Blockbuster Complaints - They charged me $61 after I cancelled my membership

They charged me $61 after I cancelled my membership
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
Company information:
Blockbuster
United States
www.blockbuster.com

I was tired of Blockbuster using my checking account as their own IOU fund (no late fees means they help you buy the movie when it is late and if you bring it back within 10 days...you get a store credit but not a refund), so I decided to cancel and switch to netflix. I deleted all the movies in my Q and returned the last of my movies.

I tried to cancel my membership at the store but they said Blockbuster Online is a different division of the company. I had to cancel online. So, I went home and cancelled. The next morning I checked my bank account and discovered that Blockbuster charged me $61 for the movies I turned in 12 hours earlier.

They won't resolve the issue saying that I am no longer a member and am not eligible for in-store credit. So, I get to keep 3 crappy movies that cost $20 each. Their previously viewed movies sell for 4 for $20. Go figure!!! The only positive I can think of is that there is a reason why their stock is about $3 a share and with this kind of moronic management, they will hopefully go bankrupt soon.

I found out that if you do'nt return a movie by the due date (even though they claim no late fee's) they help themselves to your bank account because they keep your debit or credit card on file, they then charge you the sale of the movie with no warrning and no receipt to indicate a transaction has taken place from your account, then when you turn in the movies they are suppost to refund your money to your bank account within 30-days, I had some bank fee's did some digging and found all kinds of charges by blockbuster!! suprise! It's on your agreement plan when you sign up to be a member in itty bitty print, next time I'll bring my attorney to help me fill out.

Actually you don't get charged right after the due date, you get 10 days from the due date. Just to make sure you know they also give automated calls to let you know that something is going to sell. You have 30 days from that day to bring it back for a refund less a 1.25 restocking fee. If you can't manage to get a movie back in roughly 6 weeks... then I say that's your own fault. The people who keep them out that long are the same ones whining in the store when what they want isn't there. And on the note about the terms only being on the initial membership try reading a reciept, as every single one says the policy regarding late items at the bottom.
