I will start with as I was at the crossroads mall obtaining eyeglasses from Lenscrafter As I was waiting for the eyeglasses to be made. I meet a young Lady offerig a free DVD that consisted of the teachings of Jesus Christ. After speaking with this representive she stated her company offered a wide variety of DVD's or Video cassets of religious material. I asked the sales representative how much this would cost. She asked how much could I afford.
I informed her I could spend up to $33.00 she stated that would be fine. She requested that I sign on the bottom Line. I then returned home and did not think to much about it. Approximatly three weeks later I received a shipment of DVD"s and Children's Coloring Books. Attached to the shipment was a letter thanking me for the purchase of $870.00 and My first payment of $50.00 would be due at the beginning of the month. I then returned the merchandise attached with a letter explaining the Error of Communication on The price.
Living Scripture responed by sending me a Malcious letter stating that I could not Cancel my order. They advised me they had already paid the Sales Representive the Commision. I asked them what the Pentality Fee was for Cancellation. They informed Me that it would be $500.00 without any of the material. Is that crazy or what? Since this time this company has threatened me to report me to the Collection Agency even if I return their product to them. I have began thinking to myself how many people are finacial in truble due to the lack of understanding and cooperation from The Living Scripture.
I do not intend to yield to their threats and malicious letters. I will continue to return their shipments. This product teaches good values. THe Living Scripture Company teaches on how to make money deceiving Consumers. To all that are out there Beware of the Living Scriptures Company. Living Scriptures Does not tell the truth on the Product they are selling or How long you will be paying. Yours Sincerley Disgusted and Dismayed.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Tommy - Carson City, Nevada USA
AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 08, 2008
Prior to allowing a customer to sign "on the bottom line" the sales representative along with the customer would have reviewed the information on the purchase agreement, which includes the number of DVD's being ordered, the cost of eash DVD along with the sales tax, shipping and handling. The customer walks away from the sales presentation with a copy of the purchase agreement, as well as an awareness of the terms agreed upon.
There is no reason to be "surprised" when product and invoice arrive, as Living Scriptures "data department" would have keyed in the same information as disclosed in the sales presentation. In addition Living Scriptures "customer service department" makes every effort to "verify" the terms of the contract. This is accomplished by telephoning a customer at his home and reviewing the terms of the agreement. If a customer cannot be reached by telephone, a verification letter is sent to him via the US Postal service.
If the amount of a contract was $870 as stated, the first payment could not possibly have been $50.00 Based upon that amount the payment would have been approximately $35 depending on the sales tax in the are where the customer resides. In the addition the amount to break the contract would not have been $500. The amount could not have been more than $290 which is the amount due to offset the independant sales agent's commission, cost of bonus product and royalty fees paid to investors.
Living Scriptures prefers not to ask customers to pay fees to break contracts, it is preferred that customers simply honor the terms of the agreement thay entered into.
