How to Get a Refund After Cancellation: Netflix in Vermont

How to recover money after canceling a subscription, including partial-month refunds, post-cancellation charges, and trial-to-paid conversions. This guide applies specifically to Netflix ($6.99-$22.99/mo) subscribers in Vermont, citing applicable state and federal law.

Your Legal Rights in Vermont

Vermont's Automatic Renewal Protections (Vt. Stat. tit. 9, § 2454a) gives you specific protections when dealing with Netflix subscriptions:

How to Get a Refund After Cancellation

Applied to Netflix (Website or app) in Vermont

1
Request a refund within 24–72 hours
Contact the company immediately by phone or email. State: 'I canceled on [date] and was charged [amount]. I am requesting a full refund under your refund policy.' Many companies have a grace period.
Vermont note: Vt. Stat. tit. 9, § 2454a requires Netflix to provide an easy cancellation mechanism.
2
Cite ROSCA if the trial auto-converted
The Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (15 USC § 8403) requires clear disclosure before a trial converts. If terms weren't clearly disclosed, the charge is legally questionable.
3
Escalate to a supervisor
If the first agent denies your refund, ask for a supervisor. Supervisors have more discretion. Be polite but firm — state you are prepared to file a chargeback.
4
File a chargeback if denied
Call your credit card issuer. Say: 'I want to dispute a charge from [company]. I canceled the service and they continued to charge me / the trial terms were not clearly disclosed.' Provide your cancellation documentation.
5
File an FTC complaint
Go to reportfraud.ftc.gov and report the company. The FTC uses these complaints to prioritize enforcement. Companies with many complaints face investigation.
