              Pest Bear is engaging in deceptive practices. I was charged $145.60 for an unauthorized treatment. The precedence on my account is clear. Below is a history and the recent events. I contacted Pestbear by phone and email twice requesting a credit. I initially signed up for quarterly service in June 2021 and paid in full. I received quarterly service.In June 2022 I was contacted and asked to sign up again. I again paid in full for and received quarterly service.In June 2023 I was contacted and asked to sign up again. I once again paid in full for and received quarterly service.My 2023 renewal ended in March 2024 with my fourth and final treatment.Pestbear decided to service my house in May 2024, unauthorized.After receiving a bill, I called on 6/17/24 to contest it. They said I had bi-monthly service and had bi-monthly service for 3 years. Not true.They said I called and signed up for mosquito service. Not true.I received a call from Pestbear (April?) asking if I wanted to add mosquito service at no additional cost, it would begin at my next service. After confirming there was no additional charge, I said ok, but that it didn't matter because my subscription ended and was up for renewal in June. Bi-monthly service was not mentioned in the mosquito conversation.I also said I may not renew due poor service and would decide at renewal in June. Some months I received messages saying Pestbear will be here the next day but was a no show. Last September after a no show I had to call and email to get service.I called on 6/17/24 to dispute the invoice and was met with a rude individual who called me a liar. I subsequently spoke with ****** who advised he would need to review the call records to listen to the conversation. Now they say the service should have been contested when done. I was not home to contest it.Further in 2023 it was $534.28 for a year of service. I never agreed to $145.60 bimonthly totaling $873.60 a year? My account precedence is clear.
