Great Fun deduction from chkg. acct. w/o my consent.

TLG without my signing up for this service deducted 11. 99 from my chkg. acct. I don't know how this happen. This was a first time deduction and I did catch it early. From this site I obtained an address and telephone # [protected], thank you). I did call and spoke to a woman named Jack and explained the situation. She hesitated to cancel but I let her know that I read the complaints about this company online and did find out that I had 30 days to cancel this service. She then honored my request. I did get a cancellation code code and a promise that my money would be refunded. I will monitor TLG and write a follow up.

let me tell you what great fun!did to me, a month ago i bought a box of checks off the internet thru artistic checks.com, i paid for the checks by using my debit cardthru my checking account. everything seemed fine, until i checked my bank account, and i know how much money was in there, 9dollars and some change ] wll anyway my account said i was negative, and i said how i havent used my card? they said a debit in the amount of 12.99 was deducted from my account and that great fun made the withdrawl, i have never heard of great fun, and i flipped out, so my bank gave me there number and i called them{greatfun} they told ma a bunch of bull crap about when i bought the checks thru artistic, they enrolled me automatically enrolled inthis membership, well i told them i did not consent to be a member of there club and i sure's hell didnt authorize them to take money out of my account, and that it is illegal, and that i wanted the membership cancelled, and i wanted my money back and i informed them that they will be paying my overdraft fees! to my bank so they told me to get a copy of my statement and fax it to them and they would credit my account.somehow i feel they won't, it all seemed to easy, they are in a buisiness to scam people out of money, and they dont want to lose money, so the question i have is why are they scaming money out fo peoples accounts, knowing eventially people are going to find out and there going to want there money back, and they are going to have to pay these people back, so how are they making money and how can these scamers stay in buisness? i will personally see to it they will be put out buisness! times are hard and money is tight! we don't need people like this screwing us hard working citizens over like that! i sympathize with all of you that got scammed like i did! great fun is not such great fun!more like a great f... over! sincerely, linda a salsbury victim of the great fun scam

Great Fun unwanted membership

I purchased an airline ticket on line, and then two months after the ticket was used, I received a letter from letter and form from Great Fun/Priceline informing me that I was enrolled in a membership program with Great Fun. Membership in this program was not part of the airline purchase, nor was I informed of such monthly-dues enrollment. I contacted the company and told them I was not interested and did not wish to join. In response to my concern, the company sent me their packet explaining the benefits. Please respond. Thanks.

I too purchased a ticket though priceline last year and I just noticed I have been paying a unwanted Greatfun membership fee! I called Greatfun @ [protected] and they were cooperative enough to refund the last month charge. Are these practices anywhere close to being legal?

I have also been scammed by these TLG loans people, they took 149.00 pounds out of my bank account unauthorised. I tried to make contact but all l got was total ###. These people are just getting away with fraud and nothing is being done to protect the vulnerable public. I immediately cancelled my debit card and informed my bank who are assisting in claiming this back. The best advise to anyone is do not ever deal with these rotten lot, they don't do any loans at all other than fraud.

TLG took £49.99 from my son (who is 19 and only on 18 hours per week)they took it without permission and he has to now pay bank charges on top of £88.00. He has been told by the bank it is an Amercian company with offices you can't ring in stockport and he is unlikeley to get his money back he has had to change his bank details because be warned they can access your account again. I think this company should be STOPPED they are robbing people blind. PLEASE NOTE DO NOT TALK TO THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY THEY WILL ROB YOU AND YOU DO NO NEED TO GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT AS THEY WILL DO IT ANYWAY.

Its an absolute disgrace whatthis company are being allowed to get away with . My stupidity has cost me £30 because that was all the funds that was available in my account at the time .TLG loans did nt even inform me that i had been declined a completly different company contacted my self asking if they could help me, as my application had been denied . TLG who must be a broker had informed other company s that the loans was for consolidation where in fact i had applied for a home improvement loan . I am furious with my self for being so gullable but i think its terrible that any company could get away with such blatent fraud .

I was charged 149, 99! No loan, obviously and the phone call went exactly as described in other complaints. I must thank nosheen hussain because this is the only complaint that offered us a telephone number to ring to [protected].
I already did it and someone at TLG loans told me I would be refunded in the next 7 to 14 working days... Today is the 7th day already... What do you think... will I see the colour of my money back in my account?
I will keep you up to date concerning this.
Meanwhile on that phone call I was given another phone number, which is [protected].
Any ideas on what to do if not refunded?
Thanks,

We have no idea why charges of $11.99 are appearing on our Bank Statement. We never noticed it until doing our taxes this year and going through our expenses. This is quite insidious. there is an 800 number that we will try to call in the morning. We appreciated finding others with this complaint on this site which is making us think that this is, in fact...

