L.A. Tan; Puyallup, Washington Corporate Headquarters; Charging our bank account monthly and we've never been there! Puyallup, Washington

Electronic withdrawals of $21.87 began appearing on our bank statement in 2009, from L.A. Tan/The Pink Coconut. We had never heard of this company before that. I called the L.A. Tan store and got nowhere. I went to the bank and put a stop to the monthly withdrawals. The bank could only do that for 6 months. So now the 6 months is up, and sure enough, there is a withdrawal this month from L.A. Tan.

My husband is livid. He drove to L.A. Tan and raised holy hell. He had a hard time finding the place because they actually had the sign for a different business over their address. (We will be turning them into the Permit Department for that. He saw numerous violations that the Puyallup Fire Department would be interested in.)
Then he called the area manager--who of course is not answering his phone. We called the corporate office and only got voice mail. Plus, there is no e-mail address listed.

Tomorrow I go back to the bank and get new account numbers. It's the only way to stop these unauthorized, fraudulent charges. Someone in this company is a rip-off artist. And I must say, pretty good at it. We didn't notice the original charges until they had gotten around $100.00. Plus $15.00 the bank charged me for stopping the withdrawals for 6 months. I guess we're lucky it didn't cost us more that this.
