Complaint Review: ScoreSense.com - Dallas Texas

you know the funny thing everyone loves the word FREE i use it all the time to get my scores even used it to dispute some items. read the email they send you it says its a 7 day trial there and on the website under FAQ and on one of the main info pages. ive never been charged more than a dollar.

Sorry, but those scammed and charged are not alone. I did the free trial read the fine print. Cancelled my subscription fter 3 days max. Well, they pretty much beg you to keep their service. We can give you the same service for $9.99 a month. To which I responded "no thank you, My mom let me use her credit card to access the account since you refused to accept my pre-paid card as payment."  "Are you sure you want to cancel, we can figure out a way to use your pre-paid account....." YES, I want to cancel. "OK, We'll cancel your account"

Mom still got charged $9.99. I cancelled before the stupid trial was up. Definitely a scam!!

The sorry fact is is that the product is decent. I'd have gone back to the product had they not screwed me (Mom)

A common post you will notice throughout the Scoresense complaints (which are quite numerous due to their deceptive practices), is a response by "Ken" reprinting the terms and conditions.

To the consumers who have been defrauded, YES this is illegal activity. Numerous courts, especially those within ScoreSense's "primary place of business" jurisdiction have held so-termed "hidden" terms of uses to be null on much less. Here, ScoreSense has the terms and conditions links posted in a place not readily noticeable to your reasonable consumer.  Rather, they proceed by in-line linking and couching the recurring term in overbroad language that would easily be struck down. Ken, I don't know who your attorney is...but frankly, your terms and conditions are quite deficient and this is not "reasonably conspicuous notice" that $30 is coming out of the consumer's account each month. Don't waste your time replying that you have nothing to do with this company, you reply to each and every single Scoresense complaint with the same response of reposting those terms. Also, under current Texas law, this only helps somone who finally decides to sue you because it illustrates that you have been placed on notice and are aware of the deceptive practice.

Now, on to a solution.  Consumers, file a complaint with the Better Business Burea.

Or, better yet, file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General here: https://www.oag.state.tx.us/forms/cpd/form.php

Hopefully everyone chooses to do this and this fraudulent misrepresentation is stopped and the company is forced to post the recurring charge on the initial webpage.

the link is at the bottom of the trial ordering page.
