    The Palm Beach Post owes me $85.59 for a subscription to their print newspaper which they have never delivered.They say I am in arrears for my previous subscription which I am not as my account has been paid in full. My subscription is now cancelled, but they have not refunded the $85.59 and so far, refuse to do so. Every time I call, I get the run-around from their customer service ***** who insist that I owe them money, which I do not. I have insisted on speaking to a supervisor but they always say that their supervisors are busy.I have documented proof using my bank ledger that I have paid the newspaper their subscription fees. As of June 2024:06/20/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $61.70 Check 2453 07/18/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $78.83 Check 2460 08/29/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $78.83 Check 2467 08/29/24: At this time, I looked into having the Palm Beach Post do auto-payments, but they immediately deducted $145.90 from my account and almost caused my checking account to have less money to cover expected bills.I called my bank ******* to put a stop payment on this and disallow further transactions with the Post. This stop payment cost me $30.I never received a bill for September 2024.10/22/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $144.66 which appears to have been for September and October. Check 2470 11/13/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $73.82 Check 2472 12/17/24: I paid my billed subscription fee of $79.17 Check 2476 01/09/25: I paid my billed subscription fee of $85.59 Check 2480 I have not received any newspapers since 1/1/25. They say I owe them money, which I do not. They have not and will not refund the $85.59 that I to paid to them for non-service.

    On 10/24/24 I sent the Palm Beach Post a check for $44.97 for a 3 month subscription to the payment address they gave me, ******************************. When I couldn't access the acct a couple weeks later I called. They told me they never received the check and told me to call back. Mid November I called again and they said the check must be lost so they cancelled the acct. On 12/11/24 they cashed my check #**** in the amount of $44.97. I called them and was told they could no longer apply it to my acct since they cancelled it, so I requested a refund with ****. He said it would take 7-10 days, but I never received it. I called on 1/8/25 and was told the credit never was processed, so **** the girl I spoke with said she processed it and I would get the check within 7-10 days, I did not. I called again on 1/23/25 and spoke with ******, he said nothing was done with it but he would expedite it. Again no check. I called again on 2/6/25 and spoke with ********* and requested to speak with a supervisor after she told me nothing had been processed yet again. After being on hold for almost an hour I told her to have the supervisor call me, of course I never received a call. They have had my money since early December and 4 times I have been told a check would be mailed but it never has been. So in closing they cancelled my account because they said they didn't receive my check, then they cashed my check and but still didn't activate my account. I don't want anything to do with this company and All I want is my money back.

    I am rejecting this response only because I have been promised a refund by check since December 12, 2024 by 4 other people from the Palm Beach Post.  ******** that you spoke with is the 5th person, so I honestly have no reason to believe her either.  I want the refund but if I accept there offer this complaint would be closed, therefore  I would like to leave this complaint open until I actually have received payment.  If I receive it I will contact you immediately. 

    Thank you for your efficiency with this matter.

    5/1/24 $19.99 renewal fee for digital newspaper ********************* |Account # ********* Before the renewal date, I followed their cancellation directions, as indicated on their website, only to get an error message. Their customer service is not 24 hours so by the time I finally got through to them it was passed the deadline. However their website clearly prompts you to a 24 hour online cancellation feature that apparently does not work. Had this been working I wouldve been able to cancel on time. I never do complaints, but this was clearly unjust. I also found similar complaints online so I hope they change their misleading website for future customers.

    Please accept this as confirmation we have received a complaint from your offices regarding ********************* and her eNewspaper subscription to the Palm Beach Post. As a courtesy, ******************** account will be stopped on 5/8/2024 instead of the paid-through date of 6/1/2024 which is required per our company policy. **************** had to agree to a disclaimer upon taking out the subscription on our website on 11/1/2023, stating that cancellation of the subscription has to be made before the charge for the next term which would have been before the renewal date of Wednesday 5/1/2024. **************** received the call on Sunday, 5/5/2024, several days later. The message that **************** received when trying to cancel on the website was to contact customer service as this publication is not cancelable online. **************** is open Monday through Friday 8 am - 5 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 11 am. We will issue a refund of the remaining funds on the account as a one-time courtesy after the stop has been processed fully.

    Digital subscriptions are a non-refundable service. The only way to start a digital subscription is to provide the full credit card or bank account information and to accept the terms of service, which state the non-refundable policy. If a cancellation is requested, it is processed at the end of the current subscription term.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and as long as I'm issued a refund, I find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Just so the company knows, the issue was that cancellation was attempted before the renewal date. I followed the website prompts exactly but had no success due to Palm Beach Post error. Thanks for the refund. Good luck. God bless.

    THE PALM BEACH POST has tried to persuade my 88 year old father into renewing subscriptions for years and the practices are predatory. they know the age of the houshold and the likelyhood of dementia . i have caught them several times. My father is listed on nocallnowrite. i can only monitor the phone to a certain extent. we discontinued the subscription about 8 years ago.i cancelled it because i can no longer lug these papers to the garbage.Then they caught my dad and the newspapers started coming again and are fire hazard. It's shameful and predatory.I return their mailings with "return to sender".The calls must be overseas and therefor legal... and always from a vastly different number. another company preying on the elderly.

