Complaint Review: GSI GRANT SERVICES INCORPORATED

HELLO MY NAME IS KATRISHA AND I REALLY NEED HELP ON GETTING MY MONEY BACK.

I RECIEVED A CALL FROM GSI GRANT SERVICES TELLING ME THAT I WAS APPROVED FOR A GRANT FOR $6,000 TO EITHER PUT DONW ON A HOUSE, PAY FOR SCHOOL, OR START A BUISNESS, OR TO PAY OFF MY CREDIT, AND THEY TOLD ME IN ORDER TO RECIEVE YOUR CHECK I NEED TO PAY $298.00 SO THAT THEY COULD PROCESS MY PAPER WORK FOR ME AND I WOULD HAVE A CHECK WITH IN 72HOURS TO 14DAYS. SO I LET THEM TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT.

I NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING. I CALLED AND CALLED TO LET THEM KNOW. I DID NOT RECIEVE ANYTHING SO THEY KEPT TELLING ME TO CALL BACK. SO I CALLED AND CALLED AND I FINALLY RECIEVED A GRANT BOOK.

SO ONCE I RECIEVED IT I CALLED AND ASK THEM WHERE WAS MY CHECK THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO SUBMIT THE PAPER WORK MYSELF TO SOME COMPANYS IN THE GRANT BOOK MYSELF. SO I ASK FOR A REFUND. THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE THEM REQUESTING A REFUND SO I DID.

THEY SENT ME A LETTER BACK ASK ME TO SEE IF MY BANK WOULD CHARGE IT BACK TO MY ACCOUNT. SO I WENT TO MY BANK TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT THAT WAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE WITH IN 60DAYS OF THEM TAKING THE MONEY OUT. THEY RECIEVED THE MONEY 11/28/05. IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO THAT SO I CALLED THE NUMBER THEY GAVE ME TO CALL AND THERE'S A RECORDING ON BOTH NUMBERS I GOT FROM THEM.

I HAVE MY BANK STATEMENT A COPY THE LETTER I WROTE THEM AND THE LETTER THEY SENT ME BACK. SO PLEASE HELP ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WAS GOING TO USE THAT MONEY TO PAY OFF MY CREDIT AND NOW I'M BEING TAKEN TO COURT CAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO RECIEVE MY CHECK AS THEY PROMISED ME.
