For those of you who don't know I am a Very head strong person.
This is the story of my Victory of the company called Girls Gone Wild.
This whole thing started back in October of 2004. I remember these all night infomercials dipicting how great the two movies Endless Spring break and Girl Power actually were. So I had just got my job, I had some extra money to spend and it was like, "What the Hell?, How could it hurt me?", and just like that. I was fucked.
Every month they send you a new dvd and charge you for it. Girl Power Vol.2, Girl Power Vol 3. After 3 months of that I decided to cancel my subscription. It was just a waiste of money and all I did was let my friends borrow them without ever going to get them back. So on a bright day in January I decided to go ahead and call them up to cancel my account.
Now when you call to cancel it isn't a...
ME:"Hey I would like to cancel my account"
THEM:"ok"
ME:"Thanks, bye"
... type situation. No why would they let something be simple?
For everyone who tries to cancel their account they throw this pitch at you, and this is where the real rapeage begins.
Some girl gets on the phone and starts talking like an auctioneer but I can understand most words she's saying. Like Sex, Lesbian, Money shots, Masturbation... Just a whole lot of volger things trying to get me on this next deal. So I decided to no argue with her and just go ahead with it.
So here is when she says this:
"Ok, now there are a total of 20 dvds at blah blah dollars a piece which comes out to 208.97 including shipping and handleing", "Now when you get these you are free to watch them all and do what you like with them, just at the end of the 30 trial period if you don't like them send them back and you wont be charged". So I said "I will only be charged for the ones I keep right?", and she says "Yes". This is when some more rapeing comes into play. They get this guy on the phone called the "Verifier" to "verify" everything that has gone on, but he just goes over the money. He says "the total comes to 208.97 including S&H is that ok", and I say "Yes". They both wish me a good day and we say our Goodbyes.
I got on about my life as usual, work, mall, fast food, you know, just the usual everyday things. Except for on one very gloomy day I go to use my bank card and it's declined.
I get off work and I go home to see why I don't have money in the bank. I checked it a week ago and I had close to 300. Where could it of all gone?. I start thinking about things and nothing is comming to mind. I check Bank of America(dot)com and see that I have overdrafted my account 13 times and it all started with a 208.97 purchase I made. What could that be I thought for a half a second until my eyes glanced across the screen and I saw the letters "GGW".
"WTF" I thought, as I started cussing and yelling at the moniter. That transaction wasn't supposed to happen until after I got the movies, watched them for 30 days and decided to send all of them back. As a matter of fact, that Subtraction should have never happened. The next day I call GGW and talk to a Customer Service guy. It basically went like thise.
ME:"Hey this lady told me this and this happened"
GUY:"No she didn't"
Repeat that a couple of times with some cuss words and attitude, and the conversation ended with me not getting my way.
I called back a day later and they told me to talk to my bank, my bank told me to talk to them. They were obviously fucking me over in more than one way.
This extremely pissed me off because I went from about +250 to -400. It kinda helped that I got paid 2 days after my -400 balance was established and my brother and his girl friend also helped me to get out of debt as soon as possible. But the fact still remained that I lost 600 on these people and I wasn't giving up till I got atleast the money for the movies back. Which wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
The Quest started to fuck GGW just like they had done to me.
I got the package on the 28th of January and I called GGW that same day to make sure I was still following all procedures on there guidlines for opening packages and whatnot, but this time I was ready. I called there 1-800 number from my house phone, took my other phone off the hook and set it on speaker phone, grabbed my computer mic and set it to record. There was no way I could let them get by me again.
I talked to Brain operator 14 (I made him state his name and op # for the record). Instead of getting him to confirm everything I got him to tell us everything. So I could have him on record saying everything not just yes or no. He told me that I could open the package and watch whatever I wanted as long as it was back to them in 30 days I wouldn't be charged.
Everything was just like had been said before.
So on Feb 15th I got my Mom to mail the package and all 20 dvds straight back to there company from her work. It was an overnight delivery and get there on the 16th at 10:16 am. I had gotten the USPS to give me a receipt of this for my own records. There thing says wait 30 days for all returns so I did.
Around March 5th I got impatient because I still hadn't received anymoney or word from them about it. So I called them up again and got the same shit as before. 30 waiting period. So I waited some more. I decided to be generous with them and wait till the 18th to call back. 18th came, and no deposit into my account. Angrly I picked up the phone and called them. Someone else this time. I told him what was going on with the returning of the package and 30 days waiting period, and he told me to fax my shipping receipt to them at some 1-310 number. Whatever, the next day Mom faxed it from her work. Waited 3 days and nothing. We sent them an email to there email account marked for returns and waited. The next day I got an email back from them. Guess what it said.
Well what in the fuck just happened? You can tell they didn't read the email because this hasn't got anything to do with what I wrote them. Or does it... Wait.. Sylmar, Ca 91392, where did that come from?
There site says this.
How could they possibly try to dick people over anymore ways? They do everything they can to fuck anyone they can over, and that shit aint right. By this point im ready to just goto my Aunt who works for a Law Firm and sue them blind. For the money they owe me and for damages. I Got receipts, recorded conversations, and names of employees. They would be screwed.
I write them back giving them there last warning. It kinda went something like this:
"I have followed every demand from you and still have gotten nothing in return. I followed your website on where to send returns to. I have your own employees telling me that same adress as your site list as to where to send my returns too. I have receipts showing that I have returned your items to that address. This is your last chance to give me my money back before I have to take legal action against your company.
Joseph Seal"
And in comes today bright and sunny. Birds chirping, breeze blowing everything is going perfectly, because today when I checked my bank account, the money was there. And not just the 198.97 they said they where giving back, the whole 208.97. Even what I paid for shipping was there.
This Consumed nearly 5 months of my life just trying to get that money back. And even though I still lost in the end, I beat GGW and thats all I really cared about. So today is a good day for me and I just hope work is gentle to me.
Good day people and have a great day.
