Sometime in Nov.2011 I received a call on my cell phone from a company called Readers Service also called Great American Readers offering me deals an entries into contests. The solicitor offered me a chance to win some prizes if I subscribe to a magazine order at a low cost. I agreed, with the exception that he sends me some information in the mail so I can choose the magazines. I never received any paperwork only magazine after magazine that I had no interest in.
Unfortunately and foolishly I gave him my debit account number that links to my bank account. I noticed that my account was debited $33.73 the last 4 months. I called Readers Service to please cancel my order at once but they refused. (Each time I called the Reader Service the person answered with a different company name.) After they refused to cancel they told me if I were to cancel the debit card and or payment was not made to them they would report me to a Collection Agency. I called again and again an all they say is they are keeping my account open like it or not and have a nice day and hang up on me.
I would appreciate any help or advise you can give me.
Thank you.

- You need to report it to the BBB. Also depending on the state you are in if you did not sign a written contract then the "recorded contract" on the phone doesn't mean crap. You especially have the upper hand if they misrepresented themselves in any way as being your current magazine provider. I wish I could help more but just don't know all the details of the situation. Was it a blocked call or did you get their phone # with area code?
