Bidz.com - Bill Me Later - Garry Itkin - Lawrence Kong ripoff billed for merchandise I di not receive-refused to refund bill-me-later keeps adding interest & late charges! Culver City California
I DID NOT RECEIVE the items I ordered.
I did not receive any notice that the items had even been shipped.
A month later I received a bill from Bill Me Later - I contacted them because I did not receive the merchandise, and this company fraudulently billed me for something I did not receive.
Eventually - A "partial" refund was issued.
But Bill-Me-Later keeps adding late fees and interest charges to the $20!! My last bill from them was for $84.27!!
For something I never received!!!
Can they get away with this?
Neither company has been any help and both refuse to accept responsibility for this issue - each passing me off to the other!
This is FRAUD that I was charged $20.65 - and now being billed over $80!! for something I DID NOT RECEIVE!!!! which is going to end up on my credit report - because I have refused to pay the Bill-Me-Later bill!!
Stay away from BIDZ.com - the merchandise is crap (not even close to the value they claim), their customer service is not existent and they have conspired with BILL-ME-LATER to rip you off!

Ive read several stories about consumers being charged inflated interest fees some exceeding an APR of more than 100 percent. These charges are unfair and illegal according to Californias consumer protection laws. I work with a law firm investigating Bill Me Later for illegal billing practices and they want to hear from California residents taken by this scheme who may be interested in participating in a case. Share your story at (((Redacted)))
Good Luck!
