What is the New York Times Settlement About?
You may be part of a new settlement reached with The New York Times and the New York State Office of the Attorney General over allegations about how NYT handled cancellations for digital and home delivery subscriptions during certain time periods.According to the New York Attorney General, NYT made it unreasonably difficult to cancel subscriptions, especially digital ones. The problems centered on process, not billing errors. The lawsuit alleged that:
• Subscribers could sign up online, but often could not cancel online
• Many customers were forced to call customer service, sometimes during limited hours
• Callers faced long hold times or repeated transfer attempts
• Some people reported being offered repeated retention pitches before cancellation was processed
• In certain cases, billing continued longer than customers expected after they tried to cancel
New York law requires that if a consumer can sign up online, they must also be able to cancel in a simple, comparable way. The AG said New York Time's system did not meet that standard for years. If you are an Eligible Subscriber, you can submit a claim to receive a one time $14 restitution payment.
