Upon being transferred I was informed that there had been computer problems and could I confirm my; Name, Address (street, city, state and zip code), Date of birth, Telephone Number and lastly, my credit card number used for my magazine subscription billing. I then replied I wasn't sure which one I used, as I had a couple and could he tell me the last 4 digits. He explained that due to privacy policy, he could only say that the credit card I had initially used started with a 4. At the time I was not aware that only Visa credit cards start with the number 4. I then proceeded to give my credit card information, he then told me that I needed to, again, verify the information on a recording.
The one thing that made me stop and think, once the call had ended, was that my subscription total seemed higher than my initial agreement by $10. So I contacted the company in which I do legitimately have magazines delivered and asked why they had gone up. After about 5 minutes on the phone with them I had been informed that they NEVER contacted me and to cancel that subscription as soon as possible.
I tried to cancel and called for a month and got an answering machine recording time after time. When the charge appeared on my credit card I disputed it. The customer care representative of the credit card had me on a 3 way call with a Roberta, on March 9, 2009 and I explained that my information was obtain in a fraudulent and misrepresentation manor therefor there is no legal contract between us. My credit card company honored my dispute.
I received 2 notifications of delinquency from this company with no outlining product or service. I then sent a letter claiming harassment and requesting them to have no further contact with me. This request was not honored. They continue to contact me through their Florida office.
