I was contacted by a Travel life go direct agent in the begining of march. She told me that I was eligible for a free package. She also mentioned to me, that she was going to add on two bonus packages for "free".. All I had to do was verify some information.in order to proove my identity, they need to obtain my account number.
I recieved the package, I opened it immediatly, and called Travel life go direct at 1-866-558-4013.in their main menu I was giving a list of options. I pressed option 8, which was to "cancel free membership trials." It was all too easy, In just a few seconds, the machine told me that my membership was succesfully cancelled. I assumed that the 2 bonuses, would be cancelled along with the cancelation, I had made in Travel life go direct.
On March 12th, I went Puerto Rico for an emergency. I called my bank just to confirm how much money I had left. I was told my account was overdrafted by $37.00. I was so upset. The associate of the bank said It was an electronic check made do Florida go direct (which was affiliated with Travel life go direct). The total amount of the check was $149.00
I called Florida go direct, and they told me they could do nothing on this matter. Meaning they could not give me my money back. They re-cancelled my membership on March 17th. I got a conformation number. Two weeks later, another check cleared in the amount of $59.95, for travel life go direct. At this point I knew this was a scham! I called Travel life, and spoke to an associate. She told me, that no cancellation was ever made, that was why I was billed.
Both companies, said that if I wanted my money back, I had to write a letter, and wait to get my money back (that was if I got it back). That my letter would be responded in the order it was recieved.
Today, March 29th. I got a letter from my bank, that my account was again over drafted. That another check cleared for the amount of $49.95, from a company named Lucid (another company associated with Travel life go direct).
I am a college student, and I can not afford such companies to be going into my bank account, and taking money whenever they please. I have tried to freeze my account, but for some reason, these 3 companies, keep getting access to my account.
Such companies should not be in business.
