Recently, Ms. Zheng from Beijing reported to reporters that on October 8th this year, she discovered a membership fee deduction notice when logging into the Youku Video App

Recently, Ms. Zheng from Beijing reported to reporters that on October 8th this year, she discovered a membership fee deduction notice when logging into the Youku Video App. After inquiry, she learned that since August 2018, without her knowledge, Youku has deducted 15 yuan of membership fees from her Alipay every month, which has been deducted for 5 years and 2 months, with a total amount of 915 yuan. What should I do?

An app that hasn't been used in 5 years

Automatically deduct fees every year

On the day of discovery, Ms. Zheng called Youku customer service to appeal, hoping to refund her unused membership fee, totaling 915 yuan. According to Ms. Zheng's recollection, she opened a membership on Youku in July 2018 to upload a video. At that time, she was not aware of the membership renewal function, and after that month, she did not use the membership rights of the Youku platform, but Youku began to automatically deduct monthly payments. Ms. Zheng stated that although she immediately closed the membership renewal program after discovering the problem, she was automatically deducted a total of 915 yuan within 5 years.

Ms. Zheng told reporters that during the automatic deduction period, Youku never sent any significant information to remind her of the deduction. She discovered it on her own after opening the Youku Video App. That is to say, if users do not log in to the Youku Video App, they will not know if they are being deducted

Latest response from the platform: Full refund

On the afternoon of the 8th, Ms. Zheng appealed to Youku customer service by phone based on the relevant provisions of the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Transactions" - "If online transaction operators provide services through automatic renewal, they should prominently remind consumers to pay attention five days before the automatic renewal date." She demanded that Youku refund the membership fee automatically deducted during the 5-year period.

Ms. Zheng said that Youku's first response was based on "logging into the account once in April and using the search function once", rejecting Ms. Zheng's request to refund the full 5-year membership fee, stating that only the 5-month membership fee can be refunded. Ms. Zheng believes that she has not used her membership rights, so she has the right to request a full refund.

On October 12th, Youku platform called back Ms. Zheng and expressed willingness to refund the membership fee of 660 yuan for 44 months, which was rejected by Ms. Zheng. On the same day, the reporter called Youku customer service, who stated that they would seriously consider Ms. Zheng's request to refund the full amount, and the specific refund amount is still under negotiation.

On October 13th, the reporter learned from Ms. Zheng that the current Youku platform stated that Ms. Zheng's situation had been verified to be true and her demands were reasonable. We have contacted the user to refund the full 61 month membership fee, totaling 915 yuan. It is expected to arrive in 3 working days.
