We ordered a couple of books from Children's Book of the Month Club with no obligation for further orders, but they just started sending us books very week. We called and wrote and refused them, but they kept coming and we kept sending them back. I wrote them again and they ignored the content of my letter and just stated that they were sorry and that they could not remove me from their mailing list and I would have to just keep getting unsolicited book deliveries.
Then, they billed me $27 for some of the books that I returned. I refused the bill and they ignored me. Eventually, North Shore Agency, Inc. Wrote me and demanded payment not only for books I refused, but ALSO for the value of books that Children's Book Club demanded I buy to fulfill my bogus "committment!"
These are both clearly businesses bent on defrauding citizens through pressure tactics while hiding behind the mask of being a "Children's" Book Club. I wrote them and told them they should be ashamed and that I would consider further mailings legal harassment. They just responded that they needed us to buy more books per our "obligation, " but they can't seem to find any written obligation on file.
They can keep mailing me until they spend $27 on postage, paper, and ink. American's don't bend to false threats. Buy your children's books elsewhere!
(Side note: call me paranoid, but have you noticed that several reports from different people and different states have the exact same verbiage in their reports? Even so, I'd rather report this book club and people know about it.)
