On 3/20/02, I contacted Girls Gone Wild's Customer Service Department, @ 323-965-8710, @ 1855 EST, to cancel my collection. I spoke to representatives Tracy, then Marissa to cancel the series. Afterwards, they sent me GGW 5, 6, & 7 as three XXX videos, that I immediately returned in the mail, insured.

One tape 'still arrives' monthly, all unopened & refused. To date, I'm still getting credit card billings. But now, their customer service line is just a recording! What a bummer!

An Imperfect Resolution but Still Fighting!

After I desperately managed to quit their monthly program, I ordered one tape for $9.99 only to discover, reluctantly, I was placed back into their monthly program, without my knowledge or permission!



I placed a telephone call to their customer service office, at 323-965-8710, taking approximately ten minutes for one of their representatives to answer. I was forwarded to the office manager, Marissa, then after ten more minutes unanswered, I hung-up!



I refused the three videos arriving via the post, then informed my credit card company to stop all further payments. To date, I have only two of the three refused videos credited to my account, thus, I still strongly desire the one final $24.98 refund! All packages routes are scanned carefully into the post office's computer system then hand scanned 'immediately' upon delivery, so, there's no reason for a missing, refused package being lost in the mail.



The U.S. Post Office Inspector General's Office in Chicago, informed me they don't handle refunds and most Bureau of Consmer Protection agencies just 'mediate' grievances. Needless-to-say, I am highly irate at my inability to receive a quick and satisfactory solution to my problem!
