You used to be able to sign up to a magazine subscription and cancel it with a week/months notice or maybe a little more.
Now it’s like trying to leave a cult!
There is a kids magazine that I have been trying to cancel for two years now. It keeps arriving. Every week. Mostly they don’t charge for it, but every few months they take a random direct debit amount.
Rather than learning my lesson, I signed up to a popular science magazine for me. I hadn’t realised it was weekly rather than monthly, so there is just too much content for me to get through so after a year I tried to cancel. No luck by email, but I did get a response through the contact form today. They are please to confirm … my last issue will be 19th October! Three and a half months from now! And nowhere on the website can I find any reference to cancellation terms.
So … AIBU to expect to be able cancel a subscription without having to pay for another 15 copies of the magazine?
