Reports
What people are reporting
Experiences shared by members of the public and reviewed before posting. They are the writers’ own accounts and opinions.
Reports will appear here as people share them. Each one is reviewed before it’s posted. In the meantime, here are the problems people run into most.
Streaming services
- Free trials that roll into paid plans without a reminder
- Price increases announced by email that are easy to miss
- Ad-supported plans that cost less but still show many ads
TV remote apps
- A 'free' download that asks for a weekly payment before any buttons work
- A short free trial that quietly turns into a paid plan
- Ads that make the app look like it comes from your TV's maker
Gym memberships
- A low monthly rate with a separate yearly fee billed months later
- Contracts that renew automatically after the first term
- Cancellation only in person or by certified mail
Event ticket fees
- Fee labels like 'service fee' that do not say what the fee pays for
- Countdown timers that push you to buy before comparing prices
- Resale listings that look like official tickets at much higher prices
Internet, cable and phone bills
- Promo prices that jump after 12 or 24 months without a clear reminder
- Monthly fees to rent a modem or TV box you could replace
- Extra line items added after the advertised price
Homeowners insurance
- Wind or hurricane deductibles set as a percentage of the home's insured value, which can be far larger than a flat deductible
- Coverage limits that do not match today's cost to rebuild the house
- Policies that renew automatically at a higher price with little notice beyond the bill
