unfair policies My wife took out a subscription to this service which I only became aware of 1.5 years after she died of cancer. When I approached the company to ask for a refund they said would only refund 6 months, saying that payments before this were ‘finalised’. No amount of explaining that I was completely unaware of the subscription and that it had obviously not been used was any good. I can’t believe they would not make an exception in cases of bereavement.

Sent my complaint about being charged… Sent my complaint about being charged without notice of the free month trial that finished. I was under the impression that I would be advised if I was to continue for the following month. I only found out because of my bank advice. I unsubscribed on their site and sent for reimbursement but no answer. Don't know if they will keep charging

Checked trust pilot after Sub request, Thanks! Just been looking for a document I need. Would be happy to pay a few quid for it but AFTER you create an account, it says you need to add payment details for a free 30 day sub (I was stung by one of these 'cancel anytime' sub things 20 years ago). Looks like things haven't changed. If you are stuck in one of these, phone your bank and say you lost your card, you'll get a new card number so payments won't go through. Really, with today's GDPR rules they shouldn't be retaing your details like this!

Like most people surprised at being… Like most people surprised at being charged (today) - I've never used the service my reading history is blank. So I've cancelled on the scribd website, and also then logged into my payment service (paypal) to cancel future payments. I've also emailed scribd asking them to reverse the payment. Now checking here I see others have been charged even after cancelling, which was not my initial concern. So I'll start with 3 stars assuming good intent on their side, but I will update this review when I hear back from scribd. I do hope they won't try taking any further payments and they reverse my one surprise payment.

Theft and Fraud Facilitators This company has been fraudulently taking money from my account for months. I never signed up, the email isn't my email but they are using my credit card. No way to contact the company if you don't have an account - which I don't, although I seem to be paying for someone else's. Criminal.
