Review: On October 19, 2013 I was billed $53.46 on my [redacted] by the History Book Club, an affiliate of Direct Brands, Inc, for two books I never ordered. They arrived on November 1, 2013 and I mailed them back in the original box with the invoice on November 2, 2013. According to the USPS tracking code, the books were delivered to the return center in Hanover, PA on November 5, 2013. Wanting to give the company a reasonable amount of time, I waited until December 5, 2013 before I emailed to inquire as to when I should expect to see a credit on my [redacted]. On December 6, 2013 I received an email reply to the effect that my club account had been credited in the amount of $53.46. In the first place, that is not how it is supposed to work. A payment billed on a credit/debit [redacted] or [redacted] is supposed to be credited the same way. In the second place, I checked the credit on my HBC account and found a balance of $0.00, which is what it remained a few minutes ago when I checked it the last time. I have emailed back to the company and received evasive replies, so I decided to complain to Revdex.com.Desired Settlement: I want my [redacted] credited for $53.46. After that, I want HBC and its parent company Direct Brands, Inc to delete all my account data so they cannot do this to me again.

Review: October 2013 I received a bill for a cook book I never ordered or received. I emailed customer service and asked them to cancel account because I didn't want this to happened again, I was told that account would be change so, I wouldn't have to respond to the months featured selection, which means I wouldn't receive a book unless I ordered it. Since then I have received THREE books, that I never ordered, the first two I emailed the company asking to cancel account and for a return label and today I told mail man I am refusing delivery from that company.

[redacted]

Dear [redacted]

I am responding to the inquiry your office forwarded for [redacted]

On review, our records show that [redacted]’s enrollment

order is currently in process and cannot be cancelled at this time. We are sending

[redacted] a pre-paid postage label so that she can return the shipment to

us once she receives it.

Once we receive the return shipment we will refund all

charges, cancel [redacted]’s membership and close her Club account.

We regret that [redacted] did not wish to continue her

LITERARY GUILD membership; we trust this resolves her concerns.

You may contact me at ###-###-#### with any

questions. You may also send an e-mail to [email protected].

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I find it satisfactory if I receive the shipment in a timely matter. I will wait two more weeks before taking further action as it has already been more than a months time since I placed the order.

Review: I enrolled in Doubleday two years ago, and had to fulfill a certain amount of book orders within my two years. Unfortunately, my email that was associated with my Doubleday Account was hacked, and I stopped using it, and did not receive any paper notices from Doubleday. I was sent a collections notice telling me that I owed $94.52 for the books I was contracted to buy. At that point, I attempted to go on their website to purchase the four remaining books, and my total came to $65.00, along with two free books. When I tried to pay in full for these purchases, I was sent a message saying that I was not able to pay online. I wrote to customer service, and they informed me that I was not able to pay for the books, they just wanted a check for $94.52, which is almost $30 more than their prices. I am happy to buy the books if they reinstate the account online, but paying more than face value for these items is unacceptable.

Account_Number: [redacted]Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Other (requires explanation)

I would like my account reinstated, so I may buy my books as I contractually promised to do so, and will pay the prices as published per book.

Review: We signed up with Crossing book club at the beginning of the year. account started on 1/21/13....$22.38.....received books...transaction dated 1/22/13 on our statement

next charge on 3/6/13...$43.79.....NEVER received books....transaction dated 3/7/13 on our statement....I called and was told they had already shipped and I would have to wait until I received them then refuse/return to sender....then I would get refund....this is where they told me that I would be getting emails about shipments from now on but NEGLECTED to tell me that I needed to make sure our account was set up to receive emails from them. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED BOOKS.

