This is the second time that I have had to deal with this company. The first time was under Consolidated Media Services and now under Media Outsourcing. And don't try to tell me that it isn't a rip-off, the first time this happened I was only 20.
When they called me they told me that I would be able to renew three magazine subscriptions through them for cheaper than I could through the magazines. When they took my personal information (of which they somehow already knew my checking account number) I told them I was 20. They said that I was too young, that I had to be 21. The person then said that they would lie for me and say that I was 21 so that I could do it.
When I got a confirmation call they said that it was going to cost almost $1000 for one year of magazines and listed off a list of five or six magazines, one of which I had never even heard of that I was going to be getting. They wouldn't let cancel the order because they said that it had already gone through.
Well, a ton of cancellation calls, four letters of cancellation, a closed checking account, hundreds of harrassing calls at home and at WORK from this company, and a year later they sic a collection agency on me. Well, it only took one letter to the collection agaency telling them that the company that they were representing had committed a fraudulant order by lying about my age without my asking them to got the agency off my back and the debt off my account.
And now, four years later, I just got a magazine subscription in the mail for one of the magazines that they had tried sending me before. When I called the subscription services at the magazine they told me that it had been started by Media Outsourcing. When I checked my account online, not only had I been charged, but they had somehow used my OLD, expired, card number that I have not used since I got my new card over a month ago.
They will definitly not get away with anything from me this time. I've stopped them before and I'll do it again. I've already filed a complaint with one lawyer firm and you can guarantee that I am not stopping there.
