I want to know how 'Advanced Fee Loan Brokerage' is legal? It seems as if all Harriston Services does is collect fees from desperate, vulnerable people seeking loans. I am not a stupid person, and I consider myself to have a fair amount of common sense. Unfortunately I allowed myself to fall victim to this scam in a moment of desperation after a huge salary cut, and feeling suffocated under a mountain of growing debt that I felt helpless to get out of.
These folks are so nice and helpful, and oh so attentive until they get your money, then you are turned over to some goon who tells you the imaginary creditor has looked at your file again and decided he needs twice the money since you are such a horrible credit risk. This company looks reputable from all external angles, but I guess it is proof that anyone can fall for something if they are desperate enough and want to believe that people are essentially good, and want to help, and not rip you off knowingly in your lowest moment.
What recourse does anyone have in this situation? My guess is none, but I want to know how this isnt punishable by any legal standards?
I asked for a refund, however, since the description of how they refund money sounded like a school yard bully saying, 'yeah, we're keeping it and there is nothing you can do about it'. I am most disapointed in myself and embarrased that I didnt know better.
