For months, Lloyd Walker would regulary get a new coin in the mail. Eventually, Walker says he didn’t bother to look — he already knew what was inside the padded white envelopes.
The packages from the Bradford Exchange, an American company that’s been selling collectibles, trinkets and jewelry since the 1970s, had been coming to his St. John’s home since July.
Walker said he didn’t knowingly sign up for any subscription program, nor does he want the coins he received. But despite writing to the company to cancel, Walker continued to be charged.
With the exception of Ontario, which is beefing up consumer protection legislation, Canada has poor consumer protection legislation, said Tamblyn Watts.
He’s 92 and he wrote a letter of cancellation to the company
I don’t think he knows all the ins and outs of getting out of subscriptions he never signed up to
A letter should be enough really
Not to mention that some shittier companies actually only take opt-out/cancellation by mail, in order to make it more difficult.
A properly addressed and tracked letter should absolutely be enough
For all we know he wrote a letter like this:
