Bottom Line Book recieved from Bottom Line Books that I did not order.

I received a book I did not order. I opened to see what it was and immediately resealed it. Post Office wanted to charge me $12 to return! Tried contacting Bottom Line for a return label and was having to deal with a scam person..HOWLY.COM, trying to charge me $1 and then $55 to take care of this. My bank immediately notified me of fraudulent activity and cancelled that account. I will refuse to pay any bill associated with this book. This correspondence took place on Dec.5,2023 in the evening around 8pm.

Desired outcome: Don't mail anything else and remove me from any lists Bottom Line Books has. Do not bill me as I refuse to pay for something not ordered.

Bottom Line Bill I received for 25.54

I was sent a book (ultimate women's guide 2023) I did not order and spoke with Mel in your service department on May 22, 2023 and she said she would send me a return label. I never received it, so I trashed the book. I then received the book I ordered (bottom line year book 2023) with a statement for amount due $44.19. I paid the amount due with a check and now they are telling me I still owe $25.54 balance. There was no balance on the original statement, or I would have paid it in full. I think your dept. needs better supervision. I am not spending anymore money on stamps.

I managed an office for twenty years, with no complaints. If this is not resolved, I will have to report it to the better business bureau. Hoping you will resolve this matter. The letter was sent to me by Ellen Anne Jay, customer service mgr.

this is a necessary part of putting in the permanent crown.

I cannot believe Delt Dental Denied expense. Even though it only cost $250.00, and we paid years of fees to this company for this insurance.

Desired outcome: Pay to the Dentist the $250.00 Simple to the dentist.

Bottom Line Books being sent without ordering.

This company I believe tries to target and take advantage of people in general but what I am talking about personally is the elderly.

My 95-year-old mother continues to get bills for books that were never ordered. I have call Bottom Line Books numerous times and told them that we are not going to pay for and bill and have told them to get my mother's name off of their list and to take her name completely out of their systems, but the bills keep coming.

If you will notice they have a 2-star rating and a ton of complaints, so this is not an isolated problem.

Bottom Line sending books that were never ordered

My mother is being mailed books she never ordered. If she doesn't open it and simply returns to the mailman--return to sender, she shouldn't receive any more I hope. Will this remove my mother from their mailing list? I am very angry that she is being taken advantage of in this way. I just realized she's paid hundreds of dollars to this company for books she doesn't need.

Desired outcome: I want all book shipments to my mother to cease.

Bottom Line Billing about a book never ordered

BottomLineBooks sent my 90 year old mother, a box with a book in it, which was then returned by me (unopened) via USPS back to the BottomLineBook company. She has received a billing date 01/13/23, stating she entered into an agreement to pay $43.58 for the book, which she says she never entered into any such agreements on these book(s). So now I've scanned in the billing, & will upload it to the complaint board.

She is not paying for a product that's never agreed upon, & has been returned in Oct22-Nov2022.

Desired outcome: Drop all charges and/or any such claims on her agreements.

Bottom Line Bottom Line BL Ultimate Women's Guide 2023

I received an invoice #[protected] for BL Ultimate Women's Guide 2023, dated as of 12/02/2022. I did not order this book and I did not receive it. The invoice says It was shipped on 11/28/2022. Again, I haven't received any book and didn't order any book. I did order and receive the Ultimate Women's Guide to Beating Disease 2022 about a year ago which I received and which I paid for, I wasn't impressed enough to order anything else from BottonLineBooks. I tried to get information online but seemed to just get the run-around. I got to a chat room but they wanted my credit card number to get an answer and I will not give them a credit card number. I also found out that I would also have to start paying them $46 a month if I pay $1 to discuss this issue and would need to cancel to get out of paying that.

Desired outcome: I should not have to pay this invoice for a book I didn't order, didn't want and didn't receive.

Bottom Line Book: BL Health Breakthroughs 2023

I received an invoice for the book: BL Health Breakthroughs 2023, requesting from me $48.10 payment, however I did not order this book. I did order and pay for the book: BL Health Breakthroughs 2022. It appears that there has been an error made by the billing department. I neither ordered not received the 2023 version of the above stated book. The invoice states that the book was shipped on 11/21/2022 which would mean that I would have had to order the book a day to a couple of days prior to this date. The entire week prior to this date I was sick in bed, and barely looked at the mail: I was mostly asleep. I made no purchases of any kind during this span of time, and I was too weak at the time to get to a mailbox; I ordered the 2022 edition through the mail not online. I plan on calling the Bottom Line Books company on Monday to follow up on this unfortunate error.

Desired outcome: To resolve this error in billing.

Bottom Line Bottom Line Books

We received an invoice in the mail for a 2023 Yearbook that we never requested and had not received. We contacted the company by email and explained their error. They replied that the book should arrive in a week or two and to return the book with a return label they provided in their response email. We ultimately received the yearbook and returned it in the unopened package it arrived in with the label they provide. Now, two weeks later or thereabout, we receive another invoice from them stating that payment had still not been received the the amount now due of $34.96 and a total balance of $52.44. I have again responded with the actions we have taken and to discontinue the billing harassment. This company is shady and should not be allowed to continue this pathetic business practice.

Desired outcome: That the company is prohibited from doing any future business.

Bottom Line On January third 2022, we purchased a defective 27 cubits ft . Refrigerator

The LG 27cubit ft side by side refrigerator was delivered to my house and the delivery people set it in place and plugged it in. I removed the food from my small kenmore chest freezer and filled my new LG side by side refrigerator and I was so proud of my new purchase. Since my old small chest freezer was old I threw it out. And a few days later I went to my new LG refrigerator to get ice cream. And all my food had ruined. You see we purchased this refrigerator to put it in the garage as a backup for our French refrigerator. Now we have been without a second refrigerator for over a week now. I would love to recover some of my losses.

Desired outcome: Recover some of my food losses.

Bottom Line Health book

I bought a book from Bottom Line in 2019. I was disappointed! The information they promoted as "new discovery" was one pill for my vision I had been taking for a while. But, OK. My surprise was next year, I received another unsolicited book. I just can't believe the abuse with older people for whom sometimes to find a way to return and item, is not so easy. What a big fraud! Then, they start sending letters for you to pay a book you don't want, you didn't buy … you are not interested at all. I finally, found a way to communicate with them, and the person at the phone asked me to send the book back, which I had to pay to do so as I had opened the box to check what was inside. She said all will be OK with me and The unsolicited book. I sent the book back. No immediately as it is not easy to me to go to the post office and do the long lane, after sending the book, I thought I had finished with that nightmare. I was wrong. Bottom Line gave my acct to a collection company because they want me to pay $48.55 for the book I didn't buy and I had already returned. . They hit my credit score 7 points down and are harassing me with letters asking me to pay. What a fraud and a terrible company.
Who can help me? Do Not Buy ANYTHING from BOTTOM LINE or you will be in the same nightmare I am now! Help to put BOTTOM Line and it's collection agency NSA North Shore Agency to act right and stop the fraud and the harassment against old people. They are a fraud and abusers! Creditor Acct # [protected] NSA acct # 2338229

Desired outcome: Restore my credit and stop the harassment
