[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
In the business response, they state that the goods were ordered by *** ***; my name has been *** since 2012. All previous orders they alluded to were under the name *** along with a record of my birth date. All information easily accessible by the CSR that called me. I do not now or have ever worked at the division located at *** *** *** ** *** IN, which is where you stated you sent the product to. I never received it, and never would have requested you send it there. Since I never received it, how would I have ben able to cancel it?
I reiterate again, I very clearly told your CSR that I had ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in this product and I didn't even want the day trial. I believe he took my personal information out of your records and created an order on his own. The fact that you acknowledge that I went through the cancellation process on prior orders but not this one should tell you something
I want a full refund.Regards,*** ***

addressWithin hours of the discussion, we sent a confirmation letter that clearly restated the offer discussed, including the liberal 60-day, no questions asked, cancellation policyOur computers show that the confirmation went through without any problems

We found many, many “risk free” subscriptions had been accepted before; paid in full accounts, they have an ongoing subscription to our “Keep Up to Date on Accounts Payable” since 2/Other subscriptions were cancelled as we instructed
We have initiated a request the same day that the name and telephone number be removed from our computer filesThis action takes

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
My original complaint was I continue to receive emails from them. They told me by law they have to mail me the printed material which they were not but it started shortly after thatThey said I had to receive the printed material but they could remove me from the emails and she had me on the phone as she did this. When I continued to receive the emails I called back and talked to the same person Denise at extension *** and she said it takes a while for them to stop to call back after a certain date if I continue to recieve, when I called back after that date she told me that the emails are required by law as well. I sensed this is not the case, the printed materials maybe but not the emails. I continue to get them daily and hit upsubscribe to no effect. I would send these to Spam but I am concerned I may receive an email from them telling me I need to respond to opt out or something
Regards,

We do not accept this response, as this is the same explanation I received when I calledI've spoken with the school site and the administratorThe administrator in question is an Athletic Director with no need to purchase a $Education Law HandbookShe does not recall any phone conversation, nor does she recall any follow up emails, however with firewalls in place SPAM email may not be received.This exact situation also occurred to my previous office, where I was the one who was told accepted the 'preview', which I never did eitherLightening does not strike twice.I fought that bill for two years, and ended up having to sign to have our district pay for a $book we never requested and had returnedBecause the packing slip has an earlier date than actual receipt, making the day return period is also another scam.I will keep the response on file so payment cannot be demanded but want a record on file that our district does not wish to do any further business with this companyThey need not send any books for 'preview' to our school district.Thank you,
