Capital First ripoff, told me that I had 7 days to review the packet. I cancelled it 20 minutes after receiving the packet and they took $160 from my chking acct anyway. consumer fraud ripoff Miami Florida
I originally received a phone call from an man with a Middle Eastern accent telling me that I could get a credit card with a $2500 limit for only $30. I made him repeat that part several times in order to understand him. He told me that I would be receiving a packet that I could review and that I would have 7 days after that to cancel the plan. It was about 2 1/2 weeks later that I got the packet in the mail. I IMMEDIATELY reviewed it. I had just gotten home from work and did not even have dinner first. It took me only about 20 minutes to ferret out the fact that this was nothing more than an expensive debit card that was about to cost me $160, so I IMMEDIATELY called them. I explained emphatically and clearly to the woman that I wanted to cancel the plan. She put me on hold for a moment and then came back to tell me that she had cancelled it. I didn't give it another thought until the morning about 3 days later that they debited $160 from my account. I immediately called them, and they told me that I would have to write them to get my money back. I have done that, but now, seeing that I am not the only one with this problem, I doubt that I will get my money back.

GO TO YOUR BANK TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK

My bank was very helpful in getting my money refunded. If it has been less than 30 days since the funds were withdrawn, go to the bank and inform them that you did not authorize the 59.95 or the 99.95. Be up front with them and tell them you authorized the 29.95 fee, but no other fees were authorized. They will have you fill out a form for each transaction. Let me know that you have found out this is a scam to drain your bank account. I had my money back in 4 days. The form they have you fill out is an ACH (Automatic Clearing House). Once this is done, CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, because from what I understand, other amounts will be withdrawn also. Also, see if they can put a note on your account that there has been illegal activity going on. Let us know how it goes!
