RN Superpass Credit Card Charge

Checked credit card for charges and had one for Real Networks, Inc. for 14.99 for something called SuperPass. After checking into it I found that when I had canceled my free trial that I had tried they only canceled the Rhapsody part and not all of the free trial/s.
When you sign up for free trial for Rhapsody they also sign you up for this SuperPass, when you cancel the trial for Rhapsody you need to also make sure you cancel this superpass. They will try and not give you a refund, Don't let them get you scam if it is a scam. Beware of these free trial gimmicks!

RN Superpass Trying to cancel

I live in the UK and I have a Direct Debit being paid by my bank card every month for Approximately £9.00. I have absolutely no knowledge of ever dealing with RN Superpass or what service this payment relates to. The problem I have is canceling these payments because my bank needs the company details in order to send them a form to cancel the payments.

To the best of my knowledge I have not purchased any services off the internet other than actual on-line shopping for goods. Is there anything you can do to assist me in this matter?

Your assistance would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Julie Robertson.

Hi all, I have recently sent an email to Real for a FULL REFUND of $103 (8 MONTHS of BILLING Without MY APPROVAL!).
Please see copy of email below which includes some of the CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT which Real has clearly NEGLECTLY thus they're FRAUDULENT AND MUST BE STOPPED so PLEASE read my proposition (about compiling a dossier of ALL of our complaints) at the bottom of this letter. Feedback much welcomed!
Thanks in advance.

Email written and sent on 24th October 2008:
Hi,
I'm very sorry to say this matter is not 'SOLVED' until you justifiably refund the payments that came out of my partner's Credit card account WITHOUT PERMISSION. Since you have access to our account and previous records you may well note that we have not used any Realplayer software and that our account has been 100% INACTIVE throughout the 8 month period in which we were falsely charged! We are absolutely embarrassed by your response and so-called 'customer service skills' - you can see that these charges have been incorrectly made and that a very unfortunate mistake has occurred as a result. Yet, you continue to shy away from rectifying the situation and, moreover, NEGLECT the justifiable wishes of your 'customer's'! Disgraceful behaviour I'm afraid; shame on you and shame on your company for failing to carry out your job in a proper, just and moral manner!
Once again, we are requesting A FULL REFUND OF INCORRECT CHARGES incurred over the 8-month period, 03/10/2008 - 10/11/2008.
Please allow me to remind you and your company about THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT 2003 FOR INTERNET SALES CONTRACT REGULATIONS (You can look this up yourself here: (http://www.gov.ns.ca/JUST/REGULATIONS/regs/cpintrnt.htm) which STATES the following (I'm SURE you and YOUR COMPANY already know this extremely well but PLEASE bare with me for a MINUTE):

INTERNET SALES CONTRACT REGULATIONS:
made under Section 34 of the
Consumer Protection Act
R.S.N.S. 1989, c. 92
O.I.C. 2002-327 (June 28, 2002, effective December 19, 2003), N.S. Reg. 91/2002Information considered disclosed

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION:
3 For the purposes of Section 21X of the Act, a supplier shall disclose the following information to a consumer before entering into an internet sales contract with the consumer:

(e) AN ITEMIZED LIST of the price of the goods or services being SOLD TO THE CUSTOMER and ANY ASSOCIATED COSTS payable by the consumer, including taxes and shipping charges;

(f) A DESCRIPTION OF ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE that may apply to the contract, such as customs duties and brokerage fees, the amount of which cannot reasonably be determined by the supplier;

(g) the total amount of the contract, or, where the goods or services are being purchased over an indefinite period, the amount of the periodic payments under the contract;

(l) the supplier’s cancellation, return, exchange and refund policies, if any; and

(m) any other restrictions, limitations or conditions of purchase that may apply.

INFORMATION CONSIDERED DISCLOSED:
4 A supplier is considered to have disclosed to a consumer the information required to be disclosed in Section 3 if

(a) the information is prominently displayed in a CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIBLE manner; and

(b) the consumer is able to RETAIN or PRINT the information.

Oh and this REGULATION is a BIG ONE - CLOSELY RELATED TO YOUR COMPANY SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION:

CONTENT AND DELIVERY OF INTERNET SALES CONTRACT:
5 (2) A copy of an internet sales contract provided by a supplier pursuant to Section 21Z of the Act shall be:

(a) SENT BY E-MAIL to the E-MAIL ADDRESS provided by the CONSUMER (That's me & my partner in this case - though we didn't know anything about it?!) to the SUPPLIER (That's YOUR COMPANY) for the provision of INFORMATION related to the CONTRACT;

(b) sent by facsimile to the facsimile number provided by the consumer to the supplier for the provision of information related to the contract;

(c) mailed or delivered to an address provided by the consumer to the supplier for the provision of information related to the contract

