What to do if 3 months ago I signed up for a 7 day free trial with a company on the internet but soon discovered that the trial really wasn’t free?
Within minutes of doing so I realized that their free trial wasn’t really free. I cancelled immediately, actually on 4 different areas of their site. I wanted to be very clear that I didn’t appreciate their trying to dupe me. Months went by and I forgot all about it and them. Then my account kept getting messed up. It turned out they had been charging me every month all along. They paid me back their $14.99 monthly charges but refuse to cover the OD charges my bank charged me each time their debits went through my account. I wasn’t expecting money to be taken(stolen)from my account. Shouldn’t they have to pay me back?

Based upon what you have written about with respect to the free trial that you cancelled in a timely manner you are under the laws of all states in this country entitled to the return of all money that you are out of pocket of. You are entitled to the OD charges the bank charged you with interest on them.