next charge on 3/24/13...$40.50....transaction dated 3/25/13 on our statement....Called and told them we never received email about shipment. This is when they told me that I needed to make sure my account was set up to receive emails. I immediately went into our account to fix that problem. I have received 2 emails since then about shipments. I have declined both of those. While on the phone, she told me that the books had already shipped so I would have to wait until I received them to get a refund. However, apparently the books hadnt shipped because on 3/26(this is THEIR transaction date; 3/27 is OUR transaction date) they credited us $40.50. So that transaction is -0-. She told me that for the 3/6 transaction, books were not shipped until 3/11 so I would have to wait until 4/1 to see if I received them. As of 4/1 I had NOT received them so I emailed them and told them that I wanted a refund but told them about the card being cancelled. After all the CRAP, I finally got the answer "LEGALLY we can only refund by the same card number originally used to pay for books" and we have already CREDITED that card.....then today(their transaction date is 4/2 ours is 4/4) we have a charge for $40.50 on our statement. NOT A CREDIT! A DEBIT!

As of to date we have paid the Crossings over $106.00 and only received the first 5 books that we paid $23.00

I called to cancel the subscription because I feel that it is a scam. I got the run around from [redacted] (a manager with the agent id [redacted]). I told them that I was cancelling and that I was giving them a verbal notification today that they are no longer allowed to deduct any monies for my account. [redacted] stated that a verbal would not work and order to cancel I would have to return all of the books that they have sent...keep in mind we only have the first 5 books that they sent us however according to [redacted] we have to return 9 books in order to cancel....how can I return a book we never got. [redacted] was VERY rude and NEVER let me tell my whole issue, she was much more concerned with getting my off the phone.Desired Settlement: I want the full refund of $106.00 plus $35 over draft charge that I received for them taking out another "payment" making me negitive in my account and if they want the 5 priginal books back, then they can pay the cost for the shipping. Lastly I want my "membership" canceled to this scam of a company that is suppose to be a "[redacted]" organization.

Review: On 8.08.13, I contacted children's book of the month club to find out why my account had not been credited the amount due for return shipments. I was on hold for 18 minutes before a [redacted] finally answered. Was informed that I had to wait 4-6 weeks for returns to be processed. Called again on 8.26.13 because refunds still not processed. Waited on hold for 45 minutes, then their computer hung up on me. Called right back and waited 20 minutes before hanging up. Issues not resolved. I am still owed for my returns and cannot reach customer service. I am owed 37.97 for returns from 7.10.13, and 27.98 for returns on 7.31.13.

Review: I have received 3 separate shipments of the same book 3 different times. The first one I wanted. The second one I didn't want and when I called to tell them about it, they sent me a return label and stated my account would reflect the return upon receipt. I returned the book, but my account hasn't been changed to show I don't have to pay for the book. I have once again received the same book again, only this time it has been charged to my card. I have tried to call many times to get all of this resolved, but the only thing that happens is I am out on hold for very long periods of time (often an hour or more) and then disconnected.Desired Settlement: I want to return the book, and have the funds given back to me. I also want my account to show a zero balance as I do not owe them any money.

Review: Company claims I owe payment for merchandise never received.

I have emailed them, I have spent HOUR on hold trying to telephone them.

I never received the shipment, therefore they cannot provide a proof of delivery.

I was deployed at the time they claim I received the goods.Desired Settlement: Unless you can provide proof of delivery, I want the charges reversed and to be informed this has been done.

I cannot believe you are treating a service member in this manner.

Review: I was a member of Doubleday Book Club. I paid for books that I am to receive. I contact them around October 2013. Since then I have been getting the run around. I have called this company around 30 time and spoke to just about every manager or supervisor. some of the answers that I have been given, " they have to put me in the system", they have to transfer my order to another department. Some of the customer service reps didn't even know what I was talking about. I wrote a letter to the company, and I have had no response. Every time that I called, I was told to leave my number and someone would contact me. I have not receive one phone call. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.Desired Settlement: At this point, they can keep the books. The customer service is a joke .Just refund my money

