I was on the phone for over 2.5 hours talking to idiots at XM. While doing our taxes a few weeks ago, the wife noticed that they had been charging me $85.xx every 3 months from my bank account. I didn't know because she handles bills/banking. She thought it must be something I was paying for. I paid for a full year in advance for XM/Nav traffic last February. So WTF was the extra $350 last year for? I finally got someone less stupid on the phone who said its for a home XM receiver and subscription for it, which I don't and never have had. I explained this to 3 different levels of morons but they simply couldn't seem to understand that I never wanted, ordered, nor received any XM home equipment. They just kept saying that they emailed me a confirmation and it was activated. But not by me! I likely deleted their email as spam like every other email from XM because I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM!
The supervisory moron tells me that she will go ahead and cancel my home XM subscription. Great because I didn't order it! Now what about the $350 or so you have been charging me in error for the past year, when can I expect my refund? Sorry, we cant refund any past charges for service. WTF? But I didn't order or receive any service! Sorry, can't refund it. Can't or won't? Neither. Really? Really.
Because it's been for the past year, I can only dispute the last charge from the 4th quarter because the bank will only allow you to refute fraudulent charges from within the past 90 days. So Im screwed out of over $250 dollars for service I never had or ordered from XM Satellite radio. Wow.
Nothing personal against you XMMAN, I know it's not your fault personally, but your employer sucks donkey *****. I truly hope they go belly up as a company and if there's anything I can do to promote or hasten their demise, I'm willing. Any company who's policy is to not refund fraudulent charges that have been charged in error rather than keep a customer happy and continuing to renew is pretty shortsighted and stupid.
Fuck you XM and let Sirius take one up the ass too.

LOL. Reading my post afterward I had to chuckle becsue it does seem like the ranting of an enraged madman doesn't it? I got really angry about it and reading this thread brought it back up. I'm usually a pretty laid back guy, right?
I do still hope XM/Sirius DIAF though. And gets ball cancer.

Thanks bro.. maybe I'll loose my job and my G also.. Just because you had a bad experience, and i'm am truly sorry for that, doesn't mean that everyone who works for a company deserves to loose their job. I know your a good guy, you've helped me a few times on here, but think of the losses we would take as a company if anyone could call and say "hey my XM wasn't working for the last year, give me my money back".

When my free trial ran out they would call me at work every week with offers and I would always ask if I could get Howard Stern and they would say "no sir, this is only for XM" and I would say then no I'm not interested. Well they finally smartened up and the girl I spoke to on my "weekly call" said they had a best of Sirius package that included Stern so I asked how much and she gave me the whole XM package with the best of Sirius package for 3 months at 9.99 so I took it. So when the 3 months are about to expire I just plan to call them and say I'm gonna cancel and I'm sure they'll give me another great offer to stay! They are so desperate for subscribers!

FYI, i called to cancel and they offererd me the $77 dollar deal, then they offered me 1 free month, then they offered me 3 free months: which I took but will still cancel after that.
XM Traffic is absolutely worthless.
Being able to listen to Pandora via my iPhone killed XM for me.

Even the sound through Pandora was good through my droid. It should be better if I pay the $36 a year for it.

XM has come and gone. There, I said it again. My iPhone has complete traffic and the content on XM is non intuitive to access, on-demand user interface is non existent, and content selection is archaic. It will suffer a slow and painful demise.

I think it's still worth fighting for, clearly you shouldn't be paying for something you didn't ask for, but you might also have to take one in the ***** this time. The fact that you didn't discover the mistake (or fraud or however you think it went down) for a year is pretty poor on your part.

Jeez, you must be one of those same CSRs that didn't understand his problem. It's not that the service wasn't working, it's that they were charging for a product he never ordered in the first place. The flip side of what you are saying is, what if XM just decided to start randomly charging many of its customers for products they never asked for and refused to refund their money?
