I received two videos from Girls Gone Wild. I did not order them and need advice on what to do. I am closely monitering my credit card statements and bank charges.

Girls Gone Wild will not stop charging me for video that are repeats. I carefully explained that I wasn't interested but keep receiving 26.00 charges. This is an outrage.

Got a couple videos online for my dad.  I did not realize I was signing up for a monthly DVD program.  I have called repeatedley and sent emails to cancel and I still keep getting the DVD's and getting billed 36 each month for DVDs I do not want.

I ordered a product from a complete different site and just before finishing the order it asked if I wanted two Girls Gone Wild DVDs for One Dollar. It didn't say anything about anymore coming in the mail every month. When I received the first extra DVD I returned it unopened, and to my surprise a charge showed up on in my account. I never even gave them my information so I didn't think they could charge me. The other site must have given them my information. I called GGW and they said they would refund the charges but yesterday another DVD showed up, and the first charges never were refunded.

On 8/10 Kendulle contacted me by phone and offered 2 free GGW DVDs for a handling charge of 9.99. She promised to bill my checking account on 8/14. Kendulle called 8/14 to ask about an ISF rejection by the bank when I was billed 8/10. I told her I'd removed these funds 8/9 as I was suspicious. She asked if she could bill my account a second time. I very clearly refused and requested no further interaction with GGW or Vivid Entertainment. Kendulle agreed.

On 8/17 GGW billed my account 16.98. I called to protest. I was told to return the DVDs at my expense and await repayment by the supervisor, Amy. Amy rudely asserted any complaints or action on my part would require an attorney and ultimately, the situation would be your word against ours.
