    Within 24hours of signing up I had buyers remorse and called them. Told them I could not afford program at the time they convinced me to wait a couple of weeks to give it a chance. Called and emailed a few weeks later and was told I could not turn back. They took their first payment on October 27th and the took a second payment unauthorized on nov 10th. Called them and told them to put my money back. They asked me to wait until Nov 15th for them to investigate. Called back phone stated to check number. Have tried calling ******* ********* and ****** all phones out of service stopped payment for upcoming payment on the 28th but now hearing through customer complaints they will try different amounts. Website says ********* permantly closed.

    I talked to them about a consumer proposal, they took the first two payments of $174.83 each, so they could start the process. Each month after that is supposed to be 148 I believe. I've been unable to get in touch with them, they're not answering texts or emails. Also unsuccessful on the phone and actually today the recording says that the number is not listed anymore. I'm hoping you can help me, I really couldn't afford that money and I have no heat right now since my hydro is off
