Advanta Bank Corp has been raising my interest rate from the original teaser rate almost every month or every other month since January. I have call a number of times to request a review of the account and a lower rate.
Each time I called and asked to speak with someone about lowering the interest rate I was told by the operator that she had investigated the situation (while I was on the phone) and could not offer a lower rate at that time. BUT I was welcome to call back in 90 DAYS to ask for a lower rate again. When I told her that was not acceptable she offered to have me talk to a supervisor. I have now been on hold for 30 minutes as no supervisor is available to speak with me. She has come back on the phone a few times to offer and have someone call me when it's not so busy. She said that call would happen within the NEXT WEEK.
This company is a complete rip-off and a disgrace. My next step will be to contact the government agency supposedly responsible for this in Utah but we probably all know how that will work out (see: mortgage crisis for further examples).

Mike, Hope you nail them to the tree with the law firm. Another guy has sued them and won back all his overcharged interest and attorney charges. They caved in within 2 weeks. DC

I have made contact with McKee Law Offices in Philadelphia and started the ball rolling to file suit on Advanta for raising rates both unfairly and illegally...and in breech of their contract. I've already filed an FDIC complaint and got nowhere with Advanta. I also worked with the Philadelphia Business Journal to get an article published last week about that scumbag company. If you want to join me, contact me through my website at emeraldcitycoffee.net and hope to get somewhere with that. Of course, I would expect some help with legal costs...total estimate under 2k for my own case....more the merrier!!!

Please do not forget to report this to rip off to FDIC as well. Advanta Bank is regulated by FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). Here is the website link: https://www2.fdic.gov/starsmail/index.asp If you do not report, people like Dennis Alter will get away this type of rip-off from small business folks like you. Dennis Alter should be jailed for this crime
