  Wantable charged $275.00 from my card but did not apply it to my balance. They then, in turn, sent the account to collections without crediting the amount paid. They literally stole my money and are continuing to ignore my requests for assistance.

  **** paid a $21.06 styling fee up front on 10/14/24 when her order was placed. Her order was delivered on 10/19/24. We did not receive any returns from Leahs order, which caused her order to go into a delinquent status for the balance of the items in the amount of $391.72 after we deducted her styling fee she previously paid.
  
  Section 6 of our Terms and Conditions state: If your payment method fails for merchandise kept, we reserve the right to bill you in increments until the total amount due has been paid. We reserve the right to use any eligible payment method or combination of methods we have on record to collect the amount owed. In this case, we attempted to retrieve payment for her order in full and also in $25 increments from 11/2/24 - 12/15/24. We successfully received 10 partial payments of $25 on the following dates:
  
  11/19/24
  11/22/24
  11/26/24
  11/29/24
  12/1/24
  12/3/24
  12/6/24
  12/10/24
  12/13/24
  12/15/24
  
  This brought Leahs balance down to $141.72 at that time. However, Leahs order unfortunately remained delinquent for the remaining balance for over 30 days which caused her order to be submitted to a third-party collections agency on 12/17/24. When her order was submitted to the third-party collections agency, all existing discounts, including the 20% discount we offer for keeping 5+ items, were voided at that time which brought her balance back to an existing total of $379.69. Store credits and discounts cannot be applied to delinquent accounts. **** can pay this balance by reaching out to the collections agency she was submitted to.

  ******* placed an order with us on 10/2/24 and was charged a $21.40 styling fee. **************** order shipped out of our facility on 10/3, and before her order arrived, she filed a dispute through ****** on 10/5/24 for the $21.40 styling fee that was charged when her order was placed. ******* reached out to us via email when her package was delivered on 10/9/24 to tell us she couldn't locate it. Our team responded to her on 10/12/24 to give her the details of where her delivery was left and to allow her extra time to locate it. ******* reached out to us again on 10/15/24 to tell us that she still hasn't received her package. We responded to her on 10/16/24 to let her know that she would need to drop the dispute with ****** so we can further assist her and take care of this. She refused to drop the dispute, so we were unable to refund her and assist her further. The dispute was won in Wantable's favor on 11/7/24.

  I went on wantables website to remove my card information to prevent any surprise charges to my card. There is no place on the website to remove your own payment information. I reached out to customer service via email on 8/13/24 and was told the issue would be escalated and they only gave me the option to change my payment info, not to delete it. I emailed them back a follow-up on the 16th and got no answer. I sent a new email stating this was the 2nd request on 8/17/24. I was again told that this matter would be escalated to the appropriate department. 3 days later, on 8/20/24, my card info was still active on their website so I sent a 3rd request and let them know I had also filed reports with the *** and ************************* I was then told for a 3rd time that my request was being escalated. As of today 8/21/24, this has still not been resolved.

  Wantable has introduced a new software and technology within our emailing system. The unfortunate news is that we experienced a few issues along the way with receiving emails on our end. Unfortunately, we missed Sylvias emails from 8/13 - 8/27 due to this technical issue within our system. However, once this was fixed, we were able to successfully receive Sylvias emails after this date and made sure her account and information was deleted as of 8/28. ****** does not have to worry about anything moving forward, and her account no longer exists.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
  
  
  To say they didn't receive my emails is a lie. I have the emails from wantable in my inbox as proof. The emails were also attached to this complaint showing responses directly from them. I'm not talking about the automated response saying it's been received but I have those too! Where is the business proof they claim they didn't receive? I received responses back from customer service **** who claimed to be escalating my issue and even offering to personally make sure my request is handled that day! (Which obviously never happened and prompted me to look into my rights). This business does nothing but cheat and lie! Something needs to be done about this type of practice. It's needs to stop being allowed and liars need to be called out. If this business has cheated others in this way and lied about it I encourage them to reach out to the same authorities. We have to let them know this is happening because if we stay quiet, things will never change. They're hoping that once they deleted my info after, I presume, getting tired of me emailing them, that I will just bow down and disappear. Nobody was taking action so I sent them multiple messages a day and it was shortly after that they finally did something. It wasn't the **** or bbb or attorney general. It took literal spam to wave a flag in their face that I am not stopping until MY BANK CARD INFO IS SURRENDERED. So, no, I am not satisfied with their response. They took no accountability for what they did wrong.

