1) the options to cancel your subscription does not exist online. you MUST speak with a service representative.2) their chat feature does not work to chat with service representatives, ever.3) their phone lines are always busy - I have never once made it through to talk to someone despite waiting for more than an hour several times.4) the only way to contact them is an email form that you submit. I submitted a form requesting cancellation. I received a call a few days later asking if I wanted to cancel (yeah, that's what I explicitly said). They attempted several times to not let me cancel. When they eventually did, I confirmed (as explicitly stated in my email) that I wanted it cancelled immediately. They said it couldn't be as the billing cycle was too close (it wasn't too close when I started trying to contact them to cancel). So I requested the account closed before the next cycle.5) I then received another billing statement the next cycle saying that my subscription was RENEWING, and they actually had not cancelled my service, despite receiving a cancellation email.Business Response

Hello Mediator,
Thank you for contacting SiriusXM on **** ***** behalf. We regret that his recent experience led to a complaint with your agency. After researching *** ***** account, it was found that his complaint is in regards to his overall cancellation experience.
We understand that *** **** attempted to contact us to cancel his subscription, but due to system issues and call/chat volumes being higher than usual, he was unable to reach a representative. On January 16, 2024, we received a communication he sent to one of our executives requesting for his subscription to be canceled prior to his next renewal date. He was advised that an end date was set for April 13, 2024, to prevent the automatic renewal of his subscription term. On February 3,2024, we received a communication he sent to one of our executives requesting for his subscription to be canceled immediately; which we processed, and two refunds totaling $14.42 were issued to the credit card on file. We spoke with *** **** and apologized for any frustrations this issue may have caused, we confirmed that the subscription was canceled and refunds received. *************** have any additional questions or concerns, we ask that she contact us utilizing the information below.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:In your response, you wrote:
>>He was advised that an end date was set for April 13, 2024, to prevent the automatic renewal of his subscription term.
This was NOT the case. I explicitly requested an immediate cancellation of my subscription, both in my original email that was sent, as well as over the phone. YOU extended it beyond this date regardless, and I was not notified that the cancellation would not be until April until I saw a charge. This was particularly malicious given the inability for me to directly cancel in any other way. The online cancellation is still not possible; the online chat is still not available; the call center I have not gotten through a single time, despite waiting for hours multiple different times. .
I would like you to acknowledge your fault in the matter and actually make an effort to make your cancellation available on your website to resolve this issue (it currently is still not available or possible after several months - that's not 'technical issues', that's intentional negligence).
Sincerely,
**** ****

We are in receipt of *** ***** rejection of our response sent on March 20, 2024. He has indicated in his response that the complaint remains unresolved, and to resolve it, we need to ensure that all targeted advertising mailed to any of his addresses on file is stopped.

During that time, it is possible that he may receive a few more mailings due to campaigns already in effect. In addition, it is our policy to request a subpoena for any subscriber who requests a copy of account notes or calls. As no further action is to be taken, SiriusXM considers this complaint closed.

Why is it that every time I purchase or lease a vehicle I am almost instantaneously bombarded and harassed by SiriusXM with obnoxious solicitations to get me to spend even more money for a service that I am clearly not interested in? I did not purchase my vehicles because they came with a free trial of SiriusXM radio..... I don't care even the slightest about this. Yet for some strange reason, SiriusXM seems to think it is ok to steal my personal information from various car dealerships so that they can harass me with their unsolicited mailings. I've reached out to SiriusXM, many times ion the past, requesting that they do not send me unsolicited mailings..... and over and over, they refuse to honor my requests. Now why would anyone do business with an entity that is so disrespectful to them? Maybe the geniuses at SiriusXM have noticed that our planet has maxed out its carrying capacity for our species, and our resources are dwindling. Why on Earth, if you care about yourself or others, would you then decide it is ok to carpet bomb our planet with these stupid mailings that consume even more resources?

Hello Mediator,
Thank you for contacting SiriusXM on *********************** behalf. We regret that his recent experience led to a complaint with your agency. After researching his account, it was found that his complaint relates to being contacted by SiriusXM after having service automatically activated in his vehicle by the dealership. He is requesting that this account be deleted from our systems.
When a customer purchases a new vehicle, the dealership will provide the information to SiriusXM to set up the free trial. As requested, we have updated ****************** contact preferences to Do Not Contact. We also requested an immediate stop live calling request.
We respect the **************** and right to privacy; however, due to legal and record-keeping requirements, we are unable to delete his contact information from his account. All **** elements: name,address, phone number, and email address he provided in the complaint have been quarantined and placed in a permanent Do Not Contact Status rather than being eliminated from our systems altogether. This approach is far more protective and ensures all communications are blocked should another car be purchased in the future or if any of these **** elements are captured from another marketing source. Should ****************** have any further questions or concerns, we ask that he contact us utilizing our contact information below.
We have taken appropriate measures to address ****************** concerns. If youd like to contact us regarding this matter, please use the information listed below.

