In October of last year, I received a call from a company telling me that regardless of my past credit history, whether it was bad or I had just not established credit, they were offering me two credit cards, a Visa and a Mastercard with up to a $5000 credit limit.

All I had to do to receive these cards was pay a one time fee of $239 that they would take straight from my bak account. Having never had trouble with a business before, I naively provided them with my bank account number and they took the money in the middle of november.

I was told that I would receive a package with all of my information with 10-14 busines days. I waited, nothing ever came. I waited...

fter about two months of receiving nothing I called my bank to dispute the charge only to learn taht after 30 days the bank can do nothing. I had to take it up with Nexel.

On March 14, after five months of waiting, I called Nexel and spoke with a man named Dave Simmons. he told me that due to Christmas there had been a back up of processing orders and that he saw that my package was still waiting to be shipped out in the processing center and he would have it out right away and I should receive it within 14 business days. I told him that I am a student in college and that I really need the money and that since it hadn't been shipped yet that I just wanted the money put back into my account and forget about the card.

He said that I can not get a refund until I receive that package and then I have to send it back and they can reprocess my order and perhaps give me a refund. When i asked to speak to a manager, he told me that he was a manager. I still have not received my package.

I don't understand how a company can do this and get away with it. I am 22 years old and I am paying my way through college. I needed that money or that card. Isn't here something that can be done? I know this is not legal.

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Building a credit history for college students

AUTHOR: Wilson - Walnut Creek ()

At many colleges, there credit card solicitors or credit card applications stapled on various bulletin boards specifically for college students. The credit card companys (Citibank as one example at San Francisco State)markets to college students on the assumption that they will be graduating with expectations of good income producing jobs.

While in college, I started my credit history with a Citibank card (19%), a Macys department store card, and a Zales jewelry store card. Since my college days, I have closed all three cards and now I have a Wachovia (800-241-7990) gold visa with prime rate for life ($98 annual fee)and a Chase platinum mastercard also with prime rate ($45). I need the prime rate because I have a high balance. Both cards give me a total available credit of $29,000 at prime rate.

Start a credit history, but don't get a secured credit card and don't sign up for a card which requires over $200 just for signing up. Be very careful with your credit or you may end up in bankruptcy.
