Consumer First acceptance certificate from Consumer First for a Platinum ripoff bogus credit card ripoff Tampa Florida

I received an "acceptance certificate" from Consumer First out of Tampa, Florida. I had been pre-approved for a Platinum card with a credit limit of $5,000.00 with no interest for one year. I have good credit and wanted to transfer an existing credit card balance to the new Platinum card with no interest.

I sent in the required $45.00 (by check) standard processing and delivery fee on Nov. 8, 2002 and have never received a card. The check did clear my bank. I sent Consumer First a letter demanding that they contact me as soon as they received my letter and to date have not heard anything from them.

When I saw the form letter on this website, (which looks just like mine), I knew I had been cheated out of $45.00. Plus I will have to change my account so they can't take out money from my checking account.

I was online looking for a better deal for a credit card and I'm quite sure this is where Consumer First got my name and address. I am so disgusted with myself, I work part-time and am trying to upgrade my job skills and money is so tight right now.

I will be contacting the attorney general and better business bureau in Florida and see if I can 1) file a criminal report 2) get a refund of my money.
