Subscription box service keeps charging me after I cancelled
- 03.07.2026
I paid online for tickets to an event in Malta through the organiser’s own website. The payment went through and I got a confirmation email, but the tickets themselves never arrived and now nobody replies to my emails or calls. What can I actually do to get my money back?
This looks like a straightforward case of a trader failing to supply goods or services that were paid for, which falls squarely within the protections of the Consumer Affairs Act, Chapter 378 of the Laws of Malta. Start by sending one final written demand, by email and, if you have an address, by registered post, giving a short deadline to deliver the tickets or issue a full refund, and keep a copy for your records. If you paid by card, contact your bank about a chargeback, since unauthorised or undelivered goods and services are common grounds for reversing a card payment. In parallel, you can report the trader to the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA), which monitors unfair commercial practices, and if the amount involved justifies it, file a claim with the Consumer Claims Tribunal to formally recover your money. Keep all payment confirmations and correspondence as evidence throughout.
