Galaxy Credit And U.S. Subscription Services Debt collection for fraudulent subscription service. Galaxy Credit is trying to collect $74.88 from me for a subscription service that was never provided Peoria, Arizona Peoria, Delaware

U.S. Subscription Services solicited me by telephone and offered to extend my subscription to Autoweek magazine for three years for the price of $74.88. I refused their offer to pay by credit card and requested that I be billed by mail. When I received the bill, I contacted Autoweek.

Having read an article about subscription services, that were fraudulently soliciting subscription extensions from current Autoweek customers, I found that U.S. Subscription Services was not authorized by Autoweek to extend subscriptions.

I called U.S. Subscription Services and cancelled their offer. They said that I could not cancel their offer. U.S. Subscription Services had never extended my subscription. I replied that they had not provided the subscription service that was offered and that I was not interested in having that service provided. Furthermore I stated that they had no authorization from Autoweek to provide this service. They said that they would refer my bill to a collection agency and my refusal to pay would ruin my credit.

Last week I received a letter from Galaxy Credit saying that they were attempting to collect this bill for $74.88 for their client U.S. Subscription Services. It seems that other people have been affected by a similar scam by subscription renewal services and Galaxy Credit's attempt to collect frauduent claims.

I have contacted Autoweek and will be contacting the Attorney General of the State of Michigan about this scam. Hopefully this will put a stop to their illegal harrasment of magazine subscribers.
