I received a green postal card in the mail claiming that I have been identified as a possible recipient of a government grant of at least $5,000.00

As a struggling independent contractor (in business for myself), the ad sounded great. After completing a 30 minute prequalifying phone call was told I was eligible for no less that a FREE $5,000.00 Government grant. It all sounded TOO good to be true.

After giving them (Kensington Consulting/Kensington Assistance Agency)my bank account and routing number, I was advised that I would be electronically debited the amount of $299.97 After four (4) days, I started to have "buyer's remorse" so I called their customer service number (866-314-3912) and gave the gentleman my verification number and asked not to be debited the amount of $299.97 I was told it was too late, and the process could not be reversed.

What I should have done BEFORE calling this rip-off outfit, was Google the firm... boy I wish I had done that. My next phone call was to the Claims Dept. of my bank and explained the situation to them.

My bank was very understanding and has insured me that the Claims Dept. will fight them on my behalf, and my chances of getting my $299.97 are very good!!

I wish I knew of your web-site BEFORE getting involved with these rip-off artists.

I forwarn everyone... stay far, far away from Kensington Consulting/Kensington Assistance Agency. They are no good!!! No matter how good the offer sounds... it's a big rip-off and I wish the City of New York could shut them down immediately.

Don't make the same mistake(s) I did.

POSTED: Tuesday, March 28, 2006

After I felt I was "duped" by Kensington Assistance Agency/Kensignton Consulting/ Kensington Group/ Kensington Rip-Off Outfit, when they out right refused to reverse the electronic ACH debit to my checking account, I immediately called my Bank, Bank of America. Spoke with three (3) various representatives in the electronic claims/fraud division, had just faxed to VA on 03/24/2006 the form they mailed me to be completed.

Am happy to say I was refunded and credited back my full amount of $299.97 by Kensington Assistance Agency/Kensington Consulting. In a total of thirteen (13) days I received my money back, in full!! Do as the editor of ripoffreport.com suggests, call your bank immediately!! You have sixty (60) days from when the transaction is posted to your account to file such a complaint. And remember, DO NOT take no for an answer from your financial institution.

I'm sorry to hear not everyone was as lucky as I was. I am also very thankful that ripoffreport.com is out there. Sorry I didn't check out the sight first.
