TransCredit Financial - Thomas Chapman, Anthony Lawson, Joseph Thomas, Karl Parker & Julius Huviot ripoff, scam Bellevue Washington
They said I was approved for an $8,000.00 loan at a 6% interest rate. Due to my some items that were on my credit report, I had to send in a collateral of $973.52, which was equal to the first 5 months payments of the loan. I sent the money via Moneygram.
They said the money would be in my account by noon the next day. I checked my account and the money was not there. I called them and they said that something else came back on my credit and now I needed to send in $750.00 more for collateral.
I told him I did not have $750.00 more to send in. I asked him to send my money back to me and he said that they would send out a check and I should have it by the following Monday and this was on Thursday. I called him back and asked him to wire the money into my account as I really needed to get that money back. He said that it would be no problem and the money would be there no later than Monday.
The money was not there. I left several messages for them, sent e-mail and faxes. No response. Now I call the number and it says "Thank you - Good Bye."
What a bunch of crap and now I am out the money and owe the people I borrowed it from to get this loan.

I tried to get the word out before people got scammed by this "company" Transcredit Financial. I was the victim of an Advance Loan Scheme nearly identical to this one earlier in April by a "company" named Westgate Corporation. Since then, I have been on a crusade to get the word out about these companies. Every day, I log onto the internet and search for bad credit loan companies. I happened to find Transcredit in mid-July. When I received the phone call back regarding my loan approval, I got the same song and dance as before. I even told one of the managers that I had been scammed before this same way and they tried to sell me another line of crap about how they weren't scamming people. Literally, this was identical to the other company. Right away I reported it to the BBB and put a report on this website Ripoffreport.com to warn people to stay away. I was just informed by the BBB that the company is fraudulent...surprise surprise. Now I checked the ripoff report website and see all these other people who were ripped off too! These are probably the same people who ripped me off earlier this year but they keep moving around and changing their names. Every day I search for them to find out their new name and information so I can report it ASAP and get them shut down before they scam too many people. I think it is ridiculous that it takes the BBB so long to investigate and that none of the government agencies that deal with these issues can stop these people. As soon as someone complains to the BBB, they shut down and move on. I sent in $1700 but lost much more than that. I am still paying off the cash advances I took to send in the money for my "insurance" that they required. These people prey on desperate people who cannot get a loan through traditional means. If you've been ripped off by one of these companies, BEWARE. No one cares you lost your money and you'll probably never get it back. My credit has been ruined even more and I am now unable to get a loan for law school. Please get the word out to your family and friends and spread it to as many as you can about this advance loan scheme!

My husband is a victim of the company also, I filed a ripoff report last week. He is out $1700.00 and they are gone. The steps you need to take are contact the Washington State Financial Institution,(360)902-8703 file a complaint with them about the company. File a complaint with the ifcc.fbi.gov, be sure to tell everything that happened, names, dates, money that you have borrowed from people to help with the secured payments. File a police report with your local law enforcement. Our claim has been turned over to Homeland Security. The names you listed is the exact crooks that stole our money. They have our checking account number, which is closed now, ss#'s and drivers license numbers. My husband was approved for a $7000.00 loan and money grams were sent to a Jeffrey Olson in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
