      I could not find a record of their cancel request nor voicemails from their number.  The customer had assured our agent at the time we processed the order that they were authorized to do so, which we have on recording. 

      I have spoken with the customer and resolved the matter as well as emailed them a confirmation of cancel.  I also dnc'd their number to prevent future contact.  The customer said this was good and they would withdraw the complaint.  Should there be any additional resolution requested, I am happy to help so please let us know.  Sincerely,  ***** Miller

      The customer on the recorded sales call did state and re-iterate that they were authorized to place and purchase the subscription order.  We do not have an incoming voicemail requesting the order be cancelled, however I have emailed the customer confirming this order has been cancelled and their associated phone number has been ***'d.  It appears other members may be active subscribers, so I also provided my direct phone number and invited ***** to call me directly to ensure the order is closed out and any additional phone lines are added to the *** list.  ***** *.

      I have tried multiple times to cancel a magazine subscription with this company, cascade magazine subscriptions via voicemail and emails, I am unable to get ahold of anyone, my calls are never returned, and I have yet to get a response to emails. I began attempting this approximately 2 weeks before a cancellation deadline, and have not gotten a single response in any form from anyone, despite my near daily attempts to get ahold of someone via customer ********************** phone numbers or emails.

      Hello,

       

      We did not show a call requesting cancellation from this customer and the number they left was different than the number on the account.  I have located and confirmed the order was cancelled and emailed the customer a confirmation of this as well.  We assume this satisfies their concerns and appreciate confirmation that the complaint was closed without affecting our rating.

       

      Sincerely,

      ***** *.

      We contacted the customer and confirmed the order was cancelled.  I am DNC'ing her phone numbers and she provided feedback that we will check regarding her difficulty contacting us. She told me she was happy with the resolution and will retract the bbb complaint.   I have provided her with a direct contact number to my desk in the event she needs further assistance from us. ***** *.

      I've read the customers complaint and understand the customers concerns. I've also listened to the original customer-authorized sales call recording between our representative and the golf courses representative, *** ******** The sales call was very courteous, professional, and especially thorough and terms were discussed several times with *** ******* who requested the bill be mailed. Additionally the invoice was explained to come with an obligation to pay within 30 days with no objection from *** ******** The recording is available to the BBB upon request.


      ********** represented that he was authorized to approve the order for the golf course,and as he said, just for the Golf Digest so we processed the 3-year order for $83 rather than all 3 different golf titles. Cascade routinely restarts or renews subscriptions to Golf titles for pro shops nationwide and as a matter of fact, most pro shops subscribe to these titles in-order-to stay current with what their customers are reading and subscribing is typical of what head pros for golf courses across the country choose to do. Not subscribing is unusual.


      We never try to pressure customers to pay the invoices they requested. Also, were not sure why *** ******* encountered connection issues calling our office but after 38 years in business we have never experienced anyone repeatedly having difficulty getting through. Our phone numbers are fully functional.


      Finally,this order has been canceled. *** ******* was the contact for the club but sometimes there are misunderstandings or people change their minds for whatever reason. With that, we have placed this business phone number on our internal "Do Not Call" list. No further action is required, and no further communication will be attempted unless this business requests us to do so.

      IW' have read the complaint and we understand the customer's concern. After several attempts to resolve the order over the phone we were unable to discuss the order details, so we took the liberty to cancel the order.

      The original sales call recording covered the billing terms and comprehension, desire and term details were thoroughly discussed and agreed to. We do attempt to clear balances with follow up calls on unpaid bills as perhaps the intended order was merely overlooked. However, if any customer insists on cancelling their requested order anyway, we always oblige, as we did here.

      We apologize for the communication delays on the matter that was our mistake, but again, we always cancel orders when customers demand we do so. No further communication is required on this matter.

      Thank you

      We were charged $449.99 on our AMEX 7/19/22. We NEVER received a receipt or email and we were never told the charge amount. We have also not received any magazines that I am aware of. I cant recall what all the subscription was even for. Apparently we have used this service before, but I feel that this company is shady and dishonest. I would have never given the ok if I knew what this amount was! I can't get anyone on the phone to take care of this issue.

      Customer was satisfied with our response and the customer tried to redact the complaint due to the fact that this was merely a misunderstanding but was unable to do so. Now it's up to the BBB as to whether or not the company will be allowed to redact.
