Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I wanted unlimited music downloads, which was advertised for $1.00 a month. I just assumed they were going to charge my account one dollar a month.

When I checked my account information I found a 59.95 and a $99.95 charge on my account. I called the number that was listed with the charges, 1-800-649-4065, and I was told that I subscribed to the unlimited download network and they automatically subscribed me to the healthydiscountcard.com and this was the charges for it.

I told them that I wanted a refund and they said this was o.k. Well ten day went by and there was no credit in my account. I called the number back and the lady told me that it takes 20-25 days for the money to be credited. I have waited 22 days.

I called the number again today and she says there was an error and now I have to wait another 20-25 days as of today. I asked for the tax I.D. and the address.

None of the information was provided to me, all she could tell me is that the information could be found on thier website, healtydiscountcard.com, and now I can not get into the website that she has provided.

Please Help and what can I do.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

Tabatha & Kevin, etc., I know ita a huge hassle & so unfair, but you have to close your account & do it now!! Healthydiscountcard.com's site says that they will bill your account $100 every 2 weeks & they will!!! My credit card was billed $59.95 on 2/22/06, $99.95 on 2/27/06, & then another $99.95 on 3/14/06. I had to cancel that card & file a faraud report over the phone. My credit card compnay is sending me a written fraud report to fill out. I'm hoping that they will go after these people, but maybe we need to contact our respective State Attorney Generals?? I followed up on Klon of Calif.'s report (thank you Klon!) & looked up the registrant of healthyd.....com & unlim...com & this site registration company seems suspect to me re; who & how web sites use their services. The registrant company is Navigation Catalyst Systems, Inc. & they are located in California & on the internet. But according to Klon & others filing reports here healthyd...com & unlimitedm...com are in the Phillippines. Good Luck, I know how you feel. I'm shaking mad right now. Margaret Woodstock, GA
