We assumed that since there was no payment made, the memebership is not valid. Just today, I opened a mail from a Law Office who handles legal business matter of Direct Buy. The letter was demanding us to pay the membership or else they Direct buy will file a lawsuit against us. Direct Buy is making it sound like we owe them the full amount of $4,500 for the whole 3 year contract. I felt like we are being "ripped-off" If there is any class action against this company, please contact me.

Wow!
Just wow...

I must admit to being intrigued by Direct Buy commercials, and planning to call their 800 number one day.

The chances, after reading this thread is now zero.

But here is what puzzles me. That group has been advertising for years; commercials pop up almost daily. How can they operate that long without already having a class action suit against them in the pipeline? That would be the beginning of the end. Bad publicity like the information in the link is the kiss of death.

That is the other puzzler... if they themselves are so inclined to threaten legal action as the result of their high pressure scam, why do most people simply roll over?

Is there a good attorney out there reading this?

I expected more from talk radio suggesting companies but then again I’m reminded, buyer beware and thank God to the internet for giving out a warning.

I can’t believe the number and passion and current dates of those warning us.

We had an appointment last month to attend a meeting with Direct Buy. I was really looking forward to it. But it troubled me when the sales rep said I need to bring an ID and a valid credit card. We bowed out of the appointment.

It took years to bring "Smiling Bob" to heel, but this last weekend that company's brass got 20 years for fraud. It just takes time.