Review: On July 1st my bank account was debited $48.41 because I forgot to refuse the featured selection for the month, this happens sometimes and I never have an issue, this time when I returned the featured selections my account was somehow hacked and I have to get another debit card and closed the one that they have on file. I did not worry about it so much, because I assumed that if they could not reimburse me that they would send a check to my address. Well neither happened they just totally ignored me and did not even try to reach out to me, letting me know that they were trying to reimburse my money. I have sent numerous emails to customer service and the last one asked for a full refund to which they responded indicated that they have credited my account, this was in an email dated August 14th, to date I have still not received a credit to my account. I don't want a credit, I just want a check issued to me in the amount of $48.41.Desired Settlement: I am so discouraged that it is taking so long to resolve this dispute and want them to return my money in the form of a check and mail it to my home;

Review: I have sent the company two emails inquiring as to why they have me in collection and on my credit report. I have never or ever intend to join any book club and I want to know why it is that they have reported fraudulent activities to the credit bureaus. The report states that they reported me as of June 2013 for owing them $95.00. I tried contacting the collection agency's number that I got from the credit bureau and there is no such number or company. Today 9/30/13, I sent them a secondf email regarding this mater and the only message I get from them is this one: Thank you for contacting us.

We are continuing to implement upgrades to our system. During this

Review: I was sent books from Childrens Book of the Month club that I never ordered and I sent them back but I have never seen a refund for the two amounts on 10/30/2013 for $34.90 and 11/11/2013 $29.40.

After numberous calls I am just getting the run around. I have since cancelled my debt card that was charged. I have also sent back one another unauthorized pack of books. I did get a refund for that but still waiting on 2 more refunds. I was told I needed to pay for 2 more books before I could cancall this agreement. Thing is I never signed up in the first place and I have no idea who did under my name. I just want my money back and for these people to go away.Desired Settlement: I want my refund processed ASAP and I want my money back.

Dear **. [redacted]:

Review: I sent an email to the company in September of 2013 asking for them to cancel my account because I had met my purchase committment. I received an email back from the company and it stated that they understood my request and instead of cancelling, they changed my account type to where I no longer had to respond to monthly selections, but could still enjoy the benefits.

Well, it was fine for a few months and then all of a sudden in January of 2014, they charged my credit card for $41.46 and sent me books that I did NOT order. Luckily, I found a phone number on the invoice and someone actually answered (something I can no longer get the company to do). I told them that I wanted my money refunded immediately because technically they stole it from me because they told me I didn't have to respond to, nor would I receive monthly selections. I wanted my account cancelled!! They said that they didn't want to cancel it until the credit hit my credit card.

Well, I waited and as soon as the credit hit, they charged me for ANOTHER book that I did not order!! I returned it and they still have not credited my card back for that amount of money.

I found a number and called; sat on hold for over 15 minutes with no one answering...I just think it's very shady!Desired Settlement: Refund my credit card and CANCEL my account for fraud.

Review: I have signed up with this company and fulfilled my obligations however they are holding my bank account hostage while order says still processing. It has been over a month. Several email have been sent to this company with no response and no action. There is not a customer service number to get a live person to speak with everything is handled through the emails, which clearly do not get responded to. I want my money back, and my service cancelled without any reprecussions since it is clear I fulfilled my obligations, and they have yet to do so or provide the products or service they said they would.Desired Settlement: I want my money back and no collection notices, nothing on my credit or any of the other games this company has tried in the past.

Dear [redacted]:

I am

Upon

review, our records show that on July 8, 2014, we sent a letter, via mail,

advising [redacted] that the book she ordered, Peek Inside the Zoo, was

on back order. We offered [redacted]

the option of cancelling the order as we were unsure when we would receive it

in stock. We subsequently cancelled the

order when stock was not received.

Please

assure [redacted] and [redacted] that we have not applied any charges to the

credit/debit card on file for this order.

We only apply a charge to a card when we process an order for shipment.

Since

[redacted] is not an authorized account holder, we are unable to close this

account without [redacted]’s confirmation.

