Trulia, Inc. www.trulia.com charged credit card unauthorized, sneaky, small print on receipt, informed me of charge, unapproved charges Internet

I agreed to being charged for 3 months of 'special' advertising.  The salesperson tried to sell me on 6 months and I specifically explained I wanted to try the service for a shorter time as I had been  unimpressed with the 'trulia agent pro' exposure so far.  The two services were over $300 per month.

The salesperson made it clear that if I didn't like the results I would simply not have to renew.

Apparently, I was sent a receipt (which I later found in my spam file) that STATED (not asked) that I would be charged for an automatic renewel if I did call to terminate.  Of course, I explained to Trulia that had I known anything about this that it would have gone into my calendars so that I would not miss the date.  I knew NOTHING of this. The service was not worth a penny, either.

I expressed to the Manager in billing (the 4th person I spoke with) that a "notification of being charged a renewel is not an agreement -- it is simply a one-sided wish and by charging me without my permission or even knowledge they had committed a crime.  It's called THEFT (the print on the receipt, even had I seen the receipt, was SO FINE, that I would never have noticed it anyway).

I would love to join a class action if one gets started and am glad for a venue to warn Realtors around the country.  Can I report a crime?  I will now call my credit card company.
