Hello,

I reside in a very small town in S.Ga and have run into a problem to which no-one seems to know the answer....

Last week I started recieving a telemarketer.She announced that a new nation-wide program was comin into effect and that I should be recieving info on it.She gave me a 1-800# to call if I had any ?'s once recieve the info I could call that # to get answer's...No Big Deal, right?..wrong! I was getting several phone calls a day about this...Each call I explained that I ha already been notified.

Today I found out that this company had debited my checking acct for $199.95(for what I have no idea)dont even know it is for..

I have contacted my bank and filed the necassary papers w/fraud division of the bank..

Now my ? is can I take this company to court for doing this...noauthorization to take funds...

The really bad thing about this I am disabled and take morphine reg to control my pain.This really upset me which in turn caused alot of problems..I had to go to the bank to handle the paper-work even though I was in severe pain, the stress of this has brought on a migrain that the morphine will not even touch, not to mention the financial stress this has caused as I am now unable to access those funds until this is cleared up and that monies was for my medication(I have to pay for all my meds)So I will have to do w/o(the last time I did I had a stroke brought on by he severe pain) which could be over a week...This was an outright theft of my monies as I have never spoke to anyone about a charge even being involved with this comapany(still haven't gotten the info that was mentioned in the 1st phone call)Oh yes almost forgot to mention the 1-800# I was given during the 1st phone call is a non-existing #!..

At this time the only thing I know for sure is the name of the company that debited my acct(don't even know how they got my acct info) for $199.95 and that is all!!!

Please advise me if this can be procecuted and how do I proceed in doing so.

Linda
