Complaint Review: C.C.S.

I was just ripped off. They actually stole money from my account. I signed up with C.C.S. in March, sending in the required amount to start a new line of credit for $6,500. They told me that they were not allowed to withdraw any amount of money without my signed permission. It is now July, they just withdrew $49.99 x 3, $150. I called them several times and they kept telling me this is for benefits. The description of the fee's withdrawn are CONSUMER CREDIT Prefered C $49.99, CONSUMER CREDIT Rush Proce $49.99, CONSUMER CREDIT Product Pr $49.99. When I received my paper work they told me to call a number to their Customer Service to cancell Benefit Fee's. They also sent a paper to sign and send with a copy of my drivers license and bank statement, to give them permission to withdraw money from my account and a copy to send to my bank. NO WAY! I called them up telling them I do not want them to withdraw anything from my account. They told me they could not without permission from me and my bank. Well, 4 months later I have these 3 charges. Same 3 charges I had already paid for. They gave me 3-4 numbers to call. Could not get through to them for days. There is no such thing as a customer service from my point of view. I am sending my bank a certified letter asking them for a refund on unauthorised money they allowed to be withdrawn from my account. THEY ARE THEIFS! I was supposed to get a $200 gift certificate back after paying the initial starting fees to spend however I want. No such thing. You have to use it for their catalog on top of that for their catalog purchases you may be asked for a 30% down payment on their products before receiving them. The women LYNN in the benefits dept told me she would never give out her information over the phone and that I could not cancel my membership through her. I could not cancell my membership throught the number on the front of their approval form, only customer service. They have 3 different numbers and you can not reach them. She finally gave me a fax number for their customer service and then told me she could not guarantee that it will go through. I told her that is because you are giving me the run around and there is no customer service. DON'T SIGN UP WITH THE SCAMMERS LIKE I DID. I will let you know soon how it went at the bank.
