Thanks all. I posted the query late and thought I would check back in the morning. But my nerves are so shot I won’t be sleeping for awhile.
Thanks for the responses. The cancellation form says to mail the package and cancellation form back. I’ll be overnighting it, registered and return receipt.
Don’t ever get old :<(((((((((((

“The cancellation form says to mail the package and cancellation form back. I’ll be overnighting it, registered and return receipt.”
Excellent idea!
As I said, if you gave them a check, call your bank and cancel it first thing in the morning and if you gave them a credit card, call your credit card company and tell them to not honor it and make sure they take a note of your call, ask them for a fax number and fax them also your cancellation and do anything formal you need to do to request that they not honor the charge. Check and make sure that the charges haven’t gone through — hopefully they have to wait the 3 days before they can charge it.
And if you don’t have a lot of regular charges going onto that credit card, you can cancel it and request another one with a different number, and the bank will overnight you another card, terms and everything else stay the same. I recently had a situation where I thought I was dealing with a reputable firm, gave them my CC number — completely different situation than yours — but they didn’t do the work, I got concerned that they may charge my card anyway, my bank was very helpful, changed the card number. The usual “an ounce of prevention” is better than to have to fight it.
I noticed on your home page you are or used to be a computer programmer — so we all know you are smart, but sometimes smart people are the easiest “marks” because they tend to be too trusting, they are honest and think everyone else is.
Hope you will follow through and cancel and keep your money, rather than trying to get it back.
Good luck now and in the future. :)
