I have spent the past month attempting to locate the company taking money from my account. Beginnning in Dec. 2009, a monthly amount was taken by someone on my bank statement listed as FreeMed. I had begun to analyze my electronic statements very carefully due to tax filing time approaching and dedected over $900.00 had been taken by this company. My bank didn't have a phone number initially for them either. Today, I called my bank again and they were able to find a number for a bank that was handling the transactions for a company called SCBN. I contacted that bank and they gave me the phone number for SCBN but it took me several attempts to speak to a person rather than a computer. I finally reached a male who rudely told me that the charges must have been authorized by me or they wouldn't have taken them. I felt very victimized. I explained that I haven't received anything nor signed anything. He told me their policy didn't require a signature. However, to stop the charges I must send a letter with MY signature requesting cancellation. I asked what can I do to get reimbursed and he said I should ask in the letter but they aren't required to do so. My bank advised me to immediately stop payment and the bank will reimburse for 60 days payments but no more. I have not needed a service like this. I have Medicare Advantage that pays for my prescriptions without any monthly charges for the policy. Prior to that, I was included on my husband's company policy. I would certainly not buy something that I receive for free. I am extremely concerned about my personal information at this point as well as the loss of the money. Other seniors will undoubtedly be victimized in the same way. How do we stop these businesses that take advantage of others. If anyone has been able to obtain a settlement, please let me know how to do so. Thanks
