FindMyPast Subscriptions
« on: Monday 15 May 17 22:34 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I want to join FindMyPast short term to get some parish register information. I don't want to pay by card as I know what they're like similar to Ancestry for repeat billing / recurring payments.

So I was going to pay for a month using Paypal but when I clicked to buy it I did not like the language used (pasted)

Pay with
•   Halifax Building Society XXXX
By clicking Agree and Pay I confirm that I want to use Halifax Building Society XXXX for my current and future purchases with Findmypast. I authorise Findmypast to charge my PayPal account for such purchases and I instruct PayPal to pay such amounts. I understand this lets me check out faster by not having to log in to PayPal to complete my purchase. I understand that if I have a PayPal balance, that balance will be used first and that if my preferred funding source has expired or been declined, PayPal will charge my backup funding source. I can change my preferred funding source or cancel this authorisation at any time in my PayPal Account. The payments will be treated by PayPal as pre-approved payments as specified in the PayPal User Agreement.

Does this mean that they're saying that I am giving them permission to take repeated payments through Paypal?

Hoe some can answer.

With another company I paid online and a short while later went into the account and deleted the card number and ticked a box that stopped renewal.  Not sure whether this will work with Find My Past but it should.

I've never had any problem unticking the autorenew at FindMyPast. The shortest subscription is 30 days so if you are having difficulty it gives you plenty of time to sort it out.

BlindMyPast will send you an email confirming expiry date.

If you check a few nights prior just to make sure it's not been 'unticked' things should be ok.

Failing that you will have your email as proof.

You don't say what country you're in but if in UK they have a tel. no. you can call to be sure...
