I ordered Instant Effects after seeing it on t.v. to give it a try. After trying it I called and canceled my account with them. I sent back everything that was sent to me even the 2 free items. The customer service person I spoke to canceled my account. On Jan 2, 2012 Instant Effect took $79.95 out of my checking account without my permission. Now they are trying to say that I didn't send all of the items back to them and I did, I even sent back the free items that they told me that I could keep. The man I tried to talk to on the phone from customer service was rude and couldn't get his story straight on what he was telling me on what i sent back, and yes i told a fib and said that I was recording us,and he got ticked,because i didn't tell him until after he lied to me. This account was canceled over a month ago and it is against the law to take money out of an account after it has been canceled. They are refusing to give me back my money.

HYDROXATONE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!
AUTHOR: angela edwards - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 19, 2012
I have filed a class action lawsuit against Hydroxatone for scamming customers via the "risk free trial" - customers who ordered Hydroxatone and returned the product within 30 days, but were still charged for the product and/or placed on "auto-ship" and billed further without the customer's consent.
angelaedwards Thank you

I, too, have been ripped off by hydroxatone, trial offer on internet was 1.99, I e-mailed them stating I did not want any further shipments of their products but to my surprise, in 2 months time the company took out a total of 139.90. This last time they took out 69.95 which cleaned out my account so the bank charged an overdraft of 35.00. Am on social security disability so I have very little income. Now I have to apply for another debit card but have some links to it, now I have to go through the inconvenience of contacting those companys. How can that company get by with doing this and what can I do to get a refund.

How to recover illicit acct deductions
AUTHOR: Troller - (United States of America)

I was a victim of this same scam last year. I went to my bank, immediately cancelled my debit card and then filed paperwork with the bank indicating that I had not agreed to any type of deduction by this company. My bank filed a report, i filed a complaint with the better business bureau in Florida and I did receive a refund to my acct. Your bank should be familiar with the federal paperwork that makes them file a fraudulent report for you and gives them guidelines to comply to assist you.
