Charged After a Free Trial? What to Do in the First 24 Hours
If a free trial charges you, first identify who billed you and where the subscription is controlled, then cancel from the account or platform that actually bills it and save proof. Next, request a refund from the merchant or platform with the charge date, amount, cancellation status, and reason. Use a card or bank dispute only when the facts fit that process, such as an unauthorized charge, a billing error, or a merchant that will not address the issue; do not assume every trial conversion is illegal or refundable.
