what this credit card offers is nothing at all compared to ***Do not make this mistake and sign up with this credit card companyThis is a secured credit card that will not work for you at all: I've had about places declined my credit card with refresh financial and cdbank over the one month period I was with themI have been patient and tried to let them solve these problems but they always end up just saying "we will call you back" and they never follow up on anythingNone of the issues have been solvedYou can't buy things on ***, you can't use it to pay for your phone, you can send money using ***, you can't even order an *** to drive youThere are many credit card companies out there and this is by far the worstThey tell me things like "you can't use this to pay for your fiances' phone, because it's not the phone registered with usThey don't listen when I try to explain, and when I told them I am leaving and they couldn't care lessThey never tried to keep me as a customerThey prey on people with credit card debt, or who are looking for the best first credit card, and they advertise themselves as thatBut they forget to mention that you will be restricted almost everywhere because no one accepts them as a valid credit companyThey will tell you "just be patient with us until and send us copies of where you were declined"Do they think I work for them or something? The frustration it caused me, and the amount of time I wasted talking to them, they have never compensated forAnd guess what, you want to cancel with them? days until you get your money backSo if you were like me, and were looking to apply for a credit card with bad credit, stay away from refresh financial! Oh, and did I mention that you can only pay your credit card bill via e-transfers? and you can't even check your balance, you have to call themOr as they told me once, I can call the bank issuing the cards and PAY cents every time I check my balanceTheir guaranteed credit card approval does not compensate for any of thisI feel ripped off, lied to, and I will make sure everyone I know hears about it and stays away from that credit card companyThey are at the bottom of the list
Excellent service Refresh financial is an amazing program to help people get back on their feetI was rock bottom with nowhere to turnMy credit was beyond poorThe simplified and easy payment plan arranged by easy Financial was extremely manageableThe savings payment amounts are so minuscule that you don't even notice the money missingAnyone who holds any sort of stable income can benefit from this The best thing about this program is that saving money and building your credit are in tandem Within just over a year my credit was establishedI've purchased a house and I can basically obtain any loan I want nowThe ability to know that you can get yourself out of a jam at any point is simply peace of mindI have established good credit nowI know if I need an emergency loan I can obtain one easilyThe stress and burden of a poor credit report can be depressing and frustratingI'm very glad I discovered this program because being stressed out over my credit report is a thing of the past
Even though my credit had improved I still utilize this programWhy not? This is essentially a savings account with no Fees that continuously builds your credit
Recommended to anyone If I can do it surely anyone else can
Great service and such a help Susan *** was She was absolutely amazing and I have never had someone so patient and helpful before to help me gain towards financial freedom Thumbs up to Refresh Financial because they actually care about their customers!!!
While I was on *** from a *** and *** I was looking for a vehicle from *** then suddenly I was called from a different company offering loans to improve credit to get a carThey used very misleading marketing practices and high pressure sales to get me signed up to a loan over the phone even though I told them I was not working and couldn't afford itSecondly this loan is not even accessible to me so I essiently have a loan with interest however I am never actually given any moneyThey repeatedly hit my bank account for money and cost me dollars nsf charges everytime they do thatI am only working part time now after being able to start working again and I am also on *** from *** works and am low income applying for low income housingThe company *** sold me down the river by misrepresentation to this refresh financial company which tricked me into a loan where I do not have any access to the loan amountThey bo
Refresh financial is a company I was refered to to help increase my credit scoreSince I had loans or credit scores, I was told that they would help me by taking 54$ biweekly for an service fee of
I have been doing this now for almost years, and still my credit score has not improveA month agao I sent them an email and called to change my bank for withdrawals and sent them a void checkThe continued to take money out of ** bank where of course the money was not there, so the bank charge me times nsf, which I am now in the minusI called them again and reach the same *** customer agent, where I ask him to have a manager call me backKnow one called me back, and no emailI decided to put a stop payment for the withdrawalI sent them an email stating I put a stop payment, and will not make any other payments until someone has contacted meFinally someone contacted me, She said she will charge me also nsf fees of 25$ each, and will put on my credit bureau I missed a pay
Last year I told this company I can't continue with this contract that was supposed to help me build a credit score/history good enough for me to trade my old car for a new one because I managed to trade my car and got approved for a new vehicle without benefiting from their program I was told I would have to pay cancellation fees and possibly other charges which to me was ridiculous because there was no way I will pay that when I never got anything from them that really binds me to finish the contract They advised me to stick with it but by the end of ***, *** Reasons why I can no longer continue with it were that I am no longer a full time employee which means low income and reduced hours of work, ***
They claim to provide a secured credit card once giving a downpayment through e-transfer to their companyThey provide a *** credit card that does not work thus stealing your money you put on the secured cardThey *** do not respond to emails or callsThey set up a fake front website looking like a real credit card provider
''''''''' *** do NOT recommendI signed up for a program to fix your credit through this company on August 8th, than immediately after thought it through, called back and canceledThen two weeks later they took 75$ out of my bank accountI called them immediately, and they said they had no record of me canceling, but that the money would be refunded no later than TODAYNo money has been returned, so I called again, and apparently they have no record of me wanting a refund? And then I received an email saying my account has been canceledToday*** I have been instructed to wait for it to be processed, with no indication of how long that could take
