Made us lose our home due to default for them not showing up at court!!

The company always called when it was time to receive their monthly payment, but never wanted to return calls, e-mails, etc regarding the case. We paid them over $4500 and they couldn't even show up to a hearing or call and tell us there was even a hearing!!!

So we lost our home due to default!! Didn't want to return any money or respond to us! I Filed a bar complaint and hope no one ever gives up money to them! they don't do much of anything but charge you hundreds for e-mails.

Then tried to blame to contracted attorney for everything when he quit working with them months before because he found out how wrong they did people, so they pushed the bar complaint over on to the "little Guy". He was the only one to return our calls when we had to reach out to him directly because Ameritrust would never call us back even the day before a prior court date.

Ameristrust Financial TBank

Have you or someone you know been hit by a company named Ameritrust Finacial? Help is finally here! Just got home, and found in the mail two check from Tbank, NA of Dallas TX. The $200 that Ameritrust took from me back in October of 2006 has ben paid back to me just now. No lie. I was taken aback, that someone actually gave me my money back, seeing it had been alsmot 4 years. TBank had to pay 60,000 consumers a total sum of $5.1 million, plus a $100k in fines to the Comptroller and US Treasury. Google it. I thought it was another *** but I was paid back. Luckily the old mailing address I had was forwarded to my new house, or I would never had got the checks. http://www.tbankrestitution.com// is the website on the check, I hope this helps some of you out.

Took $200 refuse to return

They promise credit card usuable to rent auto, good anywhere but usuable only thru their warehouse. Took $200 refused to return said I had to write for return not online. I did and still have not got my money back. I have called and called and get recording call did not go through. Have written and no answer. As they are operating across state lines the federal government should step in and cloasse them down. They are guilty of fraud, theft, misrepresentation and lack any ethics. They are bankrupt morally, lack any human compassion as well as idea of good curtomer service.

Ameritrust got me at a time I needed help.

I am not sure what I can do at this point other then say lesson learned. I have had more then my fear share of scam’s come across my computer. This one got me. I hope and pray these people are happy with them selves. I will never hand my bank information over again on the internet. I am going to my bank and file a complaint. I am out the $200.00 dollars at this point. (BUT) it will be the last time. I needed the money to buy a car to get better gas mileages. Now I just good and pissed at my self for being sucked in by these kinds of people. I think they get our information from government lists that are open to anyone with a computer these days. Myself I am on a income and just getting over a years fight with cancer disability income so I know any one can get that information. Has our country come to the point these kinds of people can do what ever they want with out accountability.

I am grateful for you all to! they called me on my cell phone* and I am like hello* the guy takes my information then tells me someone would give me a call back in 5 mins and it has been an hour.

I looked them up on the internet and saw all of these "Pissed People" I called back and said no thank you don't even worry about finding someone to call me back. He asked why and I told him about the "Pissed People" website.. lol and he said well you tell who ever calls you that..

LOL.. they do need to be stopped for good..

Guest

It`s funny you say this. Did you give this company a chance.

No you didn`t. Try for once to be a leader.

If you ever been to an attorney they charge on avg, 150-350 an hour. Can you afford this?

Ameritrust Financial: They took $100.00 out of my bank account

Ameritrust Financial called on the phone about a $2000.00 credit card they were offering. They assured me that it would be a valid VISA or MasterCard acceptable anywhere. After questioning the rep further it was an online only shopping card. I told them I was not interested and politely hung up. They tried twice to take money form my bank when there was no money there. The bank charged me $36.00 each time. The third time they were sucessful and took $100.00 out of my account. I have been unable to find a vaild number for them that is not the sales number. Please under no circumstances have anything to do with this "COMPANY".

I just received a phone call from that 408731**** number this evening. They asked me what was the bank that I deal with and if my account was in good standing.

I told them that I know my account is in good standing and I just simply told them the name of the bank. They asked me for my birthdate.

I did not give my social security number nor my bank info. Can they still tap in my account?

Guest

I got the same calls and after thinking about it I chose to use the three day option to cancel with my three day grace period. I maile a letter and they still took the money out of my account.

I called their numbers listed above and got no response. My bank account is now overdrawn by almost $200 and I have no idea what to do.

Guest

I just got a call from this "AmeriTrustFinancial" company and the guy said that I was approved by them for a $2,000 credit limit credit card. He asked: "Do you still reside at ******?" I told him, I don't disclose that information over the phone.

He said: "Sir, I just take some information and another rep.

will tell you about the card." I said, "then, send me the information by mail". He said, "I can't do that." I said, "OK, what do you want to know?" He asked: "what is your monthy gross income?" I said, "never mind!" and hung up on him.

