      Account number is ************* I canceled after the year because it went up to 21 but the representative was very insistant when I told him I was at work saying he would then text me. He told me as a valued customer I could have service for 7.27 a month.He argued with me and harrassed me until I agreed to the7.27. He wanted a card he could charge it to. After saying he was not able to charge the card I gave him and he needed to send me a link to pay 7.27. he send me a link for 21. I told him this and he said let me resend it correctly. 3 xs later he was still trying to bill the 21, I receive 5-7 phone calls daily.Today another person tried to do the same. This is harrassment. They refuse to cancel my account. I am not paying what is now 42.00 for this bullying and argumentative tactics. I have the text messages proving their dishonesty.

      Hello
      Mediator,

      Thank you for contacting SiriusXM regarding the
      complaint of ***** *******  We
      regret that her recent experience led to a complaint with your agency.  After researching her
      account, it was found that the complaint is in regards to being billed $20.43
      after being advised that she could get a promotional rate subscription for
      $7.27. 

      On December 4, 2021, via
      our Online Account Center, *** ****** activated a Platinum monthly promotional
      rate subscription at $5.99/month, plus fees and taxes, for the first 12-months
      and added her credit card ending in **** to the account for future renewals.  During the purchase of a
      subscription, customers are presented with automatic renewal information.  After the purchase is
      completed, subscribers are sent an email confirmation which includes automatic
      renewal information and upcoming renewal charges.  On
      December 4, 2022, at the end of the promotional rate term, her subscription
      automatically renewed at our then current rate, however, we were unable to
      charge the credit card on file.  On
      December 6, 2022, *** ****** contacted us though Chat stating that she did not
      renew and she tried to cancel service before it renewed, however, there was no
      option to cancel online.  The
      agent explained our automatic renewal policy and promotional rate subscriptions.  She was again offered
      the same promotional rate subscription that she previously had; which she
      accepted; however, she was at work at that time and asked for the information
      to be sent to her so she could log in at home and make the payment.  The agent explained that
      in order to continue with this offer, a valid credit card will need to be added
      to the account prior to changing the subscription.  We
      sent a secure link to *** ****** to update her credit card on file; however, we
      were unable to charge that card at the time.  As
      we were unable to charge the card, no
      changes were made at that time leaving the $20.43 balance.  On
      January 4, 2023, her monthly subscription again renewed at regular rate,
      leaving a balance of $42.27.  On
      January 12, 2023, her subscription was cancelled as requested, leaving an outstanding
      balance of $26.06.

      A member of our Corporate Solutions Team reached out to *** ******
      to further discuss her complaint; however, to date we have been unsuccessful in
      speaking with her.  As
      we were unable to reach her, we would like to advise her that we have credited
      her account to reflect a $0.00 balance.  Should
      *** ****** wish to speak with us, we ask that she contact out Corporate
      Solutions Team utilizing the information below. 

      We have taken appropriate measures to address *** ******’s concerns.  If you’d like to contact us regarding

      I purchased a car that had SiriusXM included on a free trial. When the trial concluded, SiriusXM began calling me, sending paper advertisements, and sending emails. I have asked them to stop contacting me on four occasions, and I have also blocked one of the phone numbers that they called me from. They did not stop, and have been calling me from different phone numbers.

      I signed up for a basic package with Sirius XM Radio for my 2015 ****** Highlander. When my service expired, they auto enrolled me into a plan that was ***** / month versus **** / month. When I called ***************** they said I agreed to the Terms and Conditions. I would have NEVER agreed to a plan that was 261% more than the plan I signed up for. THIS IS A SCANDAL!

      Hello Mediator,


      Thank you for contacting SiriusXM on *** ****** behalf. We regret that her recent experience led to a complaint with your agency. After researching, it was found that *** ****** complaint resulted from SiriusXMs automatic renewal policy. A paid Subscription will continue for the length of your selected paid Plan ("Subscription Term") and will automatically renew for additional like periods or any other length described in our offer unless you cancel prior to that renewal, your Subscription is canceled by us, or you select a different Plan. Your account will automatically be charged (or you will be billed, as applicable) at the rates in effect at the time of each renewal, plus fees and taxes. If you do not accept the change in pricing, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing prior to the change taking effect.

      On April 20, 2021, ************** purchased a 1-year promotional rate subscription. She verbally agreed to the terms, and a confirmation email was sent confirming her transaction, including automatic renewal information. On April 20, 2022,at the end of the promotional term, her subscription automatically renewed to a full-price package which bills monthly, charging the credit card on file $23.37 per month. 

