Yellow Pages Directories ripoff Misleading Marketing Preying on the confusion of business owners with look a like "Final Notice." Carrollton Texas

I started a new Psychotherapy Practice last August. In setting up the business I took out an ad in my local phone book. A month after moving into the office I was sent a "Final Notice" with the dire warning that if I did not return the form with my signature my listing would be "omitted." I thought I was responding to the ad I had already approved. I signed it and mailed it in.

I then started receiving invoices for my ad. I paid for my ad in my local phone book ($240). I then started receiving invoices for $298. I didn't pay these invoices because I had no idea what I was being billed for.

It was only after I started receiving phone calls from the Law Offices of WC French, that the attorney/bill collector told me that I was paying for a National listing. I told him that I did not approve such a listing, didn't want a National Listing and had no use for a National Listing. My clients are not going to drive from Kansas to see me in North Carolina! He told me that I owed the company $298.

After doing some research on the web, I have found this website and others with accounts of those who have had the same experience with this company. The Better Business Bureauof Dallas has had 261 complaints so far with this company !

I am not going to pay for an ad I didn't want or a "contract" I inadvertently entered into under false pretenses. If this happens to you, don't pay. Report them to anyone who will listen. My next website will be the Attorney General of North Carolina
