Well, I'm in the same boat... Except that I was trying to help my boyfriend who is disabled after a hunting accident, and gets a measly $570.00 per month from SSI. Thank you to the post by Michael from Chadds Ford, PA for pointing out that bad things do happen.
Anyhow, I checked out the internet AFTER they cashed my $49.00 check, and after 2 weeks of waiting for rush delivery. I read through several posts, and I am angry that this company is getting away with this.
M. Steven Papi gave helpful instructions in dealing with this, as well as B.K. From Hanson, Mass. Thanks to the both of them. B.K. Gave us the registered agent for this company...
Shouppe Holdings, LLC
Goodwin, James W
400 N. Tampa Street

I started my battle today:
I called People's Credit First requesting a refund. Not surprisingly, they told me my card was in processing, and I would have to wait until I received it to send it back and get a refund. I am going to write them a letter today requesting a refund, so I can begin to get my paperwork in order. I am then writing to their registered agent. (Frankly, I don't know what that is, but I'm writing to them anyway!)
So, off I went to the internet... Http://www.doacs. State. Fl.Us (suggested by another person who posted... Thanks to whomever that was...), and I went to the Attorney General's site, which directs you to the Division of Consumer Services. That site has a link to file a complaint, and it took about 3 minutes of my time.
I also contacted my bank to close my checking account, and give me a new one, so these "people" don't fraudulently debit my checking account. A pain, yes, but well worth the prevention I gain.
I might also write to the secretary of state. I don't know why. Probably someone else mentioned it. Here's the address:
Jim Smith, Secretary of State
Florida Department of State
PL-02, The Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250
(850) 245-6500
My point is, this company is NOT going to keep my money. I will do whatever needs done to get my money back, and the more of us that proceed with determination, the better the chance we get our money back. Or the company can be investigated and stop getting rich off people trying very hard to make their life better. Join me! Don't just sit there and let them keep your money!
