Complaint Review: Credit Education Group Credit Source

On January 31, 2003, a man named John Emmanuel called stating that I could get a "CS Mastercard" with a limit of $2,500.00, with no yearly or monthly fee or service charges. But only after paying a one time fee of $296.00. He also told me that they were giving $2000 laptop computers as a incentive for people that signed up now, it was only for a limited time. He transferred me to another gentlemen (whose name I did not get)who verified my information.

I figured this was legit because I was given a reference id # and access code # and confirmation #. I was told that i would receive the "packet" in about three weeks and to make sure I activate the card before using.

Well, I never received a packet or the credit card. But my money was taken out of my banking account. I called the week of Feb. 10th, 2003 and spoke with a lady named Nancy, who told me she would pull the tape of the phone conversation and call me back. I never heard from her.

I called everyday for several weeks and only got an anwering machine and left messages, but noone ever called back. The last week of February 2003, I spoke with Judy, who gave me the fax number to request my refund, I faxed three letters like I was told, but still no answer or refund.

It has been a year now, and for the past several months, the phone numbers I have called or now disconnected or they say they are not taking calls from my area code. I am very furious and I want a complete refund. I will do anything. People like this should go to prison.
