Complaint Review: CCA First National Merchant Card - Las Vegas Nevada

Well, I too received this mysterious Credit Card in the mail. Monday June 4th 2007. I immediately went to GOOGLE (as many of you have) and started reading all of the results simply based on the Telephone Numbers! Amazing, the numbers (800-717-1278 & 702-256-3000) matched up to not only CCR but to an array of different sites based in Mexico, China (and a few other places, I only went through 3 pages), moral. watch what you click on. the update I have is that they have now gone to a 100% Telephone Automated system. Attempts for "0" or "00" from the menu did result in hang-up. I went all the way till "enter card number", entered in the card number and basically said "9" [screw this]. Additionally, the source for this mailing has come from an internet check/CC clearing house in which freely admits that "if there's any problem what-so-ever with clearing your transactions. your information is shared with a host of other companies." and [in my words] "there's nothing that can be done about it one this has happened." how do I know this information? Well I had a transaction that went "oops", fed the original website with highly specific information with leaving a digit or two MISSING from my checking account. therefore specifically getting the attension of someone so I could pass the proper information. (particular way to spell name, etc) and "let it fly". Kind of Sneaky huh? The one thing that I was not expecting was a phone call from a solicitor whom had my account information in their screens (mis typed, of course). This alarmed the flock out of me so I began researching and found out the critical information (stated in paragraph 2). Well, all in all, everything went 100% according to plan, couple weeks later I got a letter in the mail that the transaction was pending my phone call. After the phone call and straightening everything out, all was made proper. BUT let this be an ongiong lesson to everyone. Everyone who accidentally bounces a DEBIT transaction, beware that your information will be shared with unfavorable companies. These companies will vie for your money and or plague you untill you either give in or get so pissed off that the words "What was your name & company again? {artful pause} Thank you for your cooperation. You have been reported to the BBB and YOUR local authorities for harassment (or other meaningful charge) [eg: have been reported to your local tax IRS Office for full investigation] " (which I have not done as of yet, but it might be a direction to attack if you should feel inclined). lastly, stay true to your word. If you threaten a company with action, make it your duty to complete that action so the company knows that YOU REALLY MEAN LEGAL BUSINESS. Thanks again to RipOffReport.com for their existance! Truely one of the best & most informative sites on the internet. WAY TO GO GUYS! (ps: this scam has been going since 2001!) D.R. Traverse City, MI

I have a post under ccs first national -it is the same as cca. I know what you mean they put you on hold forever, sounds like your talking to a bunch of arabians. All they want is your account info. I like the employee response, that the guy was probably new and they all cheered for the crews good work - lol , ya good work at yet again taking someone elses money. They will take it out before you get the catalog.

Sounds like you were speaking to a new rep that just got on the phones. New reps are usually worried of saying something wrong until they are more familiar with the program so they sometimes tend to ask supervisors in the background to make sure they are giving the right information if they are unsure. We can't mislead the customers about the program. What you stated what you heard in the background was probably not directed twords him but twords the whole shift crew for doing good work (or something like that).
