I received a letter in the mail on June 12th saying that because i ordered teeth whitening(which i didn't!!) they were sending me free magazines and would start charging me May 24th if i didn't respond!! I never even gave anyone my credit card number and didn't even know what the hell this company was!! I don't even read magazines!!! I had to cancel my credit card (which they had already charged $24.95!!!) who knows how they got it!!!

i have told family readers club to cancel my subscription and they will not do it.they keep calling me on the work phone when they should be calling me at home.they say i am a good customer but i am not interested in getting any more magazines from them.i wish there was a way to stop them from calling me and sending me a lot of magazines through the mail

OK, here we go! July 2009 a magazine service by the name of United Readers Service had contacted me, and I ordered 5 magazines. 21 magazines later, I attemped to cancel-they refused. I contacted the United States Federal Trade Commission, State of Ohio General Attorney, and the BBB of Greater Ohio. Well United Readers Service did cancel my subscription services, but you know that stupid little verbal agreement tape that they record... they passed it along to Family Readers Club and Family Readers Club doctored the tape to make it seem that I had verbally agreed to magazine services through them. I have tried to cancel services through this organization, but they will not let me go. They tried to use my credit card, and also tried to withdraw from my checking account. That has been handeled. NOBODY gets my money without my authorizing it. So now I have to deal with the bullshit that I had to deal with when I dealt with United Readers Service. Here is a suggestion, because peopel it will happen over and over again... one magazine service passes vital information including your credit card/debit atm card to the next magazine service (and trust me there are around 200 magazine services that are fradulent).

WE NEED A GOOD ATTORNEY THAT CAN REPRESENT ALL OF US FOR A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, AND WE NEED TO SUE THE @%## OUT OF EVERY SINGLE MAGAZINE SERVICE. Does anybody know of any such attorneys, that are GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO? Hit me up at bodyreshapingforever.com, and let's get this shit rolling!

Let's face it, these magazine services representatives are trained to stall people and bill people to get money, that is why they will not cancel anyone. It is a TACTICS GAME! Do any of these magazine services sound familiar: United Readers Service, AGORA MARKETING, INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE SERVICE, AGORA NATIONAL PUBLISHERS EXCHANGE, MAGAZINE SERVICE BUREAU, FAMILY READERS CLUB, BUDGET... and the list goes on.
I am very serious, these magazine services need to be put out of service-each and every single one of them. Let's do something. The complaints are out there. Peace.

I spoke with a representative of the company on August 28, 2009 about making a payment of 39.95 on August 31st. When I checked my online banking account, I saw I had been charged for an additional 39.95 and another payment of 139.00. I have talked with people from this company since the beginning of the month. The main person I have spoken with is a man named H.W. and today I spoke with a woman named Kim. She told me I had spoken to three people on three seperate occasions giving authorization for all three transactions, which is a bold face lie. I only spoke with two people and only one was given permission to take money from my account. Now they refuse to give me back my money despite the fact I never authorized the last two payments.

The company called me repetitively for a week or so. I got phone calls from (321) 409-6058, (315) 384-4544, and (866) 250-2650. I was always missing their calls. When they finally got a hold of me, I fell for their scam. They lied to me and said that VISA and Bank of America had provided them with my information because I was such a good customer, but that is not the case. I do not know how they got my information.

I was told that I could get a subscription to 5 magazines for $49.95, but that I would only pay $4.95 for now. I was then told that on the 1st, $49.95 would come out and that it would continue to come out for the next 26 months. I thought this sounded like a good deal. Too good to be true is what I now know.

The company instantly took $49.95 out of my account. I called them back to report the "error" that they had made. I was told that I obviously was stupid and that I did not listen to them. I was also told that they had recorded the phone call and could prove that this is what I agreed to. First of all, I was called by three different people throughout the "subscription" process. I was called by the previous person's "supervisor." I have no idea which (if any) of the conversations were recorded. However, I never consented to them recording my conversations.

After trying to cancel and being told I could not, the person I spoke with told me to call (866) 988-2582. This is apparently the main line, but it is impossible to actually speak to a real person at this number. The automated system is a labyrinth of push this number and push that number until you reach a voice mail box that is always full.

Now, they will not let me cancel my account with them. I am being told I must wait to receive paperwork in the mail, which could take 7 to 10 business days. I am currently working with my bank and the BBB to get my money back and cancel my "subscription" to their services.
