hi
I'm new to this site and need all the advice I can get.
Earlier in October I purchased a product online NOT !!!!!! but TEETH WHITENER vain I know.I believed it was a one off purchase however I have come to realise via my credit card statement and by contacting the company that the product was actually a monthly subsciption. I have also realised that this is from America.
I have set in motion trying to cancel the whole thing via my credit card company and the company I purchased the product from. They emailed me a link in order to complete the cancellation however the link will not complete the task as it requires a State; a ZIP code and a valid telephone number.
When I purchased the original product, my country of origin was asked for and the electronic form that was required to be filled in, was changed so that it represented a form that details such as post codes, counties etc. could be filled in.
I have tried to recontact the company but to no avail, there is no email address to correspond with.
has anybody had a simular problem and can offer advice please
Eddie
My details were taken it was

hmmmm....an un-named internet subscription from america? Come now, don't be shy - we're all adults here!
Anyway - sounds as though you have a 'continuous payment authority' set up on the card. the only people who can stop the payment is the company itself. so if they dont want to, you're f***edDebts at LBM (May '08) £5760 - Lloyds CC £4260, Lloyds OD £1500;Debts as of May 28th 2011:Santander CC: £0.00Lloyds OD : £0.00DFW Nerd #1247 - Proudly dealt with my DebtsOlympic 2012 Challenge #12

Thanks for the blunt reply, not what I expected.
just to put the record straight the product in question was for teeth whitener, a too good to be true offer which I admit I fell for.
