      I have been trying to get a refund from this company for a few months. I call them regularly and receive a different response each time. At first I was getting my refund back on my credit card in 20 minutes, next time I called they said they did not have my name and address to mail a refund check to. Next time it was going to be expedited and I would receive a check in 4 weeks. The last time I was told it would be 90 working days to receive a check. The people I talk to are extremely unprofessional and very deceptive. NCIC is an inmate messaging service contracted out by the state and needs to be investigated. I recommend everyone not to use their services.
