These crooks sent a check enclosed with my mortgage statement - if you cashed the check (read the fine print) you agreed to sign up for their "service" and automatically be charged $9.00 / month. I laughed and tore up the check.
I stopped laughing when a $9.00 charge apeared on my next mortgage statement. I called Countrywide Financial and they said I'd have to deal with Trilegiant directly. After a phone call and a lot of run-around, Trilegiant agreed to stop the charges and show proof that I had authorized them.
It never happened! I had to contact the fraud department at Countrywide and threaten to involve them in a consumer fraud action before they stopped the charges, but I'm still out $18.00. They also promised to get my $18.00 back, but I've yet to see it.