Guest

:( After doing an online look at my bank statement, I saw a removal of $100, from my account, knowing that I have found myself with bad credit, I was thinking that this may help at the time the call came in. So I was Gotten, :upset , but I will say that this company is a Fraud and pray on the ones trying to turn their lives around....

Guest

wow!!!! I'm so glad..that I have internet access!

I decided to sleep on the offer they gave me, and something said go do researchon them. And I'm glad I did bastards! They didn't get nothing from me!

now I'm going to purposley call them back and talk ***. lol

Guest

Well, they have upped the anty. I was contacted today by the so called "AmeriTrust Financial" they offered me a $3000 dollar credit card that would help rebuild my credit.

They said that all they needed was to see if I had a checking account in good standings and that there would be a $300 dollar charge that would be paid back in 6 $50 dollar payment vouchers. They called from 408-731-**** and when they gave me an automated confirmation number they gave me a customer service number of 1-86*-***-****. Well once I called that number I recieved a voice mail from an individual not the company and actual man.

After they recording of the confirmation number the lady come back and gave me a different customer service number of 1-86*-***-****. When I called that number all I got was a message to call back.

Ameritrust Financial are Scam Artists

Ameritrust Financial is a rip off. They pry on people who are hurting and take their money. They are not even big enough to take your calls and try to make things right. They have no pride in their company or their work. I attempted to cancel the account and was told my money would not be refunded. Then it was explained that I would receive a credit card with $200.00 to spend. I would then be sent some vouchers and when I charged something on the card and received my bill, I could pay the account with the vouchers. I spoke with Janelle on 10/24/07 who stated that the bank rejected my money. However, I told her my bank showed that the money had cleared on 10/19/07. She said she would review the records and call me back. I then called again on 12/4/07 and spoke with Sara who reviewed the fle and asked that I fax her a copy of the statement showing the money had cleared and that the card would go out that week. I have yet to received anything in the mail. I have tried calling today 1/8/08 and cannot get anyone to answer the phone.

:sigh I can't believe I fell for this SCAM!!

I'm lucky that my bank was already overdrawn in the first place because they bumped the $200 check back to Ameritrust (unpayable) :grin

How is it, that these illegal acts of THEFT can go unpunnished?

Guest

I JJUST FOUND THIS SITE IM ON MY WAYB BTO THE BANK TO STOP THIS MESS YALL IUT IS A SCAM I CAN VERIFY EVER THING THEY TOLD YALL THEY TOLD ME DONT DO IT STLOUIS CUSTOMER THANK U

Guest

wow i forgot about these people and yesterday i get a letter saying i bounced a check i cancled my account so they would not take my money out the told me it would take three weeks to cancel my account and between that time they would try to take my money *** no i wasnt haveing that so instead of 200 they say i now owe 700 if you are trying to help me fix my credit and i tell you i dont want your service that should be enough :(

Guest

:( Ameritrust kept Calling me numerous times daily. It says "Five 9" on my caller ID.

Finally I said let me answer this call....They told me some mumbo jumbo about the company and my credit limit. Then when i asked what is the name of your company again? They hung up on me. I called back and asked for a toll free number, the phone was breaking up like they were on a cell phone.

He told me that it was 186********. I did not try to call them back, I was just glad that I did not give them any money.

I just want to tell everyone that this company is definitely a scam. Don't take any chances!!!!!!!!!!

Guest

How can people do this? :( ...I am another "***" :upset ///I need the money the offered mesooo bad..to pay 3 car payments...& I called to find out if they received my guarantee letter & the gal said yes...I should be getting my card within 4 bus days...that will be tomorrow 3/4/08...we will see...NOTHING WAS EVER SAID THAT THIS WAS A MERCHANT CATALOG CC?? :sigh ...THIS COMPANY IS F***KED UP

Guest

same here just today they called me i told them yes i wanted it but then when i started questioning them about the card i "got cut off" i spent the better part of my day trying to get a hold of them and finally decided to call my bank and have them stop payment, i would rather pay the $25 stop payment fee then lose $200...i kept getting cut off or told crystal would call me back, when i called customer service they were rude and hung up on me....

