Was approved for a $5000 secured loan from Avenue Financial. I wired $924.16 to them for the 1st 6 months of my contract (with no payment due until June 09). 2 days later, I received a call from the General Manager who told me that additional collateral was due as there was an issue with my application. I would need to submit an additional 6 months of payments before I could receive the full $5000. I opted to cancel the deal and I was promised a refund of the $924 on January 10th which would be directly transfered into my bank account.
Since the 10th falls on a Saturday, my husband decided to contact Mr. Cowan to see when the funds would be transfered. That's when we realized there was something wrong as there was no answer - only "goodbye". So, I started searching the web and found that this has happened to multiple people. I am in the process of closing all accounts but am still concerned as these people have my social security number as well as a copy of my drivers liscense (government ID).
