@formercustomer001 If a customer takes out a subscription for a service and then fails to cancel it when they no longer use it, or, they somehow have such financial ineptitude that they ‘forget’ they’ve never cancelled it because they simply never check their statements, then surely that’s entirely the customer’s fault?
For example, just a month ago, I took out a one month trial subscription with the most well known software company in the world. A couple of days ago, I decided that I didn’t want to proceed with paying £8.99 a month, so I cancelled the trial. The onus is completely on me. It isn’t the company involved fault if I don’t cancel the subscription.
I’m still amazed how many people take out TV passes for various channels and then completely forget about them for in some cases, years! Then, lo and behold! they somehow ‘discover’ they’ve been chucking money down the toilet every month because they can’t keep a handle on their own finances. Then all of a sudden, it’s not their fault. It beggars belief.
@formercustomer001wrote:The issue is the company thieving from former customers, using the fact they keep your financial details on file. This in itself surely is a breach of GDPR. Companies have to ask if you still want to be kept on a mailing list/ have your details stored. Let alone financial details! They then use this to take money without your consent or knowledge.
You obviously don't know about GDPR and Internet Providers. They are mandated by law to keep customers data for a set period. I would give you the full details but it would be better for you to do your own research to find out so that the next time you post something you will be factually correct.
Are you able to explain how it was that you paid for a service you stated you never purchased (from your first post) for around 3 years and a half years? You have so far completely evaded that rather important fact.
How does one have absolutely no idea of what is going out of their account for so long and then takes to a public forum and blame in this case BT for apparently breaching GDPR when you could have dealt with this literally years ago? Or have I just completely misunderstood how you ended up in this situation?
