We too have been ripped off by Federated Financial. We expected lower percentage rates on our three credit cards and to improve our credit.

We have been with them for five months and they have only made one payment to two of our credit cards. Everytime we call, they make promises that they did pay it just hasn't posted yet.

Today we received a phone call from one of our credit cards stating that they know Federated Financial is supposed to be paying them, but wanted to let us know it was not happening. A

After finding this website we attempted to call today, we decided to cancel our services. Hopefully it will turn out OK.

We also let them know we are posting a complaint on this website and in the process of reporting them to the military legal offices and the Florida Attorney General.

I wish we had seen this site before we decided to do business with Federated Financial. Hopefully this helps someone else.

We are trained to lie to customers and the government

AUTHOR: Mike - Tampa (U.S.A.)

One of the reasons I left FFODB, as we named it, is because when the FTC started sniffing around Mr. Smith finds some poor unsuspecting schmuck to answer all their questions and then hopefully that person takes the fall.

Meanwhile, this place is the worst place to work because of all the sexual harassment... a climate create by Miller's partner. Miller tries to make jokes about the fact that his viagra hasn't worn off yet from the night before and he needs somebody to help him before he looses his woody. (Which is disgusting because it has the shape and appearace of a half roll o' Certz.

The he goes into the board room and makes crank calls to disgruntled clients. He has some sort of emulation machine that puts out a phone number, which I don't recognize. The area code is wrong. That is another thing I really detest. He hints around that it is not in their interest to complain, then starts harassing the client who complains.

Steve Miller does not deserve to have the protection of the attorney general. I figure that Miller must have something on the Tampa office for them to work for him so cheaply.

How many republicans do we have to endure before we put Florida out of the business of propagating scams.

Someone should check employee records & DON'T REPORT TO THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL - THEY ARE CORRUPT.

AUTHOR: Mike - Tampa (U.S.A.)

This company pays people off the books and diverts funds taken from clients to personal offshore accounts. I found out about what was going on and had to leave the company before I "disappeared." This company is connected with some really bad people and I started to report it to the Florida AG's office and got more questions about myself than I did about the company. I really got the feeling that they were covering for this company.

My advice is stay away from this company and do not complain to the Florida Attorney General. They are as scary as the people behind federated financial. On top of everything else FFODB sells your personal information to third parties as a way to make additional money. They claim it is all legal because their clients have signed their rights away, but they forge the permission in many cases.

Good luck on putting them away.

Federated Financial is pubicizing names of clients

AUTHOR: Christine - The High Desert (U.S.A.)

Steve Miller, CEO & VP Federated Financial, identified at least 2 clients at their website by first and last name and location.

This is a violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act as well as the Federated Financial privacy policy.

These privacy rights violations were not accidental, but deliberate efforts by Federated Financial VP & CEO Steve Miller to intimidate clients and others who publicly criticized Federated Financial.

He wrote: "This is a good lesson for other clients to contact us first."

Of course these intimidation tactics are illegal.

Steve Miller is aware of my investigation and will probably edit the names out or delete the entire postings. Of course I documented these violations with screenshots, printouts, etc.

I'm NOT an attorney, but an individual determined to have Federated Financial shut down and hopefully put Steve Miller behind bars.

Ahhhhh, Life Is Good! Tell these inbreeds that it's not extortion and that you're just providing a "service". LMAO.

AUTHOR: Reid - Aiea (U.S.A.)

Hello to all,

I hope that this rebuttal finds you in good spirits and health.

Federated Financial seems to be run by a bunch of f%ck!ng morons. I haven't done business with these goons personally, but happen to stumble across a website of theirs where the creator/webmaster seems to be crying extortion.

Absolutely funny $h!t! It would be great if Ed were actually doing what he's being accused of. Finally a fraudulent business would be getting a taste of their own medicine. BOO HOO HOO, no ones supposed to extort money but us!

Keep up the good work Ed and don't allow shills to invade this message board. Tell these inbreeds that it's not extortion and that you're just providing a "service". LMAO.

Until next time, take care Everyone, Aloha from Hawaii and God Bless.
