etc. We would like to submit all this information to the proper authorities for further investigation and processing. read full review »

I was contacted by home phone about a $5000 loan I was approved on. That week I just so happened to fill out some online loan applications, so I proceeded to look into this phone call. I made the call back and was greeted and explained how my loan would be paid back, and how I soon I would receive the funds. All I had to do was wait for an email, in which they already had my email address, and call them when I got the email. I received the email about an hour later, read through it and saw it to be legit, except for 1 small problem, They... read full review »

Homecomings Financial seems to be in the 'business' of CHEATING people OUT of their homes based on everything I've seen written online... Scared me so much a couple of weeks age that I posted my complaint on a class action site and now have a law firm in NY interested in a class action suit against Homecomings. They are GREAT people at the law firm helping me personally so I won't (hopefully) lose my home to this FRAUDULENT company.

On November 9th 2006 I applied for a home refinance. I used an internet mortgage search engine. I received 8 offers and I chose the best offer. I informed Kyle of Gorman & Assoc. of this and he laughed at the other offer and know I am quoting "they should be embarrassed if this is the best they can do". So I chose him based on my pre-approval status and "high credit score" he stated we could be done in as little as two weeks. All documents were in last piece was the appraisal he got it on 12-13-06. No response until... read full review »

My mother just passed away recently and I contacted Com Ed to ask them if they would work with me so I could open my business back up and send them money until I was caught up.

This is an apartment complex. The quality of service is terrible. The maintenance staff aren't dependable and very slack on their job. The apartment manager gets stressed out and very defensive when you report problems in your apartment. She doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect her. She has used money for the complex to fix up her apartment while the tenants' apartments are in bad condition. The grounds of the complex are not maintained, when it rains the hallways of the complex get flooded. My apartment has been... read full review »

I can not believe how greed has set into poisoning your Visa Gift cards First you pay $4.00 or more for the card, then $2.95 a month after 6 months. Then .50 fee to check on your balance. What greedy snakes you have become. I really thought it was a wonderful idea and did not mind paying the fee to buy the card, but now when all is known it is one of the biggest rip offs I have ever gotten involved in. But the surprising part is that it is legal for you greed mongers to do. It is so sad that corporations have to stoop that low... read full review »

I am writing today because of a charge to my bank account done by a company named LeanRx.com.

This report is on a COWARD named John Hanson. I had been having problems with him for roughly 2 months. I promised him payment upon receipt of a confirmation saying that if I paid the amount, the settlement would be over. He was very hesitant. I began to get angry and he laughed saying that I should have been responsible for my actions and that now I will pay the price. As if someone died and made him God to decide what MY price is. He continued to call me numerous times during the day at all of my listed phone numbers. He even wa... read full review »

This is just to bring to notice the difficulty I had to undergo when I tried to close my credit card. 1. As soon as I would tell that I want to cancel the card some verification would be done and then the call would be terminated. 2. If lucky to pass the first hurdle I would be asked the reason for termination- I would say I am moving out of the country, that would be taken as a request for an international credit card. Since my company would be providing me with one( and otherwise it should my discretion) they would tell me the... read full review »

My husband and I have been Providian Mastercard Customers for a long time and have always paid our bill on time with the convenience of online payment. Now they have apparently sold the Providian customers to another company, and we are supposed to be able to set up online accounts at yourcardaccount.com what a joke. It doesn't exist, or it gets rerouted or an error message comes up. What in the world is going on? This sucks!!! Susan Dearborn, MI read full review »