You took an admin fee of 49.99 from me yet you have not given me a loan. In fact I have heard nothing from you I would not
have let you take this money had I known it would be for nothing.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACTING ME THINKING YOU WILL DEFINATELY GET IT BACK, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR ME.

OK GUYS, WE ALL NEED TO TAKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND RELAX!

THIS IS FIXABLE. I AGREE THAT THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY FOR THEM TO GO ABOUT IT.

OVER A WEEK AGO TLG LOANS HAD WITHDRAWN £49.99 FROM MY ACCOUNT, OF WHICH COST ME IN TOTAL OF £79.99 AS THE BANK DECIDED TO CHARGE ME £30 FOR GOING OVER MY ACCOUNT LIMIT. THE PAYMENT TO TLG LOANS WAS NOT AUTHORISED BY ME SO AS ALL OF YOU I WAS FUMING, BUT REALISED I COULD EITHER CONTACT THE POLICE AND FILE A CASE FOR FRAUD (WHICH IT IS) OR I COULD READ MORE ABOUT IT AND SEE WHAT I COULD DO MYSELF.

THAT CHARGE BY THE BANK IS NOT REFUNDABLE BUT I HAVE CONTACTED A NUMBER GIVEN TO ME AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY MONEY BACK.

I MAY HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

AS SOON AS I HAVE MY MONEY REFUNDED TO ME I WILL BE IN TOUCH TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THE PROCEDURE. AS IF THEY GET TOO MANY COMPLAINTS IN ONE GO THEY MAY CANCEL MY REFUND!

I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH ALL CONCERNED WITH THIS LOAN COMPANY ASAP!

SCAM! The Loan Supermarket/The Lending Group SCAM!

AKA: CARTER AND CARTER

I had £99.99 taken from my bank account.
If anybody has applied for a loan through this company. You have probably had from £39.99 - £349.99 taken out of your bank account for a one off 'administration fee'.

All the people they 'rob' off are asked to give their bank details - long digit on your card number and your 3 digit security code. You are told this is for 'security' OR 'validation/verification'

After giving these details - which most people do not question to give out - which is understanding - as the websites of the company look legitimate and very professional. You are then told there is an administration fee ranging from £49.99 to £149.99 which they take off you as soon as you put the phone down. I do not know how they work out how much your 'application' will cost to process but the most they can get the better. (Commision based) - even if you change your mind after giving details of your account or you want to have a think about the loan you have applied for. They will STILL take your money.

They send you NO paperwork
If your loan has been declined you are told you are entitled to your money back. And you have an every right as it is your money.
No matter how many letters you send or phone calls you make you will never get your money back. The people on the phones are not there to help you but to simply make money out of you and others.

This is theift and it needs to be stopped. Thousands of people are getting robbed and 'fobbed off' when they try and do something about it.

STOP wasting your time and money on phone calls and letters and go to BBC's watchdog, consumer direct, police.

WAYS TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK

Another option may be to approach your bank. They may be able to do an IMDEMNITY CLAIM and refund your money, then their retail fraud team would investigate and claim the money back from the company.

Their is ALOT of negative feedback on the internet about theloansupermarket many people have contacted watchdog, and from what I've read there has been interest from the BBC to investigate what is going on here. If enough people do this maybe it will push them to take action...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/ ...just click on the 'Got a Story' link to tell them what has happened to you.

The Office of Fair Trading also has a tool to uncover scams...https://secure.consumerdirect.gov .uk...follow this link and tell them your story.

the more people that do this SOMETHING WILL BE DONE.

Hi Sarah and Wesley. This complaint about TLG loans has already been submitted and they did the same to me. The complaint that has already been made has been replied to by at least 20 something people. I had money take out a few days ago by this company and I never even authorized this. It looks as though it's a big scam and people are complaining by the day. If you type in TLG loans in google you will find 2 results for this complaints board. The second one has loads of comments from other people who the same thing have happened to. Hope this is useful to you.

I have been charged by TLG*GREATFUN for more than a year now. I just learned about it last week. Due to the current crisis, I just wanted to check my transactions and learned that there is a charge I received from a merchant I never heard of and never had any business in any form or shape. I went on checking each of the back bills and learned that I was being charged by this company for just over a year! I am ready to fight. Any one has any idea how to go for this?

Miles Kimball gave these loosers my cc info. I could only get one month reimbursed back. Now I have to submit in writing to company, who I never authorized to charge my card. Miles Kimball is guilty of giving our customer information. I was given a refund for overcharged shipping costs. Great fun told me it was for a rebate. what a lie. Never will purchase from Miles Kimball in this lifetime again.

I can't find that we ever purchased anything from Miles Kimball, however, that is how Great Fun claims to have received an authorization to charge my credit card. Same situation. Thank goodness they only clipped me for 3 months @ $12.99 and was able to get one month back. This is a major scam by Miles Kimball and suggest that all boycott them as a result.

