So much time had passed I just assumed I was declined then eventually forgot all about it.
On May 26, 2005 I decide to close my checking account. The bank associate tells me I can't close my account until all pending items have posted. HUH?! Everything should have cleared by now- what's pending? She tells me, "an ACH debit of $29.95".

I have never looked at my bank statements-- Why? I knew what I purchased. But with this charge being an "agreement" I thought I'd look.

4/25/05 another ACH debit of $29.95 to a "Credit BLD", and every month before until 10/22/04- this was their first debit of $169.00. I FREAKED! I called them to see what the company was... "We send you a prepaid visa card and report your info to the credit bureau." WHAT?!
I asked for the $378.65 (not counting overdraft fees)I've paid to them to be refunded. She tells me No but she can send another card. Per my request, I was transfered to a manager who just decided to hang up on me without even talking to me first. I've been on the web researching since.
