What is a subscription cancellation dispute?

Subscription cancellation disputes arise when companies continue charging after cancellation, make cancellation unreasonably difficult, or charge for renewals without clear consent. The FTC’s “Click to Cancel” rule and state consumer protection laws provide increasing protections.

Subscription Cancellations in Tennessee

In Tennessee, consumers often face challenges with unwanted subscriptions such as gym memberships, automatically renewing services after trial periods, or magazine subscriptions. Common issues include complicated cancellation procedures, hidden automatic renewal clauses, and denial of refund requests. Under Tennessee Code Title 47, Chapter 18, consumers are protected against unfair and deceptive practices related to subscription agreements, ensuring transparency and fairness in contractual obligations.

The Tennessee Automatic Renewal Act, recently updated in 2024, mandates that businesses must clearly disclose renewal terms and obtain explicit consent from consumers before charging them for renewal periods. Additionally, consumers have the right to cancel subscriptions at any time without facing unreasonable barriers, as stipulated in Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-104. If a business fails to comply, consumers can report violations to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs at (615) 741-4737.

Recent legislation, including Senate Bill 1234 (2024-2025 session), strengthens protections by requiring businesses to send advance cancellation reminders for subscriptions with automatic renewals. This bill also imposes penalties on companies that engage in deceptive subscription practices, further empowering consumers to assert their rights.
