Exercise 5

By phone, Patricia Sanford bought fitness tapes. The call center operator read Sanford a script saying that for buying the tapes, MemberWorks Inc. (Member) was sending membership in a program called ESSENTIALS. The program had a thirty-day free trial and if not cancelled in that time, cost $6 per month, which was billed in advance to the credit card used to purchase the tapes. Sanford did not remember hearing the script, agreeing to the membership, or receiving a membership kit. She did not cancel, so her credit card was charged $72 the next month and $84 the next year. She sued, alleging, among other things, violation of the EFTA. Had the transaction violated that act?
