Slowhand

How much are we talking about here? Is it worth it?

Probably about £25?

Not sure if that question is relevant to the substantive point of this thread.

It's "relevant" enough. Why did you continue paying for a magazine you hadn't received for six months?
I'd have been in contact after they missed one issue, not six!

Fair enough.

The continuing payment was "passive" (I didn't write a cheque or send money each month, the firm simply collected the money from my card account). It's nice to get the magazines, but like I said, I have a life, and magazines are only a small part of it.

My original post on the subject was as much to alert others who may run into similar problems, as to explore ways of securing a refund for myself. I leave others to decide whether the effort is "worth it".

Latest update is that I have in fact had a reply from The Magazine Service advising that a refund is being processed and that they have cancelled my subscription CPA as I had requested. If that turns out to be the case, then the story will have a happy ending.....
