I originally signed up for the service in XX/XX/XXXX, right away I could not get into the system to authenticate my account. I called the customer service numerous of times, to have this corrected. I called XX/XX/XXXX to have the service canceled. The rep stated that I wasnt charged for XX/XX/XXXX and there shouldnt be an issue. I noticed XX/XX/XXXX that I had not received my refund back and tried to contact them again. I sent numerous of emails through their site, trying to get this issue resolved. When I finally got through, the customer service rep had me on hold for an hour and 40 min only to be transferred and hung up on. I recently notice that I have been getting charged XXXX once a month, but when I call could never get ahold of anyone. I finally get in contact with someone XX/XX/XXXX regarding my refund. I spoke with XXXX, she is supposedly the only floor supervisor in the company. First, she stated the company does not refund money, I told her my issue and she stated that they will refund me one month, I then demanded that I receive a full refund because I canceled in XX/XX/XXXX and the funds were still being taken out of my account. Besides that, their system does not work, I was supposed to be able to use their site to view my credit report. She stated that she will refund me three months and that she could not see XX/XX/XXXX. I stated there should be someone there that can see XX/XX/XXXX and there should also be a way for them to look at my account and see that it could not be used do to their system due to the authentication issue, after about 20 minutes of going back and forth with this lady stated that she could only refund me 90 days back and if I didnt like it I can do the survey and hung up on me. After the survey if you stated that you do not believe you were helped the call is transferred to some that could further help. I was on hold for an additional 20 minutes before I decided to just hang up. I should be refunded a total of {$140.00} because the system never worked, but I only asked for XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$110.00}, the young lady stated I would only get XXXX and thats all she can do, only to really get an email with a refund of only {$29.00}. The company is scamming consumers out of their money, they are charging for a service that I could never use. I would like my entire refund of {$140.00}, since I was already refunded {$29.00}, I should receive an additional {$110.00}. This company should not be able to conduct business if they can not provide the services they are charging people for.

On or about XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, an online company called " Myscore '' charged my Visa Card for {$29.00} unauthorized. XX/XX/XXXX while I was searching online to obtain legal counsel, in electronically agreeing to the terms and conditions for legal counsel, I inadvertently agreed to " Myscore '' as well. Immediately after discovering my error, I sent an e-mail to " Myscore '' demanding they close my account immediately. Unfortunately, they had charged my Visa Debit card immediately upon my agreeing. I advised them because it was my oversight, they could keep that fee but, close my account immediate and never charge my card again. " Myscore '' agreed to my demand and sent an e-mail confirmation to my e-mail address stating my account was closed XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXXest. " Myscore '' is an online service company with NO mailing address or US state location that, offers credit monitoring, credit fraud protection, unlimited credit bureau access to your own reports and alerts participants if their credit is being used by someone else unauthorized or may have stolen your identity ; " Myscore '' provides these services for an annual fee of {$29.00} until the participants requests their account be closed in writing or via e-mail. Coming up to XX/XX/XXXX, " Myscore '' charged my card again almost a year after I closed the account and received confirmation from them that my account was closed. I immediately informed my bank of this problem and they immediately closed my debit card, put the amount in dispute and issued a temporary credit to my checking account in good faith, hoping the company would credit the {$29.00} back to my account. Unfortunately, after 6 - 7 attempts from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX the company has continued reneging on its promise to credit back the {$29.00} to my checking account. My bank stated that the company, " Myscore '', has abused their charging privileges and my rights as a consumer. Everyone I have spoken with, with the exception of XXXX individuals at " Myscore '', the customer service reps spoke with XXXX foreign accents and each one promised they would process my credit of {$29.00} ... each customer service rep was blaming another rep for my credit not being processed ; and with each promise from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, I was advised to wait 4-5 business days before the credit post back to my account ... which, to this date has not be done.

I received an email from the company " XXXX to sample their genealogical services. When I entered their website, there was a banner from " MyScore '' at the XXXX website to check your credit score for free. I decided to check out the free credit score request given by MyScore. When I entered MyScore website, it immediately led me to give my credit card information, in order to get my credit score. It also started that there was a XXXX access to my credit information and that I could cancel anytime before the end of the XXXX, either by calling them or contacting by email. Understanding that, I gave my credit card information, got my score information and then informed ( I believed ) MyScore of my wish to cancel my XXXX access. I received a reply via XXXX as a confirmation of my cancel request. I later found out that MyScore credited {$29.00} from my account as payment for the credit service membership, which I thought was cancelled. I called the company and informed that I believed I cancelled the service before the end of the XXXX access. I was told that they did n't received any cancel request from me, though I have received such a request from XXXX. I never sign up for any services from XXXX in any shape or form, especially for the money they were asking nor did I gave XXXX my credit card information for such services since already had such genealogy services done from XXXX already!. I believe that MyScore will give the runaround in refunding my {$29.00} to my account, saying I received an cancel confirmation from XXXX for services I applied for with them, when I know I did n't. I never received any email conforming XXXX credit access from MyScore & yet, they have access to my credit account. The only thing I have is the cancel request confirmation from XXXX, after I thought I cancel my credit access the same day I sign up with MyScore!.

This all started on XXXX. A Company called My Score took money out of my bank account for something that I did n't order. How they got my # I do not know. So I went to my bank and cancelled my debit card. I then called them and cancelled what ever. They said my money would be back on my account in XXXX 5 days. This happened XXXX 5 times and when I got my new card, they hit it again. After 11 phone calls, I finally got an address where to write them at. Same old you 'll have your money in XXXX 5 days. After I wrote and got no reply, I contacted the XXXX. They said they would look into it and if I did n't get a reply to contact you. It was n't so much the money. Only {$79.00}, but it caused XXXX overdrafts on my account. That was another {$72.00}. The Company I wrote to was Golden Score LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Ph. # XXXX. Maybe that will do it. Very Respectfully. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX Thank You.

I tried to apply for a loan online. I was redirected to XXXX to get my credit score. It was supposed to have been a {$1.00} charge to receive the credit score and NO additional charge if the trial membership was cancelled. When I was unable to get my score, I called the SAME DAY ( XXXX XXXX,2015 ) and cancelled my membership. A {$1.00} fee was charged to my account, from both Myscore and XXXX on XXXX XXXX. HOWEVER, on XXXX XXXX additional fees of {$29.00} from Myscore and {$17.00} from XXXX were charged to my account, even though the membership had been CANCELLED a week earlier. Since these additional unexpected charges caused an overdraft on my account, I am also being charged {$36.00} PER DAY for overdraft fees. Myscore has agreed to eventually refund the original {$29.00} plus {$1.00} fees but not any of the overdraft charges. XXXX is REFUSING to issue any kind of refund. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not agree to this service. I called to cancel. Rather than cancel and issue a refund, the rouge agent began to warn that my information could end up in the wrong hands. I understood that to mean he was going to make sure it did. He agent then hung up on me. No refund was issued. ( I believe if I become a victim of identity theft it will be the result of this agent releasing my personal information ).
