My issues with Active Periodicals began earlier this year. I was told all about the Publisher's Sweepstakes Clearinghouse and yadda yadda. So I said sure, send me a few magazines to read, enter my name in a pool and off I go. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, I haven't received one single, solitary magazine. I've called several times to verify my address with the company and their solution was that "someone must be stealing them". Second, I was told that I would be charged $54.99 for 6 months, which would double my monthly subscription, but in the end, I would be done with payments in 6 months. Okay, fair enough. NOT!!! I received a bill today saying that I now owe this company $882.94....FOR WHAT?!?!?!?! I haven't received a magazine yet, the $54.99/ month comes no where near $882.94, so apparently they just pull these figures out of thin air. I will be securing legal council from here on out and hopefully the new name of Active Periodicals will be Erika's Really Nice Magazine Business!!
Or maybe you will settle for InActive Periodicals?
