    What has happened to the Toronto Star? They removed unauthorized amounts from my bank account (I had agreed to a promotion that was to be paid upfront in a single payment). I caught the mistake after a month but two incorrect payments were charged to me. I paid for a new promotion and was assured that the amount for the two months that they had charged me for would be returned. I even got an email confirming this. Half of it was returned by credit card and the other was to be returned by cheque. The money by cheque never came. I called them twice and they assured me I would get it. It still didn’t come. Now, I have been told it is too late and no cheque is coming my way. I pressed them further and they agreed to give me a one month credit. This was clearly a concession but not what I had been promised. I have an email saying that the money would be refunded — none of this seems to matter to them. I am sorry about this because I would like to have continued my subscription next year and at this point the one month credit means very little to me as I now have little interest in receiving the paper. I won’t be returning as a subscriber. * ***** ** ****** ** ********* ***** *** ******* ****** ******** **********

    I honestly don't even remember applying for a subscription. But let's assume that I did and that I forgot. I'm here to note that there is no clear way of cancelling a subscription online and that their customer service offices were already closed before I called at 4:30. **** ******** ** ******* ** **** ******** *** ****** ** ****** ** ****** **********

So I pay for the paper but never get it I believe the person delivering paper does, but the paper is stolen, but can not tell witch is the case but if I don't get the paper I pay for I will quit getting paper ( hard copy )

    I bought an annual subscription which does not show up in either their website or the app. I have tried contacting them through the app and emailed them but have never got a response. ** ****** ***** ***** **** ***** ******* they’ll take your money but won’t give you anything in return.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
