      I never signed up for for Sun Sentinel newspaper. I do not know how it started. Once I noticed, about 5 months later, I went on their website and cancelled the subscription. I was billed again and called customer service and they told me it wasnt cancelled. So they cancelled it (again) and I asked for a refund and they refused and were rude and unapologetic. I mailed them bank statements and wrote them that I had no email receipts of the subscription but they still refused to give me even a partial refund.

      Our sincere apologies regarding any misunderstanding or frustration associated with your former digital Sun Sentinel subscription.

      After reviewing your concern and information reflected on your former digital subscription, it seems a digital order was received from our subscribe offers available online of which at that time the customer is required to input their credit card information for billing as well as agree to the disclaimers and our Terms and Conditions. Due to this new start received, a digital subscription was created and billing processed as designated by the subscriber. Due to our no refund policy, your cancellation request was handled by Customer Service effective August 6th during your contact preventing any further payments to be processed but does not back date any credits or refund payments as the digital online access is available during that time frame. Your feedback is being reviewed by our ***************** and proper course of action will be taken, if needed. 

      Once again, our sincere apologizes for any misunderstanding. If you would like any further assistance, please contact our Sun Sentinel Customer Service Department at ************.

      I paid in full for a 1 year home delivery subscription. I received the paper for 5 months. I subsequently received a bill almost equal to what I paid for a years subscription.I called customer service (offshore) and was told it was a surcharge I could pay it or stop receiving the paper. I asked for a refund and was told they wouldnt do that.I asked that they live up to their contract and cancel the subscription when the contract ends. They wouldnt do that either.I want a REFUND for the balance of the contract that they didnt perform.They have NO US customer service person to speak with.I do have a copy of the contract if it is necessary.Thank You in advance for your help.*****************************

      Sun Sentinel posted an employment ad and is using my business' phone number. This is costing me money as the number is tied to an answering service that charges me per call they receive. I have tried calling Sun Sentinel a number of times and their customer service department refuses to put me in touch with their HR department. I have also emailed the the email address that is given when you do get through to HR and that address is invalid.

      I was repeatedly called by the Sun Sentinel to update my card information for my subscription. I let them know I do not want to update it because I would like to cancel my subscription. They had said that would be a separate phone call and they could not help me. After months of receiving these calls, I look at my bank statement to see they did charge my NEW card for $22. I was under the plan that was $5/week. I asked how they could have possibly charged a new card and they had let me know they used my bank information! I had never provided ANY account or routing number, let alone AUTHORIZED them to use that information. Now while asking for a refund, they are saying I need to enter new card information because they have nothing on file. I asked why not refund the bank account that they were not authorized to use, and they said they didn't have that information either. During this process I was intentionally hung up on TWICE after the representative raised her voice at me. I have yet to speak to any manager who can advise on the situation, and was told I would receive a call back, which I have not. They used information I did not provide nor authorize, and are refusing to give me clarity on the situation or talk to anyone who can address this directly.

      I am rejecting this response because: I did not consent to Sun Sentinel ACCESSING MY BANK ACCOUNT information. This was never provided from me nor authorized, only my debit card number. This has never happened with any subscription service I have ever worked with, not to mention this is ILLEGAL. I have attached a picture of the law stating that. I actually had a conversation with a representative, and when I said "this is illegal" the representative says "yes I know." !!!! Acknowledgement of illegal activity is incredibly alarming, and I expect this to be handled accordingly even if it goes to a legal team.

Your customer service in ***** is unprofessional and shady to say the least. Every month my subscription price is raised. I have called the customer service # numerous times and spoke to your people in *****. They promised me a lower rate but I NEVER see that lower rate. I'm still charged the higher price. Many times they tell me that they need my credit card # to offer me a better rate. SCAM!!!! Why do they need my credit card information if my credit card is already on file and I am automatically charged?I will only renew my Sun Sentinel subscription if I am offered a lower rate. $56 every 2 monthsis too high, especially for a senior.

      Hello:

      As you can see by the attachments, Sun Sentinel is now trying to double bill me.  You see the Sun Sentinel charge on my credit card and the second attachment shows that Sun Sentinel is going to rebill me for that amount and for the next month's papers. 

      Logical next step would be to contact customer service. Wrong!  As mentioned in my previous complaint, Sun Sentinel customer service consists of scammers in another country.  They tell you want you want to hear and you never see what they promised you - or worse- is when they ask you for your credit card over the phone when my credit card is already in their system.

      Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience or misunderstanding you have experienced associated with your former Sun Sentinel subscription.

      After reviewing the information you provided as well as your former Sun Sentinel Wednesday and Sunday account,  I have adjusted your account and applied a credit adjustment for the outstanding balance on the former subscription in the amount of $20.49.  No remaining balance is reflected at this time and your former account is in good standing.

      Your feedback regarding your customer experience is being reviewed and proper course of action will be taken, if needed.
      Once again, our sincere apologizes for any misunderstanding. If you would like any further assistance or to restart your account, please contact our Sun Sentinel Customer Service Department at ************.

      Sincerely,

      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I am a longstanding subscriber to the Sun-Sentinel newspaper and billing is automatically charged to my debit card, and automatically renewed. Last year, in trying to manage my budget, I took a look at this subscription and realized I was being charged over $700/year, which wasn't worth it for only a weekend subscription. I called on 12/22/2023 to cancel. Instead, I ended up keeping my subscription, but at a rate of $109.87 which would expire in August 2023. [Phone call ref. no. 0928Z514215]. Because the account is automatically billed, it is easy for SS to **** up prices if you're not paying attention, so I paid close attention. On May 4 this year, I was billed for $25.10 and on May 30 again billed for $25.07 which I found unconscionable. Two ******** worth practically HALF my subscription?! On May 30 I called to get these charges reversed, and re-iterated that as soon as my subscription ran out in August, I wanted to cancel. Instead they have canceled me outright. I am highly frustrated because I am PAID through August. I would like not only the two refunds discussed ($25.10 and $25.07) but also a pro-rated refund for them canceling me earlier than August 2023. Their billing department is located offshore and I do believe there is a communication issue and things are getting "lost in translation". I seek resolution but I don't want to talk to them anymore, which is why I'm contacting BBB. Thank you.

      Our sincere apologies for any misunderstanding or frustration you have experienced with your former Sun Sentinel home delivery subscription

      After reviewing your home delivery account as well as the information you provided within this BBB Complaint it seems the paid thru date was shorten due to the additional charges associated with your subscription.  These additional costs, which shorten your paid thru date, are associated with the Premium Issues and reflected within your account disclaimers and Terms and Conditions. Please be advised that these premium charges were implemented to help defray print and delivery costs associated with these special issues that our readers have come to enjoy.  Criteria and details regarding these special premium issues are noted on all our Billing Statements and any other correspondence. It seems Customer Service cancelled your subscription due to your contact effective June 1, 2023.  In the interest of fairness, I have process a refund of the last two payments plus prorated amount of $11.85 which would provide a total refund in the amount of $61.85 which will be applied back to the credit card charged within the next ***** business days due to our standard processing times. Your feedback regarding your customer experience will be reviewed and proper course of action will be taken, if needed.


      Please be advised that your subscription is continuous therefore delivery continues at the next available rate unless you contact the Sun Sentinel for cancellation or any further assistance. Your account was also part of our EZ Pay program so your payments would have been automatically processed. 

      If you would like any further assistance, please contact our Sun Sentinel Customer Service Department at ************.
