Lied about magazine service after pressure to take subscriptions
I've been going through this for five years. I was 19 when they first got me and I didn't know better and let them talk me into stuff. I don't know any subscriptions that last past 5 years and now they want to do this all over again with me. I'm a lot smarter now and I'm gonna try and fight this. I recommend filing a complaint with the FTC and if need be, going directly to the publishers. That's my next stop.

Happened to me, same company. Everything about the company address & phone is correct. President is Vincent S Haydock out of Ft Myers FL. Also involved with Mo Management out of FL. File complaints with Texas Attorney General. FTC, BBB, And US post office under telemarketing and mail fraud. Keep all correspondence. Continue to Cancel, stop, end this subscription. Make sure to file complaints. Most lawyers wont mess with this, amount too small. Plenty big to me!. Looking into small claims suit. Not sure how to proceed on that.
Has anybody been contacted by a debt collector involving this company, or any one of their many names, relating to magazine subscriptions? Has anyone had their credit ruined by refusing to Pay?
Please tell us what you did to get these bums off our backs.
Other names involved in the same scam: Island periodicals, Western Renewal Service, Treasure Coast, Preferred Renewal Service

Okay guys, I have finally beat these bastards. I wanted to wait for proof before I posted anything. When they tell you that you can't cancel, they are lying. I FINALLY was able to cancel everything on Monday, January 30, 2011. I recommend going through all the publishers first and canceling (even if they don't have you on record) and then calling this number: 1-800-589-7998. Make sure you're speaking to the customer service people and NOT the sales department. There IS a difference. I got my money back as well (I only wish I did this five years ago). Make sure when you cancel, you get it in writing, just to be on the safe side. There is a way out! I am posting this so everyone else can see. I hope this reaches you all and can get out of this mess too!

Scam
I too have been getting calls from this company and they have information on me as well. However, I tried cancelling this morning when they called me and told me it was impossible as they had put a down payment on the magazines. I told them, as a College student I do not have that kind of money and they lowered my payment and suggested that I call back in 3-4 months and try cancelling then by paying some money. I don't know what else to do.

Somehow I got a subscription with this crappy service, they are telling me I owe $49.90 every month for 36 months. They send me magazines including: ESPN, GQ, Maxim, Mens Fitness, and a few others. I DID NOT ask for any of these magazines, let alone, I don't even read any of these magazines!
I just got a letter in the mail saying my account is past due, has the past due and current amount of $49.90, the total amount due of $114.80, and a payoff amount of $1, 397.20. HOLY CRAP!!! I OWE HOW MUCH??!!! I had to cancel my bank account so I could get away from this scam! Every time I talk to someone, they say I cannot cancel because I am "locked in" for 36 months! On the bottom of the letter it says "Sincerely, Account Manager". There is no name, so I don't even know who I can talk to so I can cancel this crap! There is no website for me to manage my account, and EVERY legitimate company has a website and lets me manage my account!

Speaking of Walmart, I agreed to do a survey to win points and get a $1, 000.00 gift certificate from Walmart. I did everything necessary including talking to salespersons who actually called my home and spoke to me. They were from various companies affiliated with the coupons from the surveys that I took. My phone rang at all times of the day and night. I never did get the $1, 000.00 gift certificate. So beware and be a little smarter than I was. You really do get nothing for nothing.

I find it driving me mad, trying to deal with recordings in place of real live people. I have been trying for 2 weeks to cancel my insurance policies with a very well known insurance company. The very reason I cancelled was not getting to speak to a live person in the first place.

Hi there!
This unfortunately happened to my boyfriend as well. They told him he had signed up for some time of promotional subscription years ago (they had his old address etc). They told him the promotional period had been over and they had been sending the magazines to his old address and he was locked in contract and had to pay. He argued he did not sign up for this and they threatened him with legal action if he did not give his information. He was scammed into it. As soon as he told me about it I began research. I advised him to cancel his current card # with his bank and advise them of what happened. ***NEXT IS THE IMPORTANT PART... THIS WILL GET YOU OUT OF THIS SCAM OF A CONTRACT and get their scaming ways noted! PLEASE file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau! They will take the matter into their hands and give the company 30 days to respond. We did this and the company relinquished ALL charges and cancelled the account. I refused to attempt to even talk to the company themselves for fear they would use recordings to further manipulate this so called contract we had. Please file with the BBB. You can also file with your State attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission to get the word out. It doesnt take long and hopefully with enough people doing so it will shut crappy people like this down!!!

I had the same problem with Coastal Readers. They ran an ad on facebook saying you could take a survey on your political views and then the results would be published on a national news format. Next thing I knew I was signing up to get magazines and had given them a credit card number. I recently got a bill in the mail for $1797.00 to be paid monthly for 30 months and that they planned to bill my card. Long story short, I wound up calling my credit card company and getting a new card with new account number. I am researching these crooks and if I hear from them again I will be better prepared. I checked with the Better Business Bureau and they have had 46 complaints filed against them. I don't think they want to sue anyone in court.
