This company will get your information from grant related searches you may have done on the internet. They call you (so far only Indian sounding accents) to explain how the service works. They have pre-qualified you for the grant etc... They will file all needed paperwork on your behalf and direct deposit the funds into your account within 5 bus days. You have to promise to leaxe X-amount in your account untouched for them to collect at a later date as fee for the service - so you really don't come out of pocket. As you go through the authorization process you agree to free add ins like long distance service, towing service, airline tickets, vacation packages etc... They give you the phone numbers to call and cancel these services very fast and almost impossible to hear. Once you have agreed to everything they give you a confirmation code and direct you to the website.
By electronically signing into the website you agree to the terms they have set for you, but you can't actually sign into the site the whole way until they debit fees from your account. I called and canceled immediately, and was lucky enough to get a human being on the phone - but I called today and the mailbox is 'full'.

They called me back today and promised to make the deposit within 15 mins to my account. Yeah right - it's been over 3 hours now and nada. But, I have already moved all my funds to a seperate account, and notified my bank of possible fraudulent activity on my account so they won't be getting anything from me.

Don't expect a rebuttle from this company, and don't fall for it. Obviously times are hard and I'm desperate, so I took a chance - luckilly I wasn't stupid about it. I wrote down everything, names, numbers, ID numbers etc... I will be reporting this company to the BBB.

I GOT MY REFUND!

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

POSTED: Thursday, May 05, 2005

Finally, some closer to this nightmare...

I called and called regularly, and would not take no for any reason.

I did file an affidavit with my bank, but it didn't even get processed yet. I let the company know I had filed, and that if I didn't get a refund prior to my bank taking action then I would simply let them handle it!

Last bit of helpful info for those of you waiting for your refunds...

Your Choice Inc...
The same number I posted earlier has extensions!!!
I dialed some number randomly and can pass this on to you...
(435) 688-2442 ext. 121 - Brittney {Accounts Payable)
and an email address that is real is grant@yourchoiceinc.com

I hope and pray that all of you will get your refunds, and that the rest of you will see this information here and not get involved with this company.

Thank You Rip-Off Report for giving me a platform to voice my troubles, and a ways of finding out more information from other people like me. If any of you have any questions or concerns, or need any more information please contact me.

More information That may be helpful...

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

POSTED: Monday, May 02, 2005

Among the many addresses and numbers I have listed preciously, I have uncovered even more. This company does alot to stay 1 step ahead of itself by going through many different names etc...

**File with your bank immediately. Yes, you can get a letter in the mail offereing you a refund. But, I have yet to find 1 person who has received it. If you wait out the 60 days you may not be able to file your complaint at all.**

Company Name:
R&R Escapes (AKA - R&R Vacations)
158 West 1600 South Suite 201
St. George, UT 84790

attatched to--
Company Name:
Your Choice Inc.
{same address as above}

Office # - (435)688-2442
Fax # - (435)652-0837

^don't expect anyone to answer the phone though^

You will be given this number for customer service:
1-800-530-4282

You will wait approx. 10 mins for an answer. At this time they will tell you that your refund has been processed then hang up on you with no further information.

The woman I spoke with was named Linda and she was incredibly rude.

~on a side note~
I also contacte my Attorney General's Office for my state after noting on ripoffreport.com that 3 other states were already actively persuing this company.

Additional Information for those who have been victimized:

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

POSTED: Thursday, April 07, 2005

I also wanted to place contact phone numbers in case you feel victimized by this company:

The Main Number is 1-866-884-8492 (this is the number for an always full mailbox)

The other number where you can get someone on the phone between 8-6 Mountain Time is 1-866-416-0639 (You will recieve a message that states they are closed for the 12:00 hour, even at 9 in the morning, but you should be able to get through)

As I stated earlier, I called to cancel immediately after I came to my senses and was told that I was not in the system and that everything would be fine. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

I was charged by several other companies, who even played back a recording of me answering yes to services that WERE NEVER MENTIONED durring the call. Because I didn't know these services were even involved I couldn't cancel within a timely fashion.

Towing/Roadside - 1-516-921-0439

The following are all inter-connected, same recording, same MUZAK, same operators and Supervisors:

Unknown - 1-800-605-4412
R & R Vacations - 1-888-542-4114
Airline Voucher Program - 1-877-819-3025
Telephone Services - 1-888-542-2233

You need to call all these people and cancel immedately. The Supervisor I spoke with was named Jacky WIlliams. I have spoken with operators, Carol, Penny, and LaShondra. They have agreed to mail a dispute letter to my home within 3-5 bus. days. They claim that they will issue a full refund. For all companies, I won't exactly hold my breath but, I will post here if anything comes of it.

I did conact my bank and will be filing to dispute the drafts from my account. Nothing will hapen as fast as the whole process.

These companies even played back my recording agreeing to these services. I had to explain to them in detail about the way I was coerced into agreement and that the voice other than mine on te recording was not the one I heard, nor were the promotional packages anything related to the conversation.

I hope I am helpful to somebody going through this. IF not at least I have a place to vent my frustration!

They Got ME!

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

POSTED: Tuesday, April 05, 2005

I thought I had it all settled, but they got me from my bank account, not once but twice. Any advice? Is there anything I can do? These people took my rent money and I'll be in a shelter within a month if I can't get that money back.