[redacted] may contact me via phone or email (per the contact

Review: Okay. This company sent me two separate coupons, in January and February, that advertised that if you bought one book, you would get one book free. Both coupons were for this (BUY 1 GET 1 FREE). They were good for four books apiece (i.e., if you bought two books on one coupon, you would get two books free, for a total of four books per coupon). I first contacted the company at the beginning of March this year to ask about the availability of the latest Jim Butcher novel in the DRESDEN FILES series, because I wanted to get this book as one of my selections on one of the coupons. It took nearly two months before I finally got someone in Customer Service to confirm for me that the book they had listed on their business website was actually the correct book despite the fact that the picture loaded on the website was for a completely different book by a completely different author. Then, after that, the coupon code, which said it could be used online, would not work, and it took basically another month before someone in Customer Service told me that they would help process that order for that specific coupon, but that I would have to authorize the charge to my card in order for the order to be completed and placed. I did was I was told. This was the second week of May. By 24 May, when no books had yet arrived, I emailed them to ask where the four books (including the latest DRESED FILES novel) were at, and, since I had, meanwhile, filled out the second coupon by hand and mailed it in for four other books, I also asked them what the hold up was in processing that order. Eventually, 7 JULY, someone contacted me and told me to call her about this, but because my grandmother was in the hospital and my dad was undergoing chemotherapy and going back and forth to the hospital, I emailed back to explain I could not tie up the phone, told her I had saved every email, and could forward any details she needed about the order and that my bank clearly showed I had been charged $27.22 for the order, which my bank processed 12 May. Another month passed. Someone else in customer service contacted me and told me they had apparently lost the coupon I mailed in USPS and that I could resend the information on the order and they would honor the coupon, but I told them I didn't want to do this until I knew what was going on with the coupon for the online order I had been charged for and yet never gotten my books for, because I didn't trust them not to charge me for the second set of four books and then not send them, too, until I'd gotten the first set of four books I'd already paid for. ANOTHER MONTH PASSED WITH NO CONTACT FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I SENT AT LEAST ONE EMAIL EVERY WEEK ASKING WHAT WAS GONIG ON. 3 September someone in Customer Service contacted me trying to claim that I had been charged for something I'd ordered LAST YEAR when I paid the $27.22 in May, despite the fact that I had the email from Customer Service on 8 May SPECIFICALLY telling me that if I went online and confirmed that charge that my order for four books using the coupon whose code wouldn't work online, despite being advertised as working online, would be completed (including the following books: Skin Game: A Novel Of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher http://www.sfbc.com/skin-game-a-novel-of-the-dresden-files.html and Mentats Of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson http://www.sfbc.com/mentats-of-dune.html and Night Broken by Patricia Briggs http://www.sfbc.com/night-broken.html and also Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris http://www.sfbc.com/midnight-crossroad.html). It's been over two weeks and Customer Service hasn't responded to my offer to FORWARD THEM THE EMAIL ABOUT THE ORDER IN QUESTION, ALONG WITH A COPY OF MY BANK STATEMENTS PROVING WHEN AND WHAT WAS PROCESSED AND CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT BY THEM, BOTH LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR. I am TIRED of this. These people have blamed lost mail, problems when a new website design, and just about everything else under the sun to try to justify the fact that they've essentially lost one order entirely and never finished processing the second order despite having already charged me for it. They went from saying the order for the first set of four books was processing to pending to apparently never placed at all, even though they darn well charged me for it in May. It's been SEVEN MONTHS NOW since I first contacted them about one of the books in this order, and in that time they have CONSISTENTLY failed to respond to emails in anything like a timely manner and have, in fact, completely ignored multiple emails from me about both orders. Frankly, I feel like I got ripped off and that these people are just ignoring me now.Desired Settlement: I darn well want an apology, for one thing, and then I want the four books I paid for, I want these people to refund what they already charged me to make up for the seven month hassle, frankly, and then I want somebody to assure that they will honor the second order for the second coupon they oh-so-conveniently "lost in the mail" and not try to charge me for those four books and then refuse to send the books!

