According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the chargetruth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

demand tion E.

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and orm.

They got me too: Here is the procedure I was told to obtain a refund

My bank account was hit on 7/12//07 for a charge of $54.95, a check #9999 from Ever Private Card. I called my bank, reported this as an unauthorized transaction. My bank told me to first call the number listed on the check to see if I could get Ever Private to refund my money. I called the number 866-379-5984 only to get recording that any request for refund must be done online at contacteverprivate.com. I did this, only to get the line that I had agreed to let them make this debit. (Apparently, Ever Private got my info, unbeknowst to me, from a application for a loan with a company not affiliated with Ever Private.) After repeating twice that I wanted a refund, did not want the card, etc., I was finally given the following link for a refund request: secretcashcardservice.com/cgi-bin/refund.cgi. I filled out the form and on 7/16/07 was informed that my refund check had been mailed and I should get it by the 26th. Meanwhile, I had to close my checking account and open another one, as well as filed a fraud report at my bank. My bank is investigating and has refunded me the overdraft fee this illegal transaction caused. The kicker? On another website that lists consumer complaints, those who got refund checks claim that the checks they got had stop payments attached to them. One person who received the refund check called the bank the check was issued from and found this out. According to this individual, this is not the first time this had occurred. So let me toss this out to you all: If I receive a refund check that is not good, what would be my next step? I already complained to the Attorney General offices for Texas and California. The address I got for Ever Private Card is: 647 Camino de los Mares #108-217, San Clemente, CA 92673. They also apparently have, or continue to, go by the name Secret Cash Card. Hopefully, this will help you, but I would not let your bank get away with not compensating you for the amount Ever Private stole from you and any overdraft fees that came about from this transaction. The gentlemen I dealt with at my bank says he has seen several of these unauthorized transactions from Ever Private and Secret Cash Cards. Maybe flooding the appropriate authorities will finally shut them down for good. Good luck to you!
