Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My money was taken just like all the others, being led to believe that thier card was a regular creit card to repair credit. Turns out they really only offer some cheap services no one ever uses, or that you probably already have included with insurance or AAA or something and if not ,you could buy at the dollar store.

They Charged my account for $79.95 for a fake card. They don't even have a major legal on them. They say that they are there to help build your credit put you have to shop on they account which don't have anything worth your money.

How do these scam artist get away with this criminal act ? I recieved a pre-approved app. in the mail today. It has no phone # only an address. ** P.O. Box 1275 Indiana, Pa. [protected] ** maybe this will help some of you to contact these crooks. I am taking the app. to the police ( a lot of good it will probably do).

I just apply about ten minutes ago and it said that i was approved it took all my information it got to my account number and said that i put in the wrong number and it won't let me go no further and i know it was the right account number. What can i do to save my social security number and my account?

I thought it would be a Visa card not a shopping website and when I got online I can buy all the thing they had. They had junk. Please let every one know about this. I will send the card back on 07-05-2008.

Ms. Dix,

I am a former employee of the company, and I can tell you that if your did not get a card it was because they did not have any information for you, if you call [protected] you will be able to speak to a customer service rep who can assist you

The advertisement for this card is misleading, and of banking account. They are stealing if they do. Where the hell is the outlet store? I turned it over to the police.

Please stop going in my acount without my permission, and trying to deduct money . Every time there is a returned check a $25 fee is taken from my account thanks to Horizon I have a negative balance of $150- . Refrain from going in my account or legal action will follow this complaint.

Thank you so much for the heads up...I went to the website, and they approved me without requesting any info. So I knew it had to be a scam. Because all they really wanted was my account info so they could scam me and take my money. Thanks so much! They need to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest for sure. I also noticed that there was no number or any form of contact, which also made me think they were fishy. Most credit card company's give you the first option of calling their customer service dept if you have any questions or concerns.

this was a misleading offer and when you want to cancle the service they hurry up and erase the info so you cant get the info off the website. all the things to buy onlin are cheap and small and has no value. the items look like these are items from the thrift store or a retail shop.

Everything said here is true! These people have been taking my money for 7 months promising to report my payments to the credit agencies and have still done nothing. I check all 3 of my credit reports every week and after seven months of promises I finally canceled the account. They are full of Sh T! I got scammed with the sales pitch like you did but subsequently decided to keep the account active because they said that they reported to all 3 credit agencies and I needed the good credit history. If you need any info or support from me you got it. . . . .

This card is misleading, its not a credit card like they want you to think.
Its a outlet card, the cost of shipping is high the items are cheap, but not the price.
what you pay to have it shipped will pay for the item.ITS ALL JUNK.YOU COULD BUY IT IN THE DOLLAR STORE.

I am really sorry for all of you that were scammed. I have now learned to check these type of things out before giving my info to anything or anyone that sounds to good to be true. Thank you to all that have complained about this company, you just saved me a lot of heart ache and anger.
