    Status:
    Answered
    ********** ********** ******** I had contacted FPWS on 4/14/23 in regards to a TRP to enter Canada. At that time, it was suggest by the agent that I also apply for a Criminal Rehabilitation waiver specifically because it would make the TRP application look better. I was then told I would be on a payment plan for the criminal rehabilitation waiver and pay for the TRP over 2 payments. I was also told (without asking) that I can cancel the criminal rehabilitation waiver after 2 months. I was told I HAD to wait until June to cancel, but could cancel after my trip in August if I would like. I was contacted in late April being told I had to pay in full (which I never received a receipt for) although I was supposed to be on a payment plan. When I returned from my trip in august, I inquired about canceling and was told I could not, that “the work had been done”. NONE of this was communicated to me, or I never would have applied in the first place. I received a call early September, where they said they would review the calls. On September 13th I received a call from ******* who reviewed the calls, admitted their policy was not explained clearly to me, told me they got the work done quicker so I should be happy and I could cancel, but would not be issued a refund. The entire point of me asking about canceling AFTER my trip in August was to make sure it would be refunded. ******* told me I should use common sense and should have known that all of the applications were done, so that it’s common sense I would not be refunded (although that is not what I was told). She clearly heard this on the recorded call that she refuses to issue to me, *** **** ** ****** ** **** ** **** **** * ****** **** **** ****** ******* ** ***** *** ** **** * *** *****

    Was considering getting a pardon because it's been 5 years since my last charge, so called fed pardon waiver and got a nice man on the phone who assured me that I was eligible because it's been 5 years and told him all the charges etc he said shouldn't be a problem, upon all that he told me he was need payment so I agreed and was told I would be paying 218 dollars monthly and was glad I wasn't paying the whole amount in full, 6 months pass by and they took their payments off my credit card, everytime I called I got someone different never spoke to the nice man that said I could call or email whenever I wanted to know about the progress or details etc, instead I got the same lady on every extension that was extremely **** and ********** and didn't seem to care about whatever I was calling about. So in March called to check the progress after they took the March payment and she said I was ineligible and that there was no refunds, mind you I paid 2100 dollars and they are only telling me now I'm ineligible lol so I wouldn't be eligible for another 8 years she suggested I keep paying I said no she agreed she would put a stop payment on the account so I wouldn't be charged going forward , so called again few weeks later to make sure the payment wasn't coming out in April and she responds very ****** , looks like we've already had this discussion back in March and there is a hold payment on the account. But yet April 14th I get a charge on my credit card from them again without my consent. Now I need to file a dispute with my credit bureau. 2200 dollars later and no service provided, no refund of any of the funds and now have to go through my bank to get the last payment back. Thanks federal pardon waiver services. ****