  To clear up any confusion or misunderstanding, the technical errors we encountered were regarding our artificial intelligence model we launched a few weeks ago. Our model replied to ******** emails but did not redirect and escalate to our **************** team as intended, which is why we did not see these emails until 8/27. Rest assured, we did successfully retrieve ******** emails from our system that she sent from 8/13-8/27. However, we did not retrieve these and fulfill ******** request until 8/27 when our model was fixed. ******** request to remove her information has been honored, and her account has been deleted since 8/27

  I asked this business not to charge my card, they did anyway.I returned the merchandise last week and my card remains uncredited.

  

  Business response

  07/29/2024

  When *****'s returns weren't scanned in by her due date of July 10th, 2024, our system reserved the right to billed her for all 7 items in the order after a 5-day grace ******* on July 15th. ***** reached out to us via email on July 16th, after she was already billed for the order, which is why the request to not charge her card was void. However, her returns were since scanned in on July 16th, so we issued a full refund in the amount of $455.38 on July 26th when she followed up regarding her returns. Refunds typically take 1-3 days to process, so she should see that refund posted back to her form of payment on file at this time. We are always happy to provide extra time past the allotted due date in the future if necessary. We ask that she reach out to us before she is billed, so we can honor extra time.

  I did not authorize wantable to charge my card $365.50 for items that I never received or authorized. I would like a refund because they took money out of my account without authorization.

  **** placed an order with us on May 19th, 2024 and this order was successfully delivered to her address on file on May 25th. Those details have been attached. On May 26th, **** processed self-checkout for her order and provided detailed feedback for each one of the items she received in her shipment and what she liked and did not like about them which insinuates that she did successfully receive this package. Those details have been attached. Her returns for what she didn't plan to keep were set to be back in the mail by her due date of May 30th. Unfortunately, we never received any returns from this order, which caused her order to go delinquent. We sent multiple emails along the way when her returns were overdue, and each time we attempted payment on 6/3, 6/6, 6/11, 6/16, and 6/18. Since her payment method failed for the merchandise kept, we reserved the right to ***************** in increments until the total amount due was paid. This is why she was billed in full for all of the items in the amount of $365.50 on 6/21. We would be happy to accept any returns back as long as they are unworn, with the tags attached per our return policy.

  ***** reached out to us in a timely manner about a missing item in her package. Our team overlooked this communication from the customer, which caused ***** to be wrongfully billed for an item she never received. As of 6/11/24, we can confirm that the account was removed from collections and collections also removed the account from the credit bureau. ***** does not have a balance with us at this time and her account is up to date.

  Middle to end of 2023 and now into 2024 I've had nothing but disgusting, pitiful, and pure dishonesty from this company. First issue, had an edit that was said to have been delivered however it never was truly delivered. They said they would replace the edit free of charge and wouldn't count against my next scheduled edit, instead I would get the replacement box at the same time as my next edit so to consider it an "extra" yeah well that imaginary box they so generously "gifted me" was a lie. Not only did I return the entire box bevause it was awful, they even charged me for the entire box which i refuse to pay for since it WAS RETURNED!! Dont let me forget how they sent that to collections too. Longer story short, there were 2 other edits received in the middle of this whole thing, both of which I needed more time to return. I asked for and was given the time. Well during that time they were still trying to charge my card for the full amount DAILY sometimes several times a day or lower amounts even. Whatever they thought they could get away with. I had to block my card because of this. Well they finally were successful in taking $433.90 for an edit they got back as promised. Plus $50 for boxes they never even sent! They promised the refund upon arrival of the items I had to return. They got back every item they ever sent to me BEFORE they due date agreed upon. What do they do for me? Charges for Style edits well over $1000 sent to collections along with failing to issue promised refund that they now say they just can't issue because the account it was taken from has been closed so they have no other way to refund the money. That's a load of trash!! The account was closed because of their fraudulently and dishonest transaction attempts and now they want to tell me I'm SOL and have to kiss that money goodbye when THEY HAVE ALL THE ***** AND MY MONEY?! NOT OKAY. I'm sick of their dishonesty and lies. So I have contacted an attorney and I'm goin all the way

  From October 2022 to January 2024, ********************* created multiple accounts with Wantable, and when sent "try before you buy" orders, kept items without paying for them. Of those accounts created, **** has multiple accounts that are delinquent and have been sent to a collections agency due to lack of payment.
  
