Complaint 86662 Details

I had got a call a while ago about this company for magazines. At first it disguised itself as a victorias secret promo and I work there so I was kind of interested. I am a college student and I live on my own trying to support myself. This company keeps calling me saying they were charging my account for the $74.62 or something close to that, I supposidly owe monthly for 16 months. They kept calling me and harrassing me, speaking completely unprofessionally and basically fighting with me over the phone repeatedly asking "are you gonna pay your bill?""are you gonna pay your bill?""well are you gonna pay?". One of the many people who called me sounded like a 16 year old girl. So I called my bank, changed my card #, blocked them from calling my cell and they somehow got my roommates cell phone number and called her for me doing the same thing! I have no idea how they got her information and she reported them. They are telling me that I am way past due, so I just say I want to cancel and they told me I can't because they already paid for the magazines to be printed and I have to pay off my balance of $1000. What 19 year old college student signs up for $1000 worth of magazines?! I don't have that money nor would I sign up for something that stupid my parents would kill me. Now they called from a different number today and told me if I didn't talk to them they would record it as a refusal and soon take me to court. I have no idea what to do about this and I'm freaking out! :(
