Magzter — Charging credit card without immediate prior permission

Address:	Bangalore Urban, Karnataka

I had taken a Magzter Gold subscription offer a year ago with [protected]@gmail.com as my account id. I was extremely dissatisfied with the product (difficult downloads) and hardy ever used it. Unfortunately, i had done a credit card purchase and so Magzter had my credit card details.

I wasn't aware that the subscription was up for renewal since the subscription was hardly considered worth using. I had already written off my loss on this bad purchase decision. However on the annual renewal date, i was surprised by a text message that my account was charged by Magzter. Please note that there was no prior email or text notifications to warn / notify me that y account would be charged soon. This despite the fact that Magzter otherwise routinely spams my account with their promotion emails.

Had i known that Magzter would again charge me, i would have even ventured to cancel my credit card!!!. I have written back to them for a refund for a subscription that i have no intention of ever using but all i have got is an assurance to the effect is that that they wont charge me again next year in 2018!. As if i am not going to delete my magzter account about 11 months prior to that!!. And they have also promised me store credits which probably would have been better deployed in improving their product and customer response.

I don't want to be a forced Magzter customer. I clearly want a refund for a product that i don't want!. I didn't sign-up to buy a 2 year subscription with payment every year so any renewal has to happen with my explicit permission just prior to charging my credit card.