Review: I was sent books from Mystery Guild several (7+) months ago. As per their return policy, they were returned. There were 2 orders actually. The first one was refunded to my credit card after approximately 3 months. I have attempted 10 telephone calls to this company only to be on hold for over an hour and then being hung up on or disconnected. I have sent many emails and the response is "we apologize. you have a credit with us." I reply that I do not want a credit, I want the credit put back on my credit card as promised. To this date, I have not been refunded the $59.84 from many months ago. It is getting ridiculous.Desired Settlement: I want this amount, plus 7 months interest refunded to my credit card immediately. I am paying off the card every month and accruing interest on their refund portion.

Review: In Dec. 2013 Crafters Choice had a special offer so I placed an on line order and paid it in full at the same time with [redacted]. It was for a balance of $2.84

In January 2014 they had another special offer so I place a second order with them and paid for it at the same time with [redacted] for a balance of $1.90

In May I purchased more items from them for a balance of 17.46 (paid in full by [redacted] 8 days later)

In August I started getting notices by mail, telling me that I owed $20.74. This amount included a $3 late fee and balances from the orders shown above. I contacted Crafters Choice through their web site and let them know that they were in error; that I did not owe anything, that my bills were paid on time and that I did not deserve a late fee. Meanwhile I double checked their web site page for my account and saw that my totals were correct for each order. I also checked my [redacted] account and saw that the payments were paid on the dates that I thought they were.

This month I received an email telling me that I owed them $20.74, referencing the three orders listed above. I contacted them and explained in detail, once again, how I had paid everything. We went back and forth several times, each time with a different customer service rep who had obviously not read any of the earlier correspondence. One thing that was discovered was that the first two [redacted] payments expired before Crafter Choice accepted them. So yesterday I re-paid those two balance ($2.84 and $1.90) and asked that they now give me a zero balance for my account.

Today I got another email thanking me for my payment and saying that I owed $16.05 for a totally new invoice number. I checked their account page and could not find any purchase that I ever made with that number. I suspect that they made up a new invoice to cover the balance that they want me to pay; the amount that I do not owe.

This service has been terrible in many ways. No matter how many times I try to clear up the situation, they do not listen or even check my account to get their facts. Every time I contact them it is like a brand new conversation so I have to explain over and over again the same detailed situation. No matter how great their future offers are, I plan to never do any business with them again. If you have any suggestions on additional ways I can resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Meanwhile I am completely disgusted with the service I have been getting from Crafters Choice.

Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.Desired Settlement: I would like them to clear up this situation, give me my zero balance and stop sending collection letters. An apology would be nice also but I will be satisfied if I can be done with this completely.

Review: 2 Concerns- #1 [redacted] you can cancel membership at any time. Though I completed purchases & emailed to cancel 3X now...and received email confirming they would cancel...I continue to receive emails that require I confirm or I'll receive books not order to purchase.

#2 [redacted] prompted NEW Membership Plan does NOT allow persons to continue online via their website...to just "CANCEL" OR EMAIL the company WITHOUT CLICKING AND "ACCEPT NEW MEMBERSHIP POLICY" box in order to continue. It locks you into the screen that keeps telling you how great the plan is and you can "cancel" at any time. Wish has proven impossible for me for years now.

I am VERY disturb it claims to be of Christian ethics.

I also know this is how people get taken advantage of...credit ruined...it gets rung on credit card on file & people are to busy to PAY to ship unwanted books back. This ENTIRE BUSINESS PRACTICE NEEDS TO BE REGULATED. This type of business does not help protect the community, especially elderly, from ruining finances.Desired Settlement: I want my email TOTALLY TAKEN OFF [redacted] outreach.

Also a letter of apology and explanation.

I also would like the Revdex.com to forward onto whatever entity proper...that these type of businesses clubs...should not be allowed to do ANY AUTO SHIPS if we truly want to help Americans clean up credit. I'll be writing my government reps.
