Okay, so we have all been there and done that when it comes to reading the fine print. We have all uploaded, downloaded or payed for something on the computer that asks us to “accept” or “cancel”. Of course we all just want to get to the final page so we agree that we have read the terms and conditions and we agree or accept in order to continue. Am I right or wrong?
Well, I was signing up for information and the info was only supposed to cost me the low low price of $1.99. Now, I can afford that! So I signed right on up, giving them my credit card info of course…and 1 minute later I was in to the site I wanted. It was all good right?
Wrong! My little friend named Subconscious, told me to go online and look at my credit card, so I did. My friend always has good intentions and only looks out for my best interests. What do you know! $22.00 more…had been added to my card. What?!?! I immeadiately called the company who informed me that in the “Fine Print” I agreed to sign up with their partner companies (plural) and I was charged for my new membership.
ERRRRRR……I was mad, and annoyed. I had beed had. I had been too lazy and in too much of a hurry to read the darn fine print. So I canceled with all of the companies. They told me my money would be refunded. This was 12 days ago and no money. I called today and they told me I will not see my money until March 16th. Now how can they take my money in 30 seconds and not give it back for over a month?
The moral of this story: slow down and take the time to read the fine print; especially when giving out your credit card information.
