Discover can only medieat situations such as these. All we can do is verify the company is complying with thier terms and policies. When the credit card is given, there is nothing we can do to override the conditions that the purchase was agreed on (and yes, if the card number is given, all terms, said or unsaid are agreed to).

If it was a cancellation, we need proof of cancelation in order to charge the company back (ie, certified letter, usps would show delevered on the date and if date falls in range of cancelation policy, you are set).

Going further then the company's policy requres a legal entity to dictate the validity of it. Discover is not such an entity, we are a final instution and our bound by laws that dictate when you make a purchase, we can only do our best to determine (via documentation) the company complied w/ thier terms and conditions. If you have no proof of cancelation, and the company says it never happened, then you must deal w/ them in court or another means, there is nothing Discover CAN (not wont, but can) do in this case.

And in regards to giving permission to charge, if the account number is given to them, they have full authority to charge, so dont give an account number if you do not intend any charges to be placed.

My name is Igor Reiant and I am the CEO of Search for Talent. I'd like to personally apologize for any problems you may have encountered with our service. We've worked with over a million clients in the last two years and have designed our sales and customer support procedures to accommodate every one of them. However, as with any company, problems and mix-ups do occur, and we do our utmost to solve them and prevent similar issues from happening in the future.

We are not hiding anything. When new clients sign up with Search for Talent, they pay a small fee for shipping and handling of their welcome package, then have a period of time to test out the site to see if they wish to continue with us. If the member does not want to be a part of the service and pay the monthly fee, then they must cancel during this trial period. Members of Search for Talent have the ability to cancel online at any time and send questions through the site directly to Customer Support.

If a client prefers to speak to the Customer Support Department by phone, our toll free phone number is provided during the initial sale and on the website. By calling 1-800-710-4210, you will be directly routed through to a real person who can answer questions, provide refunds and help you with any problems you may have. There are no phone prompts or mazes to go through, and wait time typically does not exceed three to five minutes. I apologize if you had an unpleasant experience with Customer Support, but know that such behavior is against company policy and we do correct it whenever it occurs.

Search for Talent is constantly working to improve our Customer Support Department, Sales Department and our website as a whole. We post thousands of new casting calls every week for people working to break into the entertainment industry. Search for Talent has also signed up hundreds of Casting Directors and Photographers who contact our members every day with upcoming opportunities. We are consistently growing and expanding, but it's not because we're a scam it's because Search for Talent works.

Thank you

Sincerely,
Igor Reiant
CEO Search for Talent

This is what I would do: I would write both companies via a trackable method and tell them the service was cancelled in July (or in the case of Tru Rewards, never authorized). Tell them they do not have permission to debit your card and to cancel your account and remove your personal informatoin from their files immediately. Demand a refund for past debits that were not authorized.

Going forward, if they continue to debit your account, you can use the letters (that you sent certified mail, return receipt requested or ups or fedex, etc) as proof to your cc company that these folks are not authorized.

If this fails, I don't know what to tell you other than see an attorney.

I contacted Discover Card in August and disputed the July charges. I was notified that Casting Talent told them I ok'd the charges and that they are legitmate. The charges went back on my account. Now every month I get charged and every month I complain. I even closed the orginal account and they charged the new account. I can't get any cooperation from Discover. The company will not speak to me. I am at a loss what to do. This is going to ruin my credit. I will never use discover card either. They have done nothing to protect my rights. I have even asked that the fruad department at Discover get involved. NOTHING is ever done! I now have a company True Rewrds that is now charging on my account. They told me they got my card number from Casting Talent. This is a real scam that won't go away. I can't believe that I have no rights.
