ICS Financial Group

These guys have been found to practice illegal advance fee loans and have been subjected to santion by regulators. they are not related to the ICS payday loan people

Advance fee loans are not good. Federal Trade Commission has published some helpful info about advance fee loan, have a look:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/

I recived a short form app. With an account # and a short letter,saying i meet the requirements for a personal loan of $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 ,or a debt consolidation up to $35,000.00 .
I filled it out and faxed it to them,then i recived a three page general contract agreement,which did not say anything about how the payback or anything about the interest rate,it said to read and sign and send back to address 11700 se 149th st,oklahoma city,ok.73165 [1-405-616-1111] from ,steven anthony[mgr] e-mail [ oklahomaics(at)aol.com ] he asked for $75.00 fee in advance of loan,[processing fee] another # he called from was 405-793-2499
I called phone information for a listing for ics at the address listed on the envolope that was mailed to me. There was no such listing ,however there was a listing for [ics roofing co.]
you tell me ,what do you think? "this is a fraud"

Contact the Attorney General in your state and the Attorney General in Oklahoma and give them the deatils of what has happended, and file a complaint with the FTC. This is an advance fee loan scam. They are becoming very popular in todays world.

This is just more predatory lending and it will set you in a worse position than you are probably in now. Taking out personal loans in order to obliterate current debt is not always the best solution.

On May 5, 2006, I recvd this (3) pages from
ICS in reference to my loan request, asking for $75
the guy name is Steven Anthony and he told me that his company deals with (1) bank called Universal that pretty much help people that are high risk. I haven't sent any money and not going to but I am so glad that there are websites to check in this kinda of stuff. I'm going to report this to badbusiness.com . Thnaks for this website

I was just checking on your email to let you know that I will be sending in the $75.00 dollars for the loan. Thank you Nancy Sallee account #6A783931.

Nancy, this isn't ICS, and DONT sned them any money . You WILL regret it later.

I Too recieved the same 3 page contract from ics as those listed below. I quickly typed in the name of the company and the link brought me here. I'm so glad I did. because I would have sent them 75 dollars. However I did file a complaint with the FTC and I suggest anyone who has been contacted by this company do the same as well.

I just received the same offer in the mail today. I think they are just targeting individuals that are clearly in need of money. As tempting as this is, rip it up and throw it away. Trust me, I could use a loan right now but I know that this ICS will cause further financial debt in the worse way. Anyone who gets it, just rip it up.

i just receive a 3 page loan from ics and the guy that i called was name steven anthony.i didn't send him any money bjt i will report him thank you

I have also received a application from these guys. Has anyone sent in the $75?

I also received a letter from ics about a personal loan from 2-5,000 and debt consolidation up to 35,000

I was not trying to reach this sight but I am so glad I did. I got the letter from ICS today and decided to check the company out online before I sent my application in, and came up with this sight. THANK YOU, for allowing me not to waste my time or the money for postage.

You're very welcome!

Great service ics financial group

They did a great job for me

I had a very bad experience with them. I would advise NOT to use them or any other payday loan lender.

Same thing...got letter.nothing mentioned about fee,but am not filling it out or calling.checked it out online w/bbb.they say they're a member,bbb says they're not,so lie # 1!!!

Thanks for this site.

I got a letter in the mailon 26 of june and i decided to come online to check them out but i will not be sending any money or document i have family in ftc and i will be having them invesigated further but for sure they are a scam. Please no one send your money

i received the same letter the info. just wasn't clear to me. i wanted to check this out and went online to do so. The e-mail address in the letter couldn't be found. I'm glad this site did thank you very much. I will NOT be sending them ANYTHING!!!!!

I recieved a letter from ICS and like most I went to check it out on the web and found this page.. Thanks

Im one of the people who sent in the 75.00 fee. This steven anthony guy is no good.Ive been trying to recover my monies for 60 days.Of course now all i get is his answering machine.What other avenues should I take to either recover my monies or jail this guy! My uncle works for the F.B.I. in Oklahoma.Maybe I should give him a call or contact my Attorney General. I would love to see this guy get caught before he does it again and again.........

I was just wondering nobody made that fee yet cause I am so curious and I need a extention.call #6m dont know the rest

i have sent my money allready to and i have not received nothing yet whats really going on

So if this is a scam dose anybody no a truly tustworthy company that will help people get back on their feet. I am about to lose my house!!!!!

