About 4 days ago i got a call asking if i wanted to recieve a diamond watch as a gift for applying to recieve a few magazines. With Christmas around the corner I agreed. After listening to there speach about how great an offer it sounded, and it did seem like a good offer at the time. I only had to pay $3.84 per week for one magazine and i got a few other magazines of my choosing free.
After being transfered to 3 different people they finalized my order and explained to them that all i would have to pay was $74 a month for 12 months and then i would never have to worry about another payment for the rest of the 60 months i was to receive the magazines. The only thing they "asked" was that I keep my substriction till the end of the payments. Not that i had to and that there was a cancellation fee or anything of the sort.
So when the guy is asking for my account number to verify where to amke payments to, I told him that I couldn't make the payment until the 3rd of October. He said that was no problem, that he would just run a pre authrization to see how much money was in the account. Well he went ahead and charged the account anyway. Causing me to have a negative balance in my account.
So I called up wanting to cancel my account before they sent me anything that i would have to send back, and they appologized for the mishap and offered to reduce my payments to $44 dollars a month for 20 months instead. After getting off the phone and trying to figure out what to do, i did some reseach and found other customers that had had also been ripped off. So hear i am writing this lengthly report hopeing others won't fall victim of Area Circulation Inc.
