Complaint Review: Ameritrust Financial

On January 16, I got a call from a company that was named Five 9. They said they can give me a credit card that is 8.9%. It sounded good.So they had me record my name and bank info and such, and me being naive and trustworthy I told them.

I asked if I can use this credit card anywhere and they said yes, and then I asked if any money would be taken out of my account and they said they would be sending me $200 vouchers that can be put in my account and they will take the $200 out of that.

Well, guess what? They took out the money on February 16, and I never received any vouchers. I called the company and they said who ever told me that I would be getting $200 vouchers and able to use it for the $200 nonrefundable fee was lying. I have 8 kids, so I can't give someone $200 for nothing, and to top it off, it is a credit card you can only use to buy their products, which they lied to me about being able to use it anywhere. I am so MAD!

I went to my bank because I remember reading something on your website where it says I may be able to get my money back from the bank, well the bank told me I can't since they never just took it out of my account, they said it was check number 9999, well i don't have a check number 9999, so they pretty much did just took it from my account. The company gave me an address that is from the president's council. I have not heard back from them. How can I get my money back. I can't be throwing away $200. I am poor and the company lied. I got the acceptance letter and it is Ameritrust Financial. Can you help me? Thanks.
