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

On may 9, 2007 a charge of $49.95was taken from checking account with no notice to me. I NEVER authorized any such debit to be taken and never signed up with this company for any kind of membership. Somehow they dipped into information I shared with a pay day loan company because they had an advertisement attached to the loan company I was applying too and that was their in to retrieve funds from my account. They are fraudulently taking money from unsuspecting people like myself and it is wrong and they need to be stopped. The number they are given to call is also a fraud. I got busy signal for the first hour and then it rang straight for the next hour and then I finally got a "recording" to please wait for the next available operator and was on the line for another 45 minutes before I hung up. It is all a scam and this company needs to pay for this!

Somehow these people got hold of my financial information and debited a check for 49.95 to my account and has withdrawn it. If someone has any ideas please help there is no phone number to get a hold of them. I don't want anything they are trying to offer.

So how these folks got my routing and checking account number and electronically submitted a check through my account is beyond me. This has fraud all on it! I am requesting a refund at this very moment. I am demanding to know how this happen and nothing happens to them on the legal side of it.

While I was applying for something totally different their screen came up in the middle of the application and I could not move forward without hitting "submit" in doing so they accessed my bank info and signed me up for a prepaid debit card and took $49.95 from my bank account causing an overdraft and an additional $35 fee! I contacted them by phone and was given instructions to obtain a form for a refund online, but these were bogus as well. They have emailed me but have "unknown sender" as their address. What do I do now?

Evercard did the same thing to me! Does the federal trades commission know about this? They are very rude when you ask why they stole your money by trick. They overdrew my bank account and now i have to pay 32.00 for nsf.

Somebody do something quick!

Very shady company. Thanks for posting this number, Jerry actually took the time to cut me a check, and next day air it to me. He even called back with a tracking number for me to use to follow the shipment. Hopefully it will be legit.

They collect your bank info from online loan applications, and other similar sites, then form a pop up application with that information, that shows on your computer on a separate page. If you close the window without choosing to NOT apply, you are automatically enrolled, and your bank account is charged. They clear it with a paper check that they create with your bank info, and clear it through a 3rd party bank.

I recommend anyone that has trouble with this company call him immediately and get resolution, you are wasting your time pursuing the online options for reimbursement.

I had the same thing happen to me. The company tired to debit my account. I had a problem and had just lcearded my account and this caused $60.00 in overdraft fees. I went straight to the bank and explained that I had not authorized this and we changes bank account numbers. I was told however that anything would roll over for thirty days. I came home and began calling the number which like most of you was busy. I however got through to the number which was not toll free after several hours and was told they are not affiliated with ever private card. I was told to go to live feed and ask for a link to refund form or page and they would be required to respond. I did that and because my item had not paid I got no response. This morning I phoned my bank and believe it or not this company has debited my account again and after I changed my account # my bank paid this debit. I filed an affidavit charging them with fraud and demanding an immediate refund of all charges. I have had to change my phone number. This has to be illegal. This time I went to the link and demanded a refund and have already gotten a response. We will see if I actually get it.

Same thing happened to me, this is totally an unfair practice, and the bank will not refund money because of a compromise of your account number. So until further investigations i am without my 49.95, had to close my account and take a an afternoon off of work to take care of the issues. Still yet no refund of my money even though i have done all that i possibly can at this time. I learned my lesson - Not to use the internet in regards to my personal information.

This company without my permission and knowledge withdrew $49.95 from my wife's checking account in my name on May 25th. This could result in the bank bring fraud charges against them and me. My wife is very upset and this is not setting well with me because we are a family living on a very tight budget and this may has caused an NSF charge which were not in our budget.

Hopefully someone will get these people before they scam anyone else.

Good luck.

I totally agree that this company is ignorant for taking advantage of innocent people. I too am a single mother of two children. I work full-time and make barely above minimum wage. I cannot afford to pay for the $49.95 charge to my account let alone the $64.00 in NFS fees. Somebody definitely needs to do something about this.

I was an EverPrivateCard rip off victim. But I got all of my money back including the NFS fees. The whole $113.95! First, I called Jerry Klein and demanded the return of my money. I got an e-mail saying they would refund the $49.95. Then I e-mailed him back at and told him that I had already contacted the Federal Trade Commission, the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General. I told him that I wanted the $49.95 $64.00 in NFS fees. I got my check today. I took it to my bank, deposited it, and they are going to hold it for five days to make sure it clears. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

The same thing was done to me. I don't understand how this company can continue to this. I am single mother and every penny in my bank account is accounted for something. I can't afford for anything to be taken out of my account and then have to wait for a refund. What happens if because this money was taken out i was charged an overdraft fee? Will i be refunded for that as well. This is not right this is fraud and this company should be held responsible.

