FRANK VAN BUREN NEW YORK, NY 10019 Complaint_against: ADVANTA Complaint: I SUED THEM AND HIRED AN ATTORNEY. THE CASE WAS TO BE HELD ON 11/21 IN DISTRICT COURT IN PA. THE ATTORNEY WITH ADVANTA CALLED MY ATTORNEY AND ADVANTA REFUNDED ME 2,056.00 IN EXCESS INTEREST CHARGES PLUS ATTORNEY FEES OF 782.00. YOU CAN SUE THEM AND WIN. ADVANTA THEN CLOSED THE ACCOUNT AND RAISED MY INTEREST RATE TO 21% ON THE REMAINING BALANCE. I INTEND TO PAY THEM THE BALANCE OF ABOUT 8,500 ASAP. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH ADVANTA. One possible option. Advanta caved into the lawsuit in 2 weeks. I would encourage others to try this also.
