Complaint narrative:
My ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and I were in XXXX in XX/XX/2019 XXXX We were stopped on the street and asked to come hear a presentation after winning a free gift. We were mislead into purchasing a package that was not what they claimed it to be. After realizing we were taken, ( within 3 days ) we tried to cancel the package, calling every number on the paperwork for days, but to no avail. We kept getting the runaround saying someone would call us back, but no one ever did. We left several messages with several people asking them to cancel our package. 

Months later we received a collection notice in the mail from a place called Monterey Financial Services of CA. The original company was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. We had a free consultation with a lawyer and we tried to dispute it online. To no avail. 

Our issue is that the original company was in a foreign country so how is it that they have the right to tamper with our credit here in the US.? We are utterly appalled at the fact that something like this could happen. We feel totally unprotected. The amount is ( {$9000.00} )
