WORLD BENEFITS ripoff wont give me my money back applied for credit card got some sort of a plan CHAMPLAIN New York *UPDATE .. World Benefits contacts Rip-off Report. REFUNDS will be given to unsatisfied customers *EDitor's UPDATE 2-20-04!

EDitor's UPDATED info 2-20-04: Rip-off Report is still receiving complaints that they are not receiving the refunds as promised. Rip-off Report has been in contact with the Company and has made them aware of these issues. They have assured us that refunds are being given to those who are providing them with all the correct contact information requested by them. They have also provided confirmation/proof of over 2,600 refunds to date, on a spreadsheet, and Rip-off Report staff called and verified more than a dozen consumers at random, all very angry & outraged, but, they all did get their refund. The company again apologized for the delay and reported that credit to your account could take as long as 4-5 days. As we understand it, this company only does the processing for all the other companies, so they are at the mercy of those companies funds, further delaying your refund.

Rip-off Report is hoping they will live up to what they have promised, we think they will, ..we'll see. Rip-off Report will continue to investigate more into this situation, and we will eventually post an UPDATE to the main Report at this web address: https://www.ripoffreport.com/view.asp?id=76605

Please be patient, we can only tell you what they are telling us.

CLICK HERE to see how World Benefits contacted Rip-off Report, stating they will give REFUNDS to unsatisfied customers.

I applied for a credit card and instead recieved some package talking about a plan to repair my credit. I sent around 50 dollars to get the card and got a letter then a phone call saying that I would need to give them my account number for a one time fee of 300 dollars. I still did not get a card but the money was withdrawn from my account. Around two weeks later I recieve this package with discounts for various things and no credit card but an application for one (I'd have to pay another 50 dollars to apply). I sent the package back and a letter explaining why I did not need their help repairing my not so bad credit. This was the ending of January and it is now the end of March and I have not heard anything or recieved anything. They ripped me off for almost 400 dollars!!!!
