On 5/28/07 I noticed an unauthorized debit from my account for $54.95. I called the 800 # which refers you to another number or their website. The other # had me on hold forever... I finally just filed a complain with the PA State Atty General The CA State Atty General, the BBB as well as the FTC... I'm still awaiting a response.

I just opened a new account and this company has taken $49.95 from my account twice and I don't even know why or who this company is to even take money from me without my permission. I would like someone to contact me please and tell me who they are and why they are taking my money.

Thanks,
Kathryn

I went on line to get a cash advance and after doing so my account was presented with a check made out to this company that seems not to really exist. I never applied for a card and now have over draft fees for the check that I have never seen before. They stole 49.99 from my account and have no way to contact them.

I was online looking for a consolidation loan to help me get all my bills under one payment. I did not authorize anyone to withdraw any money from my account. They took $49.95 out of my account, which led toa $36.00 additional charge for insufficient funds. I have just enough money in my account to pay my monthly bills and now the bank charges me the extra $36 because I didn't have the funds necessary to pay for this. I want both the $49.95 and the $36.00 put back into my account. I NEVER authorized anyone to take money from my account.

I posted this previously... this is an update.

I logged on to their site, filled out their "ticket" and proceeded to have a lengthy conversation with "someone" who kept trying to explain to me how I "authorized" them to withdraw funds from my account.

They tell me that on a site that I used to apply for a payday loan, they had an advertisement that "I marked YES" to in order to request their secret card. Obviously, it was hidden well as an advertisement because I did not mark anything to "buy" a secret credit card from them that requires me to put money onto in order to use it.

Needless to say, they were all about "justifying" why they were allowed to withdraw funds from our checking account. I told them numerous times I did not order and did not want their service. Finally, they gave me another "customer service" link that will process refunds. I did that and am now waiting to get my refund.

But, don't expect to get any refund on OD charges applied by the bank if their withdrawal caused an overdraft. They say they are not responsible for them.

My bank has had us change checking accounts which has caused us all kinds of other work to change all our billings, payments, etc. We now have a new checking account where they can't get to us again.

Hopefully we will see our refund at least for the $54.95.

For refund,
Please fill the form at http://www.secretcashcardservice.com/cgi-bin/refund.cgi.

At the beginning of May, my son was searching the web to get a credit card. He searched several sites and gave my bank account to them because he needed to have a bank account to have any funds deposited to. He selected one, did business with them and thought that was that. Three companies, including Ever Private Card Service decided to debit my account with their $29.95 and $49.95 charges, totally unauthorized by me or my son. These plus all the $35.00 insufficient funds charges on my account sent my account to almost $500 overdrawn. I did know it until I happened to check my account on-line one day and it was already close to $300 overdrawn. The bank credited my account with over $200 dollors of service fees and some of the money that they paid, thinking that I had just overdrawn my account. I put a block on these companies and have not done anything but made deposits in order to get the account back to a positive. I contacted this Ever Private Service a few weeks ago that they were trying to do something illegal and they didn't really care and said even though it was my account, I had no say so as to what they did. I checked my account again today, 5/30/07 to see if a $40 deposit had gone in to bring my account down to a $75 overdrawn, slowly hoping to pay it off. Low and behold, Ever Private Card Service had tried to submit another unauthorized $29.95 charge again, taking my bank account to a minus $150. This is a nightmare. The bank said that there is nothing else they can do. They will not close the account until all of the overdraft is paid. I am retired and live on a fixed income and do not have $150 laying around to pay them off. How can a company have constant access to an individuals bank account, unauthorized. What can I do to make them at least return the service charges that I have been charged and to leave my bank account alone? Isn't there anything legal that I can do?

Something, anything! At this rate, I will never be in the black with this account. With the money I am having to use to pay this off, it is taking away from my food, gas, and other creditors.

Please someone tell me how I can get these vultures off my back.

On June 21st my account was debited $54.95, for which I was also charged a series of NSF fees from my bank for $20.00 a piece. My auto insurance's automated debit was very similar in price, so originally I ignored it.

Then, upon returning from vacation, I see another charge of $54.95 on June 22nd! No NSF fees this time, but since finding this site and reporting to my bank the numerous complaints for fraud, they tell me that they can do a late check return, unauthorized debit, but that would cost me $20 per return! That's $40 my bank charges me just to send back a fraudulent check!

I have printed most of these complaints and am on my way down to my local police station to first file a complaint and charges for fraudulent action. Then I will contact the Attorney General's Office, who is apparently investigating these people as we speak.

That address is as follows...

State of California
Office of the Attorney General's Office
Department of Justice
P.O. Box 944255
Sacramento, CA
[protected]

I will also be emailing each of you separately to sign a "Petition" to sue, which was recommended by a lawyer. Accumulate ALL charges associated with this drafts, such as bank fees, NSF fees, etc... Get your total and sign this petition!

The most anyone can do right now is call [protected] where you will actually speak to a live person who will then inform you to file a complaint and return form at www.contacteverprivate.com and she said it will take between 10-14 days for a return to be mailed to you.

File charges with your local police department and write to the Attorney General.

This company deducted $49.95 using check number 9999 from my checking account. I filed a protest with the bank because I have not done business with this company and in fact never heard of them. How can they be stopped from collecting information on unsuspecting people?

I found out today after going to my bank that I bounced 2 checks from an unauthorized item of 49.95 using check # 9999. My bank reversed the check fees but will not reverse the check amount. I contacted the Sheriff department and plan to go to all extremes to find these people. NOBODY that steals my money will get away with it for long. I will be contacting the FBI and also an attorney. Ever Private Card Services, I hope you are reading this because you have messed up alot of people and you have taken food out of our children mouths. You are nothing but a bunch of greedy people and you will answer one day to God above on judgment day. Just remember alot of people are angry and in the end you will be caught so go ahead and laugh, it could be your last one.

