Beware of SiriusXM "automatic renewal"
Beware of Sirius Radio!! They have a fradulant method of theft. When you sign up and give sirius your credit card, you are automatically set up for automatic renewal!! If you sign up for anything longer than 1 year program, you are billed for a renewal without your consent. Most of the time, your credit card will have already expired. Then you are sent to collections. The collection company then tells you to call sirius radio to "correct" the error. Sirius Radio then tells you to call the collection company. Sirius will tell you that they are supposed to inform you of this when you sign up but as I have had sirius in 3 different vehicles, I know this is a LIE!!!
BEWARE!!
Automatic Renewal Without Authorization Happened to me too
I bought a new car last year and used the trial that came with it. (I had a pre-existing account with an add-on radio) One day the radio stopped working and I called them and they said I expired. There was no notice. The rep offered me a year at $93. I said fine. There was no automatic renewal discussion. A few days ago, I got an invoice (I didn't put a card on file) saying I now owe them $185 for the automatic renewal that already took place. No previous notice.
I called and told them I didn't authorize this, know that there are better offers available, and would cancel if they stick with this. I was transferred by one rep to another who stuck with this, said it's their policy and nothing would change. I'm thinking I'll have to really cancel and see if I get a retention offer.
