Dear ** ***:
Thank you for your email of 2/27/regarding the above referenced complaint that you received on 2/7/After review of our detailed electronic records we would like to respond to your letter with the following explanation
/>
Please note that our primary method by which we secure orders is by telephone solicitationIn such cases, our representatives take orders with a 60-day right of cancellation to a 1-year subscription to one of our newsletters, books or on line programsWe have very stringent quality control procedures regarding our representatives making this offerThese include verifying the address, asking for the month and day of the person's birth and asking for the person's email address or fax so we can send written confirmation of the order within hours, as well as to encourage contact with us if there are any mistakes or changes that need to be made
Regarding the specifics of this situation, please note that *** ***, Safety Coord, placed an order on 4/26/for our Environmental Compliance Alert publicationWe were provided with a birth date of ***, as well as an email 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 records show the email went through without any problems
The birthday information is obtained, in part, to verify the conversation took placeOnce the order was placed, the same computer system sent the newsletters and invoices over a 5-month period of time
Thus the goods that were ordered by *** were sent to the same address that shows on this complaintThis computer system records and tracks all confirmations, invoices, on-line programs, books, periodicals sent and cancellation requestsIt does not show that we ever received a cancellation on this account or mail returned as "undeliverable"If we had we would have cancelled the account immediately
With all telephone orders placed, if the ordering person does not find the information helpful, all that needs to be done is to write CANCEL on the invoice and return it to us or advise us any other way and the subscription will be stopped with no payment required, as is the publishing industry's general custom
However, if neither paid nor cancelled after months, warning notices plus an additional 30-day wait period the account may be turned over for collectionThat is what happened in this instance
As a courtesy we did contact the collection agency on 2/18/as they requested the same day they called us and advised the agency to cease collections and cancel the accountThey have assured us that will be doneThere will be no ramifications due to this account being turned over for collection and there is no money due or owing on the account
While researching this complaint we did find that this company has done business with us in the past and is aware of our cancellation policyWe found many, many different trial subscriptions had been accepted before; 17-trials for *** himself while all other accounts were cancelled as we instructed without issue, except this account
We initiated a request on 2/27/that the name, address and telephone number be removed from our computer filesThis action takes approximately 30-days to processIn business we hesitate to say the company will never receive another mailing from usIf any company information changes our computers may not recognize it and something may go outIf that should happen, simply call us and we will remove that version, too
Please know that we do business regularly with thousands of companies who place repeated orders due to their continued satisfaction and excellent customer service
All of our contact information is in our newsletter and it contains our toll free telephone numberWe, also, have a hour/days a week voice mail system due to the large amount of calls we receive daily from our coast-to-coast subscribers

[A default letter is provided here which indicates your acceptance of the business's response. If you wish, you may update it before sending it.]Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me as long as the collection letters and phone calls for payment or return of merchandise we did not receive will finally cease. The Director of Subscriber Services continues to express an unrealistic expectation that somehow we should have been able to write cancel on their invoice and return their book that we never received in the first place. Additionally, they have not offered to provide any proof of delivery or proof of ordering these productsAfter the first letter we sent to Progressive Business Publications protesting two invoices, one for a book and one for a newsletter subscription, we received a response stating our order was cancelled and we should keep the newsletters already received with their complimentsAfter our second letter protesting receipt of another invoice for the book, we received no response except for a collection letterAfter a third letter and filing a complaint with the Revdex.com, we received a response stating the invoice was cancelled even before they could have received our letter. We only hope that is the end of it Thank you kindly for your assistance on our behalf

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me Being that they are agreeing to my earlier requestI also do not have the Info of the name *** *** or that birth date on the current demand letter, so that tells me that they are definitely doing a phone solicitation and per our Board of Directors for the public school we do not authorize anyone to approve sales via verbal over the phone and birth datesSo I think if they have multiple people at this School site, they will not have any purchases authorized in this manner

Regarding the specifics of this situation, please note that *** ***, Plant Mgr, placed an order on 4/10/for our Facility Manager's Alert publicationWe were provided with a birth date of ***, as well as an email 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 records show the email went through without any problems
The birthday information is obtained, in part, to verify the conversation took placeOnce the order was placed, the same computer system sent the newsletters and invoices over a 5-month period of time
Thus the goods that were ordered by *** were sent to the same address that shows on this complaintThis computer system records and tracks all confirmations, invoices, on-line programs, books, periodicals sent and cancellation requestsIt does not show that we ever received a cancellation on this account or mail returned as "undeliverable"If we had we would have cancelled the account immediately

However, if neither paid nor cancelled after months, warning notices plus an additional 30-day wait period the account may be turned over for collectionThat is what happened in this instance
As a courtesy we did contact the collection agency on 3/5/and advised the agency to cease collections and cancel the accountThey have assured us that will be doneThere will be no ramifications due to this account being turned over for collection and there is no money due or owing on the account
We initiated a request on the same day that the name, address and telephone number be removed from our computer filesThis action takes approximately 30-days to processIn business we hesitate to say the company will never receive another mailing from usIf any company information changes our computers may not recognize it and something may go outIf that should happen, simply call us and we will remove that version, too
