Services that have not been rendered. Being charged twice for the same subscription, and company filed bankruptcy and has sent my account to a collection agency. (sko brenner american inc.)
In late 2002 I purchased a 4 year magazine through consolidated media services. Throughout 2003 I had 39.67 automaticly deducted from my checking account. Decemer 2003 i had fulfilled my financial obligation by paying a total 476.04 to cms and was to recieve the magazines for 3 more years.
In february i was contacted to further my subscription servives for 4 more years at the same price. After 3 months of payments at 39.67 a month i stopped payment.
Then they wanted the remaining balance 357.03. I didn't feel like i owed since this was a new contract that i had yet to begin recieving magazines for, since i had already pre -paid for and the new subscriptiond were not to begin until 2007. Well after talking to a collection agency that it had been turned over i learned that CMS had filed bankruptcy and SKO Brenner American had filed collections for 357.03 and had incorrect information on my accounts. None of it makes sense to me since these magazines are paid for til the end of and i have yet to start recieving these magazines that i supposedly owe for.
Therefore i thought it would be a simple matter of just cancelling the contract since in reality it had yet to start.
SKO Brenner says i am obligated to pay the balance and then said they wopuld cut me a deal if i could pay 176.00 and settle the matter.
I thought about it but decided that i was not obligated to pay for services that had not been rendered.
They were not helpful and i was told that i misunderstood and did not listen correctly when i was made the offer by CMS.
