freedomcs.com took 49.95 out of my checking account immediately because i thought i was getting a payday loan. this company is very deceptive in their practices and should be monitored alot closer. i keep being told i will get a refund but it has been 35-40 days and still no refund. what i am confused about is that they immediately took out my 49.95 out of my account so why am i having to wait so long to get my refund if in fact i do get a refund. what kind of  country are we living in when companies are allowed to do this? if i coulkd find a physical adddress on this company i would send them a very unpleaseant letter but like the cowards they are they hide behind the internet and scam people out of their money. please provide me with some insight on this matter. this is just wrong!

they also took 49.95 out of my account. i never submitted a form to them or gave them any of my information. i dont understand how they can do that. now i have to go to my bank and try to dispute the claim. they have messed up my account. when i find anything out about them i will be taking them to court. when i do find out they will pay for what they have done to alot of people. it is a federal crime to take money from an account without the cosent from the owner. it is a serious crime. if any one knows even any information on the matter please me know something. i will be having someone look into it.

I TOO WAS SCAMMED OUT OF $49.95 OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, IT WAS BEING TAKEN OUT IN INSTALLMENTS AND I DID NOT AUTHORIZE IT AT ALL!! *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account that someone wrongfully takes it from you!

I too was a victim of a scam of this company.  They told me I authorized this when I applied for a payday loan on one of those payday loan web sites whom match you up to a lender.  When I see boxes come up asking if I am interesting in joining a club or whatever, I always make sure to hit no or not interested, whatever the case may be.  When I used their live chat, they told me I would be getting my fees of $17.95 in the mail in the next 30 days.  When I googled their address after I asked where the check would be coming from, I googled this and it came up as an office building and this company was not listed as a tenant on the web page where the office building was located.  When I asked them to confirm they were located from what appeared to be a large shopping mall, they ended the chat session, so I am starting to believe this is a scam operation.  I too do not recommend you do business with this company either.  We shall see if we get this money back in 30 days.  I am not counting on it.  I have more faith in my bank returning my money to me then I do for this company returning my funds to me.  Good luck to any future victims of this company.   It sounds like you will need it.  There appear to be several complaints on ripoff report about this company.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back! HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO: Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E. According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days. If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges. Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent! DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get. And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state. Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth. If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form. CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here. Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action. And good luck Let us know how you do!
