Re: point rental liquidators (by Jan V.):

Ruth, It sounds like our circumstances are very similar. We actually cancelled our credit card before any charges could be applied to it and we did not pay the $498. We did however, sign the contract. The following is our post from page 45.

"I received a call today from Sarah Rutten, from IVC, with a caller ID for R & R Venture Group, asking to complete the authorization and processing on “my contract”.

I informed her that I did not have a contract because I didn’t pay the contract closing fee, and I cancelled all authorized payments on the “proposed” contract, making is null and void. She insisted that I still had a contract “in their system” and that they never received a written cancellation notice within 3 business days of the signed agreement, and that I must send a notice in writing in order to cancel. My letter does not acknowledge that a contract still exists because I didn’t pay the closing fee, and I cancelled the “authorized” payment within 24 hours. I told her my assumption was that they would receive that cancellation notice via the Credit Card Authorization process and would have to accept that as their written notice.

Note that their Contract #540714 was used on both the IVC purchase form and the VSI membership form, even though they are supposedly different companies.

Meanwhile, we have already filed a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General’s Consumer Protection office." Since then we have not received any additional communication. If you have successfully stopped your credit card payments then hopefully you are safe from this scam.

Good luck and thanks to all whom are trying to stop these immoral, corrupt jackasses.
