I had a similarly scammy/scummy/shammy experience with http://Home-Account.com.

When I used their recommendations for lenders to apply for lower APR home refinancing (the core service they offer). I did it twice and neither bank ever even got back to me. It was like the form I filled out on the home-Account site just went to no where. Scary stuff when you're submitting a lot financial data. Anyway, I cancelled my account after that and changed some passwords elsewhere and moved on.

I then had to ask them three times over the next few months to stop billing me. Finally had to get someone on the phone which took several calls. I will say the CSR I spoke to was great, but the product is so hopelessly broken otherwise it doesn't factor.

So... Terrible experience with Home-Account. It's too bad, too. They're stated business model really solves a problem a lot of people had/have, their execution is just awful.
