Unauthorized bank withdrawals
I have an auto loan with GE Money Bank. In November 2008 I authourized a payment for $405.00. Well, the next day they took out another $415.00 out of my checking account since they now have my account information. Not only that they attempted to take out $229.00 a few days later and another $229.00 two days after that. Ofcourse by then my bank account was raped and caused over $275.00 in NSF fees. I called several times and faxed them the information that they requested. Here it is mid January 2009 and have not had this issue solved by them. On top of that they still call me and state that I am late on my payments!! I suckered in and made another payment to stop the computerized harassing phone calls. I spoke to the collections manager Caleb Hanger and told me that they were looking into the unauthorized withdrawals. Again it is now over two month's later. I got Caleb Hangers direct number from an employee and call him everyday regarding my situation. I leave him messages because he either is never in the office or totally disregarding my phone calls.
It appears that it is O.K. for them to get away with taking money out of your account without authorization which to me is illegal and don't even care about following up on THEIR customers complaint. What is a person do when this occurs? My next step is to get lawyers involved. I have already filed a rippoff report and going to call the Better Business Beurau. Dont deal with this finance company! Just google GE money bank ripp off and see all of the others that are in a similar situation!!

PREDATORY LENDING
I think I may be the victim of predatory lending practices by GE Money, but I don't know what to do about it. I am ashamed to admit it, but I know very little about money. When I got my GE Money Bank Card to purchase a ring, it seemed like I should only have to pay about 100/month and that I could remove the balance over time this way. But it turns out I somehow ended up with a 29% interest rate. Now I owe them a bunch of money, I have lost my job and apartment, and they keep calling me for the money. I don't know what to do.

Payment not honored
I made a payment on tuesday January 13th of $800 to my consumer HHGREGG CC, which is managed by GE Money BANK, and the money has been deducted from my checking account, but still today January 16th, the available balance has not been updated. I called the customer service and this rep, Michelle, who I think needs to learn better English, stated that unfortunately the payment has been received but available balance not ready yet. Then I asked for a supervisor, and after 20 min wait, she said that funds some times take several days because of banking transfers...HELLLOOOOOO, we are in the 21st century!!! Is the money traveling in a car pulled by donkeys???
This is the worst bank experience I ever had, but no one can do anything against them, it is a real shame.

Overcharged
GE Money Bank Continues to charge $50 plus in interest to my account and refuses to take it off. I have called several times and they say it is not a no interest promotion account. The store scanned it, the receipt shows the promo card. The store manager has called and asked GE Money Bank to change it.
I have called and asked them to change it. The refuse to change it and say they have no record of anybody calling from the store or me every time we call. This happens every time when using stores that do there financing through GE Money Bank. Sam's club every time, Bass Pro Shops once so far and Big R, this one, once so far. What can I do?

WILL NOT CHANGE payment date
I have been a good paying customer. I faithfully make a payment each month and even pay more than the required amount due in-order to pay the account off faster. The problem is, the date due is BEFORE I get my unemployment check. Therefore, it does not matter how much money I send it is being eatten up by a $39.00 late fee and an larger finance charge added to the account each month. I have written to the El Paso, TX., office -no reply! I called CS today (1/2/09) and was told that there is no way they can change the due date in the system. That is VERY strange!! All companies I deal with can do that -- so now we know HOW --- GE is making all their money off us poor souls who needed to purchase something with a credit card and we are being punished for it! -- CS told me make a payment on-line, then send another payment after the 12th of the month and that will get posted early for the next month. I'll actually be ahead according to CS. ----- I'll give it a try just to see if this will help save me money.

fraud charges
I was approved for a loan in Nov. 2008 in the amount of $4, 900.00 for medical purposes. I did not wish to use this loan and phoned them Dec. 18, 2008 to cancel and close this account which I did not use or receive any service or money on this. I received a letter stating the account was cancelled but I have a balance of $400.00 which they expect me to pay. I will not pay this scam for which the only service they performed was approving a loan for about a month. The company is listed in El Paso, Tx. but the bill comes from Orlando, Fl.

