On August 7 I noted a draft of 159.95 from my checking account. I called my bank and it took two more days to request and receive a copy of the transaction and it was "EDP card". My bank provided me with a phone number to call and when I called on a weekday at 10:30 am I got a recording that they weren't open and was directed to contact them via email-how convenient?
I did some research online and found that there have been many complaints filed against this company "edpreporting". I knew I had not applied for this card or any other card, but when I read "Eric-from Kentuckys" complaint re: EDP and that they obtained his information from Ameriloan and/or United cash loans to fraudulently withdraw funds from his account it all made sense. I have an existing loan with Ameriloan (for which they are taking their payments out faithfully from my account) and apparently they gave my information to EDP who then fraudulently withdrew 159.95 from my account. I'm quite sure the 159.95 will not be recovered, but suprise EDP! I am closing that checking account today so your access to my funds will stop! It will also stop Ameriloan from withdrawing loan payments and they should also be held responsible for giving my information to a scam company. I wonder what their take of the 159.95 is for slipping EDP unsuspecting consumers financial information? Unfortunately companies like EDP will set a precedent and consumers will be afraid to order anything online.
