While looking for new homes on the internet I signed up for a free trial through Bargin Network Homes to view foreclosure listings in my area. I authorized a $1 charge on my debit card for the seven day free trial.
I completely forgot about canceling my account with bargin networks and neglected to keep a close eye on my bank statements. As a result a few months later I notice a $59.95 charge on my account. I called Bargin Networks to cancel my subscription. They informed me that they were not making the charges to my account but that they saw that a company called Wired Investors was indeed charging my account. I asked for the number to Wired Investors and called them. While I was on hold I did some searching on the internet and came across some consumer complaints that others had filed. When a represenative came on the phone I was very firm with what I wanted from the begining. I told them that I had signed up on Bargin Networks but, that they, Wired Investors were making $59.95 charges to my account that I did not authorized and that I had read on the internet about how they were scamming customers. I then informed him that I was not concerned about the past months charges but, that I needed a refund for the charge made this month. He did not not apoligize or try to correct what I had said. He said what he could do was refund two months worth of charges (that would post to my account in two to three business days) and would "cancel my account" (the account I never signed up for with them). I said that that was fine and could I please have his name in case of any further problems. He told me he would not give me his name but would give me a confirmation number, which I wrote down.
