      I ordered proactive for my daughter. When I went to cancel it I tried to do so on the website because the phones were down. I did get a response from someone But my account was not Canceled. I then tried to cal for several weeks and the phones were Not working. When i finally did get ahold of someone they said they cancelled my account but then I got another email saying a shipment was on the way. I checked and this has happened to many people. I called again and told the, I was not paying for any additional products as I had already canceled my account. I wait to see if any charges will be billed. This place needs dealt with! It's ridiculous and I've wasted to much time on trying to cancel one subscription! *****

      (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) First of all, I should have never been sent anything in August or November. I sent emails staring on june 9. The last email was August 25. I also called beginning in June but was not able to get through until AUGUST!! Your phone system was down!!! This service is so beyond horrible I can barely believe it. You will not be receiving any payment from me for anything!! The last conversation I had with your horrible customer service told be nothing needed returned and I would be charged for nothing!!
