Really shocking....from the Times. You would have never thought that such a big brand would be involved in this sort of behaviour. I wrote into the Times and explained why I feel like I have been a victim of a simple marketing ploy. I signed up through The Times website for the offer of £1 a week for the first 8 weeks (I sent them the screenshots) for the "School Guides Offer." It had 8 weeks of minimum contract. Monthly rolling contract thereafter. Having checked in on cancelling after the 8 weeks (I was not using the subscription), I was shocked to realise that I was signed up to the 12-month contract, with no cancellation. I feel that I have been mis-lead in the sign-up process, as this is not the impression portrayed by their marketing. The response I have received from The Times hasn’t been great and is very clinical. I explained to them clearly why I believe this is deceiving and a pure marketing ploy. Subscriptions are so easy to un-subscribe everywhere else, why not here!? I completely feel like I have been hoodwinked.
