If you’re sure you didn’t. You need to send them a screenshot of cancellation email confirmation.
Step 3: Send Subsequent Email To Shaw Academy
Sending a screenshot of subscription cancellation is not where it ends. You need to keep hounding them with valid questions. Ask for an evidence of email confirmation that your account was renewed.
They might try to explain to you that ‘This free trial model is similar to what the likes of Netflix, Spotify and all other subscription providers offer.’
Luckily you have so many subscriptions, but they are the ONLY ONE who doesn’t inform the customer that they are going to be charged and that the subscription is due for renewal. There now, is your card, a punch to their gut. Use it!
