I contacted PayLink Direct and requested they cancel my policy in March 2022. The operator argued with me for some time trying to talk me out of canceling my policy. I explicitly told him that I wanted this policy canceled no and he finally said ok. I called the company back in June when I saw the statement and advised I wanted reimbursed. This operator told me to write a letter requesting a refund. This operator stated she canceled the policy this time. I went to the bank and made sure there were no further payments to PayLink. I sent the letter to the address on the web site and have not heard from anyone. I called back on August 16 2022 and this operator said I needed to send it to USAPS *********************************************************Business Response

This company is preying on elderly and unsuspecting individuals. Upon detailed review of my 87-year old fathers financial records, I have discovered that Paylink has been taking automatic debits from his bank account in the amount of $125.10 since August 6, 2019!! This amounts to $3,753 of unauthorized debits!! Apparently it all began through a company called AutoAssure, which also took an unauthorized debit of $198 on July 9, 2019 that appears to have started this whole event. My father is on a fixed income and did not willingly or wittingly sign up for such auto warranty coverage, and has received no documentation of agreement to these debits. I believe this company is a scam and a sham and has deliberately deceived people into believing this so-called coverage was necessary and authorized by their car dealership. I have tried to call the ***** numbers I have been able to find online, to no avail. I demand that Paylink be held accountable for this debit amount and issue a refund immediately, or legal action will ensue. Their practices of taking advantage of elderly individuals is deplorable!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I will consider marking this current issue resolved only once a refund check in the amount of $3,951 has been received by my father and validated through his financial institution and I have received notification that all personal information has been removed as requested below.
Please remove *********************************, *********************** and any associated personal mailing address, email address, phone number and bank account information from all PayLink and ********** databases, mailing lists, contact lists, etc. and assure that the same are removed from ANY databases, mailing lists, contact lists, etc that *** be sold to or shared with any third parties.
Although a refund has been agreed upon, I still believe these companies, ********** and PayLink and their affiliates are knowingly preying on unsuspecting citizens and the elderly with their tactics of tricking folks into believing they are in need of such a service, when in fact they *** not be.

According to Paylink, on December 2021, they began drawing $234.00 out of my husbands checking account. He noticed the $234 00 in July because it threw his account in the negative. First contact with Paylink on 7/22/22 and spoke with ***** I explained my husband including myself was totally unaware of Paylink, who they are and what they do. I explain that they were actually drawing money from my husbands checking account and it needs to be returned. The Rep. starts to point out the benefits of keeping this coverage. He also informed me that the money had been coming out of the account since Dec. I explained that I didnt agree on any car coverage or speak with anyone about car coverage. The rep. then informed me it was a man that they spoke with. I stated that me or my husband knew anything about this coverage and that we had coverage with the company we bought the car from. We are senior citizens and I have been back and forth in the hospital and nursing home with surgeries and rehab. I repeatedly asked for a refund. He then stated, he had the actual recording of my husband giving his account information. But, later stated the recording had been placed in the archives. He also read out my email address and asked if it was correct, which it was. I explain to the rep. that I wanted the money placed back into the account. I told him it was not authorized and it was a fraudulent transaction. He called me hostile and stated he was trying to help me save money. He said I needed to listen and not cut him off while he is talking. Again, I informed the rep. the only reason for this call was to replace the money that was taken out of the account! He stated he wanted to help me but, since I dont need the coverage I can get a pro-rated refund because, I have used the coverage since December and that I will receive a form that will need to be filled out. This is my husbands account, which my name is not on. My is not Kat, My husband actual name was never mentionedBusiness Response

Recently I began receiving phone calls from a company called PayLink Direct saying that my account is past due and that I must pay $180.22 by 7-3-22 or risk losing coverage. The problem is I never signed up for this automobile coverage, I have never heard of this company, never signed a contract, etc. I checked my bank statement and 2 payments of $180.22 have already been deducted from my bank account ...in April 2022 and May 2022. Most recently I received a "past due notification" **** saying they will cancel or modify my coverage if I don't pay on or before 7-23-22. I think this company is a SCAM and I have no intention of paying them anything.I am an organized person and keep separate home files for everything so I keep track of all my bills, credit cards, bank accounts, insurance, health matters, etc and I have NOTHING for this company. I recently had major surgery and I am home recuperating, so I have had the time to look into this. Is there any way of getting my money back?Business Response

I never signed up for any extended car warranty or authorized any money to come out of my bank account from this company or any extended car warranty company. I wish to recoup all monies taken out of my bank account. I first noticed this charge today which is 07/11/2022. It had been taken out on 7/05/2022. So I researched the company that took it out and it says paylink direct veh cov and upon researching I noticed quite a few people have been scammed out of monies. So I went back and checked all my bank statements from September 2021 till now and they started taking money out of my bank account since 11/04/2021 and every month there after, with the most recent one of July 5, 2022. Which I can provide every statement except Julys banking statement because it hasnt been finished out yet obviously. Ive tried reaching out to the number on file to question the charges and its a continuous loop and no one answers. This is unlawful and my money needs to be refunded.Business Response

I purchased a home warranty program. I cancelled this program. It was with Atlantic Pacfic. They sent the refund of $198.00 through PayLink. They have said it would be here within 7 to 10 days for over three weeks now. I called this morning and spoke to a ****. He was very arrogant and said it would be a week to two weeks for this check to come. We are now over a month since this check should have been here. I would like for this company to be investigated and to be able to get my check. Is this company a scam? Please help me as I am on a fixed income and need this check.

We recently bought a new car and paid for the warranty with the dealership. We received fraudulent mail stating we had to call and activate our warranty, during the phone call they demanded we pay $199.75 as a "starting fee" for our warranty. I asked questions and they refused to be helpful, stating I had to pay the money or our warranty would be canceled. They claimed we would receive a booklet in the mail in 2 weeks with our "warranty information" which did not happen. They also claimed this fee would cover us for 6 months, but now am getting charged another $199.75 as of July 1st. I called our car dealership who immediately stated this was a scam and to report it ASAP because we pay for our car warranty with our car payment. We want a complete cancellation of this "plan", removal of all my personal data from their company, and a full refund from 6/01 for $199.75, as well as for this upcoming month which is to be charged 7/1. This is a shameful company taking advantage of people who do not know any better using fear tactics as leverage. I called to complain but was hung up on and ignored. Please address ASAP before we have to take further legal action. They misrepresented themselves as ****** which is illegal!!!!Business Response
