Bottom Line unauthorized charge!

I received a package of books today that I did not order from this company. I called the company and was told they would send me a free shipping label to return the books. If they fail to do so, I will contact the State's Attorney.

I recieved a book, TREASURY OF HEALTH SECRETS NE, on 02/22/10 that I did not order, and have now recieved a bill for the book in the total amount of $47.94, or payments of $31.96. I sent the book back unopened on 02/24/10. So I do not plan to pay for the book, and would like to know why it was sent to me in the first place. Nancy Rose

This company's sales techniques are criminal. I canceled my so called subscription after receiving the first book, which I paid for. They sent me the 2009 edition anyway. After calling them, they told me to mark the package as refused return to sender and that they would could cancel my 'subscription'. Several weeks later I received a bill for the book I returned.

That is completely unethical. If they persist I'll probably have to file a criminal complaint. Someone needs to stop these guys.

I received a bill saying I placed an order for a book and agreed to pay $36.92. I did not receive a book from you and at this point I have no idea what book I ordered or if I even ordered a book from you. Therefor Unless I get a book or am told what I ordered from you I am not going to pay you anything. The letter I received from you also said you have not heard from me. I wrote you a letter by hand not too long ago explaining this very situation. Respectfully Jan Rupert

Thank you for this website! It has helped me avert my aunt from ordering from scam companies such as Bottomline/Help and HCI, browse through the complaints. It looks to be a lot like Bottomline.

My mother passed away early 2008, and I am receiving notices also for a book she never received or ordered. They also stated that I have 28 days to pay or it will go to collections. I guess when they call to talk to her, I will give them the address and the phone number of the cemetery where she is buried at. It's the weekend, so I will call on monday and give them a piece of my mind.

Bottom Line recieved an empty box

I recieved a missed delivery ticket from the Post Office, I didn't order anything so I assumed it was a late Christmas gift or something to that effect . When The woman at the Post Office handed me the package which was supposed to contain a book called "Bottom Line Yearbook 2008" from Bottom Line Books, she explained to me that the box had been recieved empty but they are still required to deliver it regardless, in order for the recipient to take action or make new arrangements from whatever company it had been shipped from.
Well the "Bottom Line Is" I never ordered the book in the first place and to make matters worse there was an Invoice attached with a Due On Receipt of Package Bill for $35.90 I was not amused and I will take legal action if they try to collect on this falsely imposed dept.

I received a delivery (an empty package) from the Post Office. Went to the Post Office with the empty package which was supposed to contain books called "Treasury of Health Secrets", "Bottom Line Uncommon Cures" and "Medical Blunders" from Bottom Line Books. He explained to me that the box had been recieved empty but they are still required to deliver it regardless, in order for the recipient to take action or make new arrangements from whatever company it had been shipped from. There was an Invoice attached with a Due On Receipt of Package Bill for $47.54. I have received books from you before and this has never happen. Please advise, what action needs to be taken and I will take legal action if you try to collect on this falsely delivery. The delivery date was February 6, 2008.

Also, please do not send me any books that have not been ordered.

Thank You!

Bottom Line Books keeps sending their annual book despite notes sent to the on the prior bill. These books are unsolicited and there is no apparent way to stop delivery. According to others in this predicament, if you fail to pay for this unsolicited book they threaten to mess up your credit report. This is an out and out criminal scam on the part of thi...

Bottom Line fraudulent sales tactics

Bottom line books
5401 chimney rock rd apt 520
Houston, tx 77081
Phone: [protected] fake phone number (Cell phone number of a woman)
P. O. Box 11014
Des moines, iowa [protected]

Company sells and distributes books ordered on the internet.

I ordered a book "bottom line's power aging", because the company's offer was that if it didn't live up to their hype I could keep the book and would not have to send any money - it didn't and I didn't. If there is any other requirement I was not aware of the company never explained that anywhere; next thing I know they are sending me bills for $35.92, and now they have really aggravated me with their current statement that they are putting me up for collections on that amount.

I have tried to call them but the only number I can find on them is actually a cell phone number belonging to a woman (She told me she has also tried several times to contact them to correct the error, which I think is done purposefully, because so many people call with complaints of their fraudulent sales tactics).

If you have had a similar experience please contact me at my phone number - our strength in numbers may finally get bottom line books to straighten out their act!

Sincerely,

Louis castronovo - [protected]

But they sent another book which arrived today, called bl health breakthroughs2023. My wife and I are both in our 80’s and no longer can afford the subscription-we live on a fixed income.

Addressed to my Dad that passed away three years ago in 2016. I really doubt that he purchased a book while dealing with painful cancer for two years. And even if I knew what BOOK this could have been, the fires of 2017 burned the family home to the ground with nothing saved.
