    Make a privacy. Com account

    Change all of your card info to one of theirs for 3 months

    Cancel

    The card

    Or just tell your bank to blacklist them and leave it at that

    You’ll be taking a credit hit either way

    File a complaint with your state’s attorney general and theyll handle it beyond that point when they get to you

      Ahh, reminds me of the gym membership I’d started just a few weeks ago. Small town thing, I knew the owner by name, yet they used an online service that required every little detail of your personal life to sign up, like why use such a thing? I asked him that, and its just because it’s convenient for his small-scale company to use.

      Turns out, it didn’t actually care if your info was right, save for a card to charge. Put in some random driver’s license number and guerilla mail email, just sucks I didn’t have a knockoff phone number.

      It really makes you wonder, why need all that? I know the answer, I just wish I could see it with my own two eyes, what all data brokers do dealings for that info.

      Why would you take a credit hit. It seems like once a year, something random comes up in a credit card statement, and requires a dispute. Those aren’t sent to credit agencies AFAIK, although i’ve never been ruled against any, so I’m not 100% about this.