    I had subscribed to their digital newspaper services last year sometime and now I wanted to cancel my services . I had a discussion with the billing department and they wasn't able to help but started getting harassment about the bill . I called customer services , paid the balance owed and requested a cancellation. They gave me several promotion options but still opted to cancel. She said she would process it but never did . Now I'm back getting harassing text messages, emails and phone calls about another bill that has accumulated again!!! Everyone is struggling right now and shouldn't have to pay for a service I requested to be cancelled verbally with a rep!

    I cancelled the subscription effective June 4, and was informed I will receive a credit of $12.06. On 6/22 I called the Post to discuss the credit back to my card which was not credited. I was told the Post des not refund. This back and forth lying needs to stop. The post cannot steal my money that is owed under the pretense they do not refund. This policy is not what I agreed to. I request an immediate refund back to my card.

    Please accept this as confirmation we have received a complaint from your offices regarding ********************** and his desired refund of $12.07. If at any time you decide to cancel your subscription, which you can do at any time, you may contact customer service. Payments are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for the unused portion of a subscription that has been canceled before the end of a billing cycle. We reserve the right, however, to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit in one instance, we are under no obligation to issue the same refund or credit in the future.

    ************************** subscription was stopped on its expiration date of 6/4/2023, therefore, there were no funds to refund. He requested to cancel on 5/30 with a customer service agent. All subscriptions are nonrefundable and ********************** has been advised of this several times during his phone calls. Refund requests can be made but must meet criteria in order to be eligible; ********************** was not owed a refund when his request was reviewed. Our agents have had to disconnect the calls due to the profane language and ************************** unwillingness to heed the warnings of disconnect. 

    A refund will not be processed.

SECONDLY, WHEN I CANCELLED I WAS TOLD BY THAT AGENT "I WILL GET A REFUND FOR 12 PAPERS" WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO THE CALL? YOUR INCOMPETENCE LEADS YOU TO A FALSE CONCLUSION:  IF I WAS NOT GIVEN A REFUND BY THAT LIAR AGENT THEN WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE TWELVE PAPERS DELIVERED PRIOR TO EXPIRATION?

    Hello, 

    I was not able to respond to ************************** rejection when I followed the link to the portal. 

    ********************** will not get a refund and due to the nature of his responses, we will not be able to communicate with him going forward. He has received multiple explanations as to why he will not receive a refund from agents and me. On 6/20/23, the call was disconnected by our agents due to ********************** ignoring the three warnings he was given regarding his word choice and rudeness. 

    At the time of his cancellation, there were not any remaining funds, which is why his account was stopped on the expiration date. 

    I have attached an invoice sent to ********************** showing the cancellation policy on the back. This can also be found at aboutyoursubscription.palmbeachpost.com

    When communicating with the consumer, please remove any of my personal information.

    Adding to the last response: why don't you explain why the agent told me "you can have a credit for 12 issues" Why don't you explain why I would throw away 12 issues: If it does not make sense then it is not true which explains your stupidity. Since owed 12 issues send them to me with today's ***** and stop being a thief!

    I started a digital subscription with a special 6 month offer. This offer morphed into a regular digital subscription automatically after the sixth month.I did not know the date of the automatic morph and as soon as I saw the charge on my credit card I called to cancel.Two separate operators both refused to cancel the first month, ad refused to offer a refund. In o0ther word I am forced to pay for the first month even though I canceled within a day .

    I have been trying to cancel my Post subscription for weeks and weeks. Even though I tried to cancel my subscription, they have continued to deliver my paper. They continually sent me renewal notices and continued to deliver the paper. Now, I owe them money for a paper i didn't want. I spoke with them several times and was told several times that I MUST immediately pay them for the papers they continued to deliver. That I had to give them my bank information at that time over the phone in order to cancel the paper. I explained that I would not give out that information over the phone. This conversation happened over and over. I received yet another renewal notice. On it I **** a big red X through the subscription amounts and I wrote in big red letters "Please cancel my subscription." I included a check for $100 to cover the papers they delivered that I didn't want.I asked that they refund any overage. To this day, I am still receiving the Post, still receiving daily phone calls, and have not received any refund.

    Complaint #********

    Please accept this as confirmation we have received a complaint from your offices regarding *************************** and her account concerns. Based on her account we have received the payment of $100 on 6/1/23; this paid her through 7/28/2023. Her delivery will stop on this date as well. All subscriptions are nonrefundable and are stopped on their paid through date if cancelation is requested. ************************** will not receive a refund. If she is having delivery issues, she will need to report them as they happen by using the automated services when calling customer service.

    We appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns.

    Thank you,

    Complaint: 20124976

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I do not want to continue to receive the paper until 7/28.  I want it stopped and a refund of the unused part of my remittance.  How is it acceptable that I cannot receive a refund for horrible, horrible service and that I cannot even cancel that horrible service?  Where is it written for a subscriber to see that there are no refunds issued?  

    Sincerely,

    **************************************

    Please accept this as confirmation we have received ******************************* rejection. *************************** has been advised multiple times that all subscriptions are nonrefundable. Her account will stop on the paid-through date of 7/28/23. This information is on the back of all renewal notices, in our terms of sale when purchasing online and aboutyoursubscription.palmbeachpost.com. I have included the vocabulary below. *************************** did not meet the eligibility requirements when a refund was requested, therefore one will not be processed. 

    If at any time you decide to cancel your subscription, which you can do at any time, you may contact customer service. Payments are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for the unused portion of a subscription that has been canceled before the end of a billing cycle. We reserve the right, however, to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit in one instance, we are under no obligation to issue the same refund or credit in the future.

    Thank you.
