The Money Club????

Chrissy29

Hi everyone

i found this string, after being stung by the money club.
They rang me on 12th May and sent out a pack, letter dated 13th May, i received on 16th May. £98 was taken out of my account on the 9th june, less than 4 weeks. I called just on 6 o'clock could not get through. I rang the next day exactly 4 weeks from the date of the letter to cancel. They then sent me an email stating that i had to cancel in writing, which i then did and asking for a refund as i had cancelled within the 4 weeks, also stating that i had not received a call as promised with my welcome letter. If i had I would have cancelled then. i received a letter stating they had not received my cancellation within 4 weeks and enclosed a letter which states i have to cancel in writin - which i did not have in my original pack. 2 letters later - still receiving they are still saying the same - even though i can't log onto their website - so they have my money but can't use their service either !!!!!
I will be taking this further

I was approched in the street by two reps of the Money Club just over 2 months ago. I was on my way to an interview and really had no idea what I was doing. I naively signed on the spot (lesson learned) and a few days ago almost £100 was taken from my account. I today cancelled the DD on my banks website so they at least cannot take any more (correct??).
I really don't have the money to waste and I do I can get it back. I have phoned them to explain and was told they would get back to me. Yeah, ofcourse they will.
I'll update if anything comes of it.

Anyone got any advice?

Sorry but I cant believe people would hand over their name, address, bank details, signature (& perhaps DOB) to strangers in the street! does this really happen?

OMG just been duped by these people. Ever so nice man talked through savings etc. 4 week trial for £1 then £98 year ( i thought id just check out the savings and then cancel ) after reading you posts in a blind panic ive contacted the bank to tell them what an idiot ive been, i have to get a letter to them tomorrow and they will look out and cancel the D Debit, i asked if Money rip of club could present the DD in future and luckily they cant. Thats me to the bank at 9am. Wish id of gone with my instinct and not agreed.

I had 2 emails from these asking me to "click the link" to activate my account, I have ignored them, then today they phone, partner took the call, didn't know anything about them, but just asked them to put any info in the post. They were saying that we would get 50% of every purchase back for just paying £1 !

I can only assume they got my details via a competition I have entered?

I shall be giving them short shrift.

I was foolish enough to fall for the £1 free 28 day trial and asked that they defer the start until I returned from holiday as it was pointless to have a trial on something that I wasn't in a position to use. They disregarded my request for delaying the start and upon return from holiday I found that it had already started. Ever the optomist I thought that I'd wait before cancelling and see if their offers were any good but when I tried to book a hotel room I found that I could get far cheaper deals by looking myself online. When I phoned to cancel they sent me an email to say that the membership would expire in a year's time. I got straight on to my bank who have immediately refunded the money to my account under the DD indemnity agreement (it was showing as credited before I even finished the call to them - well done Santander!!) and I would recommend anyone else to call your bank without delay. They also recommended that I keep ckecking my account to ensure that the Money Club doesn't set up a new DD.
The Money Club are obviously scammers, albeit very professional sounding ones, so please do not give them any of your details.

Had a call for them today (from 01753 441 520), asking for the missus. They had her name and address (and obviously phone number!).

I immediately asked how they had her details, which the caller ignored and went on to her sales pitch. When I interrupted her with "Stop. Back-up a bit. Where did you get her details?" she replied "No I won't back-up!" and promptly hung up the phone! If only all cold callers were this easy to get rid of!

Anyway, from reading on here it jogged my memory, and the missus did indeed take part in some telephone survey recently, and despite me shaking my head and making all sorts of gestures, she gave her name and address - due to her being assured it wasn't a sales call, and out of politeness ("it's only someone trying to do their job") - and answered 'yes' to the magic question; "do you want to save 50% on your shopping?" which means these survey pr1cks sell your details on to these scammer pr1cks.

I *think* the survey was done by Kantar Operations. I'm going to be pestering them and the Money Club for quite a while...

I have just found that The money club have taken £98 from me, the Bank need me to phone the money club but I never got any information sent to me and cannot find any contact information.Can anyone help as I can't do anything without getting hold of The Money Club

they have just called me off 01753 441 520, and insinuated that I had signed up & asked them to call me (I hadn't) When I asked if it was a joke & there was no way I was giving my bank details over the phone she hung up on me!! rude & seems like a scam!! should the police be notified as grannys could easily get sucked in by this it is quite intimidating & not fair.
