Money Magazine has a good article this week (see below) that deals with what happened to our family. We have always paid our bills on time and had the best credit rating available. But our credit card company has been changing its rules, often with little notice, and always in legalese that's sent out in fine print. This article calls it "unfair costs for consumers" and we agree. http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/04/pf/wakeup_washington.moneymag/index.htm?postversion=2008110509 A wakeup letter to Washington Note to... read full review »

Was mislead stating the equipment was FREE, then told afterwards was free to use. The contract you view online will show comments that do not show up after you sign. Will not follow through with rates agreed upon. Very poor customer service, high turnover of employees, so you'll never beable to deal with the rep who signed you up. Having things in writing does not help either. read full review »

When I was in College I survived with loans and a meager job. At my school the loan would be disbursed to the school and refunded to me. If the loan was registered you did not have to pay tuition as the school would wait for the loan. However, at my school 75% of the students live off campus and have rent. Sallie Mae would not disburse the loan until months later...leaving you to pay the rent on your own. However they had no problem charging you interest for money that never left their hands during that time. I was one of the lucky one... read full review »

I hired Lisa Jackson, CPA (aka Lisa S Jackson) to do my taxes for the 2006 tax year. Based on the tax return that Lisa Jackson CPA had completed, I owed a considerable amount of money to the IRS and was concerned that there must be an error in the preparation of the taxes. I took all of the documentation that I had given Lisa Jackson CPA to another accountant who then reviewed my taxes and found that Lisa Jackson CPA had overlooked numerous deductions. Lisa Jackson CPA had failed to ask the questions necessary that would lead to my... read full review »

People from this company have been calling my house wanting to speak with someone I don't even know. They make no secret of the fact they are a collection agency and are calling to try to settle a debt. I have spoken with some of their collectors on three different occasions now, and have told them each time that the person they are trying to reach is not at this number. They are usually very rude, acting as if they don't believe me (one of them even hung up on me), and they continue to call.
