Readers Discount Center Central Billing; Central Billing Network; CBN Readers Discount Center magazine sales by phone; CBN is collection service? Los Angeles California

March 14, 2016 - Received a letter from Central Billing informing me that we owed $953.62 to Readers Discount Center.  I contacted Central Billing right away.  I was told that I had an outstanding debt for a 6-year magazine subscription of which I had already made two payments against back in 2012 using a debit card and he conveyed the last four numbers of the card.  A card number I've not used in years - it was reported as lost or stolen as well.  I told this person that I did not at any time order magazines, much less near a $1,000.00 worth!  He asked if I had received a call from Readers Discount.  I told him that I had received several calls, a good distances apart, where I was abruptly asked if I had ordered magazines or was receiving magazines.  With each instance I told the callers - No, I did order magazines; No, I do not receive magazines; No, I do not want magazines; and demanded that they emove my name, address and telephone number from the listing.  I further told the gentleman that I do not show a debit against my account for the first two alleged payments; I have not received a bill, statement, letter, e-Mail, text or any other communication regarding a debt owed.  This is a scam.  The Central Billing letter further states that if they do not received payment or a letter of dispute within 30-days of the notice date on the letter they will report this "debt" to the credit reporting agencies.  I told this person, Central Billing, that I will dispute this debt claim, and I would notify the BBB.  BBB does have these two companies flagged.  I will also contact each reporting agency myself to make them aware of the scam.
