BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Most complainants allege the company places unauthorized monthly charges to their credit cards for a long distance calling plan. Most complainants purchased another product via the Internet or a television offer, but were not aware this company would also charge their credit card. Some consumers receive a packet of information sent via third class mail informing them of the charge and indicating they must call a toll free number to cancel. If they do not cancel, their card will be charged.

The company responds to most complaints by cancelling accounts and issuing full refunds. The company further explains that the customer agreed to their services when purchasing another product and sometimes referring the customer to the company where they made the other purchase.

Comments and Analysis

This company uses a questionable marketing method known as negative option cancellation. With this method, products and services are sent to consumers unsolicited, and unauthorized charges appear on credit cards. Usually, materials sent with the product or service will allow a specified time period for cancellation and return without penalty or obligation. However, many overlook this advisory, and are unaware of the charge until their next monthly credit card statement. In some cases, consumers find they are unable to contact the company to arrange returns or ask for credit. Most credit card issuers will allow the cardholder 60 days to dispute an unauthorized or inaccurate charge. Review your monthly statement carefully. If you discover a charge which is unfamiliar, investigate and dispute the amount with your credit card issuer as soon as possible to protect yourself from making unwanted purchases.
