This way we will make less money and the client will make more'. The reality is the planner makes more although it sounds like a better deal for the client. This is the easiest lie to sell in the financial services business. 'We do not charge a commission, we only charge a small annual fee'. You hear this guy... read full review »

When I finally got someone to give me a fax number to send a cease and desist since I knew they were a collection agency, they told me they would be having me served with a law suit. read full review »

I am filing a complaint for PayPal Plus Credit GE money. I just caught them not only taking a portion of my monthly payment to finance charges I presume, but also when the billing cycle ends the 7th of every month. They are taking another $55 on top of the portion they took not only a week before from the payment! How can they be double dipping? On top of that they are taking the charge on the 7th from the card itself as a cash advance. How can this be legal! I am filling a complaint with the better BBB also. I smell a lawsuit! For sure!
