Complaint Review: Global Financial

Thank you all for getting the word out about this company. We got the same call that everyone else did, the $221.95 package "deal". We want so badly to have good credit, as do all of you. We were even willing to pay $221.95 for help in getting there. Fortunately, I gave them my bank info and looked out to about 3 weeks later as the date to withdraw.

As the day grew closer and nothing came in the mail, I began to get upset that this company could promise these things yet not follow through on the mailing I was expecting. That is when I Googled Global Financial, searched a bit, and found all of your complaints. My heart started racing, as I am sure all of yours did.

At this point I called my bank to get a stop payment on the check, to find out that I also needed to do a stop on all automatic withdrawals to make sure that they don't take the money out that way as well. But to do this, I had to have a letter requesting just that, signed and given directly (or faxed)to the bank. I just made it in time (I was actually 5 minutes late to the bank, but begged to be able to draft the letter, I got lucky), as all of these were accomplished two business days before they were to take funds. And the stop payments take one full business day to go through.

Thank you, again, to all of you. Without you I would have been scammed as well. The number for Global Financial is 866-411-4466. The number for the "third party" who records your agreement is 800-727-9574.

PSS-I was even tempted to write this before the stop payments went through, but was afraid to do that. Isn't that sad?
