Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Had to fill out a CA DMV form quickly for my disabled husband's handicap placared renewal.  Link took me to PDFQuick website to fill out and print form.  Filled out form, then found that they needed a my email address and credit card # to pay $1.95 for a 7-day trial before I could print the form.  Searched the web for their TOS/EULA/privacy policy, which says they can do whatever they want with my private information (not listed on website). 

No location info, but they're known to be located in Singapore.  No phone #.  No idea who they are or who owns the company.  Filled out contact form on their website to let them know their fill-out-the-form then have to pay to print it scam is unacceptable. I am a computer consultant who protects clients from companies like this. 

They are gathering and selling private information (email & phone, if you provide phone #), possibly even info from filled-out forms.  They are either criminals or criminally stupid or careless business people.  Be caredful when looking for governemnt fillable forms.  Found the real form on the DMV website and had to enter the info again.

Daimian: Stop PDFQuick from taking $$ out of your bank

Hi, Daimian.  I am Paula, the the person who complained about PDFQuick wasting my time and not being reachable.  I have dealt with many companies like PDFQuick.  My advice follows.  Keep our ripoff report #1516358 in case it is needed.

1. Call your bank immediately.  Ask for the fraud department.

2. Do not waste your time speaking with just anyone.  Make sure you are at least talking to someone in Fraud or to a supervisor.  Or you can print out our report and take it to your local bank branch.

3. I would ask that person to go to the Ripoff Report website and search for report #1516358, which is my report + your report.

4. If the person can't or won't look up the report, tell him or her that PDFQuick has repeatedly taken money out of your bank account without permission.

5. Put an immediate stop payment on all current and future payments to this company. 

You and your banker can identify the company by the description listed on your online account or bank statement next to the amounts they removed from your bank.

6. Because this is bank fraud, you should not have to pay for the stop-payment order.  Find out how long the stop-payment order will remain in effect; ask that it be permanent.

7. If you switch to a new bank account, PDFQuick will be uable to reach your money.  You and your banker will have to decide if this is the best idea.  If you have automatic deposits (social security, for ex.) or automatic payments coming from this account, it will be a lot of trouble to move everything to a new account.

8. Make sure you have copies of all bank statements that contain PDFQuick charges.  Print them to paper, or ask the bank to mail them to you.

If you close the account, you may be unable to access bank statements later.

9. Ask the bank to refund the fraudulent charges.  More about this:  https://www.magnifymoney.com/banking/banks-refuse-refund-fraudulent-debit-card-charges/.

10. CHECK THE RIPOFF REPORT before giving ANYONE your private bank, debit card, or credit card information.

11. If it is worth it to you, take the company to your local Small Claims Court.  Look up Small Claims Court onlline, allowing the website to know your location.  Make sure to find info for your state.  You should be able to recover any money not refunded by the bank, plus reimbursement for court fees and other costs.  If you have the time, this can be fun:  You are actively defending yourself, and no attorney(s) can be involved.

Best of luck on this, Daimian!

i used this website once this year since its been a non stop argument on why is my bank being charged. I have cancelled this so called 7 day free trial over 4 times and still im charged weekly monthly bi weekly all depends on when they feel the need to run my information. They charge like 7 dollars so it tend to get lost in transactions of life. But ive been charged up to 46 for this service. A service i used 1 time and cancelled 4. im so tired of this crapt. They stop charging me a month goes by right back. They have stolen over 100 from me in this last month. This will be the last contact if im not reimbursed fully i will eat more than there sneakiness has cost me and get an attorney call every new station that will listen every blogger you tuber and etc. I will go broke to stop them from taking anymore of my money. Its theft if i did what they are doing i would be in jail
