In early 2007 I applied for a credit card with Continental Finance. At the onset I was slammed with charges equaling $225 and had available credit of around $60 dollars. I made charges of $66.23. I called several times to dispute my statement and could never get a live person on the line. They would tell me my information which is in black and white on my statement did not match the information on file and would hang up on me. I tried emailing a response to payment requests from them and it was returned undeliverable. Today October 5, 2007 I once again attempted to find out if someone else had used my card, changed my information, and to find out why I now have $195.12 in new FEEFIN charges added. AGAIN, NO LIVE PERSON TO TALK TO! I WANTED TO MAKE MY MINIMUM PAYMENT AND DISCUSS THE ADDITIONAL CHARGES BUT THEY WON'T TALK TO ME. I want Continental Finance to accept payment for the charges I do not dispute in the amount of $66.23 and close this account in good standing. What a rip off... I charge a total of $66.23 with$1.37 in finance charges and they say I owe them $534.86. How can they do this to middle class people living week to week and trying to build their credit. I am the only person working in my home, my husband is disabled, please help me fight these rip off artists. There are several other complaints against them.

Beware people!
