Magazine subscriptions

Options
At Christmas, I subscribed to GREECE magazine direct from the publisher Merricks Media. After receiving one magazine, I found out that the company has gone into administration. The publisher John Weir has now set up Evolve Digital Publishing Ltd and has bought the rights to a number of magazines (not GREECE). I am hacked off that they took my money, a month previously (only £28) had no notification from them that they had gone bust and have not replied to any of my emails.
What really annoys me is that I always bought the magazine each month direct from the newsagent for the last 3 years. When I decided to take out a subscription, they go bust!
I take it that I cannot reclaim my lost subscription?

    Probably by Writing to the Administrator, You probably wont be getting anything back, As your name will be at the very bottom of a long list of people waiting to get paid.
  • Dear efremis,

    Depending on how you paid for your magazine you may still be able to get your money back. I paid using my Visa Debit card and after being left high and dry by merricks Media's collapse I use the chargeback process and got al my money back minus the cost of two issues of Greece magazine I recieved. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/mfi-administration-help
