      Resolved
      DFC refuses to issue my refund and will not allow me o speak with any supervisors. Their whole system after I requested a refund has become shockingly scary & alarming. My case manager was especially condescending & rude when I simply asked for a general time frame of when to expect a call from Customer Service or have my refund processed. I believe this company is a scam that takes advantage of people in desperate situations. They should be investigated and charged in a court of law.
