RE: AOL - 6 month free trial - unauthorized charges from MKS Private Plus My wife get a PC through gateway with AOL free for 6 months.

AOL required a credit card in order to be able to use the Internet.

About a month ago MKS company tried to do some charges on her credit card the PFF Bank refuse the charge, we replace the credit card.

AOL requested again a credit card to be able to use the Internet my wife give the debit card of Citi bank to AOL.

On June 12,2003 the company MKS Private Plus process a debit charge for $134.50 and hold the money for 4 days in the mean time City bank bounce 3 check and charge me $30.00 for each check = $90.00 plus the charges for the collector about an other $90.00 Total of $180.00

My wife never give any authorization and information to MKS Private Plus they offered a freed credit report through AOL, she is not dum to pay 134.50 for a credit report.

AOL should not disclosure mi wife personal information to these companies.

I hope to hear from you if not I will take a legal action.
