They don't cancel your subscription when your credit card number stops working. They keep charging you, and send the account balance to a collections agency.

They don't cancel your subscription when your credit card number stops working. They keep charging you, and send the account balance to a collections agency. So hopefully you signed up with a fake name and fake address.

- ipaddr 5y agoCredit card fraud can be fun.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoDo they keep letting you read the paper too? If not... well, I guess they can ask for whatever they want, but if you took it to court I can’t imagine you’d be on the hook for payment, your contract with NYT has clearly ended. Has this ever actually happened to anyone? I’ve seen it mentioned in several threads and it seems exceedingly implausible...
- jrockway 5y agoIt's happened to me. My credit card expired, I kept reading the Times without noticing that billing was broken, and I got a letter from a collections agency complaining on their behalf.
- teaearlgraycold 5y agoSeems like something that's easy to ignore. Collections agencies expect to get back a fraction of the original payments.
