Complaint / Review
Progressive Business Publications
Fraud

In November, I was contacted about a free trial. No obligation. I politely declined and said that I already had too many things to read, and that I wasn't interested. The rep said, I understand. Thank you for your time. Just to verify that we spoke and so I can take you off the mailing list can I have your month and day of birth. I said ok. Thought it was done.

Started getting the publication in the mail called "the selling advantage, " along with past due invoices. We imagined that they were invoicing us and thought it would go unnoticed and get paid. Well, that is not the case. We would not pay for something we did not want or need. Finally, come March we get a call from the International Credit Recovery collection agency, stating we had an unpaid balance that would be reported to the credit bureaus. Irate! We got in contact with PBP and after the run around. I finally get a manager Nikki Shimmel. She says that if we just pay $74.10 to cover invoicing, publication, and mail costs, it will clear us from collections and that we would not be bother. Fine! We did. I even got an email stating that we had been cleared. Now June. Katie from ICR 720.320.6262 is calling saying that we owe for another subscription called the Internet Marketing Report. Saying we have been being invoiced since December. Well, I have never seen these invoices. She can't even produce a sound bite where I agreed to the subscription that costs $299. I think not. This is a complete scam and seriously something needs to be done about it. It is unacceptable that they have been able to operate this long. After we hung up on Katie, saying we will not pay. She called back 3 minutes later stating that we would have the option, like last time to settle. Nope. Not again. They already got $74.10 more than they deserved. What's even worse is that time they stole from me!!
