BARGAIN NETWORK, LEGAL SHIELD, EASY SAVER, PRICE STORE BARGAIN NETWORK AND ITS AFFILIATES MADE UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS RIPOFF VENTURA California

WHEN I READ AN ADVERTISEMENT IN MY LOCAL PAPER ABOUT OBTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT CARS BEING AUCTIONED OFF, I NEVER DREAMED THAT IT COULD TURN INTO THE SCAM THAT IT HAS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE A 30 DAY TRIAL PERIOD AND THAT I COULD CANCEL ANYTIME WITHIN THAT 30 DAY PERIOD. I WROTE EVERYTHING DOWN IN CASE I DID WANT TO CANCEL. THIS CALL WAS MADE ON JUNE 29, 2004. I DID CALL AND CANCEL BEFORE MY 30 DAY TRIAL PERIOD WAS UP. WHICH WAS BEFORE JULY 27,2004. MY TOTAL COST SHOULD HAVE BEEN $1.95. I DRIVE A TRUCK FOR A LIVING AND I DON'T KEEP AN EYE ON MY CHECKING ACCOUNT LIKE I SHOULD. THE NEXT MONTH MY WIFE NOTICES THAT THERE HAS BEEN A DEBT OF $19.80 MADE BY BARGAIN NETWORK, $14.95 MADE BY EASY SAVER, $14.95 PRICE STORE, $14.95 LEGAL SHIELD. THE LAST 3 BUSINESSES I HAVE NOT EVER HEARD OF MUCH LESS GIVEN THEM ANY AUTHORITY TO ACCESS MY ACCOUNT. I MADE CALLS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. I CALLED AGAIN AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS I WAS GIVEN TO CANCEL BARGAIN NETWORK. THIS HAS WENT ON FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS AND MY $1.95 BARGAIN HAS TURNED INTO $44.85 EASY SAVER, $44.85 LEGAL SHIELD, $59.80 PRICE STORE, AND $61.35 BARGAIN NETWORK. I DID REACH SOMEONE AT EASYSAVER AND LEGAL SHEILD AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REFUND THE MONEY THEY HAD TAKEN. EACH COMPANY ONLY CREDITED MY ACCOUNT FOR $14.95. THEY STILL OWE ME $29.90 EACH.
I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCESSFUL REACHING ANYONE AT THE NUMBER THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE PRICE STORE, THEY OWE ME $59.80. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I TALKED TO BARGAIN NETWORK THEY LED ME TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND REFUND MY MONEY. I EXPLAINED TO THEM I HAD DOCUMENTED EVERY CALL TO PROVE THAT IT WAS CANCELED. THEY HAVE NOT REFUNDED ANYTHING. SO, MY $1.95 HAS TURNED INTO A TOTAL OF $210.85.THAT I OVER $200.00 TAKEN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS?
