United Readers Service DBA Braden Magazines
Complaint 361185 Details

I received a call from Braden Magazines. The man said his name was James Cannon and he was a prize coordinator. Of course he said that I might have won $25,000.00, a new Ford Explorer or a Plasma TV. Of course he went on about getting 2 free magazines and I needed to pay for one. My price for the one would be billed monthly at $ 49.95 for 60 months. I asked when I would start being charged. James said it would be on the 1st of the month. The recording I had to listen to said the same thing. I said no problem since I would have time to make sure the money would be there. The little bit of money I had in the bank was for a couple of bills that would be coming out shortly. Found out a hour later that $49.95 had been billed already. Because of that it have a overdraft on the $49.95 plus the 2 small bills that also make out. So far this company has my checking account $189.00 in the hole. I'm disabled and only my wife works. That $189.00 is going to be 1/2 of my wifes paycheck.
