The situation

In August you started a free trial of an app you needed for one school project, using the card your dad added to the family account. You forgot about it. It is now October and he has noticed two charges of $14.99. He is not angry, but he wants to know what happened and whether it will keep happening.

你可以怎么做?

Pick a response to see how it usually plays out.

The general principles

  • Contracts signed by minors are generally voidable by the minor, but that does not stop a recurring charge on its own.
  • The adult whose payment method is on file is normally responsible for charges already made.
  • Consumer-protection rules generally require recurring charges to be disclosed clearly before you agree.

Safer next steps

  1. Cancel today, before working out who owes what.
  2. Screenshot the confirmation and the date.
  3. Email the company asking for a refund of unused time; keep it short and factual.
  4. Tell the adult whose card it is the same day, with what you have already done.

Where you live matters

Automatic-renewal and cancellation requirements vary by state, and some states have stronger rules than the federal baseline.

Bring in a trusted adult

Telling the adult early, with the cancellation already done, changes this from a trust problem into an admin problem. If a company will not let you cancel, your state consumer protection office and the CFPB both take complaints.

情景练习是练习,不是预测。真实结果取决于你所在的州、你的年龄、确切事实以及涉及的人。真的遇到类似情况时,请让你信任的成年人参与,必要时咨询合格的律师。
