RE: Account ID: 18004061, Neil J. Gillespie
Yesterday I canceled my subscription to the Washington Post. Today I am asking for a refund of the $4.00 you wrongly charged my bank account, causing an overdraft.
As shown below, I canceled my subscription due to your billing practices. I am age 70 and rely on Social Security income. I requested a billing date on the third of the month to coincide with my Social Security direct deposit. Instead, the Washington Post billed my account $4.00 causing my account to be overdrawn, and to incur a $35 overdraft fee. I cannot afford a $35 overdraft fee, so CANCEL THE WASHINGTON POST.
It must be difficult for The Washington Post to understand the difficulties of surviving on a Social Security retirement income. My account that you charged was down to a 5 cent balance. Five cents! Now my account is overdrawn - $3.95 after you took $4.00.
Provide a $4.00 refund immediately. I cannot afford your newspaper. Thank you.
Sincerely,
/s/

Apparently the Washington Post has a 13 month annual billing calendar using a 4 billing week cycle. In my world the annual calendar has 12 months. So I will no longer purchase the Washington Post. The Washington Post did not refund my $4.00 payment. Fine. THANK YOU JEFF BEZOS for recently cutting a third of the WaPo entire workforce. Sorry/not sorry.
