Cord Blood Registry BEWARE OF SCAMMING BUSINESS PRACTICES Santa Monica California

We signed up for this service at the urging of our doctor prior to the birth of our son. We filled out the necessary paperwork and allowed for the blood to be collected at the time of birth. As a doctor, I felt that it was an important safeguard for the first few years of his life. However, as he got older, we realized that we no longer needed the service and requested and returned a termination letter for the samples obtained. A year passed and we got another bill for another year of storage for the sample. I called and spoke with a representative who said there had been an error and sent me another termination letter. I sent this one back and lo and behold, a year later, I not only get another bill but am sent to collections. I have paid the amount but plan on suing the organization in small claims court as I feel that they are doing this to others and scamming people out of relatively small amounts of money as they attempt to terminate their account. There are many different companies that can provide this service. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE. THEY ARE DECEPTIVE AND DECEITFUL REGARDING THEIR BILLING PRACTICES.
