Dear Mr. Schwartz, Ms. Ause, Ms. Levine,
My name is Johnny Q. I am a business professional like yourself with a lot of resources and contacts. I am requesting that your company do the right thing by resolving my issue.
The Issue:
On 5/28/2008 The Telemarketer called. She stated that I can cancel within 30 days for a refund. So, I purchased the kit and was charged $39.95. A few days, I called on 6/4/2008 not once, but twice to cancel the membership. I spoke to a Robert at 1:30 am (Have phone statement to prove it. He said it was cancelled and that no further action be taken. While I was talking to him, he tried to say that the full membership $497.40 was due (deceptive practice). I told him that your policy said, that I do not owe, if I cancel within the 30 days which I did.
I check my bank account on 7/14/2008 and notice the charges from your company. When I called your company they said that I did not call nor they have a record of the call or the cancellation on 6/4/2008 at 1:30 am. I was also told that I owe you the full membership fee.
If I did not cancel I would be charge again on 6/28/08. But to my surprise I was charged again 39.95 on 7/14/2008 and 29.95 on 7/15/2008.Deceptive!( Charge at a later date so it will pass the 30 days) I will be disputing this with my bank, because I did not authorize the transaction nor I sign any paperwork bearing my signature.
I wish my account: xxxxxxxxx be cancel immediately and no further charge to my account and the monies reimburse. Was also told that I owe the full amount, which I believe I do not owe, because Robert did not inform me of the cancellation process. Robert stated that I need not take further action. I demand that this will not escalate and be put to collection on my credit report. If the issue is resolve, I will not seek legal proceeding.
If this matter is not resolve, I have no choice but to contact, Federal Trade Commission, US Department of Commerce and Secret Service for Financial Fraud, the media (Turko file), Poster Inspector, Better Business Bureau, and seek a class action lawsuit for deceptive business practice.
The ball is in your court.
