Hi there,
We hope you can help as this problem is causing major distress and financial strains.
In August my wife agreed to an advert for our Pub to be published, and Paid for this Advert by card over the phone.
Between then and the end of January 09 we had £4,000 in relatively small amounts taken from the same account using card details supposedly given to them by my wife.
On th 3rd Feb 09 we cancelled this card, and the bank are apparently investigating our claims.
Since then we have been innundated by several companies by way of invoice or telephone calls demanding money. Some even say they have a recording of my wife agreeing to these adverts, but on hearing the recording it is not clear about dates times etc.
Some are threatening Legal action which we have said if we know about any court hearings we would attend.
Basically what can we do to stop these dodgy companies harrasing us and possibly get some money back.
The only reason this money went un noticed was we were saving money in this account for our VAT,(which we are now in trouble with as well) and the fact that I lost my mother to cancer and spent a lot of time sorting out her affairs etc.
Once again I hope someone can help us before I completely lose it.
Regards
Trevor Robinson
