This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Card Holder Services is calling across Canada from the USA (Petersburg, Virginia). They get around the "Do not call" lists because Canadian and US government agencies are too lazy to work together to stop this non-sense.

Do not give out ANY information to this company. At best they will charge you for something you can get free elsewhere, at worst your information will be abused. Either way, you lose!

Do complain in any way you can, but don't expect the calls to stop...

Their real phone number is: [protected], which is registered to PHL International at 836 S Military Trail, Deerfield Beach FL - head honcho is Mark Burton (little jewish guy who is never at the call center). Their parent company is American Debt Negotiators [protected]), owned by Ran David Barnea, supposed home address is 21955 Cypress Dr, Apt 48f, Boca Raton, FL. They use several spoof names such as "Cardholder Services."

I need to put my 2 cents worth in. These people will cus you out in a sec flat. The Federal goverment needs to shut them down. I have ask properly many times to be taken off there list and I am also told no problem.
Sure enought I get call from them about two weeks later. So I ask to speak to a manager. Thats when the cussing starts.

I just wrote to the Minnesota Attorney General's office to file a complaint. Do the same in your state!

I just got a call from chs and went thru the process to speak to an aget and when thay picked up I polietly informed him that it was illeagle to sollist someonr over a cell phone in the state I live in. What was his responce you ask well here it is " well what the [censor] did you answer the phone for?" I'm a cab driver so my cell phone is what makes me money therefor I always answer it, his responce to that was to say he had my wife ( he said her name) under his desk giving him a blowjob and then cus me out some more. Funny thing is I don't even have a credit card or debit card nor have I ever so why are thay calling me at all?

I have been getting calls from Card Holder Services for the last two weeks. I get from 1 to 6 calls a day. They say to press 1 if you want to lower your interest rate and 3 if you want to be taken off their list. If you press 1 and tell them anything other than Yes, I want to lower my interest rate, they hang up on you. So after two weeks of pressing 3 or trying to find out who they are, I decided to go along with them. Steve answered my call. He said I needed to pre-qualify then qualify. He asked if I had a Visa or Mastercard, I said yes, both, and he asked which one I owed more money on. I said the MasterCard. He asked what the interest rate is and I said 19% (this is all made up stuff, I don't have credit cards). He asked me I was current on my cards and if any were over the limit. I said No, he said I was pre-qualified, but before he could send me to a financial advisor, he would need to get ONE of my credit card numbers to "do a credit check, without doing a credit check". I told him that he called me and that I have no idea who he is and he proceeded to tell me he was with a company that was trying to help me by lowering my interest rate. I asked how they do it and he said they are a "negotiating company". I told him that I would feel more comfortable if I could call him back. He said he would give me the customer service number and to ask for him. I tried to get his last name, but he said he was the only Steve there. He gave me [protected]. When I called Jennifer answered with "Revenue Consultants" I told her I thought I was reaching Card Holder Services, she said I was, but the main company is "Revenue Consultants". I told her I wanted to look them up in the BBB and asked if she would tell me where they are located and she said Florida. So now, I will add this information to my complaint with the FTC and the District Attorney. YES, I think all of you should call Card Services and Harrass them as they have been harrassing us.

Cardholder Services crossed the line today by making a terroristic threat, which is probably a felony.

I have been harassed repeatedly by Cardholder Services in violation of Do Not Call. Today, I read the woman at the other end off (but no threats other than reporting them to law enforcement and for violating Do Not Call) in the hope that they might stop. A few minutes later, a man called me back and began to read me off for trash-talking "his girl." I told him that, as they were making harassing phone calls I would speak to her and to him in any manner I chose. At some point in this heated exchange, he said, "I am going to send somebody to your house to kill you." I replied, "You have just committed a felony, " at which point he hung up.

Oh yes, *69 (Call Return) gave me [protected].

I'm on the National Do Not Call Registry. I think the
company should be shut down as an example. I receive calls
from "Rachel" every couple of weeks. Several times, I
asked to be removed from their list, and was told I was.
The calls continue. Now, when I ask for contact information,
they simply hang up on me. What use is a National Do Not
Call registry if there's no way to identify who's calling
illegally?

Today I received 2 calls (recorder) from Michelle and Rachel at Cardholder Services. I have caller ID and the numbers are [protected] and [protected] (both from Florida) and I have my number listed on the Do Not Call list as I do with all my phone numbers. Our government has no clue as to how annoying these calls are and is obviously doing nothing to stop it. I have read blogs going back 2-3 years with the same complaints. What good is the Do Not Call List if it continues to allow people like this to make the calls? I think the Do Not Call list is just smoke and mirrors and does nothing to followup on complaints. Over the last several years I have probably sent then 100+ phone numbers but nothing changes. You can rest assured that the above 2 phone numbers are bogus...how do the phone companies allow them in the first place?

Buy an air horn... press 1, pretend to be interested... then let them have it when they least expect. Then say "suck this mutha ###a!"

I just got a call from "Card Services" five minutes ago and first they ask what your debt is on your total cards, then ask which is your highest interest one, then they ask for expiration date, then the number.

I told him I don't give out my number on the phone and if he had the number to verify what company he was with. He said he'll give me his number and I could call HIM back LOLOL

I wonder how many muttonheads fall for this garbage and wind up with their highest interest card maxed before the day is out.
