I could of known about this earlier this month, I got caught when it said 2 week trial catch from the time you ordered ,not the time you get it. So you actually get a 11 day trial and they would not give me a refund. It went through a billing company. The guy told me I don't know how anyone can misunderstand that. It's pretty plain. I don't think they heard the last of me yet it was alot of money.

DH clicked on the PayPal pay later button last year. He had a horrible time getting cancelled after he paid it off.

My DH got on line & was checking our credit score. Don't know why he did this as we owe no one, home, car,trucks everything is pd for. On his chg card the next billing were charges for $1.00 & $29.95. Had him call & it was for the FREE credit check. He had signed up for a yr @ $29.95 per month to be able to check his credit. What a scam. They would only refund the $1.00. I have such a time with him on that computer. He is always signing up for free stuff & going into sites that we get tons of email. I had gotten him his own lap top last yr for Xmas, now I wish I hadn't. I am going to have to go in & lock him out of alot of sites. He is worse then a kid on this thing.

I called CS again and heard some convoluted story about how I did have that promotion on the account but it did not apply to those purchases. What??!! So I hung up, paid it off, and will NEVER, NEVER use this company again.
You have to watch your back all the time when it comes to your finances.

Yes, it is awful! once burned, twice cautious ... they should be reported.

I had not signed up for nor approved a Bill Me Later account and yet I rec'd an email that I had a payment due. I found PayPal's customer service number, called, and had quite a time getting them to cancel Bill... Now if I use PayPal, it goes on my card immediately.

Well worth repeating that "Freecreditreport.com" is NOT FREE. (the one with the ads on TV). If you want the free credit scores that you are entitled to once a year, go to "annualcreditreport.com". This allows you to get a free copy from the three credit unions. Request one every 4 months for good coverage throughout the year.

A lot of companies are very "shifty". I just recently got took by a service I had been using for several months on the promise that I would be billed $37 every 6 months. When I checked my bank statement they had charged me $91, I called they told me I misunderstood their sales rep, the $37 was only for the first 6 months. I was very upset. They did not explain to me that it would be more at the end of 6 months. You really have to be careful they have slick ways of deceiving you.
