Review: BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a rip off to the max degree. They asure you before you sign up that you dont need to pay any interest if paid beofr a certain time and then they send you a statements asking you to pay a protion after one month. If you dont pay, they add late fees. They bombard you with emails and phone calls treatening to turn your account over to a dunning company. After sending them a check for the full amount I charged, I am trying to get my account closed and be done with them, but have so far had no success

Review: Bill Me Later was just going to be a one time deal for a purchace on line for me. a 30.00 pair of pants have become a 5 month oddysey that has me out of my mind. I feel sorry for the others that have asked to have their accounts closed, they have not been closed...trust me. You will hear from them again with a huge "late fee" attached to the call. I am officially persuing a class action suit against this company today. If you are interested in joining this fight, even if it is just to piss them off, please contact me at moosedaddy41@yahoo.com If anything, we will get their attention and mabey they will actually close our accounts as requested. Mabey...

Review: I wish I'd been warned about "Bill Me Later"---a new company that is designed to harass you and take your money. There must be a law about this.
Not only did it seem like it was part of the original company, but it looks like you have the option of extending your pay time. In Dec, 3 weeks after the initial contact, I started getting bills which didn't say what the original charge was for and requested not only the $37.90 I owed, but also a late fee of $19. (this is 17%?- seems closer to 50% to me.) and a min finance charge of $2. So now I owed almost twice as much..$58.90. Shortly thereafter, they started the phone barrage....calling between 5 and 12 times a day...never leaving a message and always while I was teaching.
I finally called them and figured it out, and paid their outrageous fees, just to be rid of them, and vowed never to get suckered by them again....and to tell everyone I know to not use them, which I did! I also complained to the original company.

Review: Bill me Later is a scam and their credit collection staff is incredibily rude and their attitude is very Nazi-like. They falsify information, charge outrageous late fees and hang up when you try to have an intelligent conversation. Nobody has a last name. I unknowingly got rooked into an account with them and as a business owner with many online transactions, I would warn every other merchant, consumer etc to stay as far away from them as possible. They are online loan sharks.

Review: I am extremely unhappy with Bill me Later because I feel I was scammed into using it. I'm a fairly intelligent person yet was unable to distinguish Bill Me Later from the buisness I was purchasing from. I was so excited about my new purchase and I thought the company was offering me the opportunity to be sent a bill for my purchase- later. Perhaps along with my product when I get it in the mail, therefore allowing me to skip the credit card hassel. So I fill in my birthday and the last 4 digits of my soc, assuming it's for security reasons, and before I have time to realize what's happened, I've opened an account with a credit company at 19.99% APR! I can't transfer this debt to one of my own credit cards with a low APR and I can't back out of this "deal" because I've unknowingly clicked the mouse button in agreement. Wow.
I'm not saying this can't be a viable option for consumers, but Bill Me Later needs to be more clear about their intentions. I'm closing my account.

Review: Bill me later has PR people that post to all sites running "screw you now" that talk it up like it is all that. do a search, you'll find their statements almost word for word the same on all of them. they send fraudulant bills, ignore agreed terms, and screw the customer... this is the most pathetic and fraudulant company i have ever seen.

Review: I am very UNHAPPY with Bill-me-
later in that I was charged in ERROR for an Airline Ticket with
US Air (i followed the instructions for frequent flier miles and got billed).
They have harrassed me about this bill for the last 6 months. I also find that US Air is negligent in not contacting your office to tell
them about the error.
SO, Because bill me later will
NOT contact US Air and US Air
is "telling" me they will take
care of it, I am stuck with the bill. I will NEVER use
bill me later due to this
major inconvenience, not to mention the time I have had
to spend trying to get it corrected.

Review: I just cancelled my account with BILL-ME-LATER. Due to a glitch in their data base they declined a transaction with B&H PHOTO. I wrote a letter to them outlining my concerns about their data base. That was on 27Sep, 2006. I have not received any acknowledgement of that letter. They ignore me and I terminate the account.
