Vantage Funding

I made several complaints about vantage funding about 2 years ago, well I just received my refund from the FTC. Vantage funding had taken money out of my checking account several times and once after I closed my account. I just wanted to say everyone should make a complaint to the FTC, their Attorney General and anyone else who will listen. I just received my refund from the FTC and cashed it. We just need to have patience while the FTC do their investigation and successfully prosecute the offenders. Big ups to the FTC

Vantage Funding

This company hit my bank account for $30.00 and caused it to go into the negative. When I called them they said we had received an advance from them and that was the fee. I told them I did not get an advance from that company. She then tried to get me to go to the website www.vantagefundingapp.com/login. That website turns red and gives you a warning not to enter this site it's a fake site pretending to be vantage funding. She kept telling me that I must be typing it in wrong. But I had to go there to get my funds sent to my bank. I told her I didn't want the funds and I wanted to speak with a supervisor. She tried to avoid it but I remained adamant that I wanted to speak to one. She placed me on hold for 20 minutes and never came back. I called the number back again and it was busy. It took 3 more tries and then someone answered and I told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor. She was nicer and kept coming back on the line saying that her supervisor was still assisting another customer. The phone number on my check was 888-235-****. On the check they cashed it was a really odd high number 9189. Luckily I reported it to my bank and closed that account and they are conducting an fraud investigation.

They just got me today 12/19/12 for $30. I don't know how they got my information but I have called them four times and three times they hung up on me.

They told me the only way I can get my money back is to go to the website and finish the loan paperwork.

How do you charge someone $30 for a loan they didn't apply for? I made a claim with the BBB and I'm posting about this company any and everywhere!

Please everyone i contacted the local fbi go on to this site www.IC3.gov n file a complaint they need big numbers to do somethong. Please we all were scammed

Guest

Never heard of this company. Checked my bank account balance like I do every Friday and see a check written to them for $30.00.

Check #99196. I don't write checks on this account, so if it were a legit check it would start with a 1. This lady now has me on hold after I asked to speak with a supervisor.

I am reporting this to the police, BBB, my bank and the attorney general. How dare these people get away with this!!!

Guest

Same issue they took $30 out of my bank on 10-17-12 and had high ck #. Also, they had the city on check wrong and zip code, so my bank said they know it is fraud.

I did go to my bank and filled out draft fraud. They said it will take a few days to investigate, but they would try and give me a refund in 1-2 business days. When I called the 866-740-**** # she offered me a gas card of $100. I said I don't want a phony gas card.

I said just refund my money and I want to talk to your supervisor. I held for 10 min and he said they would try and see what they could do, but it would take 5-7 days to get refund? I doubt I will get that! I got mad and hung up and said this company is a scam.

If it happens again the bank sugguest I close my account.

These people are *** artist!!! :(

Guest

They hit my account for $30. I'm reporting them to the BBB in Las Vegas.

In the meantime, I'm doing everything else I can to get my money back. If anyone has gotten money

back let me know.

you not going to have to go to your bank let them know they should

Guest

:( I had the exact same problem with these people,and now looking at any possible way to attack, and have the law abiding officials do the necessary work for justice. A person's hard earned money should not be taken like that without cause, its not fair!!!

Guest

:? UPDATE:..... My bank called me back. They are going to have me sign an "UNAUTHORIZED DEBIT" form. This will return me my $30. Unfortunately it is up to the branch mgr. If they waive my OD fee. I hope they will idk. They also suggest that I close this acct. and Re-open a new one. Also be aware of a MY MONEY LEAF... they debit my account on the 10 of Sept. Same situation here but a $29.95 was debited. That was returned. I don't know if these two people are connected but I'm definitely opening a new account and closing the old one. I would suggest this to anyone.

So I don't know whether to Happy Sad or Pissed.... I guess all three!... I'm also filing a complaint with the BBB and the FCC. The FCC files lawsuits against the Scamers. and in hopes to help warn us about online purchases. Or who we give our Acct. info out to. Best of luck to you guys! God Bless

:( This company Just hit my Bank acct. on Sept 11.

I called them and I threatened them with a lawsuit by my attorney general's office. The woman did not care as to what I had to say and told me to go to the website you have wrote. They charged me $30 and it as well caused my acct. to Negative, and I was charged with an Overdraft fee.

I told them, that if they would not return my $30, Then I was filing a lawsuit for the $30 they took, $37, Overdraft fee, Plus attorney fees, and my fees from having to take time off work to handle this matter. She still kept insisting me to accept these funds, and for my trouble a gas voucher. So finally hung up. Called my Bank.

They are looking into the matter, and I plan on pursuing a lawsuit if possible. However if it is a scam chances are I'm just out of $67.

2 $30.00 unauthorized checks from my checking account

Two $30.00 checks were posted against my account by Vantage Funding. These were checks that did not require my signature. Overdraft fees resulted and were taken from my account. One check was dated 12/31/2012, the other October 2012. Vantage Funding does not respond to my emails. and when calling Vantage a recording comes on stating to email them. Vantage Funding needs a class action suite filed against them so people can be compensated and the *** can go to prison. I received nothing from them, no loan, no service. Shame on these low-life people. Who wants to join a class action lawsuit?

