Membership scam $19.95/month from checking account without written or any consent

I was very surprised to not see this company on consumer complaints, very surprised! This company is a complete scam, they ran an advertisement in the Kansas City market for cash loans. If you called their 800# they got your name and address and mailed you the "paperwork" to join their membership. Once I received my paperwork to "sign up" I had already talked to someone the 800# and they said they would not be able to help me (in other words they could not loan me money) because I lived in Kansas. I dropped the entire pursuit and when the paperwork came I threw it away.
In a couple of months they charged my checking account $19.95 for their membership fee, which is a total scam. I wrote and called someone and told them to stop this and they did for a little while, then before I knew it they were doing it again and now for two or three months they have taken out the $19.95 again. I did not authorize this in writing. My bank says they cannot dispute it because they are (this just happened after I made my initial complaint) issuing a printed check with my information and states "signature on file". They do not have my signature on file, but it is now up to me to rectify this matter.
Coincidentally they do not answer their 800# (says temporarily disconnected?) or their phone number listed on the fake check. I had a separate number for an individual from the beginning and this number is now disconnected as well. Their website is a joke, they do not respond to their emails. I just wanted someone else to be aware of this company and it's shady type of business.
I intend to get this taken care of on my end and since it was more my stupidity for pursuing originally I have nobody to blame but myself, but I thought I would pass this along in case anyone else was feeling the pressure to investigate the possibility of a loan and turned to this type of company I want them to be forewarned!!! They prey on the people like me with "not so good" credit and in this economy some level of desparation and take it a chunk of it at a time and each month. The worse part is you cannot reach anyone to rectify this.
