  • I too have been sent the book:confused:
    I emailed them on 11 October & this was the reply:

    The account was opened on the 22nd September 2006 using e-mail address ********** and giving date of birth 01.01.1950.

    I have arranged to have your details removed from our files, please discard any further mailings you may receive whilst our records are being updated.

    We trust that this now clarifies the matter for you.

    Nothing about the book already sent - should I contact them again to clarify?

    I got a book a while back in my son's name, he was 15 at the time. I told him he shouldn't order anything over the internet and if there was any ordering to be done then I would do it. He was adament he hadn't ordered anything.

    I phoned them, they cancelled membership and I've heard nothing since.

    Can anybody tell me the number as they have just sent me a bill for £16.99 for just the first book. When i tried to ring them i couldnt get through to anyone it was just automated.
    Thanks
