I talked to my bank and they allowed me to put a "caution" on the amounts and names being deducted from my checking account. There wasn't any charge for this. I was unable to get a refund for past drafts, but current one were returned to sender. Re: A-1 Leasing amount, I did receive a collection company letter and call trying to collect for that amount which was originally $2300 and has now turned into $3,607.25. I am in process of turning it over to the State Attorney's Office and Attorney General. I was so in hopes that this business would work, as I really need a business for income. But now I am on a limited income, my husband terminally ill and can't work and now this serious problem. I am trying to find the money to pay the doctor's bill for the amount of pocket amount of $2,100. We have had excellent credit until this point in time. ???? Be interested if you learn any ways to help me. THANKS!

Afer filing my rip-off report, I have searched different ways of getting my money back. At first, I have contacted companies in order to stop the monthly payments from E-Commerce and avoid penalty payments for not having any activity on my account. After searching multiple opportunities, I contacted my credit card and disputed the charges placed by Web Ad Systems and E-commerce. Although the first charge appeared in early October and I disputed the charges late February, CITIBANK Master Card was able to help me and credited the full amount! However, the charges that appeared on my checking account I do not know how to dispute, which is a small penalty (about $200) compared to overall debt I was in before getting refunded. There is one problem though. I signed an agreement with A-1 Leasing, LLC, and according to lease agreement, I have to pay $1500 at once or $66.83 for next 36 months which are charged from my checking account automatically. I didn't know how to avoid these payments and just paid $25 to stop the payments. Sure enough three days ago I got a letter saying tha my payment is passed due and they will take an action agains me. A-1 Leasing (or Bond Corp) is a company that financed purchasing some sort of software. Because I don't have any physical item from them, I don't know how to settle this matter. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