Unfortunately, RealPlayer (SuperPass) have OVERLOOKED ALL OF THESE CRUCIAL CUSTOMER PROTECTION REGULATIONS and thus it's no big surprise when I tell you that I am currently one 'customer' (?) out of several THOUSAND/hundred thousands that are experiencing SIMILAR ISSUES with your services on the internet! The biggest issue I and, as stated, lots and lots and lots of other internet browsers are having is YOUR CLEAR LACK OF PROVIDED INFORMATION ABOUT FUTURE SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS (Regulations 4(a and b)) and YOUR LACK OF E-MAILS TO CONFIRM THE SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS (Regulations 5(a, b and even c))!
Once again, we are requesting A FULL REFUND OF INCORRECT AND CHARGES incurred over the 8-month period, 03/10/2008 - 10/11/2008.
I have now spent well OVER 2 HOURS of my precious time dealing with a situation that should NEVER have materialised in the first place; needless to say I am losing the last little ounce of patience that I may or may not now possess. I am a very ethical person and believe in what's just, fair, right - (call it what you please) thus I am requesting that your company now follows suit by returning the unethical 'mistaken' charges, taken from our credit card, IMMEDIATELY IN FULL ($103.92USD). In my last email, the word 'fraudulent' was not directed at a third party credit card scam, no Veeresh, it was directed towards your company and its clear neglect of The Consumers Protection Act!
Should you choose to REFUSE the rightful REFUND or even DELAY this matter further by choosing NOT TO REPLY (I'm sure your company is BIG & EXPERIENCED enough to avoid the latter) I will proceed in the following way:

FIRSTLY, my partner and I will compile a dossier of our (and several thousands of other violated consumers) more-than-justified allegations. SECONDLY, we will put these in an affidavit format complete with the specific statutory violations your company has made and then THIRDLY, hand your government this entire case on a (big dinner) plate in order for them to deal with this gross misconduct of a well established company.
We may also decide to chuck in desert, which would be inevitably be detrimental to your company (again), by putting the allegations together as a Case Prosecution Summary (the way agents present cases to the US Attorney's Office) and publish it on the Net for all to see EXACTLY how your company operates. Don't worry about the lack of exposure this will receive as I'm VERY experienced with Google's PPC Adwords!
Last note, I fully advocate the Law of reciprocity which suggests the universe gives back what you give out so in our case we're asking that you rightfully give return (GIVE BACK) our 'subscription payments' that we're wrongfully taken from our credit card (GIVEN OUT).

Thanks,
JCallinan

PS: Please accept my invitation for you and your company to do the RIGHT thing here or I will make an example of this wrong doing so that others need not go through this disgraceful ordeal!

RN Superpass fraudulent charges

I began getting charges of 14.99 a month for RN superpass. Like others since I am an RN wondered if I purchased anything but had not. I began disputing this on my credit card and AMEX has been fighting this battle. This is getting ridiculous though. Every month I am going through the same thing.

I have found a way to get the account canceled. Do not go through the 1-800n numbers they are a pain in the ###. You have to go right to the source and call Head Office in Seattle Wash. 1-206 number and get customer service. They do not reimberse but will cancel your account in 2 seconds.

RN Superpass Unauthorized charges!

Last month I got charged 14.99 for RN superpass. I just blew it off because I am a RN and I thought it was a subscription for a RN website. Then I got charged again this month and started looking into it. I found this website which helped me find out what the charge really was for. Now I have to investigate and try to get the charges reversed or at least canceled.

After checking my bank account I found out that RN SUPERPASS had charged my account $14.99 for a service I didn't request. I still don't even know what type of service(s) they offer and would certainly not authorize any monthly withdrawals from bank without knowing what they are for. When I contacted them via phone, they did not have a record of my name, address, phone number, or account number. They demanded that I give them the credit card number that I made my purchase with but because I had not made a purchase, and I already thought it was a scam, I would not give them any numbers. I was told that even though they could not find my "account information", I would still be charged $14.99 a month. In the meantime, I was charged a $35.00 overdraft fee at my bank.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This company(?) I've never heard of (RN Superpass) has somehow gotten a hold of my email and credit card number and charged me $14.99 for supposedly watching "Big Brother" online. First of all, I've never seen this show and I hate "reality TV". Second, I have NEVER charged ANYTHING on this card! This card only exists because it's the only way I can receive unemployment benefits and it has only been used to withdraw money, AND it has only been used at the bank that issued it! Calling RN Superpass was a complete waste of time since his accent conveniently got thicker with every question I asked! How do I get my money back from these thieves?!

While checking my credit card online I find a $14.99 charge on my account that I didn't recognize, after locating them on the web I attempted to cancel the account & was directed to call a toll free number, which I did & after 15 minutes of being on hold & speaking with someone I had difficulty understanding, I think I susscessfully closed the account, however, the charges still remained.

Several months ago I spoke with one of the company's customer representative requesting to discontinue charges to my account for their services because I was not using it. So far the company continues to charge my account, I do not want to close my checking account due to this company neglecting to honor my request however I need the company to refund all the payment charged to my account since July 2007.

I have been getting debited £11.99 for RN Superpass for over 2 years now for something that I never ordered. It comes off a debit card that is no longer valid for that account. What can I do to recover these debits?
