as seen on tv telebrandsA Missouri woman says she was blindsided by a so-called TeleBrands savings club fee when making a purchase for a scrubber she saw advertised on television.

Lead plaintiff Barbara Rosenbloom alleges that the “Everyday Savings” program fee started at $1, then spiked to $14.99 a month.

TeleBrands touts itself as “the oldest existing direct response marketing company and the original creator of the ‘As Seen on TV’ logo and category of trade,” according to the TeleBrands class action lawsuit.

Rosenbloom says that she noticed the fee on her credit card statement after she purchased a Hurricane Spin Scrubber in response to an ad on television in April 2018.

The TeleBrands class action lawsuit contends that Rosenbloom never agreed to the fees or to be entered into the “savings” program.

“Telebrands describes the ‘Everyday Savings’ program as a ‘premier savings club that makes it easy to find great deals on the things you love. Everyday Savings club members receive instant access to over 200,000 money-saving deals including Restaurant Discounts, Shopping Discounts, Entertainment Discounts, Travel Discounts, and Automotive Discounts,’” according to the TeleBrands class action lawsuit.

Rosenbloom contends that she received no such savings, nor have other consumers who have unwittingly been slapped with these fees; instead, they were subject to recurring charges on their credit cards.

“Telebrands has repeatedly engaged in similar misconduct for years,” alleges the TeleBrands class action lawsuit. “For example, in 2011 Telebrands entered into a settlement with the Iowa Attorney General for improperly charging consumers monthly fees for its ‘Everyday Savings’ program. The Iowa Attorney General stated, ‘Too often, purchases from Telebrands led to month after month membership charges to a consumer’s credit or debit card for a membership the consumer didn’t want, didn’t use and didn’t even know about.’”

The TeleBrands class action lawsuit points to further customer complaints about being unknowingly entered into the Everyday Savings program and subject to monthly fees.

An online complaint says that one customer discovered they had unknowingly been subject to recurring fees for the Everyday Savings program for two years after they had purchased an anklet from TeleBrands.

The plaintiff seeks to represent a nationwide Class of consumers who were unknowingly entered into the Everyday Savings program, and subject to its monthly fees, over the past six years.

The TeleBrand class action lawsuit contends that the “As Seen on TV” company has engaged in fraud by enrolling consumers into this program and charging them fees without their permission.

The plaintiff is seeking damages for herself and on behalf of the Class.

    On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, I spoke to a BLB supervisor about charges on my VISA card from BLB – Everyday Savings which I did not make or authorize. After doing her best to find my account, the supervisor told me that she couldn’t find one. She also informed me that the situation I found myself in was quite unusual. What she meant was that my name and my wife’s name just didn’t exist BLB’s records and yet I keep getting a charge on my VISA card eacg month. She advised that I write this email and seek assistance from BLB support services by sending a copy of my VISA statement showing the charge. Well, I went through all of my 2025 VISA account statements and discovered that I’ve been paying this charge all year long. What I did is provide a copy of my January 2025 VISA statement in an attachment (not included here) and it shows the $14.99 charge. Next, I provided a copy of my November 2025 VISA statement (my most recent Statement) in a second attachment (not included here), and it too shows that same $14.99 charge. That $14.99 charge appears on every one of my VISA 2025 statements from January through November 2025. Then I decided to check my VISA card statements for 2024. Well, I found that the $14.99 charge did not appear on the statements for Jan, Feb, Mar, and Apr 2024. However, on the Nay 2024 statement, I discovered a BLB charge for $51.70 for a Ruby Scrubber. When I asked my wife about this charge, she informed me that she had purchased this item over the phone and insisted that she was not interest in or authorizing any other purchases or savings. Then, farther down on that same May statement I found a $1.00 charge from BL B. I have no idea what that charge was for now does my wife. I’ve provided a copy of this May statemnt in an attachment I (not included here). Starting with the next month’s VISA statement (June 2024), the $14.99 charge appears for the first time and continues through the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025 through November 2025. I have no idea how I didn’t catch this discrepancy, but I surely did to my chagrin. More significantly, why was my VISA card charged the $14.99 in the first place and continued to be charged for 18 months even though no services o products were purchased or provided? And even more significantly, these charges have been posed to my VISA card for 18 months and neither my wife nor I even have an account with BLB. Do the math and you will see that my VISA card has been charged $269.92 for an account that doesn’t exist and for services that were not provided or purchased. So, I’m expecting a reimbursement of $269.92 as well as a stoppage of additional $14.99 charges to my VISA card.

    You are not automatically enrolled you actually have to click on a button and it asks you do you want to be enrolled.

    People need to start reading for the things they sign up for. You even have to create your own account in order to take part of their rewards program.

    The rewards program is a great tool when you have those last minute gifts you want to purchase or need for the holidays for family.

    This is just another person trying to make a quick buck
