I was charged $30.07 on my Visa credit card for debt protection. I was unaware that I signed anything that I wanted debt protection. I have never bought any type of debt protection on my other cards, my car, etc. I feel like I was scammed. I called the bank and they refuse to give me my money bank. I wished that you could straighten this out for me. I just sent an email to the bank and told them to email message to the president of the bank. Hope you can help. By the way, this Paul Brock. Thank you!