I applied for a "loan" from this company in November of Went through all the paperwork to find out it is not an actual loan you would be receiving but a savings to help rebuild creditCompletely not what I asked for at allHowever I was not told any of this until I signed all the paperworkI cancelled the loan the same day I filled out all the paperworkI had to email separate occasions and then tell them I would get a lawyer if neededSuddenly I had an email reply telling me my account has been closed as per my request and my account has a zero balanceForward to November 10, when I receive a letter that I have been sent to collectionsUpon trying to get through to this company I waited for minutes to get a person to talk to named John only to have him tell me I cannot talk to a supervisor but one will call me back in hoursWell it has been hours and we got no call backCurrently I have been on hold for more than an hour to try to resolve thisNo one has picked up yet
I have an email from this company telling me my account is at a zero balance and now they are sending me to collections? I am disgusted at the lack of professional customer service and the decietfulness they show when dealing with me
Refresh Financial does NOT offer a true secured ***Instead it is a prepaid debit *** issued by *** and it cannot be used for car rentals in Canada
I recently got a Refresh Secured *** mainly to use for car rentalsThe Refresh website states their card can be used wherever a regular *** is takenWhen applying and again when activating the card I asked the service representatives whether the card may be used for car rentals and was told yesBut after getting the card I was unable to use it at several different car rental agencies, with the reason given they do not accept prepaid *** cards
I then did some online research using the card's Issuer Identification Number (IIN), which is the first digits of the card number and find that yes indeed the card is registered as a prepaid *** issued by ***
Refresh Financial misleads individuals on the true type of *** card offeredIt is a prepaid card and not a regular credit cardI now even wonder whether any monthly reporting is done to credit agenciesHopefully they at least do so
In my experienced I can say that the company is good in terms of providing help to peopleBut those agents who handle the in coming clients to be, are so eager that they didn't explain in a much understandable way the contract that they send thru e mail of those who make a inquiry if they can get a cash loan ( like me) this is the time after they turn you down for a cash loan, they will e mail you that savings loan contract that supposed to be is illegal for privacy invasion
In *** I had applied for a car loan through *** and was denied due to lack of strong creditShortly after, I received a call from Refresh Financial Inc representative selling some sort of a savings method that will allow a build in your creditHe then sent me an email with a contract that I was asked to signI was convinced that this would help me get to my goal of getting a carI was also not financially stable at the time nor even mentally stable to make fair and proper decisionsIn retrospect it feels like they would say anything to get me to sign up for thisBut I didn't understand that at the time
Shortly after, I contacted them asking to have the monthly withdraw taken out a month later( still under the impression that I was doing a good thing by being with this company) and shortly after I cancelled and closed my bank account to prevent any money being taken outI was really afraid of what was going to happen and kept receiving emails asking me for money
over the phone credit application was deceiving inform me that once I sign the contract I will be receiving a loan in 4-days
I was alegated into believing this company would help me as I found out later in the end each month a new surprise of error by there employees gained further charges and user company fees as well as charging me to use my own money and then on top with my own money charge me interest as well as to try and escape this company a further charge to terminate the companyThey also have screwed up my credit right from the beginning not reporting proper payments on time *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
*** An automated number calls my phone 2+ per day and leaves a message, call does not ring or number does not pull up so I cannot block it***
I signed up with Refresh Financial when referred by *** when I initially was looking into ways to get a vehicle with terrible creditRefresh advised by putting money aside for a small bi-weekly fee/payment of I could rebuild my credit and they report my monthly on time payments to improve my creditWhat I didn't realize was after signing up and having my hours reduced at work I am unable to make those paymentsNot only that but when I spoke to a representative at Refresh they told me that the first year of payments of bi-weekly actually goes toward an installment fee of and something dollarsThey also told me I have to pay until the full installment fee is paid and we can "shake hands" for them providing me a service I couldnt afford to do in the first placeSo as of now since October I have put nothing away for myselfI have nothing to show except one report I can see in *** that was reported in ***I feel I was manipulated into thinking this w
Refresh financial is great!!! They boosted my credit score, helped me save money and helped my husband and I buy our house;) I was not only a number to them, they stayed in touch and helped me out along the wayAnswered all my questions and concerns
*** I was told that their fee was $400.00, and that at anytime I could withdraw from the program and I would receive all the money I had put in except for the $fee I was told by the representative that they had to put an interest amount in the contract for reporting purposes only, but that in reality the only fee they would ever charge me was the $and so it was a great way to save up money while rebuilding credit I was immediately emailed a contract to sign, and when I spoke to the rep on the phone questioning the contract, she told me it was for reporting purposes only, and that interest was not charged I even recall her saying "that's silly, how can we charge you interest on money you never receive?"
Further, they had told me they reported to both ***nd ***After a couple months with no ***eporting, I called them and they said it was a problem on ***ide and they would fix it
I put up a savings loan with refresh financial because of *** advise that it will gurantee my credit repair, after being sick and hospitalized for months I cannot pay the bi weekly payment anymore and request to cancel the savings loan and refund the money to meRefresh fiancial said I can cancel but no money will be returned to me, I have paid a total of about for over a year
In a simple word JUST STAY AWAY FROM THIS ....Refresh financial is a complete and total sham and *** in disguise, if you love yourself and care about saving your precious time and hard earned money, never ever try this company, and if you did, you would have yourself blamed big time
I am currently regretting now after applying to this program, I have been completely ignored, and my calls never been returned let alone my emailsI want my money back and I seem not to be getting any help, I think the best bet is to echo it out and let the authority come to thisAs this unscrupulous trickery has to stop
