Family Readers Club
Fraud

A "local" teen came to my door selling magazine subscription to "help their seniors take a class trip". Having children of my own I know how hard it is for these kids and all the fundraisers the schools give them. I signed up for the magazines saying that I would only be billed about $30 a month for one year and I could cancel at any time. (That was over two years ago)

I am now being billed over $80 a month and have had collection agencies calling saying that we owe over $900 for these magazine. They have refused to send us anything in writing, and the last collection call from "Overseas Collections" (but caller ID says that they are SVM Technologies right here in MA) actually told my husband that they could not reveal the name of the company that they were calling for.

Family Readers Club has also called my house saying that we have not payed any bills to them (even though they charge my card TWICE a month) and when I ask them to cancel the subscriptions they refuse saying that I have to use the "chart codes" in the magazines. (There is no chart of codes—I've looked)

Someone really needs to take these people down. If they keep using kids in this manner, no schools will be able to fundraise.
