Netflix Credit Card Fraud Internet, Internet

This exact same thing happened to me.  I never updated my CC information and my old one expired, they sent me a brand new card with different account numbers, but somehow they got the new CC information.  This is a totally different card from the same bank, Fifth Thrid.  I was most likely going to keep my subscription but now I think I might cancel since this is clearly unethical. This is very creepy.  How did they get my CC information?  I can't figure it out. 

Something really shady is going on.  I wonder what other companies that netflix deals with that would of gotten my CC information and shared that data with netflix.  I am really concerned because I thought that this would of never of happened.  Companies sharing CC information for charging consumers.  This should be a unexceptalbe practice even though I planned on updating my infomation.

So it took almost 2 months but Netflix finally responded to the Attorney General who contacted them on my behalf.  Their response was it is not their fault.  They claim to only have attempted to cahrge an expired card and that my financial institution allowed this trasaction to go through.  They then refunded the last fee that was charged to my account.  Now my Bank already told me that was not the case, but the fact is the burden of proof is on me and I do not have the financial resources needed to hire an attorney to prove what Netflix did.  As such I cannot really do anything about it.  I will give Netflix the credit to say they did not completely ignore this and act like they are too big to have to worry about it.  They responded with a form letter explaining their argument and then refunded the money I had never authorized them to charge.  But I am still under the belief they committed credit card fraud by charging me in the first place. 

First this is not speculation.  If you read my post you would see this is what my bank told me happened.  Second yes it is a frauduelent charge.  They had permission to charge an expired card not the new card thus it was unauthorized.  And do you really think the Nebraska Attorney General would be helping me if this was not a legitimate complaint?

Do you have proof that they fudged the expiration date? Or is this all speculation on your part? It isnt a fraudulent charge, you authorized netflix to make the charge in the first place. If you had cancelled your account and then it got pushed through anyways, you had a case. If anything you are attempted to defraud netflix by providing a bad form of payment when you agreed to pay for the services.

Appearently nobody is reading this clearly.  The fact is Netflix commited credit card fraud by "adjusting" the numbers for my new card's expiration date.  And once again no one appears to be reading this but I did cancel my account and yet it remained active for at least a week despite their own warning saying my cancelation is immediate and I will not receive a refund or retain access to my account for the remainder of the billing period.

So... no, it was not my bank that was to blame and yes, I did try to cancel my account (after they illegally charged me) and it still remained active.

And the plain and simple truth is they had no authorization to charge my new card.  If I do not update my card information then when the existing card has expired the new card even if it has the same number is no longer an authorized method of payment and they can not legally charge me. 

If no one on this site has anything better to do than argue that it is my fault that Netflix commited a federal offense then I guess this site is not what it claims to be and I have wasted my time in trying to help other consumers by posting here, but I sincerely hope this information will be useful to others or I would not post it. 

However, the people that have replied obviously have no interest in helping and I do not understand why they even bother to respond so I will say again if you have nothing to contribute then simply ignore the post. 

So? really that's all you got?  Well thank you so much for your invaluable comment and might I just add GET A LIFE!  You obviously have nothing better to do than try and trivialize a legitimate case of fraud.  So if you do not have anything useful to contribute to this complaint simply ignore it and move on. 

So your report is that you didnt cancel your account?

The only rip off here is with your bank
