    Resolved
    I expected my "Tennessean" subscription renewal on 12/26/23 to be the usual $69. Instead, they charged $99 with no prior notification of a rate increase. I called **************** on the same day to complain and cancel my subscription. The representative at first said they don't give refunds for cancellations. However, their web site includes a clause saying, "We reserve the right, however, to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion.". After a 28 minute call, she finally admitted she could cancel my subscription and issue a full refund. She said the refund would be issued and credited to my credit card "within ***** business days". I received email confirmation that my subscription had been cancelled, but I have still not received my refund.

    I have been a daily Tennessean customer for about 60 years, however, lately I am not a "happy customer". I have not received a paper for the last three days in a row, and my last monthly account check was written for $75.01!!! I pay regularly and have had delivery problems in the past, but not like this! I am NOT pleased, yet I don't know what to do! I have reported my paper not being delivered for the last two days - I let the first day go, as I chalked it up to the rain...then when the issue continued, I started reporting it. I have to dial the phone number, as my phone number is not recognized as having an account connected to it, and I have spoken to someone with an Asian accent each time. My account is then found by my delivery address and I am told the paper will be delivered...but that never happens! I used to be able to report the non-delivery issue via email, but those days seem to be over. Each person I talk to is very polite and assures me the problem will be resolved, but nothing happens and I don't get a paper. Today I was told there was an issue with the paper itself, but that I would receive one by 1:30...it is now almost 2:30 and no paper has arrived!!! I am very upset and confused about this whole problem! I don't know what to do and it seems to be an ongoing situation. HELP!!! Thank you, ****** *******
