Double billing again!

If I was truly dotty; lets’ clarify that… “DOTTY ADJECTIVE: dot•ti•er, dot•ti•est 1. a.Mentally unbalanced; crazy. b.Amusingly eccentric or unconventional. c.Ridiculous or absurd: a dotty scheme. 2.Having a feeble or unsteady gait; shaky. * 3.Obsessively infatuated or enamored.”* Thanks to Yahoo! Definition dictionary. Well, now I see that I do meet a portion of the criteria for the definitions shown, but it will be up to you to figure out which ones, okay? Gosh, must I tell you everything? Hints are the asterisks, I do believe. Number three is with Hubby of course…any-who, the reason I felt the need to explain was that once again I was almost taken advantage of, by accident so I am told and so the same story goes over and over again. You see, we have four magazines delivered to our home monthly, Southern Living, Coastal Living, This Old House and Better Homes and Gardens and for my year subscriptions I only pay forty dollars a year for all four. But randomly, I receive bills during that same year saying that I only have one more issue left and if I don’t act fast that I will miss my monthly dose of their amazing product. That’s a bunch of hogwash for whenever I call after I look up when they were last paid, since I pay online in my bank’s bill payer account which keeps the dates of my last payments… they apologize profusely and tell me, no Mrs. Blankety-Blank that you are good until November or May or what-have you! Does this happen to you or do you just take them up on their latest offer that is supposedly better than any other they have offered before? I sure hope not! Well, today it happened again but not with my favorite magazines…oh no this time with an organization that helps you enjoy life and give you access to free flu shots or did, and programs and exercise programs and free meals if a love one is hospitalized even if that love one is you! H2u, a national program associated with hospitals all over these United States anyway I checked and I paid my year membership in February on the 7th of 2012, and today I received a bill stating that they miss me and wish I would come back! And so I called them, their main office was nicely on the bill, a toll free number in Nashville, they all have them, ya know, toll free numbers that is? And so I verified that they did receive my yearly membership money, and that I knew since I had my new membership card which tells me it is good until January 31, 2013. And so I asked why they sent me a bill and the young woman said that a few went out by mistake. I said well of course it was a mistake since I told her that, but than I wondered out loud how about the ones who did not question this mistake and just paid double? Ya know, that always worries me, a mistake is an innocent accidental thingy I do believe, but how come all those magazines do it so regularly? To be fair I never had h2u do this before, but their target patrons are mostly seniors who may or may not be as astute as I was and just go on and pay it, without thinking about it… so she handed me over to her supervisor, a fellow named, Sloane. He assured me that it was not that many that it was sent to and that I shouldn’t be concerned basically….but I was, and I told him why and that I thought they should check and contact those people to disregard the double billing! He placated me and said they would take care of it, well I sure hope so! Gouging is against the law, I think? On that note of somewhat of a warning and a bit to think about… allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
