I was lied to
I have had a Giant Eagle Credit Card for years, with no issue. I called to change my address and the girl said to me, "you pay your balance off every month, you're a prime candidate for this service". It's this service to pay off your credit card if you are laid off or disabled. She said that it cost's 1.99 for every $100 of your outstanding balance, and you get a $25 credit for enrolling. I thought, why not? It's a free $25 credit. Well of course I get my next bill, and I'm charged $12 for their stupid service. I immediately called Account Assure and complained and the guy said that it is 1.99 per 100 of your average daily balance. Well, that is not what was portrayed, and I would have never signed up for that...Fine, there was a misunderstanding, I would like to cancel and would like a refund for that first month of service. Of course they can't refund the first month because the "trial period" has ended. What the hell is the trial period? I didn't get laid off in the last month, what exactly was I supposed to try? What a joke! It's my own fault for being gullible I guess, but I can't stand dishonest and misleading marketing, and that's exactly what this was

signed up for protection service w/o my permission
I signed up for a Avenue account and specifically told the salesgirl I did not want insurance on my card. I got my letter today stating that I was instated in their plan on the day I signed up for the credit card. I assume I am in for a fight from all the complaints all over the web. I am fortunate that I paid my bill immediately after shopping so I had no balance to be charged on. But I intend to call Account Assure and ask for an email confirmation that I am no longer enrolled in their program, then I'm calling the credit card people and cancelling my card and telling them why and then I'm contacting Avenue and tell them why I will no longer be shopping in their stores and then I'm going to find that nice young sales girl that filled out the credit card info and explain how I don't appreciate having to spend this time.
The only way to stop them is to cancel your cards at all the shops and tell them why. It isn't worth a hassle for a couple of dollars and they are counting on it. But when the stores lose your business and the credit card loses your business, they will get rid of this rip off. It is probably directly connected in some way to the credit card and a couple of dollars from all of us really adds up.
I also suggest you contact the attorney general of the state that Assure is located in and fill out the forms and request your refund and why. It's a lot of paperwork but just how mad are you? The Attorney General will fight this fight for you and for free. They will also straighten out the company from doing illegal practices.

Is there any legal recourse that can be taken against Account Assure?
I did not request this service as I am not in danger of not getting a pay check. I collect Social Security and 2 pension; therefore I have no need for this "protection"
I did not Enroll!
If you do decide to call the number on the sticker that comes on the front of the card in the mail, ask the following questions: 1. Who offers and administers the program? 2. Can I cancel at anytime? 3. What if I decide I no longer want protection from Account Assure? 4. Does this program contain any exclusions? 5. How does a protected cardholder request a benefit under Account Assure? PLEASE read enrollment material if you decide to get it. Personally it's not worth the hassle to wait up to 8 weeks to get a $20 or $25 gift card. Most stores have sales that are better.
When you receive your card in the mail it will have a sticker on it that says call to verify receipt of your card and to learn how to receive a $25 gift card. Just letting you know, your card is active the second it left the post office. You can go straight to the store, throw that sticker away and spend away. They want you to call so they can enroll you in Account Assure and send you a gift card. It's optional! You have 30 days from the day you enroll on the phone to call and cancel for a refund of any fee you may have been charged. The store clerk doesn't sign you up for it when you fill out the application for your card at the store. Two totally separate entities.
There is a lawsuit being paid because of deceptive practices with this service. you should be able to find out if your CC company is involved. https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2015/pr15073.html
I received a card in the mail saying I have an account with you, but I never signed up an account. When I call your phone number I could not get through without an account number. I do not have an account number. Please email me and tell me what is happening.

