I was contacted back at the beginning of March this year by Worldwide Readers Service, Inc. in Lakewood, CO asking if I wanted some magazines sent to my home. I believe I stated that Id like that. The call was recorded, but I dont really recall any of the details of the call. I tried calling many times to cancel the magazines once I realized I didnt care for them. The line was always busy & I continued to redial for at least a half an hour. Not being able to get through to the company was very frustrating. But I kept trying because I am getting 8 magazines that I dont care for or have the time to read.

This afternoon I got through to someone, but the person who answered said something very quickly & before I could speak they hung up. I redialed the number, 1-866-570-2900 which is on my credit card statement. This time the woman stated the name of the company so quickly I again could not understand it. I asked her to cancel my subscriptions immediately for all the magazines that her company had subscribed for me; she stated that that she couldnt do this. I repeatedly asked her to cancel all subscriptions immediately. I finally asked to speak to someone in management & was placed on hold for a short time.

A male came on the line stating that his name was David. I told him that I wanted all subscriptions that his company had subscribed for me to be canceled immediately. He stated that that was not possible that I had a contract to fulfill & I still owed his company $449.70. If I refused to pay this amount that his company would turn my account over to a collection agency & that my credit would be ruined. He wanted to know why it took me so long to call to cancel. I told him that I tried many times to call to cancel, but could not get through to his company. I asked his full name which is David Duran. I asked him who was the president of his company is to which he stated he was & the name of the company, & their address.

I then told him that I would try handling this matter through different channels & I hung up. I really dont want to continue receiving these magazines for the next 15 months (a year & 3 months); especially at the price they will charge me! I am unemployed & have realized that I really cannot afford to continue paying for these magazines.

I have some health problems now & depending on the outcome of some tests that I had done its quite possible that my medications alone may run thousands of dollars a year. I wont have more tests until the end of Jan. 2011 to confirm exactly what I have. So I could really put that money to far better use.
