Ripoff failed to refund duplicate payment

On January 28, I paid $80.88 in full payment for an invoice I had received on my account. On March 2, my wife, not realizing the account had already been paid, issued another check as payment of the same account.

Subsequently realizing that a duplicate payment had been made, my wife talked with someone on the phone about this and was told that a refund would be made after verification that a duplicate payment had been received.

On June 17, I wrote to Reader's Digest Asssociation, Inc., explaining the situation and requesting the refund for $80.88.

On July 19, not having received the $80.88 refund and having received no reply from Reader's Digest (not even an acknowledgment of the claim), I again wrote a letter to Reader's Digest Association, Inc., attached a copy of my previous letter and again requested a refund of the $80.88 duplicate payment.

I still, as of September 7, have not received the $80.88 refund or any acknowledgment of the claim.

It now appears that Reader's Digest plans to just keep the $80.88 without even a reply to my letters. This is completely different from the image I had previously had of Reader's Digest, but I can not now recommend them to anyone.