Are you looking for some other loan company if not ICS? You can visit your local financial institutions or your bank and see what they have to offer you. You need to have a good credit score to bag the best deals. And credit scores improve if you have all the accounts paid off in your file. So, if you are looking to pay off the past debts and are having problems in managing the finance, talk to a debt counselor. He can offer you some payment options and negotiate with the companies.

I also received a letter & mailed it back(without money). My wife looked them up and got this web site.Now they have our s.s.#Who should I call?And how do I get in touch with FTC.I should have looked them up sooner.

Read this page and get in touch with ICS to know about your account status. It is illegal to withdraw money from your checking account without your authorization and if the loan account has been paid in full.

If you want to file your complaints against this company, get in touch with the local AG's office as well as the FTC. They are required to investigate the company after receiving so many complaints from the consumers.

I received the same letter yesterday.No phone #s or e-mail address. Glad I found this site before I sent them any money. I cant stand people like this. It sounded like a rip off from the beginning. BEWARE of letters with no phone numbers or e-mail for contact. It sounded fishy from the start.

I also received the personal loan for 2-5,000. Thanks so much! I was really considering doing this till I reached this website! :lol:

Hello I received a letter from ICS as well and they called me on 7-20-06 and told my friend that I was approved for a loan and my contract was in the mail. I also went on line to get additional information about this company and clicked on this web site. Thanks guys for your input I am very glad I did decide to research the company.

I also received the same letter, did anyone ever get the actual loan that they were promised?, I didn't send any money but he still has my social security number, what should I do now?

has anyone sent in money to these guys. And has anyone actually recieved a check. What is going on in the world today. Is anyone legal.

I had not looked up the company till after I sent in the application. A man named Steven did call me, two days later that he received my application. He said that I would get the contract in several days. That I wouldn't have to send any money until I read it and understood everything. Plus if I had any questions to call him. I still haven't received that contract, but now I'm very doubtful about the whole thing. Has anyone actually received this loan and what are the interest rates that you are paying?

Faithfulheart,
Never never never pay money to get money. This is a scam. A real loan company will not charge you a dime up front.

I too have received a contract,excited and ready to send the money to ics, however too much negative things appear on this website

Thanks

I to received the letter from ics, and was skepitcal so i decided to check them out for myself. When something seems to be to good to be true, it always is! Thanks for alerting me to this scam. I hope that those who had enough sense to come forth with this information will certainly be blessed.

I also had dealings with ICS Financial same MO as everyone else And the gentlemans name was Steven A (MGR). Also there is another company called Key Financial out of Houston Texas doing the same thing. I also will report them both Thanks

I too received the one page letter in the mail saying that I was approved for a loan from these people. I asked around and none of my friends heard of them. I faxed them my info over about 3 days ago and did not hear anything since. Being that I am a recently widowed mother with 4 children all under the age of 12 I became very excited that I would be able to pull myself out of debt and do something nice for my children. I called then number on the application and just receive voice mail which I thought was very odd since this is suppose to be a loan company, surly there is more than one person working there, that was my first bout of skepticism. I then trien to research them on the Web, they are listed under Superpages.com but this is where the link takes you. So my questions is to everybody who has dealth with them, did anyone receive any money from them like they were suppose to.

Thanks,
Mommie4x

i to was guaranteed $5000.00 for a loan i looked on the net and came up with your site thanks i will keep my $75.00

Thanks Everyone for the heads up about this ICS Finacial scam company.I look on anywho.com and 411.com under the phone number reversal and nothing came up. That is why I am glad I came to this website. Just think I almost consider also.

Just remember:
Any legitimate loan company does NOT ask for money upfront!!!
That should always raise a red flag! If it's too good to be true...it almost ALWAYS is!

hello everyone i have the same problem i think my wife must have done one of these payday loans to on my checking acct it is taking out $79 and $89 every two weeks and all it says is AC-CASH TODAY FEES,AC-ICS-ICS DEBIT and there is no phone number to contact anyone so my question is dones anyone know anything about these companies and if so how do i contact them please help thank you

Search ICS here and you will get posts about them everywhere. Their business practice is shady. Your first step is to close your bank account or block them from taking out money from your account. You will save some money from getting wasted. Their number is 1-800-680-2177 / 800-670-4705. Go through this link too.
