BOMC2.COM review: CHARGING ME AFTER CANCELLATION OF MEMBERSHIP 32

I have been trying for over an hour now to contact customer service for bomc2. I '"m having trouble signing in. I changed my sign in and password info maybe a couple of months ago. I want to check my list, also order a couple of books for a family member. sign in info, terry stancer, password, bellagirl. Please check for me and e-mail at dee_stancer@hotmail.com. Thanks!

I checked my bank account and low and behold, Bomc2.com charged my account. I had an account with double day books a while back and canceled. Now all of a sudden without me ordering anything I am being charged 9.95 for something I did not order. I will take this up with my bank.

I too am trying to cancel and cannot find contact.

The only way I find to contact them is if you put in the wrong passwords on purpose to get a phone number to pop up and then you can call and talk to someone but then you get the run around from them once in awhile to. They all say different things. I am trying to cancel my account to and was told I could not get the money back for all the books i did not order but to just add more books to my list and call them to have them sent to me until I catch up. Then cancel my account. I have a letter saying they cancelled it but now I cant even go to the web page to even see if its cancelled or not. Kinda strange if you ask me. They better not still be charging me since I have paid to them for over a year now.

Buy Beware!

Can't even get ahold of their e-mail I canceled one time and after that I can't seem to
get ahold of them for anything. I asked for a confirmation and they never sent me one.
Don't know what to do except to call Attorney General and have them work on it.

Early in 2009, I joined Book Of The Month, also known as BOMC2 on credit card bills, a division or one of a number of book clubs owned by Bookspan.

I cancelled membership after I missed the free trial cancellation deadline so I had to continue for the agreed minimum period, which I think was for three months.
I called the BOMC2 customer service number and cancelled my account. I got the name of the person I spoke to who confirmed my account was cancelled.
Next month another $9.95 charge appeared on my credit card.

I called again and "cancelled" again. This was in June 2009.
Also I called the credit card company (Chase), and they reversed the charge. Since I thought this time had taken care of it, I neglected to check my statements since I hardly used the card, then today (November) I looked, and there again was a BOMC2 charge for $9.95.

BOMC2

you charged my card 10.77 after and i mean a couple months after cancelling the account. Your company is listed as a scam company and I have started the proceeding to file a lawsuit.

RETURN THE MONEY YOU TOOK FROM MY ACCOUNT

You are a sorry pathetic online book club who wont even list a phone number. I have filed a complaint with theBBB and will continue to file complaints with whatever agency including the Consumer's Rights in Washington. This complaint will hit all the way tothe state senate and trust and believe that little 10.77 you stole will cost you millions

I had charges from BOMC2 CS@BOMC2.CO PA $10.55 on my account and I NEVER even joined a book club, or received any books! Here is some info that may help you.er

Web Site: http://www.bomc2.com/pages/havePatience/message_C_1.jsp

I contacted them and asked to talk to a supervisor, they told me they would credit all unauthorized charges to my account. I also contacted my bank with all the information and filed a fraud report to the bank. I have to wait a few days to see if my account actually gets credited. I also canceled my bank card which cost me $7.50, but I do not want to chance these people ripping me off again!

I hope this helps someone out there!

I canceled after they charged me 12.95 for one book, I did not even join this club, it was part of offer for free notebook computer, I didnt even do the requirements and this bomc2. com keeps debiting my account for 9.95, they cant take any money it is on a debit card, but what crooks they keep trying to rip people off, you cant even get a hold of anybody of this company in a hotel suite somewhere in timbuck too

Yes that they are! they seem to think that they can charge me sales tax on an item that comes from another state. In Illinois we are not taxed on items that come from out of state. Why they think that they can do this when all other book clubs I belong to I don't know! I mentioned this to them and they indicated that it is because of a law that was passed in 2009. Again, any item I purchase outside of Illinois is not subject to sales tax but they keep charging me that!

So yes, they are crooks!

This book club has charged me sales tax since I joined. The problem is that if the company is not based in Illinois, which they are not, then they can not charge me (an Illinoisan) sales tax for an item that is being procured from the web and from another state (NY). Further, the tax they are charging is not even the State of Illinois tax or the city of Chicago. They seem to be assessing a 6.25% tax.