      A member of our Corporate Solutions Team reached out to ************** to discuss her concerns. We reviewed the automatic renewal policy and advised that she is on a promotional plan with a future deactivation date set for December 27,2023. Should ************** have any further questions or concerns, we ask that she contact us utilizing our contact information below.

      We have taken appropriate measures to address *** ****** concerns. If youd like to contact us regarding this matter, please use the information listed below.

      On 12/23/2022 I cancelled a subscription to Sirius XM. On 12/02/2022 I was automatically charged $281.41 for a 2023 subscription that I paid $108.21 for in December of 2021. I did not authorize payment of this increase. Furthermore, when I contacted someone to cancel this I was offered a fee of $5.99 a month if I would stay with them. So I am told they will refund my account $170.58 and bill accordingly for the remainder of the year. And then when I ask that it just be cancelled I will receive a refund of $264.44. Don't understand why it was ok to set me up with a $5.99 month plan but it isn't ok to refund me the $281.41 I was charged and then charge me for a yearly subscription at a rate of $5.99 a month.

      Hello
      Mediator,

      Thank you
      for contacting SiriusXM regarding the complaint of ***** ********  We regret that her
      experience led to a complaint with your agency.  After
      researching *** ********s account, it was found that her complaint regarding
      charges to her credit card resulted from the 2022 automatic renewal of her
      subscription following her purchase of a promotional rate subscription in 2021.  Per the terms and
      conditions in our Customer Agreement, subscriptions automatically renew, at the
      rates in effect at the time of each renewal, until the subscriber calls us to
      cancel. 

      *** ******* has been a subscriber since 2017 and has been extended several
      promotional rate subscriptions.  These
      subscriptions have been subject to the automatic renewal policy over the years.  On December 1, 2021, *** ******* contacted us to cancel her previous promotional rate subscription that
      was due to automatically renew on December 7, 2021.  In
      lieu of cancellation, she accepted another 12-month promotional rate
      subscription.  During
      that transaction, subscribers are presented with automatic renewal information
      and after purchasing, subscribers are sent an email confirming the transaction
      which includes automatic renewal information.  On
      December 1, 2022, at the end of her current promotional rate term, her
      subscription automatically renewed to a full-priced package, per the terms and
      conditions in our Customer Agreement charging the credit card on file $281.41.  On December 23, 2022, at
      *** *******’s request, we canceled the subscription, leaving a credit balance
      of $264.44 for unused time, this amount was issued back to her credit card on
      December 27, 2022.

      A member
      of our Corporate Solutions team reached out to *** ******* via phone and email,
      however, our attempts to date have been unsuccessful.  As
      we were unable to reach her, we would like to advise *** ******* that we have
      issued an additional refund of $16.97 that was issued on January 4, 2023, as this amount combined with the $264.44
      already refunded totals the automatic renewal charge of $281.41.  We remain available
      should *** ******* wish to discuss this further. 

      We have
      taken appropriate measures to address *** ********* concerns.  If
      you’d like to contact us regarding this matter, please use the information

      I had Sirius Xm as part of a promo from using Walmart plus. I canceled it and never thought about again as I never used it. Promo was 6 months and didn’t use it once. On 11/25/2022 I was charged $16.83 from Sirius. I called same day and was told it would be canceled and my money refunded. Got an email later on it was cancelled and I would get a $10 refund. Account was canceled but no refund of any kind. I have called and chatted and they refuse. One agent said I used the service which is untrue and then twice while chatting they disconnected me. So more phone calls to be given all sorts of other answers but never a refund. Every agent has a different answer. I feel like this is the norm for them to treat people until we forget that little charge but I don’t feel like they are treating people very fair at all. I am a customer service supervisor for my job and I would never speak to anyone the way they spoke to me.

      Starting this week, some of the channels which I subscribe to with Sirius XM quit being available on my radio. Specifically Channel 55 "Country Christmas" is now not authorized. I checked with the channel lineup at Sirius XM for the "Music Showcase" (subscription I have) and it shows this channel both for IN-CAR and streaming. I contacted chat about it now working, and she told me I would need to UPGRADE to get it back.

      Hello
      Mediator,

      Thank you for contacting SiriusXM regarding the complaint of
      ******* ******.  We regret that his recent experience led to a complaint
      with your agency.  After reviewing his
      account, *** *******s complaint resulted from a misunderstanding regarding the
      channel lineup included in his Music Showcase subscription.

