Complaint Review: Consumer First

This absurd company, Consumer First, offered me a credit card to boost my credit with a 5,000 dollar limit. It even goes as far to say they are a "credit provider" for a platinum card.

What I recieved, after three weeks, was a catalog and a card that is not a credit card as suggested. There is a 35% down-payment, and 15% shipping and handling fee for all purchases made through this catalog.

I am furious now because they have my 45 dollar processing fee, and how do I know I'll even get that back with their supposed 30 day money back guarantee, if I can't even get a hold off them.

Consumer First supplies no phone or fax number. Not even an e-mail address.

So what happens when I send the catalog and card back and do not recieve my refund? They can easily dodge me through the mail. Also, it took nearly 3 weeks to recieve this package, so they could technically say that the 30 days were up by the time I sent it there.

This company sucks. Being in my mid-twenties, I just needed to establish some credit, and have been trying to get on with a legitimate credit card company. This company has just confirmed my suspisions that the entire world is corrupt and all anyone ever wants is your Money!
