My husband was contacted by this company several times via unsolicited phone calls, but being new to credit he was looking for something to start off his credit in motion. He was lead to believe this was an unsecured visa card and made point to ensure it was not a catalog card. $200.00 dollars later he was informed that he would recieve his card when the activation fees were paid. That turned into when he returned paperwork he never recieved. Twenty phone calls later and being hung up on most of the time when we told them to just put the money back, we are frusterated and seeking legal council in the area they are in we are in need that if any one has any more of than the five addresses we've found so far or the 3 phone numbers, that you will post them for all to use. The # that works any day is 800-963-6230. The rest will either be busy or notin or hang up.

response to open your ears, "Open your eyes "

The whole point to the subject is that nothing was given for the monies taken, no card, no catalog card, Nothing. The money was taken and nothing was recieved. Not even a denial of credit letter. It was promised a catalog card and $1000.00 cash advance available. What part of, "Nothing", don't you get!!!!!!

#7 Consumer Suggestion

Open your ears

I know how these companies work.When you are called and offered a line of credit,you are switched over to a verification system and a recording of all terms and conditions,and up front, the recording will state that it is "NOT" affiliated with a major credit card company.Also,I have used these particular programs to restore my credit rating,they do work.In these recordings it states ATLEAST 3 times and more what kind of card it is..a catalog card.Then the rep has to ask you at the end if you agree to the recording while being recorded "and" monitored. So how is this a rip off.Most people don't even realize they can't get a major credit card, and in my opinion paying $200 to be a member of their program and use it for "JUST" a few months so you CAN get a major credit card, is small price to pay.Hands down,if you don't understand what you are agreeing to on a recording,then don't say YES ,or ask to hear the recording again and make your decision .The scammers are the consumers that agree to SERVICES,and then go to their banks and say they never authorized the charge.AND THAT IS FRUAD

If you REALLY want to get to the person responsible for things over at American Financial, I will give you his address and phone number.

John Buschel - Owner American Financial

He is a jerk, so he deserves whatever harrasment he gets. He is driving a top of the line Mercedes sports coupe, while he pays meager wages to the employees who make him rich.

Have fun!!!

American Financial card aka Capitol Financial card

AUTHOR: Melissa - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, December 02, 2006

As of today I was informed most banks are aware of this company and if you call them and explain they will more that likely help you with your misfotune. They in turn send out a fraud report for you. Remember also that they will still have your info so unless you close the account THEY ARE ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND TAKE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!
