Unauthorized debit charges!
Complaint Rating:  98 % with 49 votes
Company information:
Check Bill Waus Kirkland US
Ohio
United States

I just checked my bank statement on line and you guessed it I had a charge for $1.05 from Check Bill Waus Kirkland US. When I alerted my bank they said that it had already been authorized and would be debited from my account tomorrow. I too purchased the Grant Master CD but I canceled everything because it turned out to be a rip off. If anyone knows what can be done about this I would appreciate the info. I am going to have to go to my bank and cancel my debit card AGAIN! Last time this happen was a few years back. Someone got my information from Paypal and got me for $600.oo it took nearly a month to get the money back. The charges that time were from Tranzelvainia, Romania. I would be glad to participate in a Class Action Law Suit. This kind of thing cannot go unpunished!

so, i bought the miracle blades series 3 on tv. Then the machine told me of this offers which i accepted to 1. It was the Travelers Advantage. They where going to give me 60 days free trial, then they where going to charge me 19.99 or 29.99, i forgot. The thing is that some weeks later some lady practically forced me to get Value Plus program which charged me with like 1 dollar. I canceled the Value program right away but they still charged me the 1 dollar. Then some weeks later i get this "Check Bill Waus Kirkland US" on my statement and i don't remember buying anything. I don't know where it came from. Maybe it was the Travelers advantage or the Value plus.

I have just spent 3 hours on the phone with Citibank about Bill Waus Kirkland. They told me it was an online utility and phone bill paying service in Kirkland, Washington.
I don't have any utilities or phones in my name anywhere, especially in Kirkland Washington. I never bought a grant cd either.
My bank is watching my account, and any further charges by Mr Bill will be considered fraudlent behavior and reported to the authories. But is nothing else we can do?
I work for a credit card processing company. I will see if there is a tracer or something that I can do. I will keep posting on this site.

Omg this is very crazy! i did indeed order the grant master cd for a $1.99 charge to my debit card. i also ordered the nature cures books, and they are doing the same thing as well. the nature cures company had been taking about $12 off my card every month for the last 4 months(for an online newsletter i had no idea existed!). when i finally noticed i called immediately and all they could promise was paying me back for the last payment they took! i have yet to see that paid back to me and its been 3 weeks. today i received a $2.05 charge from CHECK BILL WAUS KIRKLAND WA US. i searched it online and found this. i am in shock and not very suprised at the same time! something does have to get done about this. if anyone needs a vote in doing something, let me know, i am definitely IN!

I found 1.05 pending on my checking account with Chase Bank today. It just happened because it wasn't there this morning. I had ordered a grant help cd almost a year ago and canceled the program within 1 week of getting the cd. I haven't had any other charges until now! Chase is saying the same thing as to letting it go through and then they'll investigate. It may only be 1.05 now but how many 1.05's is it going to take to take this company down? If there is going to be a class action suit, please someone contact me via my email address judi211-at-hotmail-dot-com. Thank you!

The same thing has happened to me! My bank wants me to come in and order new debit card. What a pain. Some smart attorney needs to grab onto this for class action suit, but by the time that happens, they've probably left the country!

$1.17 has just been charged to my netspend card by Check Bill Kirkland,i dont know anything about them, how can we stop this from happening,seems from reading the complaints this ripoff is happening on almost any credit or debit card regardless of who the issuer is.

There is some major theft going on here frrom "Check Bill" from "Kirkland, Wa". I, too, was charged $1.17 from CHECK BILL KIRKLAND WA this evening on my Only1 card. I read earlier in this complaint that CHECK BILL charged a Wired Plastic card. Wired Plastic, First Viineyard, and Only1 are prepaid debit card products of a company called Gallileo Processing (http://www.galileoprocessing.com/) out of Salt Lake City, Utah. They have a couple of other products too... but I dont remember the names. In any event, I've been a customer of a few of Gallileo Processing's debit card services for several years. About 3 or 4 years ago thery had to send me NEW cards because their security was compromised and someone got ahold of a bunch of their cardholders info with card numbers. I'm curious to know exactly how many of these complaints are from Gallileo Processing Customers. For those Gallileo Customers who think they may have been targeted here; the name of the director of Gallileo Processing Inc Call Center is Orlando Tipiani. His number is 801-365-6060 Ext. 215. Mr. Tipiani has helped me out with this sort of thig before. I suggest that Gallileo members give him a call. I'll be calling in tomorrow to get some answers and have this charge reversed.

Happened to me as well, just got $1.09 on my credit card today. Luckily it is still pending but I tried out this product MONTHS ago.

I have been advised to contact the government dept. that handles these types of claims and I encourage everyone else to do the same, send complaints to customer.assistance@occ.treas.gov, hopefully if enouhg people complain they will investigate, I just wish I could figure out how this happened, I have never boguth a trial or any other type of grant product, nor do I use a prepaid card, please send me a message if you have any questions, I am ready and willing to help anyone that can track these guys down

I just received this email alert from my bank: An authorization for $1.07 at CHECK BILL KIRKLAND WA has been made on your card.

Same story, I made a paypal purchase yesterday afternoon and I had signed up for Grant Master but cancelled immediately and was given a confirmation number of the cacellation. I am cancelling my debit card today. I am reporting this to the Bank's Risk department as a precaution as well.

I was just charged $1.42 from the same people and I cancelled within the first week. This is absurd!

i too had a charge from check bill kirkland wa us and i called the grantmaster number to complain about why they were still charging me with stuff and they told me they werent. so who the hell is bill kirkland and how do i go about bitching about it?

Yeah annoying i got charged $1.07 from the same company and i also have a bofa account and i know its not that much money but to have someone having access to my accounts and charging anything is just not right! and there honestly should be something done about it. I am calling that place as soon as it posts. My bank said that can't do anything until then anyway. so we will see what's happens.. sort of a pain and not what i wanted to deal with on a friday right before i get paid and needing to deposit money in an account that is now tainted!

I noticed a debit in the amount of 1.17 from Bill Kirkland yesterday. I called my bank and they said they had to wait until it posted in order to remove it but that I should immediately cancel my card and get a new one. Just think of all of the people who do not go through their statements regularly and perhaps do not notice the debit. Something must be done to stop these people.

Just checked my account and was charged the amount of $1.48, looks like good Old Bill is increasing the amounts! Canceled my card and the amount will be credited. I never use this specific card on-line, so I wonder how everyone else was using it. Over the phone?? I hope the authorities will find Bill..

I too have been taken for $1.33. I called and cancelled. When I spoke with the lady before hanging up I said "I just want to confirm that everything has been cancelled and you will not charge my account for anything else in the future." She said that she cancelled everything and she gave a confirmation number. I would also be interested in participating in a class action law suit.

I'm curious... this is Joe T. from March 18th. I found a $1.17 charge for CHECK BILL KIRKLAND WA on my credit card state that evening. Upon further investigation, I noticed that this $1.17 was only an "authorization"... the payment has yet to clear. Are all these unwanted charges just "AUTHORIZATIONS" or has the payment cleared anybody's account yet? I mean, if it's an authorization, it usually falls off your account within 10 days. Otherwise it's charged off your account.. Are we getting upset over "AUTHROZATIONS"? or actual charges?
