Had a similar experience to those on this thread, money still being taken after cancelling on the website and only receiving confirmation that it had been cancelled after I contacted them directly by email. Fully aware that it's a strategy employed by a lot of subscription based companies but I feel like it stings a bit more when its pulled by a company, within a smallish industry, that is built around a common love for a hobby. Carp fishing is an egalitarian pursuit with people from all walks of life coming together on the bank, so it feels wrong that they've set up a business model that deliberatley misleads fellow anglers.
As for the content you get for the money, I'd say about 25% of it was value for money. Really enjoyed the 'For The Record' series with famous anglers who've caught some of the most iconic carp in the land, but not sure if I consider gear reviews of products Elliott Gray admits he hasn't used or a video of him taking his Mrs fishing worthy of the subscription fee in any way.
Much better content for free on YouTube.

In reply to Post #52 Quote... This is a new accepted norm of any genre of subscriptions. bit like the try free for a month then you forget to cancel and they take the money for the next month.
It's really not the same thing at all though is it?
You being enticed into a subscription with a free month, and then forgetting to cancel, is your fault.
You cancelling your subscription, then being charged for many months afterwards is a whole different ball park altogether. I've now seen lots of people saying the exact same thing. Not just here but also on Faceache.
I have tonnes of subscriptions. Netflix, Disney, YouTube etc etc. When I cancel, it's cancelled instantly and no one takes anymore money. Not ever. If they did, I would have the absolute raving.

In reply to Post #50 Shocking, can’t things like this be reported?

In reply to Post #18 I take back what I said. Even though I had cancelled they've still taken my money for another 3 months.
So cancelling with the bank. Livid. Won't be resubscribing again now.

In reply to Post #46 The company makes it unfairly difficult to cancel subscriptions.
And that is so wrong. I am sure they know exactly what they are doing

In reply to Post #45 Beware Cypography subscription cancellation. The company makes it unfairly difficult to cancel subscriptions. I had to cancel the subscription at source. Lesson learned. The content was surprisingly crap too.

In reply to Post #41 I presume he has to pay the people that appear in/on it?

In reply to Post #38 Sounds like 64k of that is from people who can’t unsubscribe
