I sent in a 500.00 deposit as requested by the company.
And canceled my credit card within 2 days after finding out the amount of interest they were charging.
I have made more than 30 phone calls concerning my money to be refunded to me.People are very very rude and no one ever knows what is happening.Needless to say I am still waiting for my money to be refunded.It has been over 3 months.Agreed I had to wait the 2 billing cycles as they mentioned, but I am still waiting.And another thing is they will not pay any interest on the money they are holding of mine.
I think I will retain an attorney, to see if I can get any interest IF and WHEN they decide to send me my deposit.
NOT REAL HAPPY,
Mark

#2 Consumer Suggestion
I understand and have a suggestion
AUTHOR: Dee In Toronto - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 07, 2009
I went to the chat site and as you will see below I tried to get the info that you were trying to get regarding a refund of your deposit. I changed the name of the rep I spoke with online to just say rep for privacy purposes...
What I would suggest you do is contact the Ombudsman in writing demanding a refund and send it either certified mail or some type of mail service where you can track it (Xpresspost, priority courier, etc). That way you have a date indicating that it was sent and received. Now I am assuming that this was for a guaranteed card (which by the way you should never try to get. It is one of the worst credit cards to have. The interest rates on them are always high and they are set up in such a way to basically get as much money from you as possible, even more than regular credit cards...get a prepaid credit card instead it is much easier to control. BMO and Royal Bank have them for a low fee and they have the same rights and privileges as a regular credit card).
Hope this helps!

500$ at an average savings interest of 2% annually, compounded quarterly comes out to....
$2.45 Man that is a lot of interest to sue over.
If you are just now in the third billing cycle I would look for it soon. If you start pushing 4-5 months then I would start looking to file a small claims court case against the company.
Its not worth it to hire a lawyer over 500$, you will eat up all your money in legal fees.
