Multiple unauthorized charges
I rented three movies from Redbox in March 2016 and was charged $3 for the first time and $6.50 for two the second time. I made sure to return them in the 24 hour window because I didn't want to get charged for a second day. Fast forward to April and as I was checking my bank account statement today and noticed three unauthorized charges on my account from DEBIT CARD DEBIT REDBOX *DVD REN 866-733-2693 IL. The first was a $61.49 charge, the second was a $12.99 charge and the third was a $146.42 charge. When I called the 866 number on the statement the woman I talked to, after much time speaking with her and being on hold while she talked to her supervisor, she acknowledged that there was a problem and that the charges came from three different states but she claimed she could do nothing about them. She said I had to call my bank and have my bank reverse the charges. I have contacted my bank, cancelled my card and filed a complaint with the local police about the Redbox location I used. Beware of Redbox, they have the ability to charge your account but not to reverse the charges even after they admit that they experienced a glitch in the system. This is a very suspect business practice. I will never be using their services again.
