I was contacted by mail from this company. The letter stated that I was approved for $7500 in credit to shop from their catalogs and all I had to do was pay $200 fee.
Being a single mother of 3 children and currently being out of work, I decided that I could use that credit and buy school clothes and christmas presents for my children.
So, I gave the company my checking account information and they gave me a short trial period, in which you get to think about things, and they don't give you the catalogs to review to see if it's even good merchandise.
Well, after the trial period ended they immediately deducted $200 from my checking account and I waited and waited for the catalogs to come in the mail. When they didn't come within a week and a half I called and they said "they'll be there any day now."
Another week passed, and the same thing, and then again another week, so on and so on. I then called them again for the 4th time and told them that if I didn't have the catalogs by the end of the week then I wanted my 200 dollars back. I was assured I'd have them by then and not to worry.
Well, it's 7 weeks later and I still have no catalogs and the company will not refund my money. I am very, very angry. Please don't anyone else fall for this.
I know it sounds good to us single mothers, with very little credit and money, but the only thing good about it is how it sounds. Theses people took money from me that I could have used to buy my children clothes and shoes for school. I am very, very angry and feel so stupid for actually falling for this.
These people need to be stopped. Thank you.
