Complaint Review: National Magazine Exchange - Clearwater Florida

i worked in collections and if they are such a good company why don't they use there real name which is Special Data Processing they are doing illeagal things like giving 4 year sub. and in 2 years renewing it for another 4 years again

Love your astute observation Carlos: "First, a company in business since 1984 stays in business by practicing professional, ethical, and thorough procedures." Just like Enron, founded about the same time!!

Carlos, You are full of it, seriously What is ethicla about sending a junk mail postcard with nothing on it to identify who sent it? Just a "Dear, so and so, We've been trying to get a hold of you, this is urgent, please call us at bla bla blah blah" message on thos little postcards your company sends out. What is ethical about that?

Hello Carlos. It's good to see that N.M.E. uses only professional and ethical procedures as you state. Those are the kind of companies I like to do business with. Because of N.M.E's ethics,I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next junkmail notification in my mailbox from you guys. Since you work there and have the inside info,I would like your professional honest opinion on the following. Some claim that your company's income is derived in part by taking advantage of the young and gullible,the greedy types,the confused elderly,people who have trouble saying no being being bombarded by sales pitches,lower I.Q. types of people,and so forth. Yes Carlos,a good part of our society is made up of these types of people.What's your take on that,out of curiosity? Also,two quick questions with your insider know how. Why was your company banned from doing business in the State of Oregon? Why can't your company send out thier notifications to the consumer via the U.S. Postal System any more? Thank you.

Apparently, one thing not taught at FMU was manners; otherwise, Marc would've used better judgement before labeling HIS associates "ex-junkies." First, a company in business since 1984 stays in business by practicing professional, ethical, and thorough procedures. The only opinions of business procedures that matter is that of the legal system and God. Every customer has every opportunity to decline, back out, AND cancel. Every company from McDonald's to Gucci has dissatisfied customers, and the most common cause is the lack of listening on the cusotmer's part. This is why N.M.E. repeats billing procedures frequently and certainly records the agreement of EVERY sale on audio. Secondly, name one company that provides you with 10 different magazines, the ability to change all of them as often as you wish, a watch, an additional gift, and $40.00 in gasoline for less than $68.00 per year? Name one, and I'm sure we'll see their name on a consumer website just like this; it is the nature of capitalism - the very thing that drives our great U.S. of A. Finally, good advice for ALL consumers: 1. Listen, 2. Be patient, 3. Think, 4. Say, "No." It is your right, but please don't bash an organization for your lack of responsiblity.

I understand I am "under investigation." I have not heard back from you. I think you people ought to be "under investigation." I've never worked for such sorry excuses for human beings in my life. I pray for the day when I drive by the office, and find it boarded up. That way the elder citizens of America can get a break from the strong-arm tactics you encourage your employees to utilize. As a history major at a private university in Tampa, I am deeply offended that the likeness of the Statue of Liberty is being utilized to lure citizens to phone in, only to be hammered into submission by your agents. I found the job humiliating for a man of my educational background, honor role status, and my regular placement on the Dean's list for academic excellence. Try as you might, you can't take away the educational merits that I have achieved, or the drive that I possess to become the best teacher I can be. After some contemplation, I realize that I was simply over-qualified for the job. The magazine pusher position should be reserved for the ignorant, uneducated, ill-informed members of our society, who will actually believe the things that you tell them in your daily "morale-boosting" e-mails. The people you attract are the result of dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park, ex-cons, ex-hookers, and ex-junkies. Consider this a formal letter of resignation, as I would rather shake a tin cup than work for the likes of you. Quitting this job is the biggest "Weebah" of them all! Rah! Rah! Rah!

We just buy and sell your information, as if you were just another head of cattle! This company represents the worst in american business. I apologize to everyone I have hurt since I have worked for these losers. The next time anyone reading this gets a lovely pink paper in the mail, shred it! I asked a supervisor if I could have one of the mailings to help me do my job better....Surprise!!! I never got one! Nor do I know anything about 3/4 of the offers that I am transferring people to! How can I do my job effectively when I don't know what I am selling in the first place?! It's all part of the grand scheme to steal you money! Peace.
