- - I haven't reordered Cooking Light in years.
- - I took the magazine years ago.
- - I started receiving bills and do not wish to be a customer.
We’ll see how it goes.
Ive never reordered cooking light! Many years ago I took the magazine, but not recently. I started receiving bills - if this a way to confuse previous customers and get them to order again, I do not wish to be a customer!

Bill I already paid
- - Third notice for gift magazines; phone support was hard to understand and not helpful.
- - Publisher apologized, found the order, and confirmed payment.
I received a third notice telling me I needed to pay for the gift magazines I had purchased 2 months prior. I called the number for cooking light and the person was hard to understand, plus he said he had nothing to do with the notice I received.
I had to ask him for the publisher's number because he just told me to look it up. I asked him to give it to me. He was a little resentful. I called the new number from the publisher, and she apologized for the notice and would make sure I received no more notices.
She found my order and confirmed I had paid. I really think you should have state side people answering your phone and not sub it out to other countries which are hard to understand.
I speak a few languages so I can usually have no problems with people talking but this person was not easy to understand nor was he really helpful. Not good customer service
Pay bill
Cant get a live person.this stupid. Im trying to pay my bill.Or she I still owe any money. Need your help.
