I was offered a FREE X-Box with the subscription to Family Readers Club. I was told this account could be cancelled at any time. I have NEVER received the free game system promised or any magazines, but my bank account has been debited everymonth, regardless to funds availability. I have contacted Family Readers Club by phone numberous times to cancel the subscription, and initally was told that this had been done. Another charge went thru my account and I called back only to be told it was "too late" to cancel and that I would have to pay a minimum of $100+ dollars to stop service or pay the total balance of the magazines at around $700+. This company is obviously a scam to de-fraud people out of there money. I will be closing my bank account and writing to the Better Business Bureau and state of New York as well.
Family Readers Club, is a joke. They drag you into getting good magazines, but you get very little choice. You fallow their choice not yours.
I will never get into anything like this (I hope) again!
I think that they need to change their name to Rip Off Club. Because that is what this is.
I'm currently researching all of these complaints because I've been dealing with family readers club and their charges for the past two years. They are now threatening to take me to court for not paying for something I didn't ask for. They also tried to play back some doctored tape of me "agreeing" to extra charges that I specifically told them I did not want several times to, at least, three different individuals. What you are talking about may just be the action we all need to invest in because these people need to be stopped.
I have been billed without singing up for any magazine subscriptions, this no humanbeing man must of trucked my credit card info when I made purchases online
I was contacted several times by a collection agency named Umbrella Recovery Team stating that one of their client is Family Readers Club. They are saying that I verbally agreed to pay $49.95 month for 24 months for 60 months of magazines. This is not true. I have not received or either ordered the magazines they are talking about. I only ordered one magazine Soap Opera Digest for 52 weeks for $27.00, which I received and the subscription ended. I have been having trouble with this company and several other companies since April 2011 over the same magazines. This is nothing but a SCAM. The BBB tells me that Family Readers Club will not return their calls or either they are out of business. I am not going to pay a dime. They have threatened me saying this is being turned over to the credit bureaus to ruin my credit. This does not scare me. What goes around comes around is what I say. I am not falling for this SCAM. Go get a real job and therefore you won't have to SCAM innocent people out of their money. If this so call collection agency works for them, then they are part of the scam too.
