EDP took $159.95 from my bank account on the ninth of February. My bank alerted me to the transaction and the president of my bank (who happens to be a family friend) was VERY interested when he saw the check EPD themselves generated to obtain the funds had HIS BANK'S NAME on it!
My bank's customer service service rep kept looking at the EDP self-generated check (again, complete with MY bank's name printed at top) and saying things like, "Phoney as a three dollar bill", "counterfeit", "very, very, very wrong" and "crime on an interstate level".
The back of EDP's home-made check made the bank's service department shake their collective heads in amazement as it bore cancellations from four banks in three states and all within two days!!!
I got my money back and, per my banker's recommendation, will be contacting the Oklahoma Attorney General, the California Attorney General and my local Congressman (with whom I attended high school) and informing them all of EDP's shenanigans.
Bridgette, I will be naming you as EDP's chief defender and spokesperson in any and all correspondence I exchange with local and federal banking and law enforcement authorities.
I know I signed nothing to grant EDP access to my money so I'll be very interested to see what a thorough investigation of complaint turns up.
