Ed Takes Advanta Down!


Advanta sent me a notice today they are closing all business accounts effective May 30th.

They say the independant trust which funds them is stopping their funding.

Of course, we know the real reason.

Re: Ed Takes Advanta Down!


Wow!! So they just this past month raised the interest rates (again) on a bunch of people and now are conveniently closing down on high??

I'm sure glad I dropped them a while back.

Don't worry all, - - your CONGRESS will protect you!!

I posted the text of the email message from Advanta on this thread in the Gen. Discussion section. http://www.contractortalk.com/f11/ad...-i-know-59279/


Read it and weep!

If they had only listened, not only to my voice, but the thousands of others out there that Advanta Credit Card Screwed with their fraudulent and scamming practices.

Currently, due to another tactic being done by other credit card companies, I have sought a private conversation with the Illinois Attorney Generals staff, which I have been able to schedule due to a letter of reference from someone who used to work for the Speaker Of The House.

My intent, with the hopefull recognition and understanding from the Attorney General, who also happens to have her sights on the next Gubernatorial Election, is to seek advice and make substantiated charges against a certain credit card company, for violations of the RICO Act.

Re: Ed Takes Advanta Down!


This is a similar case from Ohio, which I intend on pursuing with additional angles of deception involved.
