Company refuse to cancel service, claims to have recording that it claims is legally binding, however will not play tape unless you agree to pay account in full after hearing the tape. Company has consistently disregarded notices requesting cancellation of service, disregarding it's own "buyers right to cancel" section of it's own agreement letter. Company attemps to collect money through scare tactics, inside employees call possing as outside collections agents attempting to settle accounts. These employee's use threats of legal action to try and scare people into paying. Other companies just like IMS have been sued by the FTC for the same type of violations. I have sent numerous letters and faxes to the company informing them of my dissatisfaction with thier company to which they have not responded, nor taken the action requested.

Over a month ago I filed a complaint with my States Attorney generals office. About a week ago I recieved an email from the AG's office that included IMS's reply to the complaint. They finally wised up and canceled the service like they should have done in the first place. They also claimed that they had refunded the money that I had paid them, ya right well see about that.
Anyway this should be the end of this whole ordeal, I hope ! If you know of anyone that has been looped into one of these magazine sales fraud games just tell them to send faxes and letters to the company with proper dates on them so that they can prove that they have tried to get the company to cancel.
Also tell them NOT to pay any more money to the scammsters. Then have them contact thier state Attorney Generals office and file a complaint that includes all of the documentation that they have saved up. Let your tax dollars work for you by making use of the public servants that are there to serve you.

Company is still trying to trick me into settling my account to get some more money out of me. This company has repeatedly failed to respond to my letters and faxes requesting cancelation of the service even though thier own agreement states that I may cancel the service. As of this week I have found two more individuals that are in the same boat with the same company. When IMS would not cancel, I did not make the payments to them, and now my account is in collections and they are threatening me with legal action, that is why I have struck out to educate as many people as I can about this company and their fraudulent business practices.
