I just wanna say I deeply appreciate this website because I just found out that this company was not only scamming me but lots of other people. I have been called by this company everyday and have tried to cancel the subscription. Everyone keeps telling me the same thing, it's a 3 day cancellation policy. When I ordered them no one ever talked to me about the cancellation policy. I recently spoke with a representative about why the magazines could not be canceled. I don't understand why this is happening but I DESPERATELY AM IN NEED OF HELP because I am currently 9 months pregnant and I have a four year old daughter also so I can't keep making payments to these people for magazines that I don't even want. Now there telling me if I don't make a payment soon that will take legal action against me.

If there is someone out there that can HELP ME contact me back at my email at [email protected]. I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

Charging my credit card without my approval after i cancelled my order 4 months earlier

Charged by ARC, from fake website. Dispute was made and the bank will contact the company. Left message for the company. Will try again supposedly the letter comes soon and it was an unauthorized phone number.

What else can I do besides contacting the bank, disputing and cancelling charges, and contacting the company. I am a young college student trying to get them back. On the phone I kept trying to tell them no but they kept asking for info. Should I sue as well ? Should I open another card and cancel- they tried to get my debit card number and my bank will flag stop payments as long as it is up to six months in advance. Contacted BBB in Atlanta and filed.

I have tried to cancel my account several times. They don't give me that option. They call at all hours of the day and also on weekends. They are very rude and I'm sick of it. They have my business phone number as a contact and I can't very well change it. I need help on what to do from here.

I used to be an employee at american reading club and i was reading all of these complaints and wanted to give advice to anyone who is or thinking of becoming a customer of american reading club. It is a scam a rip off they will do nothing but take your money and you will never receive what you ask for. I am going to let the public in on a few secrets of arc. First and for most NEVER NEVER give anyone your credit card # YOU ARE MAKING A VERY BIG MISTAKE!!! A trick of american reading club were they get most people. Is when you first place your order and you give them your credit card # and your card declines for some reason or another and they tell you ok well we will place this order as soon as your credit card gives us the approval. and you think ok well o well i didn't want it anyway and just forget about it! HA you are dead wrong they will run that card and run it some more until they get an approval and when they do they will charge you for it without even calling back to make sure you still want it or if you want the money taken out of your account at that time then LISTEN THIS IS THE BEST PART!~! They will wait 1 week to send you your welcome packet that has all the info on what you just bought and the cancellation information but what you don't know is by the time you receive the packet it is already to late to cancel. Another famous trick is that when you are on the phone with the sales person who is selling you these great magazines what you don't know is that you will NEVER receive those magazines you will receive the cheapest magazines they have nothing that you ordered or even want.! Now don't get me wrong the owner of american reading club is a good man and has children a wife and a helicopter that is probably paid for with your money! PUBLIC BE AWARE of what you are doing DO NOT give your credit card to anyone over the phone especially one you have never hard of or don't know where is located. I am sorry to all the customers i have sold magazines to in the past and put in such a bad situation I worked for the company for 1 year and sold many many magazine packages to many many people so again to those people I am so sorry!
