I applied on line for a credit card through this company but when it asked for my checking account information, I decided not to go through with it.

I did not submit the application. A few days later in my email, I recieved a message from them that the card is waiting but they needed my checking account information. I did not reply.

A couple of days later, they called my house. My husband talked to them as I was not home at time. He gave them the information thinking that I had authorized them to take the money.

When I got home, he told me about it. I never authorized it. I called them back but only got their answering machine.

I left message as to who I was and that I did not authorize them to take the $199 out of my account. I also left my number and asked for them to call me back.

Well, they took the money anyway and I have not recieved the card as of yet. They took the money on April 25, 2002 and I have not received a card or call back from them as of yet. It has been over two weeks now. I am now going through the bank to see if they can get my money back or even get my card.

I have not been as successful as some people to actually talk to someone at the number of 416-488-4664. They are located in Buffalo, NY.

I would like to know who is in charge so that I can send them a letter or call them and tell them what is going on with their company.

Emma,



The company is not located in Buffalo. The address the company provides is a "suite" at a post-office service in Buffalo. The 416 area code is Ontario; very likely Toronto or one of the suburbs. They use the Buffalo address to have a "U.S." address.



In any case, there are a ton of complaints about these folks on this site. Check them out: there will be other charges to your account & so far I haven't seen anyone who's figured out a way to stop them.



I suggest cancelling your chequing account & opening up a new one. Let your bank know about the charges so they don't allow them to try to charge on your old account (some banks charge a fee--like an overdraft--if an automatic withdrawal is attempted on an account you've closed).



Good luck...