I have account assure on two credit card accounts. I lost my job and thought account assure would pay. Account assure is looking for all sourcesb I have to make payment such as: unemployment, retirement etc. When you sign up for account assure they tell you if you lose your job they will pay. This is absolutely not true they will not pay and have not pais. It is not worth having.
I have Account Assure, lost my job and had to retire. Account assure will not pay because I lost my job. They try to find out what other sources you have that can pay such as retirement, old age pension checks etc. Account Assure will not pay if you lose your job. Account assure is a rip off. I thought if I lost my job Account assure would pay without question.
I keep getting calls from this company and I have no idea why. I have a Victoria's Secret credit card and a Limited card. I've used the Limited card once for an online purchase and turned around and made an online payment to pay the balance within a week of making the purchase. I haven't used the Victoria's Secret card since August and even then it was under $20 and I paid it in full online. So why does this company keep calling? All I get is a recording to call regarding a personal matter. Why would they call me only to tell me to call them? Stupid! I've got better things to do than sit on the phone returning phone calls to people for no reason an no explanation.
rip off consumers without merit
I cannot stand bad customer service. This company has no tact and their supervisors lack service skills.
I have had my Victoria Secrets account for over 10 years. I have just cancelled. This Account Assure charged me $3.99 over a service I did not subscribe for nor requested to join.
When I received my bill, I called them to let them know I was not going to pay for something I had not subscribed to. Their answer was "you must have because that's the only way we would have charged you. I tried to tell them I had not done it but they wouldn't listen. I requested a credit and told them an investigation needed to be done. They told me "THEY WOULD CREDIT ONLY IF I DID NOT OPEN AN INVESTIGATION". I told them NO, I would want an investigation as they had charged my VS account w/out consent. Rude customer service comments were uncalled for.
I cancelled my VS account when I called them and they said "they will investigate and if they do not have the recording they will issue a credit". THAT WAS NOT MY POINT!
Yes, I did receive 2 months later a letter where they said "as a customer courtesy they would issue me a refund" BULL! This company had to issue me a credit because I HAD NOT ORDERED THEIR USELESS SERVICES!
When I asked for a supervisor, her comments were "I do not understand what else you want, they are issuing you credit". Idiots with a name tag is what I consider them and it is a shame that they can get away with this behavior. Useless spineless and I will let everyone know that they do not care, they simply feel that returning the fees THEY STOLE to begin with is enough. Not to me.
Do not waste your money on account assure. They will give you the run around when you file a claim.
This company is messing around with me they keep asking for more information I have sent them everything what do I need to do who do I need to contact to get back at this company
All I want to do is cancel the service! Right NOW!

Hi, I just learned that I was charged assurance fees on my Kingsize credit card since 2013 which I never authorized.
Hi, like I mentioned above I was charged unauthorized fees on my Kingsize credit card since 2013.
I was told when I signed up it would be a dollar or 2 a month. Why am I being charged that and another 40 every month? I was not told that.
hey Guys, Im just getting on here now. March 2019. I had my herbergers card since July 2016. It seems this scam didn't stop back in 2014 with the lawsuit. Who do we call or contact to get our money back or open a new lawsuit? I never agreed to Account Assure and its now put me over a thousand on this stupid card that I make my payments to. To my knowledge I didnt authorize it. Guessing I cant be the only one who this is still happening to?

I have account assurance and I filed a claim. I had a plastic surgery last month and I was hospitalized for 3 days will they cover this? or does the hospitalization have to be a medical condition?
Account assure denied my "claim" as my employment was termed at the end of contract. Apparently contracted employment is considered "temporary" and as such not a "covered" benefit. That's bull, even on the claim paperwork they list "end of employment contract" on section one. Never again will I associate with them.

They paid nothing on my bill for 3 mons I was out.
They don't pay anything while your out.
This is the worst service ever! The are full of LIES! Never use them ever! All they do is take your money never hold up there end of things. Never said the gift card they state that they will send. And they better cancel my service. They are a RIPE OFF! They are a SCAM. BEWARE!
The agent007 that works for assure and claims that they don't sign up people without their knowledge is FOS!.. I have never ever called or received a call from any of my credit cards! So to make the statement that "I/We" must have said yes to the introductory free service for 30 days is BS..I make all my payments and correspondence through email so that I can leave a "paper trail". So stop lying for this freaking company just because you work for them. Hopefully enough people will complain and they will be out of business soon because this practice must be stopped! Have a great day
I sign up for account assure and I suppose to get a 20.00 gift card. Well I've been waiting for 3 months for one of 9 cards I suppose to receive. I can't wait to long so I will cancel my account assure and rather just take my chances.
There are RARE cases where someone may be signed up when they say NO. This is due to the individual not the company and it happens in every single business that has sales. Now with that said, the wording for account assure is screwed. It says that your monthly statement balance must be zero which to most people means they need to pay off their statements in full...of course that's not true and rarely is elaborated by the employee. To those of you who think the service is bad, you're incorrect. It pays millions of dollars each year out to qualified accounts. Of course if you're a part of those that either didn't understand the service or were signed up without consent you'll act like the service is a scam...it's a basic emotional reaction. You've got something between your ears, best you start using it.
I was told I was lured by the 20 dollar gift card. Very rude manager who got on the phone. I un- enrolled still getting charged now they way they have no record of it because they don't keep records of calls before January? I never used a gift card.
Shame on VC. Yes VC