Opt out letters
Are you kidding me? When are the credit card companies going to start acting more responsible and honest about their practices? I recently got an opt out letter in the mail on December 30th saying that the interest rate would be raised on Jan 1st. Give your customers time to send the opt out back. Didn't we just give you 1 billion in bail out money? Why must the financial companies be so greedy and dishonest? Just keep on punishing the customers that pay the bills on time.

late fees
I have submitted two payments online through my checking account. Each one 4 or 5 days in advance of the due date. I was charged late fees on two payments, saying they were not recieved on time. When I made a phone call concerning this I was told it was because they could not recieve electronic payments from my bank. Iwas told that my bank was mailing them. How could a bank as large as GE not accept electronic payments? Is this so that people are forced into using phone payments at the last minute? At a cost of 10-15 dollars. Late fees of 39 dollars, are certainly more profitable than interest. Ihope that they fail and are out business soon because of the stealing.

PAYMENT SCAMS
I HAD THE LOWES CREDIT CARD. I MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT THROUGH SOME CRAZY PAY THING ONLINE. TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR ME, I STARTED PAYING DIRECTLY FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT THAT I HAVE HAD FOR OVER 10 YEARS. I MADE 2 PAYMENTS IN OCT ($30) ($30), 1 IN NOV ($60). I WAS GETTING CALLS SAYING MY BILL WAS NOT PAID, HOWEVER, THE MONEY LEFT MY BANK AND WENT SOMEWHERE. GE MONEY CLAIMED TO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS, BUT IT WAS NOT IN MY BANK ACCT. MY BANK GOT INVOLVED AND WE CONVERSED MANY TIMES WITH GE MONEY TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHERE MY PAYMENTS WHERE. FINALLY, THE INFORMATION CAME BACK. I HAVE A RTG CARD, THAT I OWE $0 MONEY TO. NOT KNOWING GE MONEY BANK OWNS (LOWES AND RTG), GE MONEY PUT THE MONEY ON MY RTG ACCT AND CLAIMED THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED. THEY TRIED TO PUSH IT ON ME SAYING MAYBE I PUT THE WRONG INFORMATION IN MY BANK. IMPOSSIBLE, THE INFO CAME STRAIGHT OFF OF A BILL I GOT FROM LOWES THAT HAS NO INFO ABOUT MY RTG ACCT AND I OWED $0 TO THEM-NO WAY. THE MONEY WAS THEN TAKEN OFF OF THE RTG CARD AND SUPPOSEDLY PUT ON MY LOWES ACCT. IT SHOWS ON THE RTG ACCT THAT THE MONEY WAS TAKEN OFF, BUT LOWES CLAIMS THEY ONLY GOT $90 AND THEY CLOSED MY ACCT AFTER I SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WHO SAID MY ACCT WAS FINE, ALL CHARGES WERE TAKEN OFF, LATE FEES, OVER DRAFT-EVERYTHING. SHE EVEN SOLD ME CARD PROTECTION AND I GOT THE PAPERWORK IN THE MAIL. I MADE ANOTHER PAYMENT ($30) FROM MY BANK ACCT, BEFORE I KNEW ALL WAS WELL AND THERE WAS NO MORE PROBLEMS. LAST WEEK, I WENT TO LOWES TO PURCHASE A FEW THINGS AND MY CARD WAS DECLINED!!! $0 BALANCE $0 CREDIT-------GE MONEY BANK CLOSED MY ACCT TO COVER THEIR WRONG DOING AND I STILL HAVE MONEY MISSING ($30) THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WENT TO GET HER SUPERVISOR BUT HE NEVER GOT ON THE PHONE, SHE SAID ISSUES ON MY CREDIT, WHICH IS THE SAME THINGS ON MY CREDIT WHEN I APPLIED FOR THE LOWES CARD, WHICH TO ME IS A BUNCH OF BULL. THEY SCAMED ME AND TO COVER THEIR BUTTS, THEY CLOSED MY LOWES ACCT WHICH IS UNDER $500, BUT MY OTHER ACCT IS WELL OVER THAT. NOW WHO IS BEING SCAMED?

payment
I phoned in to make a payment on my account because I had forgotten about it - it is usually due at the END of the month but for some reason it has been pushed up to the 26th. Because of the busy season, I just forgot about it until today - the due date. I tried to get online but my computer was so slow, and I finally decided to call customer service to ask if I could pay. The customer service Representative TOLD me because it was 4:55 I would miss the deadline to avoid a late fee. I explained to her that I only owed a miniscule amount, and had not been late in the past if she could this one time show mercy. I was going to be assessed a $39.00 late fee for a $15.00 payment. When I asked if I could speak with a supervisor, she connected me with a continuous voice message that never allowed me to speak with a person. I am very disappointed with your customer service representative, and the policy.
