              Billing Issues
              Status:
              Resolved
              It is impossible to cancel a subscription. The account information screen only shows CREDITCARD as a payment method with no other information available. The cancel subscription button gives you a phone number ********** that sends you to an overseas call center and the people there will not send verification of cancellation. I asked to speak to a supervisor and again was denied. This is an ongoing theft. $10 a month for the next year. I intend to go through all of my accounts and find which card is being billed and file a fraud report. It should not be this difficult to cancel. What a terrible way to do business.

              04/18/2022

              Hello, based on your account, you have spoken to several agents regarding this matter. You canceled a payment causing a past due balance of $**.** owed on your account. This is for delivery from */**/** through */**/**, which is the day you switched to digital-only. Home delivery or digital cannot be resumed until you pay the past due balance. Please let us know if you require more assistance. Thank you.

              I NEVER asked for delivery of a newspaper, only the digital edition. If this is true why didn't SOMEONE tell me?. After all I have talked and texted enough people. This company does not have a knowledgeable customer service. If I owed a bill it would have been paid. They still have NOT contacted me! I no longer want any services that they have , or lie to you to get!!!!
