Complaint Review: Great Expectations Dating Services for Singles

I was reluctant to join, but after meeting with a consultant/agent named Sherrie - I think - I was impressed. She assured me that there were so many available, single, professional men who were members already. Soon after signing the contract and becoming a member, I became extremely stressed and depressed due to my job. I was not able to make the intial photo shoots and shortly thereafter my account was turned over to a collection agency. Even though I never stopped my monthly fees, I had somehow become deliquent for something.

I contacted the collection agency to inquire about my account. I was told that it was sent to them because they receive payments for the agency. I guess that I should have made a bigger deal about being in collection then, but at that time I just wasn't up for the fight. Anyway, later on I remembered that Sherrie told me that if I were to become married during the contract period that the contract would be "null and void". Of course that made sense because the service does not supposedly cater to any one married or gay. Recently, I contacted the office in Atlanta, to ask about this provision. The manager rudely told me that first of all financing is provided as a courtesy for those who cannot afford to pay all of the fees up front.

Secondly, it does not matter if I got married (I got married just recently) or used the service for one day, I am still entitled to pay. Excuse me, but what am I paying for if I can no longer use the service?
