In November of a boy named James came to my apartment on my college campus and started telling my roommate and I about how he needed "points" in order to get a trip to Europe. He had to get more "points" than the other "team". Bottom line is I bought his story and bought 2 magazine subscriptions for a total of $73.
2 days later I received an e mail from my apartment complex saying 2 things: 1, that magazine solicitations was not allowed in the complex and to report anyone that was doing it and 2, that the guy James was under suspicion for scam and do not give him any money.
Naturally, this scared me especially since I am a college student and I don't have much money. I immediately called my bank and put a stop payment on the 2 checks.
In January I began receiving magazines despite my stopped checks. I then received a letter from Check Game Solutions, Inc. Stating that I owed the $73 $60 more dollars because I stopped my checks, making the total I owed them $133.
I ignored the first letter thinking that they were trying to scam me again and I sent the magazines back with the note "DID NOT ORDER" on them.
I then received another letter in March that threatened to file a case with the State Attorney's Office or any other Worthless Check Division.
So far, that is all that has happened. I have tried to call them but they never answer. I left a message but never received a call back. I refuse to pay money for goods I do not want.
Are they allowed to hassle me this way?
