In early May my husband took a call for me. It was a man that said he was calling from the Credit Education Group, and that he was offering us a credit card with no intrest and only a one time fee of $298.00. All we had to do is be sure all payments were made on time. This would then be reported to our credit reports to help clear up our credit.
All he needed was our checking account information. My husband told him we do not have the extra money right now. The man told him that was ok he could take it out at a later date. So my husband trying to help agreed and gave the information. The man said that the money would be taken out and the card mailed to our address in 15 days. Fter about 10 days we started getting a little worried. I looked the company up on line and didn't find anything. So we waited and the money was taken out but no card ever came. We called the numbers we had and kept getting a mailbox full message.
We started getting packages mailed to us saying they were charged to our visa card. Now we have called the company and they said they could not give out the information unless we have a card number but we have no card number because we have no card. We have now filled a police report change checking accounts and are seeking an attorney to file a law suit or a class acction suit.
I am sending a copy of this report to the FCC (since it was done by phone) the State Attorney General, The US Attorney General, The FTC and the Secretary of Banking.
