This just showed up in our account. My husband says he signed up for some kind of "delayed membership" in July of last year. He just called the company and got them to remove the charge.

This is an on-line video training site that "sells" introductory "memberships" for a couple of bucks. A year later they update you to a "Premium" membership and charge you $54 using retained CC information. No communication from them in the meantime about "renewal" or upgrade.

This is for year 1 of Personal Defense Network membership. I thought an exact $2 charge was odd and couldnt' figure out what I spent $2 on but when I looked here, I realized it was the PDN membership. It's a legitimate transaction. The company makes it clear that after 1 year, you card will be billed automatically for $54... It's all over their website when you sign up.. I think most people simply forget. I set a reminder on my phone for 11 months from to review if I still want to continue.

Contact Personal Defense Network at 855 231-0650 and they will address this charge. This charge showing up on my bill was a surprise, but the CSR I talked to on the phone was helpful and took the sting out of it. Yes there was the retention speech and it would have been nice to get an email before the charge, but the vendor isn't as bad as some I have seen.

PDN charged my account as recurring for a one time purchase. Since they are not 24hr service will check with them in the morning but it would be nice to have an email before an automatic charge is applied. I did a one time purchase several years ago and cancelled. They charged for goods NOT delivered. Contacted my CC to dispute. hope PDN comes through with a refund.

How can they make a charge on a different credit card? Personal Defense or Hacker?

Pero no entiendo como alguien puede hacer un cargo a mi tarjeta de débito por una compra que nunca he realizado a las 23.59 (casi las 11pm). Yo no compro nada por internet. Mi banco me ha pedido que bloquee mi tarjeta.

I saw a charge for $69 and I don't remember signing up for anything with this company I did inquire about some information but I don't remember signing up to get charged for anything in particular. I need to call them to get a credit because I don't think I'm going to be using their service.

I noticed a $69 charge on my Sep 2021 credit card statement. I called the company and spoke to a very nice lady named Sam who said she would reverse the charge without a problem. If you ever buy anything from PDN, apparently the company puts you on auto renewal. It would be nice if PDN stated that policy in big, bold letters. We will see.

Same story for me. I "joined" a video membership a year ago. Today my CC Co. alerted me of the unusual $69 charge. A call to PDN seems to have fixed it by cancelling the membership and refund of the charge. I didn't even have my "login" info active all that time!
