Complaint Review: 716 Services / Allen P. McCarty ESQ. Attorney - Buffalo New York

I was also a victim of one of these "great" magazine offers. I tried to cancel my order over the phone (within the same hour), but I was told that I could not cancel. I was receiving a minimum of 5 phone calls from an "unknown caller" on my cell phone. The harrassing calls and threats from the company became a total nightmare. It makes me afraid to answer calls from numbers that I am not familiar with. As of today, I am happy to report that I am finally rid of the company that scammed me. This is what I did: The mistake that we both made was that we called the company to cancel. This never works. After a lot of research I have learned that in order to cancel something, it is best to send the request to cancel in writing and to do it as certified mail. The letter must be postmarked within the allowed time period. Most states have a law that allows a 72 hour cancellation period. Check your state's regulations. Also, as you probably have already figured out, never sign something that you have not read. What you need to do is gather your facts and file a complaint with your state Attorney General. Also, if you have a bill with the company's information, you can look them up on the BBB website to see if they are a member of the Better Business Bureau. File a complaint with them as well. Only use the facts when you write them. When I was going through this, I also submitted a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision. I later learned that the Attorney general also submitted my complaint to them so they received the complaint twice. I received a reply just today explaining that my account was in the process of being canceled and that any future billing statements may be disregarded. I have this in the form of a letter and an email, so if they try to collect from me again, I have proof that they agreed to cancel. My nightmare is finally over! Finally, this "attorney" that is trying to call you is not real. Large companies generally just turn you over to a collection agency and do not want to deal with the time or the legal fees associated with hiring a lawyer and going to court for one customer. Can you imagine how many people are probably going through this same situation. They could not afford to take every single customer that has not paid their bill to court. That is completely ridiculous. Good luck and I hope I am able to help you in some way.