  Most recently, **** was appropriately billed for one order, and within 17 minutes of billing, **** disconnected and deleted their Paypal account. It was confirmed by both **** and Paypal Support that a refund could no longer be issued as the Paypal account had been completed deleted. **** refused to reinstate the Paypal account. Typically in situations like this, the account is deleted to avoid future billing for other owed balances on the account.
  
  **** then requested for Wantable to cut a check to refund this transaction, which was refused. Wantable was not able to refund any alternative payment methods due to the excessive fraudulent activity, multiple names used, and addresses associated with ****. Wantable was not able to verify the identity of the account holder as the account has multiple names associated with it. 
  
  Under normal circumstances, the amount of the refund would be applied as store credit if the original payment method could not be used; however, due to Saras actions and violations of Wantable's terms and conditions, it was not possible in this situation, considering the fraudulent activity. 

  We are continuing to offer to work with **** through the respective collections agency their account was submitted to and will be happy to negotiate with the value of the returned items in mind.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
  
  Your ASSUMPTIONS of my character are completely inappropriate and, unethical and incorrect. Don't tell me there is fraudulent activity associated with my name because that has no basis in this not to mention is an ASSUMPTJMION with which nobody bothered to TALK TO ME about during what activity you claim was going on. If I was fraudulently making transactions or accounts or whatever you said, then why would you allow that go happen to begin with? If there are so many unverifiable accounts associated with my name, normally a company would respectfully reach out to the individual and ask for clarification, and in this case that never happened. Never once did anyone contact me in regards to this and like I said, if that were the case, why would you allow such "fraudulent activity" to take place. 

  If there were missing items from the returned items sent back then again, why would you allow for further business? I am not a thief and I don't appreciate the claims you make about me. Yes I had TWO different accounts because I moved to a new house ***** the change of address and email address. Didn't know that was an issue I apologize. I will accept responsibility for having a different account and address but I resent your accusations of ANY of this being fraudulent. 

  Zero efforts have been made to resolve this issue. Not to mention when the charge was first made, I had spoke with an associate who told me the return would be made once the items were returned. The items were returned. And the reason my PayPal account was closed had nothing to do with your company. That's a private matter and Whether it was 17 minutes or 17 years after you took the xbarve out, isn't for you to decide was made with dishonesty by me. There are other payment methods linked to that PayPal account with which payments still would have been completed from. Therefore there are still payment methods that the refund can be issued to. And yes I did suggest to send a check because that's money I am owed. I don't have the product, or the money which was promised to have been refunded to ME not collections, which is another issue. The lady told me I was approved to come up with a payment plan to get the other two edits paid for, she said once I figured out a plan that would work with my finances to let her know and she would gladly set that up for me. And the next day as I am submitting my plan she informed me she sent it to collections and her entire attitude towards me changed. You guys make me feel like I'm a filthy thief just trying to pull on over on you and I'm incredibly offended by that. You guys sent items to my collections that are not even mine! And there is no explanation for what they are but i can assure you everything i got dekm you was returned. I don't even know what those other charges are for. 

  IM not trying to be hateful or disrespectful in any way. All I want is to be treated like a person and not be labeled a fraud. Because that's wrong. You can say what you want about your beliefs and continue to dismiss everything I say like what's been happening, but please don't say you've made valient efforts at coming to a solution regarding in be it a refund or me or collections. No attempts have been made. The only diagloge about this disaster had been initiated by me and only me. I regularly ask for updates and am always told I'm wrong and there's nothing you can do for me, and I'm treated like a low life. That's just the truth. There's been no attempts made in trying to resolve this issue. None. All I asked for was what I was promised in the beginning but more importantly for what is rightfully mine! You got your product like you should have so what gives you the right to decide when, how, and if I deserve to be given my money back. You're with hold my money based on past transactions you accuse me of not sending back....that's not right. Not true and not right. I don't know how that seems like a valid reason. The past has no place in the current situation. This is on jts own. So please just meet me in the middle or something....this is crazy.

  Unfortunately, we are not able to discuss the specific details or balances of collections accounts or publicly provide information regarding personal and financial details. 
  
  We again implore the customer to contact their respective collections agency and we will be happy to provide additional information and discuss the matter further. 
  
