WEEK SIX-PRICE

I had problems with a company over their price. They had a come on trial price but charged me full price.

Here is the story-

I was up for 30+ hours last week, that is an important detail.  The company HUDHomesUSA has been sending me emails for months perhaps years.

I hardly ever open unknown emails but I decided to check their link to a marketing offer. They would give a one-month trial to see foreclosed homes lists. The consumer’s credit card would be charged $1.00 then after the one month trial the customer would be charged $49.90 each month if subscription was not canceled.

I copied and pasted the terms to my laptop so there would be no confusion. I always do this. I also wanted to know when I had to cancel the subscription.

Due to being overtired, I gave them my credit card number. Big mistake.

Chase sent me a fraud alert right away asking if I had authorized the $49.90 on my credit card. I clicked I had not authorized that charge. I had to get a new credit card number. The company also charged me for 2 $1.00 charges. With my credit card the company charged me 3 times. 

The upshot is to give your credit card number only to reputable companies that consumers recognize.

Lesson learned. Please learn for my mistake.
