Thank you for your email of 7/27/regarding the above referenced agency complaint that you received
7/25/After review, we would like to respond to your letter with the following detailed explanation
Please note that our primary method by which we secure orders is by telephone solicitationIn such cases,
our representatives take orders with a 60-day right of cancellation to a 1-year subscription to one of
our newsletters, books or online programsWe have very stringent quality control procedures regarding
our representatives making this offerThese include verifying the mailing address, asking for the month
and day of the person’s birth and asking for the person’s email address or fax so we can send written confirmation of the order within hoursThis serves to encourage contact with us if there are any
mistakes or changes that need to be made
Regarding the specifics of this situation, please note that *** ***, Facilities Supervisor, placed
an order on 8/27/for our Facility Managers Alert publicationWe were provided with birth date
information as *** as well as an email addressWithin hours of the discussion, we sent a
Confirmation letter that clearly restated the offer discussed, Including the liberal 60-day, no
questions asked, cancellation policyOur computers show that the confirmation went through without any
problemsThe birth date information is obtained, in part, to verify the conversation took placeOnce the order
was placed, the same computer system sent the newsletters and invoices over a 5-month period of timeThus goods that were ordered by *** *** were sentOur computer system records and tracks all confirmations, invoices, online programs, books, periodicals sent and cancellation requestsIt does not
show that we ever received a cancellation on this account or mail returned as “undeliverable”If we had
we would have cancelled the account immediately
With all telephone orders placed, if the ordering person does not find the information helpful, all that
needs to be done is to write CANCEL on the invoice and return it to us or advise us any other way and
the subscription will be stopped with no payment required, as is the publishing industry’s general customHowever, if neither paid nor cancelled after months, warning notices, plus an additional 30-day “wait period” the account may be turned over for collection. That is what happened in this instanceAs a courtesy we contacted the collection agency on 8/1/and they advised us that they did receive
payment in full of ($299.00) on 4/28/for the subscriptionThey marked the account “Settled
Satisfactory” and they reinstated the account so that he will get the remaining newsletters of the 1-year subscriptionOnce it expires (approximately months) there will be no further issues, invoices or
renewals sentThere will be no ramifications due to the account being turned over for collection
While researching this complaint we did find that this company has done business with us in the past and
is aware of our cancellation policyWe found numerous “risk free” subscriptions had been accepted before and were cancelled as we instructed without issue except for this oneWe initiated a request on the same day that the company name and telephone number be removed from our
computer filesThis action takes approximately 30-days to processIn business we hesitate to say the
company will never receive another mailing from us. If the company’s name is misspelled or the zip code incorrect, our computers may not recognize it and something may go outIf that should happen, please
call and we will remove that version alsoAll of our contact information is in our newsletter and contains our toll free telephone numberWe, also
have a hour/days a week voice mail system due to the large amount of calls we receive daily from our
coast-to-coast subscribersFeel free to contact the Customer Service Department if you have any questions at 1-800-220-

Thank you

I ordered the book Higher Education Law in America last year and the accompanying newsletterThis year, when the company representative phoned me, I told them that I did not want to order it again The book Higher Education Law in America came in the mail about six weeks later, followed by an invoice for the cost When I phoned the company, the representative said that the book had come to me because, while I had canceled the newsletter, I had not canceled the book--although I ordered the two together as a package, I had to cancel separately Very sloppy practice at best!

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved]
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I have spoken to *** and her response was this, she declined any kind of subscription because she was going on maternity leave and didn't see any reason to have this sitting unused for two to three months. We have checked ***'s email in box and there are no invoices or subscriptions that we can see, we also have not been able to locate any paper invoices that they also say were sent. Getting someone's birth date online is very easy and not any indication that *** actually ordered anything

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that their resolution is satisfactory to me. If I may, I think you should investigate them more in depthI would ask if they have a recording of my conversationGet a copy if they doI do not like to read; I can, I just don't care to unless I have toI do not have the authority to order a publication for $for the companyI haven't ordered a magazine in yearsI never accept "free trials" because you have to remember to call and cancel; I'm in my 50's, I was burned when I was youngerEverything about this is fishy to meI still don't know how they got my birth date, it's not something I'd give a telemarketerThey can get your birth date off face book I guessAs a matter of fact, I try not to answer the phone if I think it's a telemarketerDid you ever get one of their brochures? It's a sheet of paper with generic stuff on itI 'm sure I was throwing them away like junk mailAs a business, I get junk mailI don't open it, I just throw it awayI just happened to open one of their envelopes in February and saw the invoiceI can't tell you why I opened it, it may have had an "invoice enclosed" stamp on it(I've lost it at the moment.)
If you check the Internet on this company, a lot of people say the same thing I did, didn't order it and it's a scamTheir one page "brochure" (the one I opened) and invoice, for that matter, have no contact information; what company does that? An invoice (bill, if you will) with no phone number? Doesn't that seem strange? I go their website (I had to ***, I don't remember it on their bill), no contact information; what website doesn't have a "Contact Us" icon? I got their phone number form you, the Revdex.comI would be interested if you could actually find a viable company that paid for this service and talk to an actual person who has read it and paid for itI really feel, just my opinion mind you, they talk to someone in a company, get a birth date and send the bill hoping no one asks any questions and accounts payable just pays it without questionThat's why I'd like you to talk to a real person that had read and paid for this serviceIf the company did everything "on the up and up" then why let me out so quickly? It's $I read on the Internet, the best way to get out of it was to report it to the Revdex.com; it seems it worksI have to accept their resolution because they cancelled the subscription and closed the account without costYou, on the other hand, still have every right to investigate them furtherI'm sure I still have the invoice in the mess on my desk somewhereIf you'd like me to mail it to you, I will be more than happy at my expense.(ok, it's one page and will only cost me a stamp...lol)For the public, well more for the businesses, I ask you check into this company furtherEvery fiber in my being says it's a scamming company operating in AmericaI would expect something like this from Nigeria, not the USA.Thank you for your time in reading this little novel and your consideration of further actionRespectfully,