      A member of our Corporate Solutions Team spoke with *** ****** and
      explained that the Music Showcase package has a reduced channel lineup and
      channel 55 is not available with this package. 
      We were previously running a Free to Air Campaign that is an automatic
      service that we provide to our customers to allow them to try SiriusXM for two
      weeks without obligation.  During this
      time period, *** ****** would have been able to access more channels than
      usual.   We offered to provide him with a Music &
      Entertainment monthly promotional rate subscription at $5.99 per month for
      12-months; which he accepted.  A refresh
      signal was sent and *** ****** confirmed that he can now listen to channel 55.  Should *** ****** have any additional
      questions or concerns, we ask that he contact us utilizing our contact
      information below.

      We have
      taken appropriate measures to address Mr. Duncan’s concerns.
       If you’d like to contact us regarding this matter, please use the

      SiriusXM's app is designed for streaming. I purchased a subscription and was charged, twice, but not able to access the content in the app. After trying multiple times to resolve the issue by calling customer service, i was told multiple times that i had the wrong team, only to be transferred to another wrong team.i am being financially exploited and this is wrong.

      I received a piece of mail from SiriusXM to re-activate my car's service for 3 months free. On 12/3, I got it activated. I took a 2 hour drive to visit my daughter. After about 50 minutes, the service stopped working. And to this day, it will not come on. I contacted SiriusXM, and was told that the RadioID for my radio was different than what they had on file. I was then told it would cost my $15 to have them fix their mistake for the IDs.

      Thank you for contacting SiriusXM
      regarding the complaint of **** ******.  We
      regret that his recent experience led to a complaint with your agency.  After researching *** ******’s account, it
      was found that his complaint regarding the loss of service after activating a
      3-month trial resulted from the incorrect radio id being activated.

      A member of our Corporate
      Solutions reached out to *** ****** and discussed his concerns with him.  He stated that he activated a 3-month trial
      and about an hour later the service stopped working and upon calling Customer
      Care, he was advised that the incorrect radio id was activated and advised him
      that there would be a $15.00 transfer fee to place the service on the correct
      radio.  We apologized for any inconvenience
      that he experienced and we activated the correct radio id and restarted his
      3-month trial.  Should *** ****** have
      any additional questions or concerns, we ask that he contact us utilizing our information
      below.

      We have taken
      appropriate measures to address *** ******** concerns.

      I did not authorize these charges on my account. Four charges have been added to my account of which i did not approve any. I called Sirius on 12/9 and they refused to refund all 4 erroneous charges. Only refunding half of the $117.20 total. This amount was erroneously charged as I never agreed to continue after a 6 month trial. I want my total refunded and no further charges. Close my account.

      Hello Mediator,

      Thank you for
      contacting SiriusXM regarding the complaint of *********** *****.  We
      regret that his recent experience led to a complaint with your agency.  After researching *** *****’s
      account, it was found that his complaint regarding being billed after signing
      up for a 3-month promotional rate subscription resulted from the automatic
      renewal of his subscription per the terms and conditions in our Customer Agreement.

      On April 25, 2022, via our Online Account Center,
      *** ***** activated a Platinum 3-month for $2.00 promotional rate subscription and
      added his credit card ending in ***** to the account for future renewals.  During the purchase of a subscription,
      customers are presented with automatic renewal information.  After the purchase is completed, subscribers
      are sent an email confirmation which includes automatic renewal information and
      upcoming renewal charges.  On July 25,
      2022, at the end of the 3-month term, *** *****’s subscription automatically
      renewed at our then current rate, charging $29.30 to the credit card on
      file.  His subscription subsequently
      renewed at the end of each renewal term, charging $29.30 the credit card on
      file.  On December 9, 2022, at his request
      the subscription was cancelled, leaving a credit balance of $15.13 for unused
      time.  At that time, *** ***** requested
      a refund for the previous months from July to December as well; however, his
      request for a full refund was denied as there was no prior request for
      cancellation; however, we did provide him with an additional credit of $58.06
      and on December 13, 2022, a refund of $73.19 was issued to the credit card on
      file.

      A
      member of our Corporate Solutions Team spoke with *** ***** and addressed his
      concerns and reviewed the automatic renewal
      policy.  We informed him that as a
      courtesy, we requested an additional refund for $86.34; which was issued on
      December 16, 2022 to the credit card on file Should *** ***** have any further
      questions or concerns, we ask that he contact us utilizing our contact
      information below.

      We have taken appropriate measures to address *** *****’s concerns.  If you’d like to contact us
      regarding this matter, please use the information listed below.
