Privacy Matters 1-2-3 If i really wanted a membership with you for 20 $ a month i would have done what was necessary to do so. I wouldn't have used your "free one time offer" if i knew you were going to charge me twenty dollars a month after unless i some how figured out the proper channels to cancell. Not to mention the little one dollar charges that apeared out of no where. ripoff Internet *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account!

I really fell for the oldest trick in the book. Give them your credit card information and the rest is history.

I should have known, but at the same time when it was advertised as "free"you kind of think "ok". They asked for a credit card for a one dollar fee. I thought "OK" and did it. i just needed to know my credit cause i was kind of new to the whole thing so to speak. But of course there was a catch,i inadvertenly signed up for a membership that cost me twenty dollars a month.

The first month i looked over it on my credit card statement and luckily noticed it on the next one. In finding this i realized exactly what was going on. So, I knew i had to cancell it. After all this I realized that businesses take advantage of people by tricking them. You may say to your self that sure it was in the fine print but, do we as intelligent people have to assume that everyone is out there to trick people into paying them for a sevice that we don't intend on using more than the one free one. meaning one free creditr report. i mean everyone has heard you get one free one a year right? At least i thought so. WRONG! I went to the wrong company.

I ask you please join me in my contestment to companies that try to take advantage of hard working people. Yeah it was only 40$ that i wasted but, its the principle of the whole thing.

It's a big wonder why customers are always so pissed off. Probably because they are constantly being decieved and end up paying for it. Is it to much to ask that they make the fine print a really big BOLD PRINT.

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!
