Needs to be shut down
Sirius does not understand customer service and should be shut down. I just got off a 30 minute call, most if it on hold, just to cancel my service. They put the hard sell on me with a "one time offer" which I said OK to but only if it cancelled after one year and I did not get billed again. They said their system cannot do this (you mean would not?) so I cancelled altogether. They make you call them for everything so they can hard sell you. I feel like I just dealt with a used car salesman. Good riddance!

Their $600 mistake
On Sept 23 an Unknown event (not my request) caused my subscription to change to a Lifetime subscription. A $600 charge was posted to my account. In the process of correcting it, they 'needed' to restart my annual subscription by charging me and setting my annual start date to Sept 25. If they hadn't done this Lifetime subscription screw-up I would have renewed in November a full two months away. So I get a second charge - this for around $180. THEN I hear that refunds may take up to 10 business days. No problem! Like I have $600 to lend them for two weeks, and it's no problem to pay my $180 now instead of in November. They of course "appreciate my understanding, and understand my aggravation". When did I offer my "understanding"?! Sure they do. What kind of 'system' is this? Is this legal?

Billed for service after the accoutn was cancelled
We had cancelled our sirius subscription over a year ago. I was surprised todiscover $157.00 debited from our checking account. When I called sirius to demand a refund they told me that I had called in and renewed my subscription a few days prior to me being charged which of course we had not. I was then told that they would only provide a partial refund because the service was activated and the billing cycle is monthly. They were expecting me to pay for a month of service! It took me having to wait for quite some time to speak to a manager and threatening to have the charge reversed by filing a formal complaint through my bank to finally get a refund.
Serious left meI feeling like I had been mugged for $157.00 and leaves me to question how many other customers have "renewed" their service.

YET ANOTHER RIP OFF
Yet another person turned over to a collection agency by SIRIUS after paying for 1 service period I found they automatically enrolled me in another and charged me without my permission. Where are all the lawyers, this has to be a lawsuit in the makings against SIRIUS. I really thought this was a scam against SIRIUS and was astounded to find out this is their business practice.

Billing/Cancellation
After the first year of free internet I though it was a good service and decided to renew for one year. After that one year was over they automatically charged my credit card and tried to renew my service on a credit card that was stolen, then sent me a past due notice and told me I had to pay. So once again...i figure this was just a fluke...and decided to renew my service. This time I payed with a check so they couldn't try to automatically renew my service. Here I am again...receiving a notice telling my I have to pay are they are turning me over to a collection agency for services that I didn't receive. If I wanted to continue service I would have renewed. I don't want to renew nor can i afford to renew and now i have to pay this service. Only am I am paying this service after being yelled at by a manager and hung up on before I could barely speak two words. And of coure I tried calling back...but never could get thru to anyway. This service and company is a joke.

Refuse to correct their own error
I had an annual subscription to Sirius from March 2009 through Feb 2010. On Feb. 6th, 2010 I called Sirius and cancelled my renewal so I would not be billed for another year. This part was sucessful. However, the phone clerk put a wrong date or something into their system and they charged me a $75 cancellation fee. I was never notified of this charge until I received a collection notice from EOS CCA saying I now owed them $80 as Sirius had assigned the debt to them. I immediately called Sirius to figure out what was wrong. The call center worker explained that their system showed I had indeed called on the above date and that they had made an entry error that resulted in an early termination fee. He then went on to say that he couldn't do anything about it and I had to call the collection agency to correct their error. Fine, I have now tried several times, spending over three hours on the phone, to contact EOS CCA to find out how they can correct Sirius' error and remove the negative credit report from my credit score. I cannot get anyone on the phone. I tried to then e-mail Sirius customer service, surely if I explained all of the situation and they could check the computer records they could resolve the issue. I received a response back that was more of the same "sorry, our fault, but we aren't going to do anything more because it is in collections, too bad" How can a company function like this, do they not have a single person working there that can think that maybe they should correct this issue instead of continuing to make me be further inconvenienced. Never, Never, Never have any dealings with this company, they have zero customer service.

They just lost out a potential customer along w/ leaving a horrible impression on an already active user
I had a horrible experience with Sirius - it started last Friday when I was on hold to speak with a representative for 30 minutes. I tried calling again today and was put on hold by a representative for 20+ minutes - I was surprised when the phone rang and I got a new rep who had no idea why I was calling. Needless to say I was not happy. I was calling to activate a free radio subcription for my mom that was activated w/o her knowledge by the dealership she bought it from and she lost out on the free 6 month trial. I wanted to actually get the free trial, but was told by sirius that was not an option. I have been a long time Sirius subscriber and they just lost out on a potential customer along w/ leaving a horrible impression on an already active user.
AT THIS MOMENT - I LOATHE SIRIUS'S CALL CENTER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Cacelation Rip-off
I signed up for a promotional 6 months in October 2009 and I prepaid for it. When this period was over I had no intention of renewing. I got a renewal notice and naturally I threw it away because I did not want the service any more. They kept sending me letters saying I must pay or they will disconnect the service. I was not using the service so I did not care if they disconnected. I called in May to tell them to stop sending me this bill which is around $107. The representative told me that I owe this because I never called to cancel and it is their policy. And a large portion of this charge is a cancellation charge. She added that if I don't pay they will send it to collection. In my opinion, this is a ripoff like business practice. I don't think I need to call to cancel and if I don't and maybe if I do I would still pay to cancel and charge me for a service I did not use or want.

Overcharges
I called Sirius to see about getting our subscription fees reduced due to the fact that they were beyond unreasonable. The CSR talked me into getting a Lifetime subscription, which would lower the annual fee based on the numbers he gave me. We have two radios, one primary and one secondary. He told me that we could do 5 monthly installments to pay for the subscription. The primary radio was to be $84.00 and the secondary was to be $65.00 which would total $149.00 per month for the next five months. I thought I got all the details. He said that included all "taxes and fees". The subscription was non cancellable and non refundable which was fine. He also said it was non transferrable, and went on to explain that if we sold the car to someone the buyer wouldn't be able to take the subscription. Made sense. So, I agreed and gave them my debit card number. The first charge came in about 5 minutes later at $255.00! I immediately called and tried to get a resolution but of course was sent to a different CSR that said there were taxes and fees involved. I told her that the call was recorded by them and that she could go back and listen to what I was told. She said they could do a reverse debit, which would take 7-10 business days and the account would be closed, blah blah blah. I said nevermind, just tell me what my fees will be from here on out. The answer was $149, that the initial payment included all the fees. The next month I get hit with $174.00, and the three subsequent months were $194.00. I knew that there was nothing I could do after the second month so I just let it go. However, I am warning everyone to GET IT IN WRITING if you deal with Sirius. Also, back to the non transferrable thing, if you get a new vehicle (which everyone does eventually) the "non transferrable" thing doesn't apply to the buyer of your car. It applies to YOU! You cannot continue service with your existing radio without having to pay for another lifetime subscription if you trade or sell your car.