These people withdrew $54 from my bank account and I didn't know it until I happened to check my account online. I don't even know what this is for or who they are. I called their numbers and can't get any help or info. I have to call my bank on Monday. What a rip-off.

On 5/25/07 i applied for a payday loan on line and somehow this scam of a company (ever private) stole my info off the loan site and took 54.95 out of my checking account. I called the customer service number which appeared in an email sent to me. I told the service rep had never been to their site and gave my info to authorize anything. I asked her what the amount was and what it was suppose to be for, she told me it was for a prepaid debit card and the charge was for 49.95 witch would be cash out of the checking account, at that point i asked for a refund and she told me she was unable but gave me a website to dispute the charges. At that point i got upset and told her ill handle this with my bank. I wish i never had said that cause they changed the amount and made out a check instead of cash so even though i called my bank an stopped payment they still was able to take my money. Shoot the stop payment was for an ach of 49.95 since that was the info they gave me. Understand i had no idea who, what, where this had came from but the only site i have ever put my info like that in was on 5/25/07 and thats were they had to have gotten it. My bank did refund me the n.s.f charges acquired by this problem but i owe my account 54.95 as of today 6/1/07... i am currently notifying the attorney generals office and the federal trade commission as will as the state commission agency. I also put a fraud alert to all 3 credit! beuras.

Yes, I also was caught up in your little scam of getting 29.95 withdrawn from my checking account on 4-6-07. Called the number given to me by my bank [protected]) only to have noone to talk to me on the phone. How convenient. Was given a website that only directed me to a debt consolidation site. I have filed a Fraud investigation, and my friends I will have my money back. Ever Private Card Service wont be getting any more money either for that account is closed. So thank God Ever Private Card Service can't do it to me again. They are a sorry sack of [censored] and will get what is coming to them by law!

More research has led me to find out this address:

Ever private card service
647 comino de los mares #108 - 217
San clemente, ca 92673

Still no working company phone number.

Try typing in ever private card service.com (Case sensitive) i kept doing it until i accessed their website. A form will pop up fill it out and they will send a comment back. Not the right answer.
The bottom line is this company is a fraud and please everyone impacted by them file a complaint with the ftc. Thanks.

On 4/25/07 Ever Private Card Service submitted check #9999 for $49.95, I went to bank online and noticed this fraudulent behavior because of this I charged and over draft fee plus the $49.95. I need for my overdraft of $35.00 dollars plus $35.00 for insufficient funds,this matter needs to be corrected asap. If not I will point an attorney to resolve this matter which will cost this company more than they have taken from, unauthorized charge, policy law and additional finances out of my pocket. Thank You

Ever Private Card Service somehow got my checking account information and withdrew $49.95 with a fake check that had my name on it. The check number was 9999. On the fraudulent check it has a website for them as www.everprivatecardservice.com which is not a website anymore. When I first seen the charge I got onto the website and filed a complaint and was given a service ticket number and told someone would contact me. Never heard from them. The phone number listed is not a working number either. I've never even heard of this place then it just showed up on my bank statement. My bank cant help me with this either.

I received my bank statement to discover that this company submitted an arronious check to my account in the amount of $49.95 Check # 9999. I have never authorized this company to do this and I want my money back of $49.95 plus the overdraft fee I was charged by my bank of $32.00. It seems that I am not the only one who has been charged this and it has recked havoc on me I am on Social Security Disability and because of this it caused 3 other legitimate checks to have NSF my bank paid these but charge me $32.00 each for a total of an additional $96.00. I am furious and want something done about these people.

I made a complaint to my bank for letting you take money out of my account. This the second scam the first was EDP now Ever Private. I still hasn't received my money back from EDP its been two years. It should be a law to put you people in jail for this. Maybe the scams will stop. Just give me my money back. I think I may have to get me a lawyer and let him handle it, because I am feed up.

I am in the hole now because of this company. I did not authorize this transaction, i need my money back in this account asap! Hard working honest people are getting taken by these scam artist and there is not a damn thing that we as citizens can do about it. What is the use of putting your money in the bank when it is not protected? I had the same thing happen to me previously at another bank months ago by secret cash card, do know who they are either, so i changed banks thinking that it wouldn't happen again, boy was i wrong!

I called my bank account on April 4 2007 to check my balance to see that i was overdrafted by 149.95, I immediately went to my bank to see why and found that Ever Private Card had made a withdrawal of 49.95 that I never authorized. They are refusing to refund my money and my bank is now going to have to file an affidavit with the loss department to try and get my money back. I want to file a class action suit against this company and i want find out where they are located. Any information will be helpful.

I had this happen with another card company last year. I ended up having an argument with the Rep. I told him I didn't want the card and he told me I had to authorize it or they wouldn't have my information. I think they go to the sites where I apply for a payday loan. When I am not approved, they offer a debit card. I NEVER accept these offers. They would do me no good. You have to order from their sources... SCAM

I finally told him for the 10th time that I did not want it and he got very mad and said "thanks for wasting my time, lady" How do I get my money back?

They took a check out in the amount of $49.50 out of my checking account without authorization and I never used their services something needs to be done about this company. I work for a law firm and I'm going to seek restitution from them. Everyone seems to know this is a problem and they need to be stopped and put out of business.

I work hard to take care of a disabled wife and 6 kids i need all the money i can get but this company whom i have never heard of took money from my account. My bank always sends me copies of cleared checks i get my bank statement today along with the checks when i came across a check for 49.95 check number 9999 to ever private card services. The bank says that i need to come into the bank and fill out an affidavit and change my account number get new checks and a new debit card this is not fair but that is what i have to do before they get me for more money.
