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.

Charged me despite no validated email Apparently I signed up months back to Scribd. The issue was that the email address I entered was incorrect and would definitely have bounced! So no welcome email, no receipts etc. Yet despite not having a validated email address they continued to charge me a monthly fee. Once I saw the recurring payment they only refunded 1 month subscription. Surely this is not legal to charge someone without a validated email address??? I hope the document I read was worth it, as I'm $100 out of pocket :-(

Illegally taking my money This company has been taking money fraudulently from my account for months. I emailed them requesting my money back but they have ignored me. Disgraceful company. How is Scribd allowed to trade as a company with such illegal practices as to continue to take money from peoples bank accounts and then not refund the money. This company needs to be investigated the Government authorities.

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!

They will steal your money! Don’t make the mistake of giving your card details to this app. They will steal your money. I’ve been trying to get a refund for weeks they keep telling me the money never left my account as they cancelled the transaction but they took my money and it’s all a lie!
