The company mentioned in this report is a scam. To the ex-employee, thank you for posting your comments on the company, from what you say, you were likely an asset to the company when you were there. However, not all telemarketers at the company are the same as you. We have talked to several people who have had problems with this company being deceptive.
The problem with the company is the business plan. Who exactly are you trying to help? You are helping people who have a lot of debt; however, what you do and the services offered by your company require that the person have good credit. The problem is that those two rarely ever occur together. Someone with a lot of debt is not going to have good enough credit to get a credit card. It's as simple as that which is why the company is a scam. It operates on deception, which is why often times the person calling does their best to not describe the services in their entirety. Additionally, we did talk to someone that said the telemarketer said they were calling from "Premier Bank" and thus the individual thought your company was offering a credit card. And if your services really help enough people, why not offer a 100% refund to those who were not helped? The design is simply flawed.
We are looking to discuss experiences with this company with anyone involved in this company or any customers who have had any contact with this company. I would greatly appreciate it if you could contact me by visiting this page: http://www.brienprivatefinance.com/forumresponse.php and clicking the link at the bottom.
Thank you,

the fact is the Premier savings like all other telemarkting company. work off a script. beleave me I have worked with many companies(fortune 500 companies etc qwest, AT&T) Premier Savings scripts never states anyone is Pre-approved for anything the other facts is the half the people I talk to have bad credit and no they can't get any new credit card and I end up trying to talk them out of Premier's services. people want someone to fix the problem they created them self. we ask the the customer has had a bankruptcy, forecloser, repro, also ask them if the have bills in collections. if the do I tell them we can't help them. We also ask them if they are current with there payment if they are not the call is end. I get dozens of people a day the lie about there credit to me tell me about credits the have even give me the card numbers and the card were close for nonpay months ago. the point is Premier Saving does help people if the people can be help we have meetings were the tell people we did help and they are happy. I have talked to people after the program and they are happy. the people that are not happy are to tell the truth customers that are not honest about there credit( for example acouple of weeks ago I talked to a person called in to get help I asked the normal questions she lied on everyone of them she had 2 repo's and over $100,000.00 worth a bills in collections.

If you look at the premier savings report on the bbb website, it says they solve complaints by giving full refunds...if you say the bbb doesn't help or care, its probably just because you haven't tried to file a complaint through them. its easy to file with them. trust me. the bbb helps.

Please don't confuse this telemarketing company calling themselves Premier Saving with Any FTC regulated bank. The company's corporate name is Premier Nationwide Corp. dba Premier Savings. This is all done to confuse the public and give the perception that this is a Bank. They have nothing to do with Premier Bank in New Jersey. Perhaps the real PNC can do something about this?

What your complaint has to do with "PNC". There is a bank called PNC Bank here in the east. You mention nothing of it in the complaint itself-just the title.
