Centurian Investment Centurian Financial Services Loan Service Somerset New Jersey
On May 4th I applied for loan online thru Creditexpressplus.com, next day I received call I had been pre approved. I call and spoke with Melanie @ ext 199. She was assigned my account. We talked and then she sent ovet all the information on the loan. At that time I was to provide copy of license, copy of pay stub, bank statement, ss card. I sent over eveything she said she had to send over to legal dept to see if approved. On May 5th I received a call saying everything was approved but because of my credit score being low, I would have to choose 1 of the 3 optiond in order to move forward. I chose the Money Collateral which was 10% of the loan approved amount of $8000. Melainie proceeded to give me instructions on the 3rd party investor and where to send eveything to, and I sent everything she called me within 3 hours and said everthing was received as nd she was processing transfer, should be in my acct by 9pm that night. Well nothing was there the net morning I proceeded to call of course Melanie was out sick, I was speaking to Majorie district mgr, she proceeded to tell me that my transaction was not complete because I still owed $1600 to put insurance on the loan, well I be d**n I wasnt giving them another dime especially when Melanie never said anything about $2400 oppose to $800. So I said just give me money back same way it was sent to you. She proceeded to tell me that it will take 15days to refund me my money back and to look at the contract, yes it was there in very small print, at this time I was livid and still trying to keep calm cause they had my money. Well the 15th day came on May 29th and now I cant reach anybody by phone its constantly busy and no response from emails. I proceeded to reach out to Creditexpressplus to see what they could do since they provide this company with my info. Well they are a scam as well, we work to hard for our money for it to be just taken and trust abused. Any suggestions on where to and how to file criminal charges or compliant would be welcomed. Thank you.

You have two problems - ID theft and money loss

You were dealing with a scammer. Unfornatually you sent the scammer all of your ID so your issue is much, much larger than simple money theft. First, go to the police and file a report, right now.
Contact your bank and change your bank account. Tell them you provided your information to a scammer (because you did) and you want to protect yourself from furture ID theft.
Change your debit and credit card numbers with each of the providers.
Lock down your credit by freezing all of your credit reports through each of the 3 CRA's so no one can get additional credit in your name. You will need to do this immediately.
You will need to find out from FTC(dot)gov what else you need to do to protect yourself.
The funds you sent are gone, but make sure you file that in the same police report (or a different one if the police think it warrants a different report). You need to be pro-active now. Quick, before the thiefs start to use the information they have on you to open other accounts. Good luck.
