Illegal Subscription Lawyer

Easy to sign up, impossible to cancel. California's Automatic Renewal Law says subscriptions must be honest about the terms and let you cancel as easily as you joined.

Subscriptions Must Play by the Rules

California's Automatic Renewal Law (Business & Professions Code § 17600 et seq.) requires companies to clearly disclose renewal terms, get your affirmative consent, send you a confirmation, and offer a cancellation method as easy as signup. Companies that hide terms or trap you in charges are breaking the law.

Violations We See
Auto-renewal terms buried in fine print
Cancellation that requires a phone call you can't reach
Cancel buttons hidden in menus or 'retention' flows
Charges continuing after you tried to cancel
Free trials that flip into paid subscriptions silently
Pre-checked boxes instead of real consent
What You Can Do About It
Recover the charges you shouldn't have paid
Court orders requiring easy online cancellation
Claims under the ARL, UCL, and False Advertising Law
Class actions against subscription companies that trap customers
Statutory remedies for recurring violations
Free review of your signup and cancellation history

How We Handle Subscription Cases

1

Compare Signup to Cancellation

The law is simple: canceling must be as easy as signing up. We compare exactly how the company made you agree and how it let you out.

2

Document the Charges

We help you preserve signup screens, cancellation attempts, and billing statements that prove the pattern.

3

Recover and Stop the Charges

We pursue your money back and court orders requiring the company to change how it renews and cancels subscriptions.

Your Remedies

California's subscription and consumer-protection statutes carry real consequences for companies that trap customers.

  • Refunds of unauthorized and improperly renewed charges
  • Injunctive relief requiring honest renewal disclosures
  • Civil penalties for willful violations
