I set up an account with Horizon Card Services. I was automatically given a $750 in store credit to shop online at TheHorizonOutlet. Com. I spent $263.73 of that in store credit and to get my items shipped I had to pay 10% of that cost the day I ordered them. On August 10,2022 I filed a complaint with FedX for not receiving my package because the tracking # I received when I ordered from The Horizon Outlet said the package had been delivered 2 days prior to the day I filed the complaint. The same day I contacted The Horizon Outlet via email. They almost immediately terminated my account with them. I have received a bill in the mail saying I owe $26.73 as my monthly balance with them. Im not gonna pay and continue to pay for items I never received.Business response

******* ******* states in her complaint that around the end of February, Horizon Outlet offered her a $750 spending limit at the online store where she could make payments on merchandise if she paid the shipping and handling and paid monthly payments. ******* agreed to the terms and used the $750 credit limit and ordered merchandise. She paid Horizon Outlet the $110.17 for her shipping and handling and as soon as Horizon Outlet took the $110.17, she received an email saying Horizon Outlet confirmed her order and it would be shipped immediately. Two days later she received an email saying that her Horizon Outlet card was canceled. She tried several times to contact Horizon Outlet with no response. She also got back on the Horizon Outlet store online and a message popped up that reads this account is closed. She tried to login and it said her account has been closed. *** ******* states that as soon as Horizon Outlet received her $110 and membership fee, they closed her account and now she can't get her money back in her account and did not receive her merchandise.
******* ******* visited our secure web site and willingly applied for our services by completing our online application. Our application process requires the customer to click on a check box to confirm they have read our terms and conditions before the application can be submitted. These terms and conditions outline our product and services and clearly give our contact information. ******* ******* visited our secure website and checked the box on February 27, 2022, stating she read and agrees to the terms and conditions. Once the application has been submitted, the customer sees a membership confirmation page. An email with this same information is sent to the email address provided in the application. This confirmation provides the customer with the information they need to have immediate access to the services, provides their first payment date after the free trial ends, and provides the customer with our contact information. ******* ******* did contact Member Services on March 7, 2022 by email to see why she received an email saying her account was canceled and asking where her money is that she paid for the shipping and handling fee. An email reply was sent advising that two accounts were found under her name with a majority of the personal information being the same. We informed her that we have attempted to contact her twice by phone and by email to verify the accounts and the order for shipping, but all attempts failed. Due to no response to the verification attempts, on March 7, 2022 we canceled both accounts and the order with a refund of $110.77 back to her personal account. We advised that a refund could take three to five business days to fully post to her account. The customer responded by email that she did not receive her refund and wants her money back for the shipping but prefers to have her merchandise. The manager restated in their email response that a refund could take three to five business days to fully post her account. *** ******* indicated she would like to reinstate her account. She was advised she would need to call us to do this, and our phone number and hours were given to her. Ms. ******* called member services on March 10, 2022 requesting to reinstate her account. She paid the membership fee and did a verification for her account. Ms. ******* then placed an order paying the for shipping and processing. Again, due to the size of the order, we tried to do account verification with *** ******* by phone. She did not answer our calls and the order was cancelled on March 14, 2022. *** ******* emailed requesting the account be canceled since her order was canceled. Her account was canceled as requested.
Upon receipt of this complaint, we tried to contact ******* ******* by phone. We made two call attempts and were unable to leave a voice mail message either time, but On March 10, 2022 ******* ******* contacted member services by phone to reinstate her account. We have made one last attempt to reach her by phone on March 15, 2022 but were unable to reach her but did leave a voice mail requesting she return our call.
Ms. *******’s account had been cancelled on March 7, 2022. She was refunded $110.77 to her personal card for the shipping and processing fee. Refunds can take three to five business days to show back in an account. *** ******* should see her refund by March 14, 2022 at the latest. *** *******’s account had been cancelled a second time on March 14, 2022. She was refunded $14.77 for the monthly fee and $106.64 for the shipping and processing of the second order. Ms. ******* should see these refunds by March 21, 2022 at the latest.
We trust this resolves this matter and that no further communication is needed at this time.

Immediately upon receiving a statement from Horizon I called Horizon to report that an account was opened up in my name using stolen identity credentials. The amount remaining on the account is not a large amount just over $100. After hearing my complaint they did not move to remedy the situation. Instead, they asked me for additional personal information which I would not provide as a result of never hearing about this company. Since that point in time, I have also sent them written correspondence stating that the account was opened under fraudulent terms (which is attached) and that I had no intention of paying for goods that I did not receive. Horizon responded with a letter telling me how much was on the account but did not address my complaint of this being a fraudulent account. You will notice that they canceled $623.74 worth of orders... I assume they did this as a result of my phone call. They don't have the correct maiden name of my mother (page 2). They utilized a fake email address and a phone number that does not belong to me. The shipping address is listed in New York, and the billing address is listed as **** ****** ** ***** **. I would like the help of the BBB in resolving this issue. You will notice inconsistencies in the Horizon documentation that I am providing.Customer response

We are in receipt of the above referenced complaint dated 12/12/2021.
***** ******* states in her complaint that this company (Horizon Card Services) has been taking a $14.77 fee from her card since February 2021 up through December 4, 2021. She has not used the service or authorized them to automatically take a fee each month. She has never used this service and never will, so she doesn’t know why they are receiving a payment. She would like all fees returned and for them to stop taking money from her account.
***** ******* visited our secure web site and willingly applied for our services by completing our online application for the Principal Platinum Card. Our application process requires the customer to click on a check box to confirm they have read our terms and conditions before the application can be submitted. These terms and conditions outline our product and services and clearly give our contact information. ***** ******* visited our secure website and checked the box on February 7, 2021, stating she read and agrees to the terms and conditions. After entering her personal information in the online application, ***** ******* entered a valid credit card number and expiration date. Here the application process requires the customer to click on a check box to confirm they have read and agree to the Payment Authorization terms. The customer acknowledges that they understand and agree that at the end of their risk-free trial they will be billed a regular monthly participation fee. The monthly fee will be assessed automatically every thirty days unless they request to discontinue their membership. They may cancel at any time by calling the Member Services department and understand that refunds will be made for fees paid within the last 30 days upon request. Once the application has been submitted, the customer sees a membership confirmation page. An email with the same membership confirmation is sent to the email address provided in the application. This confirmation provides the customer with the information they need to have immediate access to the services, provides their first payment date after the free trial ends, and provides the customer with our contact information. ***** ******* did not contact member services. **** ******* did log in to the Member Shopping website on March 15, 2021 and October 29, 2021 using her membership login that was provided in the enrollment confirmation.
Upon receipt of this complaint, we tried to contact ***** ******* by phone. We made two call attempts and each time there was no answer, and we were unable to leave a voice message. As of December 16, 2021, we have not heard from ***** *******.
Mrs. ***** *******’ account had been cancelled on December 13, 2021. She was refunded $14.77 in accordance with the cancellation and refund policy.
We trust this resolves this matter and that no further communication is needed at this time.
Sincerely,
Dee-ann B********
