I've just opened a parcel with three full sized Baylis and Harding great body products. It contained a slip with, Thank you for subscribing to Vogue magazine, I didn't though. Can anyone help me out on this one ?
Thanks.

My experience (with other companies like hearst) is that you have one DD per subscription.
You have total control over DDs under the DD guarantee.

I had an option of either add another DD or use the existing one. I went with the existing one - tbh, if they're awkward I can always cancel both and stick with just Linux Voice :P

Just I've heard horror stories with people cancelling DDs and getting late payment black marks on their credit file, but that might only be for mobile phones etc.

I'm not 100% on this but I think it could have been with Glamour.

You don't have a credit account with a magzine so they don't go on credit reports. I'm pretty sure they can't mark your credit file.

But to be on the safe side check the Ts&Cs.
Most I've seen allow you to cancel during the trial.

Hi just looking for a bit of advice really please, I ordered Match of the day mag trial offer 3 for £3 and have been waiting for them to take the money so I can cancel the DD, we have had 2 issues and today they took the £3 but have also taken the full subscription amount of £36 something.

How do I stand here? I was going to ring them tomorrow as we still have a copy left to go.

Thanks for any help.

Call or email them.
They might offer a refund straight away.

Don't worry about the outstanding copy. You'll get it.
They always send out the whole free trial because it's just easier for them to send the whole lot rather than start fiddling about with individual subscriptions to save 1 copy.

If they aren't helpful then you can go to your bank and get help under the DD guarnatee.
Don't worry - you have a lot of rights under the DD scheme but I'd give the magazine company a chance to refund you first.
In my experience they are usually pretty quick with emails.

Thank you Lisyloo, I'm on it now

Recent gifts:

With CN traveller I got Como shambala shower gel and a roller ball balm - worth together £19. I believe it said the gift came after the trial but I got mine upfront. I'd say it unisex.

With tatler the Elemis moisuriser I got was 50ml and a gradual tan.

Vanity fair says the gift start after the trial. I'll wait and see.
