Ms. [redacted],  Please accept our condolences in the loss of your mother.  I apologize for the confusion with the refund on your mothers account.  I have researched her account found the error and see that her account should have been paid until 9/24/17.  The newspaper was stopped...

on 08/16/17 leaving 39 days left on the paid subscription. I will be submitting a refund request for $15 for the remaining balance on the account.  I have attached documentation of the payment / paid through date and stop date on the account.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
Assuming the account has actually been cleared, I am satisfied with that. However the reason given makes absolutely no sense. Whoever wrote it didn't even carefully read the complaint. The account in question was created without any action from my father. The subscription was created and expired on the same day. No papers were ever delivered for the subscription. I will accept the response when BND accepts in writing full responsibility for creating the bogus subscription and provides some reasonable explaination.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
