Transparent Language-software rebate ripoff *Consumer Suggestion
I bought a software cd rom package for learning Portuguese from Comp USA in Sept of 2000. The software came with a mail-in $20.00 rebate. I mailed it in- months went by-no rebate. I have contacted Transparent Language throught their e-mail system for over 10 months. Every time I e-mail them about my non-existant rebate, they send back a form letter saying they have recieved my rebate info-but are having problems with their rebate center-please be patient-the problem is being rectified and I shall receive my rebate soon.---so far no rebate.

No rebuttal, but a report.
I had the same problem except I had two $20 rebates not being filled. I finally sent a report to the FTC Fraud web site. I sent a copy of the report to Transparent Language. That got their attention.
They quickly sent an e-mail asking for details of
my claim. In about a week I had a check for $40.
USE THE MUSCLE OF THE FTC!
