I was contacted back at thebeginning of March this year by Worldwide Readers Service, Inc.in Lakewood, CO asking if I wanted some magazines sent to my home. Ibelieve I stated that Id like that. The call was recorded, but I dont reallyrecall any of the details of the call. I tried calling many times to cancel themagazines once I realized I didnt care for them. The line was always busy& I continued to redial for at least a half an hour. Not being able to getthrough to the company was very frustrating. But I kept trying because I amgetting 8 magazines that I dont care for or have the time to read. This afternoonI got through to someone, but the person who answered said something veryquickly & before I could speak they hung up. I redialed the number, 1-866-570-2900which is on my credit card statement. This time the woman stated the name ofthe company so quickly I again could not understand it. I asked her to cancelmy subscriptions immediately for all the magazines that her company hadsubscribed for me; she stated that that she couldnt do this. I repeatedly askedher to cancel all subscriptions immediately. I finally asked to speak to someonein management & was placed on hold for a short time. A male came onthe line stating that his name was David. I told him that I wanted all subscriptionsthat his company had subscribed for me to be canceled immediately. He statedthat that was not possible that I had a contract to fulfill & I still owedhis company $449.70. If I refused to pay this amount that his company wouldturn my account over to a collection agency & that my credit would beruined. He wanted to know why it took me so long to call to cancel. I told himthat I tried many times to call to cancel, but could not get through to hiscompany. I asked his full name which is David Duran. I asked him who was the presidentof his company is to which he stated he was & the name of the company, & their address. I then toldhim that I would try handling this matter through different channels & Ihung up. I really dont want to continue receiving these magazines for the next15 months (a year & 3 months); especially at the price they will charge me! I am unemployed & have realized that I really cannot afford to continuepaying for these magazines. I have some health problems now & depending on the outcome of sometests that I had done its quite possible that my medications alone may run thousandsof dollars a year. I wont have more tests until the end of Jan. 2011 toconfirm exactly what I have. So I could really put that money to far betteruse.
