They claimed that on 9/1/2011 my wife agreed to a 60 months service to five different titles of their choice. This with a monthly contract amount of $49.95 with a monthly contract payment of 24 months. My wife told them no to any magazines. She said I do not want any magazines. They said if you did want magazines which ones would you get? She said Soap Opera Digest, Soap Opera Weekly, Good House Keeping, Ladies Home Journal and Better Homes and Garden. She stated she does not want them. We never did recieve any magazines.

  • I just received a call from the umbrella company saying I'm going to collections, I've never received or ordered magazines but I owe 24 payments of 49.95. They tell me my actual town and street address but in south Carolina, I live in Canada and never been to sc. This is scary and not sure what to do!
