I have never ordered Parents magazine in my lifetime, nor do I have a desire to! Therefore, why would you be sending me bills? I have never recieved one issue and obviously this bill is in error. On this billing statement that I've recieved, there is not even a phone number to contact you, so it's making it very difficult to resolve this issue. It's sending up red flags! It makes me wonder how many others you have done this too and now from seeing other comments listed here on this site, I can see I am not the only one. Hmm!!
If this issue is not resolved and I continue to recieve bills from you, I will have no other choice than go to my State Attorney General's office so they can deal with your scam artists ways!!

Parent's Magazine toll free number #800-727-3682. Seems as if "cool savings.com" requires a magazine to be chosen to go to the next page when signing up for their services, so if you or someone you know selects the radio button you are signed up for the magazine.....a pain for you and the company to cancel.

I just received a bill for Parents magazine. I have never subscribed to this magazine and haven't received a copy in the mail. Ever! I tried to find a phone number on the "invoice" & on the Parents.com website as well as this site. The only one I found was not even an 800 # so now I have a long distance charge! (Thanks!). I will try the #'s the people in IA & MI listed. I do not have kids. I am not pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant, nor do I have some childcare operation going on. Obviously this is a mistake.
To Whomever is responsible for "customer service"
Please rectify this situation and follow up with a letter via USPS or email, since you already have those addresses. Also, Please post an 800 # on all your sites. Thank you.

I found an "American Baby" magazine in my P. O. Box yesterday. The magazine has someone else's name, but my P. O. Box number. I was unable to locate a phone number to rectify the problem (either in the mag. or on the internet). I also will not waste my time or money trying to correct this error. I guess I will just start pitching the magazines in the trash. Not my problem but at least I tried.

I am frustrated that I can't call a number to talk to someone about my subscription (that they don't even list as one of their magazines)

after purchasing an issue of creative home magazine in the spring, I decided to subscribe. I recieved my first issue, and sent it payment about 4 or 5 weeks later. the payment cleared my bank in May 08. In July I received a notice from Meredith stating the payment had not been received, that is when I verified it had been cleared. I would like to talk to someone to let them know they were paid. About a week after I got the upaid notice, I received the same issue that came with my subscription in the mail again. (summer 08. Something is really messed up. Its ridiculous that they hae no real customer service for such a large corporation

I called 800-888-1181 and spoke with a woman named Kay, ID number 3615. She told me that my "subscription" was ordered through Coolstuff.com in May and that only my name and address were in their records - no payment methods or anything else was entered. I told her to flag my name and address and if ANY order came through their database for ANY magazine they were to note it as fraudulent, cancel the bill and note the magazine as undeliverable. She complied and also canceled my current "bill". This is the second magazine company that has attempted to billed me for a subscription I never ordered. The first was Reader's Digest. This is happening more and more, people. Don't be afraid to DEMAND they tell you how they got your order - even if they try to cut you off or tell you they don't know. Kay did this and when I pressed the topic of legal action she finally told me. It's your "account" and your right - by law - to know how they came to receive it!

i hate companies that do this and I will NEVER NEVER do business with them EVER!!!

I also received a fitness magazine and an invoice for a subscription that I NEVER ORDERED!!

I now have to spend HOURS of my time to contact someone at this company to tell them I NEVER ordered it. I've already spent several hours trying to locate a phone number since they do not include it on the invoice. Then once I located it online from several other people who have had to go throught the same thing ive had to I had to spend an hour on the phone and pay for a long distance call to navigate a series of difficult automatic voice commands for a complicated voice system set up to intentionally make it difficult to find a human being who could tell me why Ive had to spend the last few hours of my life dealing with this . I hate this company!!! When I finally got in touch with a human being they told me that they dont confirm these orders and that anyone can place orders for you. All they need is your address and phone number. So basically , I can look throught the phone book and make a subscription for anyone I damn well please. I urge all of you to locate these peoples home addresses and subscribe them to their own magazines