Duplicate charges over billing leaving it up to me to contact them requesting refund and cancel membership. Never requested them came with car when purchased new. I will try to remove app from vehicle next time at dealership. Tried to cancel after free trail period they said they lower subscription if I would consider staying only to bill my credit card without permission for other accounts without consent or permission. They can not provide any proof of me requesting anything from them or agreeing to anything. Its stealing and fraud to use credit card for additional monies.Business Response

Hello Mediator,
Thank you for contacting SiriusXM on *************************** behalf. We regret that his recent experience led to a complaint with your agency. After review, ****************** complaint is regarding our automatic renewal and cancelation policies. Per our Terms and Conditions in the Customer Agreement, subscriptions automatically renew at the rates in effect at the time of each renewal until the subscriber calls us to cancel. In order to cancel a subscription, the customer has the option of contacting us by telephone, online via chat, or text messaging. Our representatives are required to present various offers and discounts that *** be available in order to retain our customers business before canceling any subscription.
On January 20, 2023, **************** activated a Music & Entertainment subscription for 12 months for $4.99 per month, plus fees and taxes. He added his credit card ending in **** to the account for future renewals. SiriusXM is in the card, not present industry (CNP). Customers do not sign any contract; however, the customer cannot sign up for service if they dont agree to our Customer Agreement. During the purchase of a subscription,customers are presented with automatic renewal information. After the purchase is completed, subscribers are sent an email confirmation, which includes automatic renewal information and upcoming renewal charges. Upon review of his billing history, we have seen that his subscription was renewed on the 20th of each month, charging the credit card on file on this date. Upon the July 20, 2023 renewal, we were unable to charge the credit card on file on that date. On August 5, 2023, the $6.54 balance was applied to the credit card. Upon the August 20th renewal, his credit card was charged again. On the November 20, 2023 renewal, we were unable to charge the credit card on file. On December 15, 2023, the $6.44 balance was applied to the credit card. The same issue occurred upon the December 20,2023 renewal, with the payment being applied to the credit card on January 15,****. On January 20, ****, his subscription was again renewed, charging the credit card on file $6.44. At **************** request, the subscription was canceled on this date, and a refund of $6.44 was issued.
A member of our Corporate Solutions Team reached out to **************** to discuss his complaint further; however, he was not interested in speaking with us and stated to cancel his subscription prior to disconnecting the call. As we have yet to be successful in continuing a conversation with ****************, we followed up with an email confirming that there are currently no active subscriptions on his account.

I have been a customer for close to 10 years. My monthly bill was raised without any notice (more than doubled). When trying to reach customer service, I received multiple "error messages," including an error message when trying to cancel the subscription online, despite trying multiple times and on many different occasions. The message that comes up with every cancellation attempt is: "WE'RE SORRY Were experiencing technical issues and are working to resolve it." However, there are clearly no technical issue whatsoever.This company appears to be engaging in deliberate practices to not allow customers to get information about how much they are being billed, and not allowing customers to cancel their contracts.I am requesting that the last bill of $23.05 be completely refunded.Business Response

I have three cars with a subscription to this company. I logged on today to try to remove one of the subscriptions, as the car is no longer used. When I tried to do it online, I was transferred to an agent that repeatedly tried to get me to sign up again and again and again even though I said I refuse all offers and to "CANCEL MY PLAN". Even after all that, they kept asking for verification information even though I gave them everything they needed, including the vehicle's VIN. This is a TRULY deceptive practice. I value my time and feel they owe me an apology and a check for $100 to cover my hourly rate. As you can see, it took 20 minutes to cancel.Business Response

I bought a new vehicle in September, 2023. A 3 month trial for SiriusXM was included. We have a lifetime subscription for Sirius XM dating back to 2006 or so. Lifetime was for three vehicles. We have owned two vehicles covered by the Lifetime subscription. The new vehicle will be the last.December 12 was the last day for the trial SiriusXM. I called Sirius XM and was told the change to lifetime was ready to go. That same day I paid $35.00 to make the change.We had to be gone for a period of time, and when we returned SiriusXM was not in the new vehicle. I called yesterday, 1/4/2024, and several persons on the phone for SiriusXM supposedly made the change. The change was never made, and I received an e-mail saying SiriusXM had cancelled my subscription. Supposedly an official was going to call me, but that was before I received the e-mail.Customer Answer
