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 Utah

Issues with automatically renewing subscriptions or unwanted trial periods are common in Utah, often leading to financial difficulties related to gym memberships, software services, or other recurring payments. Under Utah Code Title 13, Chapter 11, the state's Automatic Renewal Law requires clear disclosure of subscription terms, including cancellation policies, to protect consumers from deceptive practices. Consumers have the right to cancel subscriptions without penalty, provided they follow the stipulated procedures.

Recent legislative updates, such as Utah Senate Bill 123 (2024), have strengthened these protections by mandating companies to send reminder notices before charging consumers for renewals. This bill also requires businesses to provide an easy-to-use cancellation method, such as an online portal or a toll-free phone number. For assistance, consumers can contact the Utah Division of Consumer Protection at (801) 530-6601 to report violations or seek guidance.
