Thane International
Equipment Company Thane, Int'l Passes CRC Information Without Consumer Consent

I purchased an Orbitrek from Thane International on 12/2899.

On 1/26/00 I neglected to see an automatic, unathorized charge on my CRC for $72.00 from MWI Leisure Advantage.

I purhcased an AbDoer from Thane International on 11/8/00.

On 11/27/00 I found an automatic, unauthorized charge on my CRC for $99.95 from MWI Leisure Advantage.

When I called MWI Leisure Advantage they informed me that I automatically was charged for their discount program becaus eI had not called to cancel in 30 days from the time I purchased equipment at Thane International.

When I spoke with Thane customer service and inquired as to why my credit card was given to another company without my authorization, their response was that every operator tells the customer about this offer at the time of purchase and that it is my obligation to call and cancel within 30 days. I informed her that I had never been told anything about a discount program for leisure activities.

This is a blatant RIP OFF of people's money. How many credit card statements have been paid without the person even noticing this automatic charge? I'm incensed.
