FIRST EQUITY BUSINESS CARD ripoff FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICE VERY DECEPTIVE COLUMBUS Georgia

First equity has been soliciting my business (Southern Tropic Enterprise) for many months. Finally, i decided to accept thier offer for a platinum business card.
The first billing cycle came very late in the mail with only two days to spare via "snail mali." I was informed that i could make the payment online for quicker service.
iI (foolishly) made the payment online; but only to find out one month later that their online bill pay has an inherent flaw.

It edits out digts on your account number and routing number. This scam allows them to assess you a fee totaling $78.00 for each occurrence. After countless attempmts to reach thier phantom customer service i was told to try the online bill pay once more...Suprise! the same result another $78.00 fee for a returned check; totalling $156.00.

Now this is the clincher: i opted to send in the total balnce via another credit card companies check and was sent an email stating insufficient funds rejected. they had my account frozen for two billing cycles demanding i send in the so-callled balance that they continue to reject receipt. This is only after doing business with them for only 45 days.

hows that for a welcoming commitee. today 3-28-06 i asked to have my account closed and i forwarded a $4000.00 personal check to first equity card. I have decide to remain with my capitol one and my mna card...good bye forever {first equity ripp-off card}
