Reader's Digest / Trusted Media Brands review: Subscription problem! 20

Copies of Reader's Digest are being delivered to my home. I did not order these copies. I have not ordered them and will not pay for them. This apparently a practice of this corporation. If these copies keep coming, I will be forced to make this a public issue.

We renewed our subscription to the Reader's Digest thru the Family Reading Program (Marysville Middle School, Marysville, WA) recently. In the last week we received duplicate copies of the Dec. 07 and Jan.08 issues, but the name is misspelled (Robert Lerhoff instead of Robert Leerhoff) which is probably why the renewal was not properly credited. The coding above my name is: #RDA0731542874/7# 22781AB1 NOV09 My mailing address is: 6073 E CLINTON AVE FRESNO CA [protected] Please correct the renewal to the proper name. Thank you.

I have the same problem, receiving two copies of the magazine, the second one with a subscription bill. I already renewed the first subscription in Sept. 2,2007 and don't need a duplicate.
I am sending the book back, unopened, AGAIN--, and expect this to be cleared up.

Thankyou,

On 03-17-08 I received a bill for 12 issues of readers digest that my wife or I never ordered. I wrote letters with copies of the bill to Readers digest and readers digest billing also a copy to Orgon State Attorney General Fraud division. I stated in the letter that I want a reply from readers digest That there is no bill or order. Reference No. M64731.

I have always subscribed to the magazine and ordered gift subscriptions through Reader's Digest.
However, for the last year I keep getting a bill from a company called "Readers Publication services". they claim that I ordered a two year subscription from them and made one payment of $24.76 and still owe them $24.76. I have written them letters, I have sent copies of the statements to the Virginia state att. general, I have sent letters to the BBB in Stephens City, Va. I have had no responses from them. Today I received a bill saying "your account is seriously delinquent...we have sent numerous requests...etc...this matter may be refered to a collection agency". I do not like to be threatened! I will attemt to contact the St. Att. Gen. office --again. I checked with Readers digest and my account is in good standing and they do not reach subscribers through " Readers Publication Services". So make sure you do not use this service to order or reorder anything!

I have exactly the same issue ! I did not request to renew my subscription and now I have received a serious overdue bill. I am trying to reach them to correct this issue and there is no phone number listed. I have always held Reader's Digest in the highest regard and this incident has made me be wary of them! I am still trying to reach their customer service.

Some time ago, I renewed my subscription and I have called several times to tell you so. I am STILL GETTING RENEWAL NOTICES. My sub is still good until July '09. Also, I have NEVER received a gift from you. Please sto harassisng me.

I can not find anywhere when our subscription to Readers Digest expires and are you able to provide this information

Thank you.
Mrs. Glenn Shean

I have been receiving two subsripttions for a number of months, as my husband has vascular dementia and i was so busy i didn't realize until today when i picked up the mail and i opened both of them at the same time. I would appreciateyou sending me an acknowledge ment of how I can cancel one of them I need to be responsible for one of them but which one and how much am i going to have to pay. thank you for your time. a phone number would be great to call and straigten it out as well Alberts Maslen act # is [protected] and mine is Patricia Maslen act # [protected] Thank you for your help in advance i usually check my email everyday.

I sent my payment dated 8 l8 08, which was cashed, I have not recieved the magazine as yet. What is th problem.

I was under the impression, and I guess either didn't read the fine print or didn't see it, that when I ordered five free gift subscriptions that all I had to pay was $17.97 and of course I do not have the paper I need to check on that point! I keep getting bills that say I owe Reader's Digest another $15.98!:( You can be assured that I will never order this magazine again because it seems that there is a scam in here and the magazine is not even worth what they ask for it anymore. It used to be but they have cut down so much and all it seems to be are the advertisements and not many articles. Sorry Reader's Digest you have lost a customer for good.

I AGREE THAT THE MARKETING OF READER'S DIGEST IS LIKE THAT ONLY. NOW RECENTLY I HAVE MADE A GIFT SUBSCRIPTION FOR MY DAUGHTER AND IT IS NEARLY A MONTH AND THE DIGEST OFFICIALS INFORM THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE AMOUNT FROM THE POST OFFICE AND THE COPIES ARE NOT SENT TO MY DAUGHTER TILL DATE. DIGEST IS THROWING THE BLAME ON THE POST OFFICE WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT IS EASY TO THROW THE BLAME ON ANY PUBLIC SECTIOR FOR MANY IN OUR COUNTRY. BUT IT IS A FACT THAT PRIVATE SECTOR LIKE DIGEST ARE ALSO WORSE THAN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. IT IS BETTER THAT THESE PERSONS FIRST SET RIGHT THEIR SYSTEM BEFORE BLAMING SOME BODY.

Reader's Digest sends me a bill every month for a subscription I've already paid. This has been going on for at least ten years now. I finally got in touch with a customer service rep about this last year. (They do exist. You just have to look really, really, really hard!) I asked her why they continue to bill me even though I've paid a year in advance. She said they just always send a bill. It will add to your subscription each time you pay it. I asked her how I would know when my subscription runs out and I really do need to pay it. She said to wait for a bill marked "Account Notice" in red. That's rediculous. I'm not paying another bill from them, even if it's marked "Account Notice". It's so thoughtful of RD to make me wait for basically a past-due notice. Lovely to show off in the mail room at my condos. I'm done.

I told my parents about this the other day. My mom told me she had been paying it every few months for years without noticing. She finally questioned the expense when looking at her check register one day. She called RD and found that her subscription was paid up for a future 16 YEARS! She had also made the decision to cancel her subscription. But they will never get thier money back. Can that subscription be placed in a will? My parents were long time customers of thier books and magazines. Since the late 50's. So 50+ years of trust is gone. Because of a stupid, slimy policy.

I used to trust Reader's Digest. But now the best advice I can give is: Beware.

Can you say scam?!

Sir, until now i have not receive any communication from you to my order, about computer which i have already paid the advance 2oo.oo pesos with money order - j 055dd27962 plus my registered mail 2457. thank you dominador dy alan marketing naga city

I received a book I did not order. No instructions on how to reurn it. Cant seem to make them stop. Get one every month. I tried calling but left on hold for over 20 minutes.

Keep receiving books and billing for books I did not order. Tried 'return to sender' but the post office would not accept because there was 'no guaranteed postage return' on the envelope. Different date over the last 3 months.

received this book in the mail with a bill.

I did not order this book and will not pay the bill

I the y want it returned, I need a prepaid return label

Instead of renewing and extending my subscription, you created a second subscription of we get two copies each month.

1. Patty Null number RDAO869208975/5# OCT23

2. MRS ROBERT NULL number RDAO342224375/6# FEB25

Cancel one of these and add any refund to the effective date of the other.

Was subscribed to FAMILY Handyman MAGAZINE, and now they a billing me for some kind of book that i never ordered or received. Very upset, because i send bill back every month and tell them I never ordered it.

I keep receiving RD Books and don't recall ordering.

I have tried to cancel to no avail.

I keep getting bills (and paying), but not anymore.

Please stop sending and billing.
