I joined "My Perfect Credit" last June 2004. They said I would be in control of all work done , charges etc. I didn't ask for anything and didn't even log back in until 2/2005 after getting an email stating a problem with my credit card, (it had expired) I did not in the meantime get any mail or emails from them. I sent the required cancel notice too.
I know its stupid but I did not know they were still taking money from my acct. They said it would come out in one name and then switched to another, a total of 3 different names on my statement. I have tried to get them to call me since 2/2005, I have emailed, requested a refund etc.
8/7/2005 I get a phone call today from a collection agency - 1st Credit of America saying I owe "MPC" almost $300.00. I have never gotten any letters from them and I told him he would have to send me written proof of the charges. He said he would email them and mail them to me also.
Well, no email yet, we will see about the letter.
The guy was rude and pushy and demanded payment then. I told him to hang on and I called "MPC" and left my phone on speaker so he could hear it all. She admitted I had called and requested a refund back in 2/2005 and had made several calls and 1st Credit of America guy just says that doesn't mean I don't owe them. 1st Credit says it will be put on my credit file.
Today they send me an email saying :

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

You did not choose a good company! [re: NiftyFifty] Reply to post
And in fact that may help you with your current situation
MyPerfectCredit.com and ClearCredit.com(both using several other names for their business) merged and both and each separately are being reported as scams and ripoffs on the net.
First some things to read:

The principal contact for both ThePerfectCredit & ClearCredit is Aaron Jones, President and he shows up at ClearCredit's office at 65 Enterprise Dr.,Suite 455, Aliso Viejo,CA.-phone 949)330-7400.
MyPerfectCredit apparently has offices in several states including California and Ohio; certain locations:1805 N. Carson St.,Carson City,NV. 89701-phone 877-469-7373,St.,Santa Monica,CA.90405....additional telephone listings 800)792-5327 & 866)792-5327.

and
Click here for the California BBB report & company's F rating
Note this section: Complainants allege that the company fails to provide promised credit improvement services after fees are paid. Complainants state that they are charged even though they have not authorized the company to dispute items on their report. Most complainants report difficulty contacting the company regarding services. Emails aren't answered, and there are no telephone numbers listed for the company with directory assistance. Other customers complain they are unable to log on, or otherwise access their information on the company's website.
[473 complaints in 1 year)
The company responds to some complaints by issuing refunds. Some complaints are unresolved, meaning the customers are not satisfied with the company's response. In one case, the company agreed to provide a refund, however, the customer wanted services instead.
