TWX Sports Illustrated

Hi.

 

This is personal account in TWX magazine, someone called me over the phone, offering me this magazine for free subscriptions and stop sending this magazine after the free promo. Now as i checked on my Bank Account, i just noted $50 dollars deduction. I want to cancel this but i could not find Customer Service Number to cancel this account.

 

Please advise.

 

Thank You.

 

Richard F.Hurboda

call 1 877 813-0320. You will have to use voice commands to cancel. The "voice" continues to try to sell you more magazines and it will take awhile. Supposedly, it will be credited on my card after "one to two business cycles". I will be making sure this happens!!

Would if I wasnt happy with the magazine? Would of I didnt want it anymore, then get this, they tried to sell me two other magazine subscriptions before hanging up with me. Boy, they have balls!!!

second time I had to cancel TWX. I ordered a couple of mags from my son's school several years back and started getting this one, even though I did not order it. My bank acct was charged and I called TWX. They refunded the money and was suppose to cancel it then. Another charge on my acct - I called them and they said I bought a pair of shoes from Finish Line back in Oct 07, and I signed up for free issues from TWX at that time. I did not sign up for anything at Finish Line and don't plan to shop there any more. Today they said they would cancel my acct and refund the money. I went a little further and asked the bank to re-issue a new credit card, so hopeully this will block TWX from furture changes. TWX is a spam company. Beware!!!

Calling that 877 number worked great. The customer service rep was pleasant and canceled the subscription with zero hassle. Easily my easiest cancellation of all time.

I have received about a dozen of these sports illustrated magazines never knowing where they were coming from. I've been to several web sites and never found a way to cancel them. Finally after about 6 months of these magazines coming in I found a charge for $49.95 on my credit card statement. I called the number provided on my statement(877-747-1054) to complain. I explained to the CS rep that I never made this subscription to SI and that I do not want to pay for these magazines. Within a minute she supplied me with a "cancellation number" and informed me that I will be credited for the amount charged withing 3-5 business days. We'll see.

Richard, This comment is for you or anyone with the same problem.My husband and I ordered cd's from Time Life.They said the were going to send Sport Illustrated on a trial basis.We assumed we would goet something in to mail to subscribe to it if we wanted to continue,we were billed on our credit card instead.I just got off the phone with the partner co. of Time Life which we ordered the cd's from.They are going to put our money back into our account. This is the # I called 1-877-813-0320.I hope it helps.

I also just had this for 24.95 in my credit card today. The customer service people were actually very helpful. When I asked how this happened, apparently it was a purchase I made at Finish Line for of running shoes that had a promo of 2 issues of Sports Illustrated Kids free and then auto renewal for 12 issues. Finish line did not tell me this was happening and I am a very unhappy ex-customer of theirs. (And that explained how SI got my credit-card details) Very bad customer service by the Finish Line cashier/sales rep!!!

Hello,

My name is Jeffrey Shaw and I looked at my bank account this morning and found that you people have taken out $24.95 without my authorization for a subscription. I do not want the subscription, I never wanted the subscription so put that money back into my account and do it now.

try 1-800-528-5000 or www.SI.com

I just had the same problem with this on my bank account & the bank gave me the phone number. Their recording gives you the website. They didn't want to refund my FULL amount, but I told them to refund the FULL amount b/c I didn't ask for it. I've had this problem with PAPA JOHN's & FYE / SAM GOODY adding. It doesn't change the amount due b/c the first whatever months are FREE & THEN they charge the same card used to make the original purchase at the store. SNEAKY PUNKS! I will check ALL of my receipts now. Even if the amount is what I'm expecting.

I have been charged for Sports Illustrated and did not authorize this. My bank account has been debited for about $70.00. Can you correct this and cancel the subscription for all of this? Thanks in advance for your help. We are on a limited income and can not afford this kind of money.

I have a similar problem with TWX for Sports Illustrated and others. I do not recall ever asking for a subscription. If you found any information about how to stop this and cancel please send me an email to the address below.
