Don't want to give too much person info but!
Last week was looking through my dads bank statements.
Noticed a debit of £99.98 taken out prior to Christmas (unknown transaction)
Rang bank explained no idea what/who it was.
Bank directed me to "easylife" rewards scheme.
Gave me a number to ring.
Rang number asked what was going on, bit long winded to explain.
But you know the catalogues that come through door/in newspaper etc with bits n bobs in that you think , ohh that looks useful .
You send off for the item, ONCE! you have done that they enter you into a free 21 day trial! if you don't read the smallprint and contact them to cancel, you are then charged each year a membership fee!
Various amounts, small at first then gradually increase.
First was £14/£69/the latest £99.00.
How my mum missed seeing these payments im not sure but bearing in mind she wasn't very well the last few years, hence the mistake.
Still waiting for a person to ring me back (thisafternoon)
Has anyone else been I won't say scammed, but miss informed with this company.
Once your membership is with this company they sell your details on (inertia selling)
