Business ProfileforThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution

On March 21, 2024 the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper offered me an attractive price for three months of their on-line newspaper. They told me I could not pay with a check, only with a credit card. Little did I expect they made this attractive offer not to get me hooked on their newspaper, but instead to get my credit card information so they could deceptively sign me up for services I did not want and could not cancel.After I learned the AJC had charged my account, I phoned them and spoke with ****** (ID# ****** on July 8. She told me the AJC informed me of their action by email. We have no record of this email and would immediately have taken steps to stop them if we had received this email ****** also told me on July 8 that I could not cancel until July 14, but could offer no legitimate reason why The AJC newspaper has lost the majority of its subscribers and so suffered a dramatic drop in advertising revenue. Apparently, their current effort to compensate for this is to unethically cheat their remaining customers.The small amount of money involved is not the point; my credit card being openly robbed by a desperate business entity is an appalling act of contempt I cannot tolerate.I am hoping the Better Business Bureau will shame this corrupt company from cheating me. I am asking for a PROMPT return of their deceitful charge.
