This phone number came as a “recent customer” record from [redacted] that had a past due balance.  Everything that transpired with the phone calls to this number was done with the technology of an automated dialer.  The dialer recognized an answering machine when it dialed this number each time,  and coded the disposition as such.   It’s extremely rare, but the dialer could have heard some music or a sound right away that it mistakenly identified the call as an answering machine while the customer was picking up to answer it.  Otherwise, it usually will ring four times before it will code it as an answering machine.   We use a cloud-based dialer from a company out of California named Five9 and we have not been experiencing this problem elsewhere, but it is possible that the technology did not do its job properly.  Our IT people will check and see if they can find anything that may have malfunctioned during these call attempts. We have placed this phone number on the Do Not Call List so it will not be called again by our tele[redacted]eting vendor. We apologize for the trouble and inconvenience we have caused this customer.

It is our understanding that this has been resolved.  We are under the impression that the consumer is no longer getting the papers.

We sincerely regret the issues the customer has experienced. We are contacting the Senior Director of Delivery Services so this can be addressed quickly.In light of the inconvenience, we are applying 2 weeks of credit to the customer's account. We will follow up with the distribution...

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
While [redacted] is correct in the statements made in his message, I would like to reiterate the fact that regardless of the problems at the point of sale, I was still being charged for a newspaper 5 days a week that I never received once since October 28th. The auto renewal would not have been as much of an issue had I still be receiving a newspaper every Wednesday- Sunday (the primary reason being that IF I had still been receiving the newspaper I was evidently subscribed to, I would have realized I was still paying for it). The refund should never even have been a question considering I was paying for something that was never delivered.

[redacted]

We are deeply sorry for the delivery issues that our valued subscriber encountered.  We have reached out to the consumer, and have confirmed with him that a refund in the amount of [redacted] has been processed on 9/16/15, which he will be receiving as a credit on his credit card.  I have...
