US CreditFind - Credit Repair Why are they charging me? Why is AT&T letting them charge me for bogus reasons? Ponta Vedra Beach Florida
I just noticed in my phone bill that this company is charging me $9.99 plus taxes for what I don't know. The Reason I was checking my phone bill was because I noticed my bill had increased substantially, I found that I was also being charged for some voice mail service. After tracing that charge back I found that AT&T/SBC had been charging me $13.73 since Oct. 22, 2007.
Well this complaint is about US Creditfind Inc. I am going to be contacting anyone and everyone about this scam. Also included in my complaints will be for ILD Teleservices, who are the company that is doing thier billing through the phone company. Our phone company is AT&T/SBC and they should not let just anyone post charges to other peoples phone bills.
I am very interest in filing a lawsuit against all three of these companies.

Samething happened to me, never even heard of them, let alone sign up for their service.
I found their address at the B.B.B. and filed a complaint, I also filed a complaint with the California Attorney Genreal's office.
Maybe if enough people would raise some noise, the powers that be would do something about these crammers

And AT&T is not the only place you need to watch
Credit card companies do it too
Also be careful when shopping on the internet - do not do surveys
the Today show has a video about 3rd party charges for membership programs - when you shop on the internet and then do a survey not necessarily relating to your purchase you get signed up for some program without your knowledge and they use the credit card info you provided for your purchase to charge you a montly fee.
The local news did a feature on the AT&T phone bill 3rd party charges. No one ever knows how they get signed up for them - they just start seeing extra charges on their phone bills
Credit Cards
I recently discovered 2 bogus charges on my HSBC Mastercard statement, when I called the organizations to question the charges they informed me that we deposited a check from HSBC and that was what enrolled us in the programs.
We never cash those checks - they get shredded immediately
Basically what is happening is when these membership programs cannot get voluntary sign ups they use their affiliations with the other organizations and sign you up themselves. You will never receive any information about these programs even though they are required to send them. If you agreed to the program you get the information packets - if they do it themselves they do not send it in hopes of getting more money for a longer period of time.
If you are not paying attention to your statements, they can go on for months.
They will always claim it was you who initiated it, but can rarely prove it.
Report it to the FTC