Vantage Funding

I went on my bank account today (11/14/2012) and seen that a $30 withdrawl was taken from me from this Vantage Company. I immediatly called my bank and got the number for them to see if they would give me my money back first. If not to call them back and they would get the necissary paperwork ready for me to file a complaint. The first woman eventually got mad at me for not wanting a loan, and hung up on me!!!! Needless to say this got my fire burning! I called right back, and talked to another girl, and when she got upset with me for not wanting a loan, I demanded to speak to a supervisor and that I was gonna sue for them takin the money and for any fees that would come from this theft. After being on hold about 5 min she came back on and gave me a confermation code for my refund!!! If it is not in my bank in the next few days, I will have appropriate action taken against this fraud and theft!!! I just dont understand how they got my information in the first place!!!!!!!!

This company hopefully is out of its criminal business. I went to my bank...

filed a fraud claim ...closed out the account...got my money back from the bank and learned to never apply with these quick fly by night scammers.

If you need a loan go to your local bank ..credit union or apply with lending club. Good luck

Guest

I have been waiting almost 5 months for my refund. The $30 was taken from my account unauthorized.

They keep telling me wait 3 to 5 days they promise it will be in my checking account.

Every 3 to 5 days i call again and its the same thing all over again. My matter will be expedited to the billing department and money will be returned of course that doesnt happen.

VANTAGE FUNDING

Upon checking my checking account on 11-19-12, I noticed a check, number out of sequence from my personal checkbook, posted for $30.00. I have not written or authorized any checks for this amount. I looked at the copy of the check and it was for this Vantage Funding for $30.00 I have made several attempts to contact someone from this company only to be told to leave name and number and someone would get back to me as soon as possible. I have never had contact with this so-called funding company, nor given them persmissions to draw from my checking account. I have notified the bank, but funds have already cleared. SOOOOO....I don't know what to do. SORRY INDIVIDUALS taking money from hard working folks....Karma will come back around ONE DAY

Hung up on cause I wouldnt take a loan

Provide as much information as possible, you will not be able to edit your review but you will be allowed to add on to it if you create an account during the submission process.I checked my ank and noticed that two thirty dollar checks had been debited from my account. I called the number on the bottom of the checks and was told that those were applications fees. When I toldd them I didnt apply for anything and wanted my money back they said that they woukd give me a 100 credit toward a loan. I told them I didnt want a loan and wanted my money back. They kept telling me no. I asked to speak with a supervisor and they would not let me. she finally said that she has other customers to help that want to use their services and hung up on me. Sounds like I need to contact the Better Business Bureau.

Vantage Funding. Money taken from account without authorization.

Took money from checking account without authorization; supposedly for loan set-up fee. No authorization for loan. Have been on the phone with them since 6/28 trying to get the money back in account. Everyone has a different time frame; first 24-48 hours, then 15 days, then 3-5 more days. We are looking at close to a month now. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE; they are not honest business people. I believe fraudulent activity took place. I am considering filing a complaint with the AG of my state. Wish me luck and my money back also.

Vantage Funding

Vantage withdrew $30 from my checking account and it was not authorized, filed a complaint with the banking institution because couldn't reach Vantage Funding by phone. Do not go to the website for it runs scans that aren't good for your computer and turns the screen red. This company is ripping off consurmers and how they get your information is not legal if they are searching other reputable sites. I am pissed because now I am negative in my banking funds. How many more people have to get hurt by this company before something is done? Very upset over this as is so many other people.

Payday loans - VANTAGE FUNDING

JUST TO BE SURE TO READ EVERY LOAN COMPANIES TERMS AND CONDITIONS; They make it look as if you just are trying to get a payday loan and then THEY WITHDRAWL FEES FROM YOUR ACCT. If you read, it should indicate that it is free and that they marketing company gets paid from the Loan companies. Its very bad, when you are broke and companies just take it upon themselves to withdrawl funds from your account, when they no in fact if you are looking for these high priced payday loans, then "you must be in very bad need". 15 days later, I am still waiting on a refund. SO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

Vantage Funding

Really Really Bad, This company caused waste of time and money, they stole 30 dollars from my bank account. I have been trying for about a month to get it back. I had to place a fraud hold on my account and file a police report. BEWARE of fast cash payday loans online, DO NOT give your personal banking information because this is what WILL happen. I called this company and was told I would receive a refund BACK into my account, but so far this has not happened. The bank reassured me that they would try to help,waiting!.

Vantage

Well my account shows that Vantage withdrew 30 dollars from my account and when I called them they hung up on me twice I kept saying I didn't want anything they had to offer and said they were not returning the money that they took. Said I had to go ahead and apply for a loan to get my money back. Heading to the bank to change my account numbers and dispute the charges. They got the right one this time guys. I will get my money back and then some. This is a true scam! Please Please BEWARE!

Took unauthorized funds out of my checking account

Did not authorize a withdrawal of $30 from my checking account. Have no idea how they got my banking information. Called several times and after 3 minutes you are disconnected. No way to get a hold of them that I can tell. Talked to my bank and no further withdrawals will be made going forward and am just thankful I don't have to open a new account. What a bunch of weazels! They had better hope I NEVER find them! I did file a complaint with the Iowa Attorney General and am not the first. Perhaps they will have better luck contacting these crooks than I have had on my own.

Vantage funding-the thief

I checked my joint bank account on 8/15/12 to find that Vantage Funding took $30 from my account by electronic check using my husbands name. We don't even know this company. We called them from bank and foriegn woman would not tell bank or my husband what charge was for. She only said since this happened they could offer a $1500 loan and a gas card for the trouble. My husband told her no loan. I was able to get address from them as 2780 South Jones Blvd # 3675 Las Vegas, Nevada 89146. I am turning address over to police for fraud
