NEVER AGAIN!!!

I have used Bellaplex and Luminique for 2 years now and have to say I love the products. When I found myself out of full time work and with 3 kids to support as a single parent I had to decide to put on hold my regular delivery of this product until I can land on my feet again.
I had 2 payments taken out monthly for both products (with a delivery every 2 months) along with 2 separate payments for delivery.
Yes, was getting expensive but as I loved the product this was my little splurge on myself.
When I contacted the Sydney Australia number I was speaking to an American man and I explained my situation that I was currently facing financial hardship and would like to put my payments and orders on hold for 2-3 months until I got on my feet again (I also had a few bottles stocked up so would survive until then)
This all seemed good and well until the gentleman then told me that my account was in arrears $480?
I asked him how could that even be possible as you take the direct debit off my credit card every month? He said this was in arrears since 2014. I then asked him why was this not brought up early as I had contacted the customer service line last year in April 2015 by email to speak about the direct debits coming out of my card, so If I was in arrears then this would've been mentioned then...his response was that this would not have been mentioned as I was not enquiring about that???
He then tried to tell me that numerous letters had been sent to my PO box (which I never received) requesting the payment or this would go to a debt collector? By now I was seeing red and asked to speak to his supervisor which he replied he was the senior staff on the floor. I then asked for him to send me all of this information in an email including a copy of the so called letters requesting payment as I was going to look into this legally and report this to consumer affairs as a scam as I had proof that payment had been coming out of my account every month without fail for the past 2 years.
On 2 occasions during this phone conversation he attempted to get me to pay $220 and he would then reduce the arrears back to $0.00
I told him I wasn't paying anything and to cancel my entire order completely. He then tried to tell me that I would still have to pay$440 Again I asked him to send me all of this in a document along with the letters supposedly mailed to me which I never received so I could then follow this up with consumer affairs. He then put me on hold again ( for a 3rd time) and when he returned he kindly advised me that all of my arrears were now finalized back to $0 and that my order was now cancelled.
So, definitely a lesson learnt as I had requested over the 2 years to please charge my card at the beginning of each month so I knew when a payment would come out. They were taking payments sometimes 2 weeks apart but in different months so in reality they were getting extra payments.
This company is definitely a scam when it comes to taking your money, sadly as I said I loved the products but a scam is a scam :-(
