Being billed for a canceled subscription

The charge for Acorn canceled subscription is months now still on my credit card. And by the way, Acorn disconnected my call after a long wait time with no call back.

I will never add auto billing to a subscription again. Very disappointed in Acorn and Roku as you can't reach either.

Miss information between Prime and Acorn, still unresolved. All I wanted to do was pay for annual subscription, easy, but not!!! Acorn said Prime could arrange this, Prime couldn't, they could only do monthly, they suggested I return to Acorn, due to time difference it isn't easy to get through, I am in UK, it would be great if Acorn had UK customer service centre.

Original review Oct 18, 2024

I cannot find a UK customer service phone number, calling US not knowing your time difference isn't helpful. I wanted to register for annual membership, I'm seriously thinking about how wise this is after my experience today, a call back would be helpful or give me a UK number

Cancel account. Cancel customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Never could pull up the shows i wanted, even though they were currently on Acorn.

Also, tried to call their customer service account to cancel--would Not allow me to speak with a person--said I had to do online.

That is unacceptable!!!

Unbale to cancel account, got charged regrdless. Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Unable to cancel account, their link on the website doesn't work. Repeated emails to support result in identical response that the ticket has been resolved but nothing changes and I get charged again after these repeated requests and assurance that cancellation was resolved.

Stay away from this scam. Multiple reports of exactly same issue by other customers on the web.Sta S

Formal Demand for Refund - Acorn TV Subscription

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

To:Customer care

Acorn TV

RE:Formal Demand for Refund - Acorn TV Subscription

I am writing to address an issue concerning my Acorn TV subscription.

On July 9th, 2019, I submitted a cancellation request for my Acorn TV subscription. I received an email confirmation of the cancellation, Subject: Your Acorn TV Subscrip Has Been Canceled, and the statement, "We're sorry to see you go!"

To my dismay, upon recent scrutiny of my financial statements, I discovered that despite the cancellation on July 9th, 2019, my credit card has continued to be charged $6.99 monthly.

This unauthorized deduction has persisted for fifty-four months, resulting in a cumulative charge of $377.46.

Considering the circumstances above, I formally demand a full refund of the total amount of $377.46.

Please initiate the necessary steps to process the refund at your earliest convenience. I expect the reimbursement to be credited promptly to the original payment method.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of the actions taken to address this issue.

I am prepared to escalate this matter to relevant consumer protection agencies or legal authorities to seek a solution if necessary.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
