A rep called me and stated that i have been approved for a credit card for $2,000 all i need to do is pay $249 processing fee. A few days later i researched the internet for this company and the pop-ups were the new york better business bureau and the ftc stating this company is misspresentinf itself as a credit company, but in fact this company search for a credit card company for their customers. They are not a credit card company look for a bank, credit union, or any company that will give you a credit card.
I called the company back three times and spoke to an agent agent and told them to cancel. They did not cancel. The first time they tried to retrieve the funds through my bank account online was on 11/1. I put a stop payment through my bank. I called them again and told them i cancelled and do not want the card.in the meantime, i filled a complaint through the new york better business bureau and the federal trade commission.
Matter fact i filled at least two times to make sure they received my complaint. I hear from the bbb, but they told me that the company did not respond to their request. The ftc has sent me an e-mail and that they are investigating the case. I have also filed a case through the new yor state attorney's office, the case pending.
As of 12/13/04 centurion has hired global pay processing company to try and retrieve the $249.00 from my checking account. I have filed another stop payment and an affidavit through my bank to file charges and do anything they can to investigate centurion financials. Centurion has decided to use various bill collecting companies to retrieve the funds. The global company is from tampa, florida and the centurion finacial is located in new york.
It is obvious they are trying to get funds through lies and deciet, and claim the consumer owes them money, which is totally a lie. I have hot received anything in the mail, they are just trying to ripoff and going into their automatic accounts without permission.
My checking account was overdrawn $100 in november, now in december insufficient fees of $25. I am consulting an attorney in the dc metropolitan area to assist with this problwm.in addition, i shall forward this information the united states congress under consumer affairs and to television stations with consumer reports.
Please be aware they are fraudulent, which they will use any means possible to collect money that is not theirs to collect. They are now hiring collection agencies and they may have changed their names several times.
Consumers be ware!
