Vanessa of Crescent City CA (01/02/08) I received an unsolicited 'credit' card from First National/CCA stating that I had a 6500 spending limit. I thought that this was strange due to my credit rating and decided to read the information in the paperwork. I found out that the card was only good when used for products from their catalog. I thought that this was very strange so I went online to see what was in their catalog. I did not find a web site belonging to this company.
What I did find was this web site with a lot of other people with stories exactly like mine. I am very glad that I didn't activate the card! I am very upset that I was sent this scam, and I want to know how they knew that I had bad credit as I do not give out my Social Security Number! I do know now, from reading other peoples' stories, that I can expect to get many more of these!

Angelina of Port Byron NY (01/01/08) I could never get a live person when dealing with this company. I am trying to make sure that I am not billed anything. They asked me if I had a checking account, and I told them not. Yet they put me through another department (which was also automation) in order to complete the activation process. I applied for a Visa, and I thought that this was the Visa I applied for. I really do not want to go through anymore drama.
I already had identity theft, and have been scammed by survey companies which promised to pay, and never did. I worked twelve hours out of each one, and I have yet to be paid by any. You can help me with that, also. Thank you. I am unable to get my car on the road. I am unable to pay my telephone bills to have phone service again.

Wayne of Greeley CO (12/31/07) I got a pre-approved card from CCS, and from what I have been reading I am glad my mailman was running very late, and it was on New Year's Eve because the activation number said I needed to call back during business hours. I have no idea how they got my info, and I haven't had an active bank account for several months. I did have my name put on my brother's account recently.
I am going to go to the bank on Jan. 2 and make sure this company cannot charge the account. It looks like I am safe just as long as I haven't called them to activate it nor have I given them bank information. I am really glad I did a Google on this company and found this site.
Dee of Moulton, TX December 31, 2007
Dee of Moulton TX (12/31/07) My daughter has 4 children and 2 of the oldest kids received these supposed credit cards. These kids are 14 & 11!
My first thought was that the kids are doing things on the computer that they shouldn't do but after reading on line I can breath a little easier. BUT, it alarms me that our children's names are on phishers lists. We've even had a phone call from CCS saying that the 14 year old had a delinquent account.
I tried calling but couldn't reach anyone.