Great Fun unauthorized charges to credit card

In October 2008, I recognized an unauthorized charge from TLG Credprot on my Chase Credit Card Statement for $120. I called the the number on my statement. A representative from TLG told me I had been "a member in good standing since 2003." He informed me that I was enrolled by my Financial Institution. I called Chase, to whom I pay $8 a month for fraud protection. They immediately canceled my card, and sent me another, which took over a week to arrive during which my automatic withdrawal for my Gym, Netflix, Fast Pass, etc all came up with insufficient funds warnings. Chase opened an investigation into the charges oscillating between crediting my account and then recharging me as the case got bumped between different fraud investigators. I made a told of 20 calls to chase in attempts to understand the issue. My internet research revealed a long-standing history of fraud between Chase and TLG. Eventually, a fraud claims person sent me a note to tell me that the charges for 2007 and 2008 were fraudulent, but that the first 4 charges were not. This made no sense given the fact that if one charge was fraudulent, all must have been. Fast forward to today, January 2009. My new statement from Chase arrived this morning with an unauthorized TLG charge on my new Credit Card account. Chase clearly has given them my information again as the new card was given to me to avoid being charged by TLG. Take-home message, check your statement and don't let these financial institutions off the hook for questionable dealings. It requires effort and illicits frustration, but we need to be willing to stand up for ourselves and not be bled my corporate dishonesty.

Great Fun unauthorized membership charges

I don't even know what service/product the vendor provides. I was inadvertently signed up and cancelled once I realized what had happened. I have disputed the charges with my credit card company and have cancelled the service with the vendor - yet it still appears as a monthly charge. How do we make this stop!

Great Fun bunch of thieves

I am another victim if this "company" I called my Credit Card Company to ask about a payment that I didn't recognize (TLG GREATFN). CC company gave me their number. I called and found that they were stealing 11.99 per month for the last 5 months. They refused to refund. They mentioned that I somehow agreed to subscribe to them via Priceline. They even tried to keep me subscribed to enjoy their service! I called my CC compnay and filed a fraud report, and I am changing my CC numbers.

From now on I will verify every single cent on my statement. I used to go through the bigger payments only. But obviously those thieves were taking small amount hoping they want be recognized and this obviously worked for them.

I submitted a complaint, then went back to my email account and found the email TLG Great Fun sent me, and realized that it was my fault I was charged. They told me since I had joined something I would be charged for it automatically after 30 days, which I didn't pay attention to. So, TLG Great Fun, I'm sorry about that! Please forgive me! My bad.

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

Unauthorized debit card transactions have occurred for 6 mo. before I noticed this fraud. With such a small amount of $11.99 it was easy to slip through each month. However, they obtained my information with out my consent and violated my privacy and had I ot noticed would have continued to do so. I have o idea what this company is and what I should have...

Great Fun unauthorixed billing

I received a phone call from choice motels and signed up for a 60 day trail period. It was to cost 1. I called and cancelled before trail period was up. Choice Motels told me that everything was cancelled and because I was in my 60 days there would be no charges. I just came back from the bank and a a group called TLG Advantage had took 119. out of my account. After calling them, they said that I signed up for it through choice motels. This was a lie. They illegally charged my card. After talking to them they said they would cancel it and refund my money within 7 days. I will update you if they keep their promise.

Great Fun fraudulant charges

I was charged $69.99 on my credit card and fortunately my husband is diligent about checking our charges. I was furious, but was able to call a [protected] and actually talk to a service person...I asked who authorized the charge and where they got my credit card numbers, and he interupted me by saying a "FULL REFUND will be made in one to two months"..This person didnt even bother to answer my questions, he KNEW we were fraudulantly charged for this service! He would not even answer why it would take 1-2 months for this refund! PEOPLE< WAKE UP...and look for any fraudulant charges from this service!

Took 12.99 out twice on the same day for no reason. I've never spoken with the people, purchased anything from them . How are they allowed to take money from me?

Great Fun scam illegal charges on credit card

My wife takes care of all the bills and never ask me who TLG was. I found out that my wife has been paying TLG under 3 different names: TLG " GREAT FUN", TLG " COMPLETE HOMEOWNER" and TLG " "Travel Advantage" at $11.99 each per month ($35.97 per month all three at $11.99 each x 3) since April 2008! That's $359.70! And went uncontested until this week when she finally asked me about TLG.
Each one of the subsideraries of TLG has a different account number, so I had to call all three and cancel them. They told me I had signed up for them and wouldn't refund my money.

Although I have called and cancelled all three TLG accounts I want my $359.70 back, but have no Idea how to get it since It took 10 months to contest the charges.

I would appreciate it if you find out anyway we can all get our money back.
My e-mail address is "[protected]@comcast.net" and my name is Rick.
Feel free to e-mail me if you find out anyway, or anything we can do to get refunded.

Thanks,
Rick
