CRC Of Virginia, Inc Aka Community Reading Club Of Virginia, Inc after cancellation tries to make you pay for extra months but refuses to continue service for paid months Virginia Beach Virginia

This company is trying to charge me over 700 dollars & I have no clue why it is so high. I thought that the payments were only supposed to be 39 dollars a month for 12 months. That would make my total owed around 468 dollars and I paid 312. So, I should only owe around 156. I attempted to call and cancel because I could no longer afford to make the payments but the number the had provided me was phony. In response to that I just cancelled my debit card so they would quit charging me. I figured by doing that they would stop sending me the magazines and it would be done with. Well, I was wrong. Instead they billed me over 700 dollars and never sent me the rest of the magazines once I stopped the payments. They said that once I made my payments I would receive the rest of them. In my opinion if somebody quits paying something then you should quit sending them the product. They told me at the collection agency if I didn't pay the 700 dollars that they could possibly take me to court. Has this happened to anyone else? Did they take you to court?

I too blindly joined CRC of Virginia's magazine club. I received a letter in the mail (which I should have copied) that said "If you send this in within X amount of days, your subscription will be cancelled." I sent in the letter, and even called the number they gave me to cancel.

When I called the number in question, I told them that I realized that I was not financially able to pay for this. The personon the phone with me said "Alright, let me just get that taken care of, and you should be good." I called three times, and they still took money out of my account. I called them again and told them that I sent in my cancellation notice, and called the number three different times to cancel their services. The man on the phone said "We never sent you a cancellation notice." I really wish I would have copied that letter.

I wasn't able to get my $100 back, and I ended up changing banks. At least three to four times a day, CRC will call me, but I just don't pick up. I never saw the diamond watch I was promised either. I figured that if I don't pay them, I won't get any more magazines. I've received the number of magazines I paid for, but again, I didn't receive the watch they promised would come first. One of these days I might just pick up the phone and have a little chat with them.

I'm sorry you were put into that situation. All the help and answers you need are posted at
