Account, payments & subscriptions

[MartiC]

I created a FREE Roku account in order to get a free trial of Shudder. I cancelled long before the trial ended. For the last two months there has been a charge on my credit card for what I ASSUME is for Shudder. 

When I attempt to see what the charge is for on my Roku account the options lead me to click on my subscription invoice. There is NO subscription listed and there is no invoice. The insulting canned response that people in other threads get from ghost Danny only gives a link to the same options. I get nowhere. 

I noticed after the first month's charge that I can access Shudder on one TV but not the other so I assume that is the charge even though, as I said, there is no subscription and no invoice to refer to. 

I removed my credit card info from the account as a payment option to see if that would resolve the problem but my card was charged again this month even without authorization. 

I will have to keep searching for a solution but as a result, will never access anything other than basic streaming from my Roku TV and stick.

If you can only get Shudder on one tv, one explanation could be that the Roku receiving Shudder may be linked to a different account than the other one. If that's the case, perhaps you signed up for Shudder trials on each set not realizing they were different accounts. When you canceled on one set it would not then have canceled the other one. If you then checked the wrong account it would not show the subscription, while the other one continued.

If you check Settings > System > About on both sets, do they show the same account name (i.e. email address)?

Sorry to take so long to acknowledge but this was indeed the problem. I didn't realize that it was possible but it makes sense that I could have created two different accounts. 

Thanks for the help.

I am having the very same problem, except for me they have charged my account for Starz, Hulu and Warner media!  Hulu has been charging me for 3 months now!  Starz for 2 months and Warner media just showed up in my bank today!  And I can't find anywhere to cancel!  I called Hulu's number and they couldn't find an account with my name on it, said it was through Roku Hulu, not Hulu, and that, unfortunately because of the situation Roku doesn't have any Customer Service now!!!  UNBELIEVABLE!  I said, "So you guys think it's ok for me to just keep paying you for this?"