  We have worked with the customer and PayPal in an attempt to resolve this, however, the customer has refused to reinstate the PayPal account used as the primary billing method. 
  
  Wantable will not under any circumstances, issue a refund to an alternative payment method and the customer agreed to the terms and conditions before enrolling in several subscriptions and placing orders. 
  
  Wantable is always happy to work with customers and do not wish to send anyone to collections. However, as **** repeatedly created new accounts under false names, we were left with no alternative.

  You have not attempted to work with me or PayPal regarding this issue. I have spoken to PayPal countless times and they have never been contacted by you regarding this issue. So that's another lie. And I'm not refusing to reopen my account, I already informed you via email long ago that it was open and you can issue the refund. 

  There is nothing the credit company can do...you owe me the money, not them. 

  If you're not going to refund me my money the least you could do is send me edits equal the the amount since I already paid for them. But I'm guessing that won't happen either.

  We have spoken to PayPal and conriemd thee account is closed, and therefore we are not able to process a refund for ****. This PayPal account was confirmed closed by you in a previous communication on February 1st:
  
  If you have to issue a check or whatever. I have the card number of the account the money was withdrawn from, the card that it was taken from was linked to the PayPal account that is no longer active for fraud reasons. So the refund can be issued to the card it was withdrawn from, not from the PayPal account itself.
  
  If there is confirmation on Saras behalf that the PayPal account has been re-opened, we request that she provide a statement or confirmation showing the PayPal has been reopened. 
  
  We would be happy to credit the funds of ***** return to her current collections balance with the 3rd party collections agency. She can contact the collections agency for more information.

  I have been a customer of ********************** for a few years, It's a clothing subscription service. I had been receiving the active and style edit and how the service works is:1. You pay a styling fee of $22-25 for them to send you a box of clothing items based on your tastes and size.2. They send the box, you try things and send things back you don't want to keep.3. They charge for the things you do keep.4. You can request an extension if you are having a hard time deciding what to keep.I requested an extension for both the active edit and style edit, and that was granted.However, I send back most of the style edit items and kept some of the active edit items. The issue i am having now is:1. I can't access my account online bc they have locked me out - I have requested (via email) to have it unlocked but they will not respond to that request.2.Without access, I can't see what I've purchased or what balance I owe.3. They have sent my account to "collections" yet will not tell me how to get in touch with collections. I have a request for that information currently going.4. They have charged $350 of my debit card, but will not send me an invoice. They claim they send requests earlier in December to collect, but did not. I have checked and there is no record of those requests.I need help getting my account unlocked and ceasing payments until I have a full understanding of the charges.

  -*******: Multiple emails? this is not correct. Between November 2023 and February 2024, I
  only received emails regarding the latest style edit, or the order is on its way. There is only one referring to collecting any money on 11/9, a payment error. My card had an issue and they were not able to process. There were definitely NOT multiple requests for payment. Please see graphic screen shot from my email. As you can also see, there were NO emails between December and January from Wantable.
  
  -Our Response: Between December 5th - November 10th, 2024, ******* was sent 6 email notifications regarding her failed payment for the 5 items she kept from her Style Edit, one of those final emails being the notice that the Style Edit was sent to collections. These were sent on December 5th, 8th, 13th, 18th, and February 10th. The proof of emails with the timestamps has been attached. Between December 7th - November 10th, 2024, ******* was sent 6 email notifications regarding her failed payment for the 7 items not returned from her Active Edit, one of those final emails being the notice that the Active Edit was sent to collections.  These were sent on December 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and February 10th. The proof of emails with the timestamps has been attached.

  
  -*******: I tried to log in at the end of January because I knew I had another active and style
  edit coming up, and I usually request items for the upcoming edits ahead of time. Also, there had been some mysterious charges that went through my Venmo totaling $350 throughout December, January, February. (Those were the images I sent in my original complaint.) I wanted to check on what the charges were for. However, I was LOCKED OUT of my account at that point, so I had no way of checking the status of my account or pay a bill.

  -Our Response: Heathers account was not locked until the two orders were sent to the collections agency on February 10th, 2024. ******* had full access to log into her account to make payments, view her orders, or update her card on file. If a payment method fails for merchandise kept, Wantable reserves the right to bill in increments until the total amount due has been paid per our Terms & Conditions. The 14 partial payments between both of these orders totaled $350.00. ******* has a remaining balance of $316.90 for the Style Edit and $327.50 for the Active Edit.

