United Card Services ripoff ALERT!!! fraudulent ripoff business Buffalo New York
I recieved a call at home on January 30th from a company called United Card Services. They said they had reviewed an application online that I had submitted within the last 18 months and they wanted to offer me a Master Card. I had applied for a few cards online so I didn't assume the call to be fraudulent.
Due to my credit situation they said in order for me to obtain a card they would require a $249.00 deposit. There was no annual fee, no interest, and a 2500 dollar limit. I just had to pay 4.95 every month that I carried a balance. On February 16th the money was withdrawn from my account. I have been calling the 1-888 number I was given to contact my representative Anne and I have gotten the customer service voicemail everytime.
The mailbox is full everytime I call so I cannot leave a message. On March 17th I recieved a letter in the mail from United Card Services dated February 5,2003 that wasn't postmarked untill March 10th. The letter stated that I would receive my Mastercard within 25 day of receiving the letter dated 02/05/02. It is now the 6th of April and I to date have nothing.
I am hoping that I can get my money back but then again who knows.

I called these people on Monday April 7th 2003 and I got through to a voicemail service. I left a message in the box labeled "customer service." I got a call the next day and the guy said that they had a problem with their system that caused their mailings to be delayed by two weeks.
Well, after he counted out loud how many days it was until my 60 days were up (for ACH reversal) I assume, he said that I would recieve my card no later than next Thursday (Apr 17). Apr 16th is when my 60 days were up.
Well, unbeknowst to him I had already been to the bank for the ACH reversal. I GOT MY MONEY REVERSED AND DEPOSITED BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT THE VERY NEXT DAY!!!! Thanks to ripoffreport.com By the way there was no credit card in my mail today.
