I was contacted by Continental Services in the begginng of SEP. 2004. They told me that I was approved for a Master Card up tp 2,500 with no interest and all I had to pay was $329.80. I was thinking this was good especially with me trying to establish credit and all.
Well the I gave them my bank account number and rounting number to take the money out on 17 Sep, but they never did so I forgot all about it. Being that I'm with the Army and my pay peroids are 1 and the 15th of each month them bastards took it upon theirselves and went ino my account on the 15 oct and took the money before I could even get to my money.
Well I called the bank after checking my account balance and asked them what was going on and that's when they told me that an eletronic check had came in from the service and gave me the number to call them. I call some company that said Contintntal Services only use their software to process the transaction and that their computer was showing that the bank still had my money on hold for 7 to 8 business days before they actually released it to the service.By then I was extremly pissed because I never authorized them to go into my account in the month of October. Well I called the bank back and they said that once a check comes into the account and the funds are available the release it the funds to the sender. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said the exact same thing and that the bank isn't held liable once you have authorize someone to go into your account.
I than called the number back and told them they were lying the banks does'nt have my money. They than gave me a number to Continential and I called, but the voice mail cmae on. I than called the other number back and the dude I spoke to said he was going to push my file forward to them and they'll call me back in 48 to 72 hrs time peroid. I waited and they finally called me at work and i told the women I wanted my money back. She than tells me that i Can't get my money because my file'already in process.
I than asked to speak to a supervisor and she said he was'nt in the office. So when I asked when I was suppose to receive my card she stated that it had to be approved through their bank and basically it was up to the bank rather or not I'll get the credit card. Since than i've tried everything I can think of I went through the Army lawyers who were going to write them a letter demanding my money back but than pulled up this site and saw that so many other people had been scamed through the same service. So the lawyer there said it would be pointless because a shady company like this would just tear it up and put in the garbage.
Since than I been getting the run around still trying to get my money back. All I want to tell people is be careful who you give your bank information to. If they call yor house hang up in the bastads face and like it's always said every dog has it's day and sooner or later they will get theres especially if I don't get my money back there will be a lawsuit.