I have written them via their website. On my first request, from Vinnie, I was sent a copy of the welcome letter, setting forth the membership terms.

I replied back and was told by Anne, " We are legally required to collect a sales tax on all products sold to resident members of your state. The tax charge is calculated on the item price plus the shipping and processing costs incurred in processing your order."

My response to them was that they are the only out of state company and the only book club that is passing on a tax to me. I asked them to provide the legislation that indicates specifically that BOMC2 is required to tax Illinoisans.

They are crooks and their answers are just off the wall. There are no shipping and handling charges, so this agent doesn't even know her accounting practices and offerings!

I did research and I found out that this company is owned by Bookspan, that also owns www.Booksonline.com. They are based out of NY and the President and CEO is Deborah (Debi) I. Fine. I have listed the owning company's address and phone numbers in this complaint.

So beware of this book club!

Check out my posting. I found out some very helpful information about ownership, CEO and address and phone numbers!

I received a book & never joined.They are telling me I have to purchase 3 more books for joining.

I have the phone number to cancel your books they are open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm mon. - fri. [protected]

above comment

I am having the same problem...what can i do, besides close my bank account? never mind i see the phone number above, i am going to call and give them a piece of my mind! P.S. thanx for the phone # Carol!

I actually just had trouble with it today. I changed my payment information, and they still charged the old account. So I called them today. The kid I talked to "Justin" was obviously not the brightest crayon in the box. I finally gave up and called my bank. But after the trouble I've had over something so simple, and reading this, I do believe that I will be cancelling my account.

I have joined or ordered any books and I found this strange company on my bank statement. With no phone number just their web site, I am.contacting the FTC, BBB first thing in the morning, and I saw their phone...local for me, I will call. And they owe me bank over draft fee to top.

I am starting my discontinue today the 4th of August 2011 and from what I've read above I am not looking forward to this. I thought this was a good idea and joined the BOMC but after receiving my first book I wanted to get out right then cause it's no where near worth the 11 bucks for the book I got. The book was made really cheap and the glue was falling apart, the paper they used was recycled brown paper bag or something and very weak. I'd give them maybe 2 bucks for the book and thats being generous. Then I was sent two more books in the past two months and I didn't even open them, I wrote on the package "Return to sender" and that was that I thought. I didn't order the books in the first place but the one they sent first, they charged me for that and fine that was my fault but then when they charged me for two others I never even ordered I was done. I sent them back and never got a refund on my card yet for them, now I gotta go threw the hassle of getting my money back which isn't the big problem but I just don't want to be billed anymore. Their should be a way to cancel them from being able to charge my credit card but I don't know how to find it, to bad it isn't threw pay pal, they made it easy to cancel payment to a company I had issues with. Its just to easy to get caught up in something online, it sounds so great at the time until you receive the item then its down hill from their.

BOMC2.COM — CHARGING ME AFTER CANCELLATION OF MEMBERSHIP

I've been with bomc2 since it's beginning and have never had a problem, until December 2013 when they took money twice out of my checking account for books I didn't receive. No books came off my reading list but they took money on 12/20 and 12/30. The phone no. is [protected] if you like listening to violin music forever, because nobody ever picks up the call. I've used the "contact us" several times and they don't read what you wrote. All I get is a form letter that has no answer to the problem.

Everyone needs to file a BBB complaint, it's the only way they'll respond. With that said, i filed a complaint and they are 'stalling" the complaint by saying they don't have an email, so I have to fax them paperwork to back up my complaint. Then, when I fax the paperwork, they wait several days and then say that they can't read it (even though we can see the fax is fine, they say it's too dark to read). The only thing that will "hurt" them is by MANY people filing BBB complaints to show that there is a pattern of bad behavior. My complaint, BTW, is them making unauthorized charges to my bank account, and then failing to respond adequately.

I canceled my account about two weeks ago and I found they charged me $10.95 for what I don't have any idea. I tried calling them on 9/5/14 to cancel my membership again and find out what they were charging me for and after waiting for 20 minutes on hold the customer service person claimed they couldn't hear me and hung up. If it takes having the bank issue me a new debit card to get rid of them, than that's what I will do.