  
  -*******: Please note that it was ME who called them, not the other way around. Yes, I wanted to cancel my edits because of being locked out and the mysterious charges. I also was offended by some of their Instagram posts and felt it was best to move on.

  -Our Response: ******* reached out to us via email for this correspondence on February 11th, 2024. Wantable records and saves all phone calls and does not have a record of a phone call with her at this time. The proof of email correspondence has been attached. When these two orders were submitted to collections on February 10th, 2024, her account was canceled and locked at that time.

If she needed assistance logging into her account or was having trouble with her password, we were available to help by phone, chat, and email at that time. ******* did not reach out for assistance. Proof of her having full access to her account and that it was not locked until February 10th, 2024 has been attached.

  *******: My response someone from the company should have called me being my long standing business with Wantable.
  Overall, give me access to the account, so I can SEE what I am paying for. THAT is the
  issue.

  Our Response: We communicated with her in the manner we had been corresponding previously and in how we typically communicate with customers. At this time per regulations with the collections agency, she must work through them for further information, details, and resolution.

  Please note that they have not supplied me with proper access or receipts/invoices to see what I need to pay for - I will not pay this until I have access to that information. Wantable has drawn $350 from my account without consent.

  I created an account via my ****** account Sunday evening, September 03, 2023. I paid for my order and that was that. I tried to login today September 05, 2023 and was unable to do so. I reached out to their support and almost immediately I saw an email notification from them that stated my order was canceled. Weird, I know it was paid for already. I ask them about it since I was already chatting to them. I was told that because I used my sisters shipping address, that I could not order from them. Her ex is the responsible party and no longer even lives at that address. I ask them if I can just update the address info instead. No, because the debt is now assigned to me even though they verified it is not my account or my debt. NO I can't create a new account with different address for shipping, because they've tied my information to the delinquent account, even though IT IS NOT MINE. The customer service representative as well as the supervisor both told me, "You should tell your sister(her ex) to pay their debt to us. Then we can serve you. We've verified it's not your debt, but because you know them..." I just wanted to do business with them. Debts are held by an individual, not an address, unless the entity is a business, which I am not. I just want the business to fulfill MY order, as I DO NOT owe them a debt.

  ******* placed an order with us using her sisters address on September 3rd. Our security indicators flagged that *******s sister has an account with us with an outstanding delinquent balance. ******** sister also attempted to create a new account the same day that ******* placed her order, September 3rd. This raised another flag with our security indicators. Due to the outstanding balance on her sisters account at the same address, ******** order was canceled and refunded. ******* reached out to us by chat and phone and asked why her order was canceled. We explained that her sister currently has an outstanding balance with us at the same address and we cannot do business at this time until that is paid. We also explained to ******* that once her sister pays her outstanding balance, we would be happy to continue any additional orders at this address. We did not tell ******* that the debt is assigned to her.
   
  ******* also asked if she was able to change the address so it didnt relate to her sister, in which we explained that, unfortunately, due to the fraudulent activity committed on the previous account by her sister or "ex", we are unable to process the order or do business at this time until that is paid. 
  
  Per section 5 of Wantables Terms and Conditions, it states that we reserve the right to refuse to process an order due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity. If we suspect fraudulent, unauthorized or illegal activity, we may reject your order or we may contact you at the phone number or email address you provided to confirm your order. We also reserve the right to cancel any orders or refuse to ship to certain addresses due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity.

  I was not aware that my sister attempted to make a new account. Im not her, and again. A debt is owed by an individual not an address. I do not life at that address nor do I owe the company anything. The representative and their direct supervisor told me that I should reach out to my sister and suggest she pay her debt. I have committee no fraud and I am an innocent party in all of this. They should not be allowed to tie my name to an address and debt that is not even mine. If which they know it is not mine. My card had my name on it, and I should not be faulted for something a separate individual had done, regardless of relation to them. I paid for my style edit and having never used their service, I should not be penalized for something unrelated to me. Again, debts are assigned directly to an individual, not to an address. I am NOT the individual that owes them a debt nor am I under ANY obligation to tell that individual to pay the debt owed. The company did not employ me as a debt collector so they should never have suggested that I solicit that individual so that I as an unrelated third party could use their service.

