After being downsized by a large company, I was in search of an affordable home based, 1 man business opportunity. I came across Lease One Corporation in several of the 'Franchise Opportunity' websites. Although the $20, 000 investment was substantial, it was relatively little in comparison to the type of investments required by most of the options I found...

I purchased 4 new Yokohama tires for my Audi from Tire Kingdom on Clark Rd, Sarasota in February 2008. Three thousand miles later my rear tires were completely bold. When I asked for replacement the manager, Bhadresh Desai, at first denied selling me the tires (although I had a receipt), than accused me of 'spinning' my car and damaging the tires on...

I feel really stupid now after reading another report about Exploretalent.com. I had signed up on a free membership a while back and in late January/early February received an email saying that a casting director was interested in me. When looking to see what it was, it turned out to be for a local hair show and it paid $100. I was really excited about the...

This firm is NO GOOD. They are in business because they don't just get what the customer owed - they take money that does not belong to them. They steal from your bank account. They do not serve papers nor give people time to reply or attend court. They refuse to give paperwork PROVING, VALIDATING A DEBT. My payments were not recorded, and there is a...

I had a DSL internet & phone bundle with Qwest from Nov 2006 - Apr 2008. I switched over to another Internet provider(Charter Cable) in mid-April 2008 and also switched over to Vonage, the VOIP based phone service. They have the number portability service where they can transfer your existing phone number to their service. To do this, they(Vonage) directly...

My wife and I made a small purchase with our Capital One Visa card that accidentally took our account slightly over our credit limit. Rather than deny the sale because it would take us over our limit, Capital One granted the sale because they wanted the business, then charged us a penalty of $39.00 (more than the over limit amount) and to add insult to...

A company called Ad Efx came into my business selling their services. I was told that a professional team of salesmen would go out and sell coupons for $50.00, and I would get new customers. This was a way to get new people coming in. I signed with them in March 2006, and heard from David from Ad Efx around the 10 if May. He told me that he was going to be...

This bank is one of the more nefarious predator banks in the US. Run by ther secretive right-wing Bruce Lauritzen, this is a bank that victimizes it's customers in many ways. Avoid this bank like the plague!!! The 'original bank of Enron'---Enron, born in Omaha in 1982, got it's first loans from this bank---FNBO's back office mutual funds are run by Goldman...

This company preyed on me when I was most vulnerable, right after a divorce. They promised me a better loan with better interest, and an ARM would be the best thing for my situation. Little did I know that the best for me would have been to stay with USDA. My payments with USDA would never have gone up to more than $758 per month. My payments are with...

I almost hate to admit that I am the ex of one of these CON-ARTIST. In my dealings with him in our duration of courtship, I was a witness to the enjoyment they laughed about, over high-end, expensive drinks they had after hours at bars on monies they where paid from ripping these innocent people off. They actually go to bars and discuss their daily victim...

We purchased a brand new Apple G5 Power iMac on January 8, 2006. Or so we thought. It was a demo and it didn't work so we took it back. On January 9, 2006, they gave us a brand-spanking new machine. We went home and registered it. On January 3, 2007, realizing the one year warranty was about to expire, we bought an Apple Care Plan through Apple. After...

My youngest son opened his first checking account after getting his first real job. He went to sovereign bank because it was right up the street. He had his check direct deposited to the bank and received his gold card. Can you imagine our surprise when his second check to the bank was completely consumed by $33.00 insufficient funds fees. We were shocked...

Southern Waffle House purchased the Nashville based franchise from Tree Top Group in 1999 by the Shaub family and have grown the business now to 113 stores. Those of us who grew up with Waffle House (from the 1950's) know that WH is a legend in their own time, and we know and appreciate what we have had over years. SE WH recently chose Chapter 11 bankruptcy...

I was checking hotel prices on priceline and they charged my credit card without my consent or permission, using credit card information that they had stored from a transaction 6 months ago. I never logged into priceline, checked the 'initial' boxes, or hit any 'buy' button.
I only found out that I had been charged for a hotel room (on my wifes credit card...

I began going to Axia College of University of Phoenix in late August of this year (2008). I chose an online university because I would be able to essentially go to college with my fiance, whom also started at Axia at the same time. I had already spent two years at a local university in a major I did not continue pursuing; I had high expectations for thi...

I got a letter in the mail today American Family is canceling my homeowners insurance in January of 09. I am quite frankly stunned. I signed up with A.G. last year after having homeowners with another company for several years and no problems. At their urging since I had auto insurance through A.G. they gave me a good quote for comprehensive coverage and I...

First of all I want to let you all know that we have never ever missed a payment to this company. If I could turn back time we would have never bought a car from Drivetime. They raked us over the coals after 'approving' us wanting to know the names and phone numbers of 3 (three) family members, 3 personal friends, employers, etc. Granted, if a person skip...

Avis requires that receipts be presented when cars are returned, showing that the gas tank was filled within five miles from the return location.
Returning a car from a distance of more than five miles away at 5:30 a.m. in a strange city where gas station locations and hours are not known means driving around hoping to be safe, finding an open station, and finding the way back to the airport car rental location.

The range was delivered 1/17/08, it was non working at that time. Convection fan was not working, thermostat was not working, ignitors for the burners were not working. It took dozens of calls and not until March was it repaired.
Again in August I started having problems again. The convection stopped working, the broiler stopped working and when you use...

Hi all! Today I was surprised how this company (Avanti) acted very rude and unprofessional towards their customer. During one hour of experience with them when I checked my cell phone call out log I happened to call them 7 times and still didn't get any result, even though I was trying to work it out with them but they was not willing to listen. Making long...
