I'm disabled and on SSDI and on medication. My girlfriend is on medications too, and I did not know she could not take other over-the-counter drugs. Plus, I cannot afford a $89.95 charge to my account for a product neither of us will ever use. I was under the impression that I would only be charged $3.95, but they charged me $89.95 even after I called them and told them I did not want or even use their product and could easily return the unopened bottle. They never called me back and lied to me about their records, saying that I never left a message. They said even if I left the message, I was 1 day late and that meant they were going to charge me anyway.
I did not understand this at the time of the free trial offer, I explained to them that I was getting the free trial for my girlfriend and it was never even opened and I would gladly return it. They would not work with me at all and were extremely rude about the whole thing. I was disconnected at least 6 times during the call and had to talk to 4 different people, none of them would listen to my situation or offer to help in any way. They just kept saying that I was going to be charged whether I liked it or not. I still have the unopened bottle that they refused to take back. I don't know what to do at this point. I was deceived by their website and lied to by their customer service, how is this legal? I am even willing to return their product. I tried calling them repeatedly and they hung up on me every time. They would not even listen to my concerns.
On 10/26/11, I went to their website (http://www.avesil.com/) late at night pacific time, technically the 27th in FL, and placed a free trial order. This order shows up in my banking records on the 27th. They claimed it was the 26th, anyway. This makes my free trial end on 11/10/11, but my free trial period actually ended on the 11th per my records. I called on the 11th and have phone records of a 1min 39sec call where I placed a detailed message turning down their product and stating that I wanted to return it and get a refund. They claim I never called and they have no record of this. I saw a banking transaction that my records show I was charged $89.95 on 11/14/11.
I called back today to dispute this charge, and the customer service proceeded to be very rude, hanging up on me and interrupting me numerous times. I finally talked to a person who said (which I have recorded) "I will give you a refund if I am wrong about why you called." I said okay. This person went on for a few minutes and was completely wrong about why I called and when I said that the person hung up on me. I called back to explain that I had recorded the phone call and that the previous person said they would refund my money and then again they lied and told me that they weren't actually going to give me a refund. This whole time, every time I called, they would put me on speaker phone and laugh and badger me in the background all while the customer service was going on for almost 10 min. not letting me speak at all and telling me that I was being rude for not letting the person finish.
I never acted rude, I was using up minutes on my phone and I was trying to state why I called and they would not even allow me a moment to speak before they hung up on me again, simply for holding the previous rep responsible for offering a refund and then denying it. I have some phone conversations recorded and they do state they will give me a refund and now they won't. Besides all this, my Doctor recommended I not take these pills because I have a severe disease called Tarlov Cycts. I explained to the reps this and told them that the money they took was to pay for my vitamins and medication, they were still very rude.
