I am another victim of the telemarketer soliciting for mag sales via a great prize or sweeps contest that I do not recall entering. They say its because I'm a preferred credit card holder and the same thing happens to me as it has to all of you. I stupidly gave account info over the phone and now they wont let me cancel.
My problem company is with the United readers Service, LTD (United readers service, INC - also online), and Nathan Bounik Enterprises the authorized dealer of the company that called me.
To Maria of Dayton, Ohio who also filed on this site —here is help to cancel your subscription
1- check the rip-off-rpts for the Ramada Vacation Packages (under reports with pictures)
2- you should find a report by Christina of NY and another from a TX girl that used the Florida laws to get refunded all of their money back. The same laws apply to NME because they are based in Florida.
3-Check out the Florida State Telemarketing Law—you are not required to pay information, no written contract-the verbal consent over the phone is not valid,
4- find the Florida State Dept of Consumer Affairs online and file your complaint
I think the web link is: http://800helpfla.com/complaint.html or call 800-435-7352
I think you should also send NME a certified letter stating to cancel your order, include your name, physical address, phone number, order # or confirmation # thay gave you if you have it. You don't need to state why-none of their business.
Also, Maria, in my case I cancelled by bank debit card and am in the process of disputing the charges, and I plan to cancel my current bank acct and open a new one. They may try to collect money by sending me a bill which I will not pay. The best thing is that they cannot report the account to collections because they do not have my Social Security Number.
I hope this helps you. Act fast. I think you have 30 days from the date of purchase to file your complaint and receive a full refund.
Hint: I already found it impossible to cancel the magazines ordered to come to my home by calling each magazine publishers toll free number—ironically they sent me back to the customer service people at United Readers Service that would not help me to begin with.
Keep me posted on your case
