I see I am not the only one who has been attacked here. I got a notice from my bank that my account was overdrawn. I was bouncing checks. I checked my statement and discovered I was charged $63.26 for magazines. I contacted the company and cancelled my subscription....so I thought. In the mean time I received two more withdraws from two other magazine companies. After all the insufficient fund charges, bounced check charges and bank charges, my bank ballance is now -$486.44. I couldn't even close my account until I put this amount in the bank! Well I broke down, bit the bullet and borrowed the money to get my account to zero and closed it out. 4 days later I received this notice from Consolidated Media Services....
