Spotify are stealing money from me and I can't stop it!

For 6-months now I've been trying to cancel a Spotify account that I didn't think I'd ever setup.  I once went part way through a setup process but never followed through and have hence never ever used the service. I have been unable to login or retrieve any user details and hence, cannot cancel thgis subscription myself.  I have had no response to help requests and have been left with no option but to get my bank to help Barclays.  They have sent a notice asking it to be stopped but to no avail and are hence now escalating legally. This is nothing short of theft.

Thank you, but this happened last year. After 6 months (yes I filed my first request around March '14, and after continuous efforts I only stopped getting charged in October'14) my issue was resolved. Yes I CONSTANTLY replied to my support emails, I did everything I possibly could to get them to hear me, but I never heard from them, and of course nothing was ever done for me until months and months later. Never even got an apology. 
I only posted here b/c I was reviewing my finances recently and was reminded of this travesty. I felt the need to tell that story so that its further reaffirmed that alot of people have experienced this sort of thing, and I can't express how messed up it is. You can't steal money from cusomers. It destroys our trust. I will never subscribe to Spotify again. I've had friends who expressed interest in doing so, but I had to warn them to only do it if they are 200% on board for it, because if they ever decide to cancel they can expect to lose more than $50 (yes that adds up for us recent graduates) Fortunately they listen, because yes, money doesn't grow on trees, and customers don't deserve to be treated like that.

  • My contacts are receiving spam from my email, how can I stop?

    What is the best way to scan for virus on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.8).  Yesterday at 10am I started receiving numerous bounced emails in my inbox from random contacts in my address book-some that are very old and I haven't used for years (hence the bounce-back).  Also had a few friends email me back saying they were getting spam from me.  Shut down my computer and it seemed to stop, however this morning at 10am it started all over again!  Yikes!  I have three mail accounts including yahoo mail which is where some of the contacts came from originally, although I have since added them to my Mac address book. What is my best course of action?  Thanks for your help!!!

    Yahoo email is famous for beiing hacked and has nothing to do with your computer. Most of the time.
    That is not to say it is your Mac that is doing this.
    If you really think it is something on your Mac then turn it off for a day and see if these contacts are still gettig emailsfrom you on that day. If they are and you did not use your computer that day then it is your Yahoo email system that has been hacked.
    Also what you could do right now is log on to your Yahoo email and change the password. If the emails stop then again it is your Yahoo email acount that has been hacked and not your Mac.

  • BT Are Stealing Money From Customers

    Hi, i recently. Contacted a BT sales agent who, explained the new BT Package. I paid a fee of £141 up front, as was explained this allowed for cheaper monthly payments. The funds have been taken from my card. I did not get an order reference proviced to me as the sales person explained there few things to sort out and would call back and if i missed the call i would get an email witht he details.
    When i contacted BT today. They have no record of an order placed. to the address or me.
    I have the sales persons name, but feel it inappropriate to mention on a forum.
    From talking to a advasor at BT today, it is not looking positive i will be getting the money back as there is record of.
    Question : Is there a governing body i can complain to.?
    Thanks

  • How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

    I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

    We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
    Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
    Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
    Format the drive
    It should now work on both OSs; report back

  • WHY is BT stealing money from a disabled woman ???...

    Since 30th December 2011 I have been having massive trouble with BT.  Firstly my broadband just stopped and despite my trying to get this sorted it took BT over 11 days to finally get my broadband up and working.  I had to put up with no landline for up to 4 days (Im still waiting to be told why) and then I was told that i had "cancelled" by broadband - which I had not.  The customer service team were rude, unhelpful and told downright lies.  Very few of them would actually give thier names and one I made an official complaint about when she called me back and told me "BT will not help you any further" this after a very frustrating call with her that ended up by me ending the call.  I am a severely disabled woman of 57 years old who is totally dependant on my phone and broadband.  I am housebound and the major problem for me was the fact my electiricty top up is done online with British Gas.  I was actually down to less than £1 of electricity and had to leave my home overnight as I was extremly frightened i would be left in the dark and the cold.  Friends had to come and collect me.  I must have dealt with over 40 customer service people - all useless and liars. 
    I have been promised by Michelle that I will be compensated and my outstanding monies returned to me - this is not proving to be the case, she promised me a cheque had been sent out to me last Thursday 12th January 2012 but as this was a blatant lie of course the cheque has NOT arrived.  She then sent me an email telling me she has been off ill this week for 2 days by way of explanation for not calling me as she promised, she is back in work - why no call ?????
    No care has been shown whatsoever, despite me telling them all i was severely disabled and that the stress of this was making me very ill.  I was constantly reduced to tears, lets keep in mind i have had several heart attacks in the last 2 years and my heart condition (as was clearly explained to BT) is triggered by STRESS.  They just dont care. 
    I am now changing to another phone company and this is where BT have now got seriously nasty and they are actually stealing money from me.  I am being charged for the rental of the line and broadband service and other services despite the fact i have already paid these charges in advance on my October 2011 bill.  It is surely fraud.
    Nobody from BT will call me or reply to me.  I have this morning sent a final email to Michelle from the Direct Debit Team and if i get no reply then i have no option but to go to the Onbudsman. 
    What is being done to me is nothing short of deception, fraud and deceipt.
    I will take this as far as I can go - even legal action. 
    I would also add that BT have deleted thier customer service numbers that I called so i cannot prove the calls were made, I suppose thier "recorded calls" will also be deleted as well.  One of the calls deleted was made by thier own engineer from my landline, apparently he was not in my home nor was he ever on my landline - he must have been an apparition, he told BT on that phone call that i was indeed severely disabled and extremely vulnerable and he also was shocked at the way i was being treated.  I do however have access to this engineer. 
    Is there anybody at BT who will have the guts and the honesty to deal with this ?????? i doubt it.

    I spoke this morning with yet another Billing Operator her name is "Rabhikka" she told me to not pay the bill that was generated until BT sort out this problem, I asked her to email me this - and yep youve guessed - 3 hours later and no email.  Why wont BT staff back up in an email what they tell you on the phone????????  It appears they are now charging me line rentals and broadband charges up to April 2012 - i leave BT 1st February 2012.  What part of that do BT not get?????  Was also told if I pay the £50 outstanding because of these charges then at some point BT will re-imburse me, yep i got money to burn.  Tell you what lets get really radically thinking here WHY DONT BT JUST PAY ME BACK WHAT THEY OWE ME ?????????  Wierd concept but easier surely................ I have sent the guy who has answered below my telephone number - lets see if he calls.

  • Why does apple not stop these app that steal money from small children

    Why does apple not stop these app that steal money from small children

    In the final analysis it is down to parents to use the parental control features. 
    In addition to that, parents should regularly check the nature of all downloaded apps available to their children.
    Yours are the chidren ... and yours, the responsibility.

    No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

  • Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

    Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

    I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
    I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
    So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
    Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

    Hi All,
    I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
    What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
    Thanks in advance,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

    Hi ..
    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
    Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
    Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

  • Hi , I live in Pakistan , please tell me that from where and how can I buy original iPhone 5 ?

    Hi , I live in Pakistan , please tell me that from where and how can I buy original iPhone 5 ?

    There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
    Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
    If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.