  Wantable claims I owe a debt/ money to them and sent it to a debt collector claiming as of 9/26/2022 that i owe three different amounts of debt and three different account numbers. I have disputed the debts and requested collections be stopped and notified collections by certified mail. I do not owe any money to Wantable *** I returned all items by return dates. Wantable tried to pull money from my bank acct over twenty times different amounts and at different times and my bank suspected them as fraud and closed my acct. ********************** sent wrong sizes, described items sent that were wrong description of what they sent, sent items stylist was told nort to send and each time I emailed customer service at ********************** it was several different ones replying saying different things. I returned all items sent to me by the return dates and do not owe any debts of any amounts to Wantable or collections. I dispute this and do not want my credit ruined by a horrible dishonest company with dishonest employees that keep returned items and claim customers didn't return them. Wantable should no longer be allowed to do business. Resolution requested is claim of debts dismissed/cleared and out of collections !!!

  ******* started her account with us at the end of June 2022. Her first order was returned to us and processed on July 20th, 2022. The return bag was not tampered with and was safely and securely closed upon receiving. When our fulfillment center processed her first order of returns, we attempted to charge her for 6 out of the 7 items that we did not receive back. ******* reached out to our customer service team and said she returned everything. We took care of the 6 items that ******* said she returned to ensure she was not billed.
  
  ******** second order was returned to us and processed on August 2nd, 2022. The return bag was not tampered with and was safely and securely closed upon receiving. When our fulfillment center processed her second order of returns, we attempted to charge her for 6 out of the 7 items that we did not receive back. ******* reached out to our customer service team again and said she returned everything. We took care of the 8 items that ******* said she returned to ensure she was not billed.
  
  This happening twice in a row is not normal with our company or the expectations of our fulfillment center teams. We did make a note and let ******* know that a supervisor would process all of her orders moving forward. We take things like this very seriously to ensure they do not happen again.
  
  ******** next three orders were delivered to her on August 2nd, 3rd, and 13th of 2022.
  
  We typically allow a 5-day return period for our packages but ******* reached out to us on August 28th to request an extension because she was sick. She requested to have until September 6th for all three of her packages.
  
  We have not heard from ******* since August 28th when she requested a final extension and we have not received any returns from her last three shipments. Her account did go into a delinquent status at which point we continued to attempt billing for the kept items as we reserve the right to do per our terms and conditions. We also sent multiple email notices to her regarding the outstanding balances and failed attempted charges until ***** 2023 when her orders were submitted to a third-party collections agency.

  [Please type your response here.]The company has lied about me not returning packages and has lied saying I did not respond back to them. Every package was returned and I did NOT keep any items from any packages. The company is very unorganized and there is a lack of communication between employees along with dishonest employees accusing me of not returning packages/items and accusing me of not responding to them. My credit should not be blemished over a very bad dishonest business. I am an honest person and refuse to be lied to credit destroyed or taken advantage of.  I am requesting this to be taken out of collections and dismissed immediately !!!!!!!! I have proof from my bank that the company tried numerous times to take money out of my account many different times many different amounts thank God my bank put a stop to it and informed me stating to me all the dates and amounts of fraudulent attemps to take money from my account that they had were not justified to be taking from me. This company needs to be investigated and shut down out of business asap ! STOP COLLECTIONS AND DISMISS THE ***** YOU FALSLY CLAIM I OWE THAT I DO NOT OWE ANYTHING, ALL WAS RETURNED OR NOT RECEIVED AND NO ITEMS WERE KEPT !!!!!!!

Wantable will then submit any additional information to them upon request.

  [Please type your response here.] *********** is not being truthful mo matter what they say it is all made up and I will continue to dispute this false claim that I owe any debts. I will take legal action against the company Wantable and prove with printout from my bank the numerous dares and numerous different large amounts of money the company attempted to pull from my acct which bank caught and locked my card as suspected fraud that the company is !! Amounts attempted were large and several attempts more then what Wantable is even falsely claiming for debts. *********** needs to be investigated and out of business. I am prepared to take legal steps to get company invested and put out of business so either dismiss the false debt claims and stop with the lies or lose your business after investigation, Wantable company needs to decide if the lies and false debt claims are worth the investigation into business and chance losing it because I am not backing down over a dishonest business !!!!!! This is Wantables last chance to reach agreement and settle this contacting collections to tell them to stop and dismiss this before I take legal action. Others may have let this company take money, lie and destroy their credit but I will not tolerate or accept this business to do the same to me !!!!!
