PERCEIVED FRAUD AND DECIPT

This is a slight corrected post of a post I only posted a few minutes ago with grammar and punctuation corrections.
I went into Camping World in Berkely MA to buy one or two things. As it always happens we bought about $200 worth before we got through. I asked to renew my Good Sam membership so I could get the good discounts at Camping World. So far so good. NOW I was asked to use the charge card machine to answer "a survey" which I did agree to, it asked personal questions but that was ok since I thought it was for my Good Sam Card. The clerks were very VERY helpful, no complaint there BUT what occurred and I did not know until I got home is this: THAT "SURVEY" was an application for a VISA card from CampingWorld Comenity Card which I do not want nor did I get asked if I wanted it. ALSO I saw while in the store that I was being charged for 2 years for Good Sam not 1 year but the clerk said there was a special and instead of $50 it would be $25 so I thought OK. NOW at home and find out they applied for a VISA card for me WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ME. I called Comenity Card Customer Service and CANCELLED the card that I NEVER APPLIED FOR knowingly!! BUT they tell me the whole transaction of charges are on the NEW CARD not the card I swiped at the store. SO NOW I WILL HAVE A BILL FROM A CARD I NEVER KNEW I APPLIED FOR OR USED. I charge on a specific card of mine that gives me rebates of $$$ for all purchases. I DO NOT WANT ANY OTHER VISA CARD(I already have a Visa card) AND DO NOT WANT THE CHARGES ON THAT CARD. I WAS FRAUDULENTLY SIGNED UP FOR THE VISA CARD AND THEN THEY CHARGED MY PURCHASES ON THE NEW CARD. I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. NOW HAVE TO TRAVEL ABOUT 50 MILES TO THAT STORE TOMORROW TO RETURN ALL MERCHANDISE TO HAVE IT CREDITED TO THAT CARD, THEN CHARGED TO THE CORRECT CARD I HAVE AND SWIPED AND THOUGHT IT WAS BEING CHARGED TO. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN, BEWARE WHEN GOING TO CAMPING-WORLD, THEY WANT TO SIGN YOU UP FOR A VISA CARD AND NOT TELL YOU AND THEN CHARGE YOUR PURCHASES TO SAID CARD WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION!!!! I wonder what the payback is from Comenity Visa Card to CampingWorld, hmm. BE VERY CAREFUL
  • You know you can just go to your original post and click on edit and then you can modify it to suit your needs. No need to start an additional post.

    Hope you get everything straighten out.

  • Actually I do not see that the first note posted or your response to my post. I am going down tomorrow to try to straighten it all out but one must admit that was not good business to sign someone up for a VISA card by asking someone to sign with the customer thinking they were signing for renewal of Good Sam Club.
