The company address is Suite 1770, 511 E San Ysidro, Blvd., San Ysidro, CA, 92173. Complaint lodger Diana wanted this.
On May 15 I used my Visa card to call the hotel in Madrid, Spain, for directions to their shuttle service. It was about 6 blocks away; the call lasted about 1 minute. The charge is $26.28 plus a $.95 verification charge to make sure my card was valid. At no time did they discuss any charges. I was expecting perhaps $5 because it was an operator assisted call.
I'm going to send the company a letter of complaint. What about a small claims court class action? Anyone with me? My proof is my credit card statement. This charge is so rediculous that the Bank of America fraud dept. thought that the $26.28 charge was a trial posting to see if the card was good.
This is unbelievable.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The call was made from Frankfurt to Atlanta.
I had the same problem. I made a call on 10/9/10 from Frankfurt, Germany. They charged me $50.23 for 6 Min.
