Business ProfileforSt Louis Post-Dispatch

My subscription to the St Louis Post Dispatch Digital Edition was up for renewal on March 3 2024. I called the post dispatch on or about February 29, 2024 to indicate I did not want my subscription renewed. I was told that I had already been charged for the month of March as they automatically take money from your credit card 10 to 14 days before the due date. They took the money from my credit card on 2/23/24. I had never been advised of that advanced billing when I subscribed. I asked that the money that had been taken for my credit card be returned immediately.I was told that it would take 4 to 6 weeks to receive my credit back to my credit card. I asked that it be refunded immediately and was refused. However, they did block my access to the post dispatch digital edition.Any other business would refund your money to your credit card within days. I think it is unfair and a fraudulent business practice to take money from your credit card far in advance of the due date and 4 to 6 weeks to refund it on cancellation. They have the use of my money for 4 to 6 weeks and I'm paying interest on it to my credit card company. Any help you can provide will be appreciated thank you
