Company: Jim Bottin Enterprises, Inc
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to escalate a serious and unresolved billing issue involving my XXXX XXXX membership, originally set up in XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXXwith recurring payments from my XX/XX/XXXXchecking account ending in XXXX. Monthly membership payments and Annual dues were successfully processed for over a year. Monthly membership fees were {$14.00} and annual dues of {$49.00} were paid in XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXXand again in XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a payment reminder notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that my payment could not be processed due to an invalid account number ending in XXXX account number I did not provide, authorize, or recognize. This unauthorized change triggered a past due notice, additional service charges, and collections activity. 

I immediately contacted XX/XX/XXXXcustomer service by phone and email to resolve the issue and later submitted a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I also submitted bank statements clearly showing that my payments were consistently made from my XXXX account ending in XXXX. 

Despite this evidence, the company maintains that the account ending in XXXX was the original account used at signup and refuses to consider that a billing system error may have occurred. I was advised only to update my payment information, which I declined to do because it appears my account was altered without my knowledge or consent- potentially exposing my financial information. 

As a result, I requested the following : - Cancellation of my membership - Refund the {$49.00} annual dues paid in XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX( I am not able to use this membership any longer as a result of XX/XX/XXXXbilling issues ) - Refund of the {$14.00} XXXX monthly membership fee - Removal of all service charges and late fees - An end to all collections calls - Confirmation that my personal and financial information has been removed from your systems Although my membership was ultimately canceled, I am still being held responsible for the XXXX payment and related fees, based on the companys cancellation policy. 

This is inappropriate and must be reconsidered. 

The billing issue was caused by an unauthorized change to my payment informationa change I did not make or approve. This error directly led to the failed payment in XXXX, and it is unreasonable to hold me accountable under the normal cancellation policy when the issue stemmed from a billing failure outside of my control. 

In the companys previous response to my first CFPB complaint, I was advised to reach out to XX/XX/XXXXlegal counsel, XXXX XXXX. I called and left messages twice. I have not received a response.
