Universal Subscription Agency ripoff - never received receipt Las Vegas Nevada

I had the same problem others have written about. Back at the end of April 2 salesmen came to my door with the same story as all the others. I ordered a magazine from them and didn't think anything of it. After the sales men left(very pushy and sneaky) I realized I didn't have a receipt and that when figuring it out, the magazine was more expensive through them than through the store. They had given me the phone number to call if I wanted to cancel, within 3 days. I called that number and could never get a live person. I called my bank and put a stop payment on the check (funny that they wouldn't take credit cards).

On June 29, 2005 I received a letter from Check Game Solutions, inc stating the my account had been sent to collections for the $52 magazine AND $30 bank fee. I called the collection agency and went round and round with the person on the phone. She said I hadn't cancelled the correct way, per the back of the receipt. Again, I reiterated that I never got a receipt. I said I would cover the bank fee, but did not want to pay for a magazine I didn't want. She said my account would still be forwarded on to the credit report companies until I paid it.

This is totally unfair! Why should I have to pay for something I don't want.