Guest

:( same thing happened to me. they called me i told the lady after listing to the message that i would not be interested.

she told me that i had 3 days after recieving the packet of information i could cancel. be for i had a chance she hung up . that was 2 weeks ago. since then i have tried to contact someone at customer service and no luck.

today i finally got through to someone who stated that i would have to pay 35 dollars for early cancellation.. i told he how would it be early cancellation if i have not recieved anything.. i told her i wanted to speak to a manager she out me on hold for about 30 mins. then i got disconnected..

when trying to call back i kept getting a message that they could not verify my entry and to please try again.finally i called from another phone and guess what they answered.. i put in the ext # that i had from the origional salesperson and got through to another sales rep. i told her i was on this web site and that she needed to cancel my member ship, she told me i would be charged 35 dollars i told her fine just to make sure i dont have any other charges to my bank acct. so hopefully this will end it all....

so i still feel like i got ripped off 35 dollars but i guess thats better than 200$ .. next time i will be more picky when someone tries to tell me they can help solve my credit problems.. haha if that were really possiable i think i could do it myself..good luck to all of you on your quest to get back you money...people like this are what give good people a bad name..

so screw ameritrust.. because you cant TRUST them only a scam to rip you off..

They told me I would pay a one time fee of two hundred dollars that I would eventually get back and I havn't received my information about my account or my card, and I can't get my money back they stole 200$ out of my bank account. THIS IS BULL ***! Something needs to be done.

Ignored by Ameritrust

I received a call early morning December 7, 2007 from Ameritrust Finanacial offering me a credit card. I immediately told their representitive that I didn't want any card that I had to buy things. I said the only card that I would consider is a card that I can use to buy my medicine. She told me that after I pay the first payment on time I have access to cash advances up to $1,000. at a time. She told me about 4 $50. vouchers to use towards the monthly payments or as I want to. I asked her many times about the card and if I could use it at any pharmacy, walmarts wherever I could buy my medicine. As she had said many times back to me that I could use it for anything AFTER the first payment I make was on time. I have called this company so many times and spoke to 4 different people at different times. All I get is a customer service rep. telling me that there is not one supervisor or manager available to talk to me. Each one of these reps. have all given me a different answer. First they don't do refunds, second they will research it because of my being told lies, third, I have been approved for a refund, and last , the refund check has been sent out. When I ask when it was sent all I can get from anyone there is "a few days ago". This company lied to me about the card and its usage and about getting my money refunded. I tried calling at all different times to talk to someone higher than the reps. and my calls were either not answered at all or answered and put on hold until I was given voice mail to leave a message. Not one phone call back to me. I have been completely ignored.The only way to get them to answer the phone is to block my phone number. A rep. there called me by name when she answered the phone. I asked her how she knew it was me and she said my phone number comes up. I can't get my money back but they sure took the money out of my checking account fast. This company needs to be stopped. When I realized that the card was not as I was told I contacted them immediately. It has been over a month and all I get is the run-around. What can we do to stop this company? I have written in a complaint to the Better Business Bureau for their help. Any other ideas? O

Ameritrust calls at least 3x's a day

I keep getting calls from Ameritrust Financial at my home and cell. I am not really sure how they even got my numbers. They call at least 3 times a day and leave messages. They called me at my house the other day and said I was approved for a credit card and when I questioned what kind of card it was and I said I didn't know what they were talking about they hung up on me. Obviously this is a scam. Do not give them your acct. information. This is a scam. Stay away from them. BEWARE!

I agree - I placed \"two recent orders for some pricey shoes , and I did not get one order filled and delivered !!! Both times the Reps were helpful and courteous and I confirmed my orders at least twice after they billed me on my charge cards , but both times , I called back to confirm again the status of my orders and was told that the shoes I had ordered were out of stock!

Now I am Hoping that I will get my money credited back to my account! These people are truly "SCAM" artists ! They take your money and then tell u only after you have contacted them that your order has not been processed.

Worst business experience that I have EVER had! Please deal only with reputable on-line businesses or spend the extra money at local stores and save yourself a world of inconvenience !

Ameritrust Financial=S.O.B., Liars

Well like most all of the other people who can't afford to get scammed we did too. We have some $ problems so my girlfriend gets a call from Ameritrust for a credit card, and we think GREAT!!! A $2000 card to help with x-mas and everything else, boy were we wrong. They want to "verify" we had an active checking account. After it "checked out" they said she'd be getting this card soon, within 30 days. The next day or two we had someone try to get $100 from our checking and guess who....Those ameri"don't"trust people. When we called they said she was on tape agreeing to terms which never existed. The supervisor, which he claimed to be, gave me the run around and then finally hung up on me. Now we have to get a new account and change everything so they don't try to get money again. I want to know HOW CAN THIS KEEP HAPPENING!!!!! Is it that easy to start a company in the U.S. that scams people out of their hard earned money. After all these complaints how are they still operating. If anyone reading this knows what we can do to stop this company? Please let me and all the other pissed off people know. So pass it on to all your friends and family, do not trust Ameritrust Financial!!!!!!

Now my account has been debited $200. I did find a number for them 866-529-****, but unable to reach.
