BillMeLater Complaint - OMG I have been robbed!!!! - Bill

Complaint
Review by Tinker2cute on 2011-08-02
I made a purchase through billmelater and well I never got it, canceled said order on July 3rd 2011 and guess what it has never been credited to my account, I am making payments on something I have never seen!!!! What the heck, I thought that was actually illegal, guess not. I am so upset contact the Missouri attorney generals office. Hopefully now something will happen.

Bill Me Later was acquired by E-Bay in 2008 and is a Pay Pal company.

Under disputes on their T/C's:

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the Purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your Purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
2. You must have used your credit card for the Purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact
us in writing or electronically at:

Bill Me Later, P.O. Box 5018, Timonium, MD 21094

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.

I have seen many complaints about people being billed for merchandise they either never ordered or never received. A common thread seems to be many are indicating "I am making payments...", as in this case. I cannot imagine myself making payments unjustly to any company.

If you are making payments for the sole purpose of saving your credit rating I would follow just_cause's advice. If that does not get your money back the file a small claims case against them.

Do not sit back and let time pass. At the first sign of sandbagging FILE!