Ok so i guess i am not alone. I was applying for a pay day loan and somehow got screwed into applying for this card. I tried to stop payment on this but alas, it was too late. The phone number is bogus and the website is about as help as algebra to a 3 year old. This needs to end and if anyone can remember what payday loan site we were going through I'll bet you they have a ton to do with it.

Everprivate Card makes an effort to work with its marketing partners to insure the advertisement includes full disclosure. Yes there are complaints posted on this site, but it’s a fraction of the total membership and the complaint % is far below typical online statistics. So why are the complaints here ? Because some consumers have simply failed to read what they signed. They applied for a loan or credit card and simply checked without reading. We can provide the full details of the authorization including the IP address of the PC used in the transaction.

The probability is that you applied for a cash advance loan or credit card and the EverprivateCard advertisement appeared with a Yes / No option. In order for EverPrivate Card to be sent your checking account information, that Yes block had to be checked. That is where the authorization originated.

If you didn’t intentionally check the Yes block and you don’t want the EverPrivate Card, then you will get a refund, assuming the charge did clear your bank. If you think we made a mistake and you didn’t respond to our offer, we will show you our records.

Please allow us to go through that process before you make slanderous and damaging statements about the company. Our attorney advises us that these actions would be cause for us to seek relief for financial damages.

The best and FASTEST way to request a refund is to simply SEND AN EMAIL to contact@everprivatecard.com , again that is an EMAIL, NOT a Web site address. Provide your name and mailing address. Emails to that address are processed within 24 hours and result in an email back confirming the refund and showing the original transaction.

Follow these instructions and YOU WILL GET A RESPONSE, calling the telephone numbers posted on this site is a waste of your time and will not result in getting your inquiry processed, they are not the correct company contacts. Give us the opportunity to help you before you risk exposing yourself to damages.

I also was taken advantage of by this company. I did a cash advance and not to my knowledge they took $54.95 out of my account. I had to close this account out because this created an overdraft and I did not know how many other companies they had shared my account information with. These people need to be closed down for good.

This company has to be stopped. They took out 49.95 out of my checking account that i did not authorize.i did not know they did this and now my bank has charged me $82.00 for nsf because i did not find out for five days later. They need to leave the hard working people of this great nation alone. And find themselves a honest job and stop stealing from hard working people.

This company is bogus! They took 49.95 from checking account i did not authorize these services. If I'm applying for something else they should have them getting my checking information and charging my account without a signature. I'm going to file fraud charges with my bank. It is a shame that a company does have anyone you can talk too. This says it all they know what they are doing is not right so they don't want you to be able to talk to anyone live I'm a single mother of 3 i can not afford this.

This just happened to me again 6/29/07 for the second time... didn't even know until I received my monthly statement from bank, wondered why my account was over drafted... To all who doesn't know this, at your bank (at mine) there's called a reversal charge, where they charge that company back the amount they charged your checking account and any insufficient funds this caused your bank will return... This is the only way to get money back, I tried with the company to no success!

I told you people that if I did not receive a refund within the allotted time frame, I would be conferring with an attorney. I already have an appointment to see one, as I do not believe you! There are too many people out there who are experiencing the same issue and NEVER got their money back. I will also will be contacting the Ohio Attorney General's Office, as this is outright fraud. Do yourselves a favor and give me my money back as you promised. Do you really think that someone is going to believe you over the many complainers of fraud that you have done?

I think we should be doing more folks than just getting our money back. EVERYONE should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau(u can file online) and the State Attorney Generals Office. I know there are thousands of people being scammed by this company! Think how many poor people apply for a payday loan (because they are broke) don't see this hidden link PRE-CHECKED YES for this EverPrivateCard at the bottom of the page and then end up no loan and huge overdraft fees from the banks. I would like to know who is behind this websites-THE BANKING INDUSTRY.

I also was taken for $49.95 by this scam artist of a so called company. My first reaction was maybe I just didn't read the fine print. So I chalked it up to my stupidity and decided I might as well find out what my 50 bucks bought me. NOTHING. I could not find one positive testimonial on ever private card because they don't give you anything for your money. The statement that people did't read the fine print maybe correct but what then did I purchase the horrible privilege of having to rearrange all my finances and closing my accounts? I think I could have done that without paying anyone. What a scam. Shame that people are out there preying on others in this manner.

I just found out that I had $54.95 deducted from my checking account unauthorized. I contacted my bank and they are going after everprivatecardservices for check fraud. In speaking with the securities dept at my bank, this company does this all the time and my bank was well aware of it. How can this place get away with this?

I know someone was looking for the #for this epcard on my copy check from my bank it lists as [protected] cause they stole 49.95 out my checking account too. Never tried to call but i will hopefully there will be a live person on here but don't count on it cause fraudulent people usually have their # covered somehow.
