I applied for a bad credit loan between 4/17/06 and 4/21/06 via the following site: triplecrownfinancialservices.com/formapp.htm. - which I discovered later that this site isn't secured (SSL)..stupid me.

4/24/06: After about a week, I received a call from Randy Bishop of Triple Crown Financial Services regarding my approval for a loan. The terms of the loan agreement states that if I (borrower) pay the 25% collateral payment of the loan amount($5000), the loan proceeds of $5000 would be sent to me via direct deposit to my checking account.

4-24-06: As desperate as I was, I faxed over the signed copies of the loan agreement, my ssn card, driver's license, and payroll stub to Triple Crown Financial Services. Afterwards, I received an email from Randy Bishop of TCFS instructing me to Western Union the 25% collateral payment to a "Cristal Reddick" at "Oakville" in "Ontario,Canada". I was skeptical about sending my payment to Canada so I called Randy Bishop regarding Canada and he responded by saying the "lender" that's approving my loan is in Canada.

4-26-06: As foolish as I was, I Wired $1250 (25% of $5000 loan amount) to Canada. The same day I called back Randy Bishop of TCFS with the MTCN #302-527-9111 which is the Western Union wire confirmation #. In addition, Randy Bishop told me that customer service will call me within 24 hours to confirm my direct deposit of the loan amount for $5000.

4-27-06: Received a call from Tim Daly of TCFS customer service dept. Tim Daly told me that I have to come up with an additional $936.76 to pay the "loan insurance policy" in case of lost wages, disability, or death. Tim Daly said if I don't pay the $936.76 of "loan insurance", the loan proceeds of $5000 will not be deposited to my checking account.

4-28-06: I spoke to Randy Bishop in regards to cancelling my loan and refunding my 25% collateral payment asap; Randy told me it'll take 15 to 30 days til I get my refund via "courier check". I told Randy that I need my refund asap and he responded by disconnecting the call. When I tried to call him back, he forwarded my call to his voicemail.

5 to 10 minutes later, I received call from Tim Daly telling me that they're willing to negotiate the $936.76 to $770. At this point, I verbally cancelled the loan and demanded Tim Daly my refund of $1250 + $88.99 (Western Union fee).

Please be aware peeps! Don't be a victim like me.

My wife and I have had almost exactly the same thing happen to us, through this same "loan" company. We applied a few weeks before you did, them wanting more money etc... us asking for a refund the whole 15-30 day policy. It has been 37 days for us now and still no refund. We are trying to take proper measures to find away to get these scammers caught, whether we ever get our money back or not. This can not continue. People like us with bad credit and need help getting a loan and a "company" like this can just take advantage and get away with it, is unbelieveable. Like I said we want these people stopped even if we NEVER get are refund back, these people deserve to be put behind bars, prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Who knows how many people they have scammed.
