Netflix subscriptions are prepaid. What on earth would give them the idea to sue if your card is declined?
If your current month runs out and your renewal is declined, they just don't authorize you for a second month of service. There's no breach of contract, there's no debt for services rendered, I can't think of a single motivation to sue for this.
What am I missing here?
- amelius 6y agoThey could leave your account open, wait 10 years, then sue you for not paying your bills.
- reificator 6y agoThey could do that, yes. They could also open an account automatically in your name and then sue you over it. I expect both would be equally successful.
- amelius 6y agoThe former could be a natural consequence of neglect + shareholders asking why the cash influx is too low considering the number of actual subscribers. The latter would be fraud.
- perl4ever 6y agoMany if not most agreements these days seem to specify charging up front and reserve the right to cancel your service for any reason, so credit doesn't enter into it. I don't know about Netflix specifically. What seems more likely is that they would blacklist you if you're obnoxious.
- zepearl 6y agoThe post was probably referring to companies/subscriptions in general. The "contract" is separate from the method & frequency of the payments => even if you stop paying you still own them the old&new amount(s) as long as the contract hasn't been cancelled/terminated.
- kalleboo 6y agoCompanies in Germany will actually keep raking up your debt and call a collections agency on you. It's horrible.
