The Galaxy Mall ripoff is ticking me off. My wife and I went to a Galaxy Mall presentation in Orlando in 2001. She was recovering from a surgery and we were curious about their offer. After the presentation, a sales person glued himself to us and hammered us with the benefits Galaxy offered.
As I said, My wife was recovering from surgery and becomming very weak and ill. To expedite getting away from the sales guy and get my ill wife home, I agreed to look over the offer and consider it, signed some paperwork to take the package home and left.
I did look over the mall literature, called them, and declined the offer. At that point I was told that I must continue and that we had a contract deal, again I declined and forgot about them.
Just recently, I had a credit turn down and the cause was Galaxy Mall/Monterey collections agency. It seems the origional contract amount had grown from $3,229.00 to $5,273.00. My wife was contacted by Monterey collections who were very rude and demanded payment or they would fight to ruin our credit.
My stand is, hell can freeze over before I pay a dime for something I have never used and never will. They use this (credit reports) as leverage to make people pay for a service that they have never used or can't use as I have found on the net. This to me is a FRAUD and a SCAM.
