“Stupid subscription cancellation.”

★★★☆☆

written by Vadym on 08/12/2023

I ordered a subscription that includes calobartia with Netflix. Half a month passes and they are charged plus for a standard subscription. The support replied that it had to be canceled manually and now the money cannot be returned. Information about what needs to be canceled was not covered anywhere on the website. I like setanta, but this situation was honestly disappointing. I hope you will correct this defect, and a reminder to other users on how not to get burned.

“The list goes on! I am 17 year old boy from Ireland, I...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Aimee364 on 14/01/2016

The list goes on! I am 17 year old boy from Ireland, I subscribed to a supposed one month subcscription only to watch the UFC on December 12th for a total of €25. Unknown to me I was subscribing for 2 months as it is the minimum subscription offer but when I subscribe I only have to pay for the first month and I am only told about the 1 month. I notice after the month is up I still have the channels I subscribed for then I continue to notice a further €25 coming out of my bank account totalling to paying setanta €50. I ring to try sort this out and explain about how I was completely mislead and would like my money back as they pretty much hid a very very important piece of information stating the minimum subscription is 2 months. I get absolutely no co-operation and am told it was my fault and nothing got to do with them, I don't get my money back but the subcscription is cancelled. Overall, setanta completely mislead me into subscribing for a total of €50 for 2 months, I am absolutely disgusted with this service and certainly will never be dealing with such a broadcaster ever again and will certainly be advising my friends and family to stay well away aswell. Do not opt for setanta, you will be robbed of your money! Would have given zero star rating if that was possible, absolutely disgraceful service.

“Not "live"”

★★★☆☆

written by Arsenaultsf242 on 15/03/2015

Setanta promotes a live NRL coverage and then replay a game from a previous round. Pathetic.

“Horrible Customer Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Schroeder175 on 23/05/2014

The language barrier in my example was terrible and the lady constantly interrupted my questions. I'd honestly rather the automated foxtel model.

“Still charging me months after cancellation”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 01/03/2013

I have had a terrible experience with Setanta. Cancelling your subscription is in my opinion deliberately difficult and awkward. Having spoken to customer service and cancelled my subscription (which was confirmed on the phone)I am still being charged on my credit card 4 months later.

“Really poor signal for 18 months with Setanta Sports,...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by raspberrylipgloss on 16/06/2009

Really poor signal for 18 months with Setanta Sports, and after 18 months of calling abut this they decide they might have sent me a faulty card at the start. I am now trying to cancel which is a nightmare. I cancelled my direct debit as I dont owe them any money and dont trust them to take any more(they've taken extra from me before and wont repay it). Now being told I'm not allowed to cancel unless I have a valid direct debit set up, ow ridiculous. They have text me asking me to ring them, why cant they ring me? It's because they want me to call their 0871 number and be on there for 30minutes. Never ever use this company, I am one of thousands as I have read reviews like this on other websites

Got put through to technical support on to them for nearly an hour still no better, guy was swearing in the background thinking I could not hear him.. cancelled my DD paying them no more.. starting legal procedings to recover my fee's and all the telephone expenses & letters.. Will also try and recover legal costs.. Not paying for a rubbish picture..Got my satallite checked at my expense but it was ok.. SETANTA your coat is on a shakey nail ready to fall.. Customer services poor except for one guy really nice guy but so sorry he couldn't fix my problem.. Even got a call from someone after sending my first letter and they told me that they were aware of the problem and working on, at my expense I dont think so... Satanta your going down and I for one wwon't miss you.

“If you just cancel your direct debit with Setanta...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by peeeeeedoff on 23/05/2009

If you just cancel your direct debit with Setanta Sports cos you're having problems getting anywhere with them [ you cant cancel a card ] you'll find you are still receiving their transmission even months after.
i was still connected 6 months before getting letters asking for bank details. put a note in telling them i had already canceled . then aggressive chap who only wanted bank details and would not listen any explanation that tried to make phoned me.he got me so mad i hung up
then got another letter saying the are cut off my connection
[ which they have done ] good, cos they only leave connected to build up the debt .also in the last letter i got the debt collectors threat .
I've have sent dozens of emails to 4 different Setanta addresses and have had some "" will reply in 5 days " but nothing happens. don't they understand the customers they are losing when the word gets around how they treat subscribers.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 09/05/2009

The picture quality is attrocious, especially on fast moving scenes. Watching football is like trying to watch a 1980's computer game through a dirty window. Setanta Sports is not worth the subscription - it would be painful to watch even if it was free.

written by tafer2uk on 04/05/2009

This company are the worst I have ever dealt with. At one point I had Setanta acknowledging my account was closed and settled in full whilst their third party call centre was threatening legal action claiming I still owed money and it would affect my credit rating, to cap it off if you stand your ground they just hang up on you. Nice!

written by nemphlar on 08/04/2009

I signed up to Setanta Sports in November 2008 using a CAM plug in. After 11 seperate attempts on the phone with Setanta trying to get it to work, I returned the CAM and card, and requested they reimburse me for the cost of the CAM and subscription. To date after eight calls to their office in Glasgow and head office, I am still waiting for refund. They do not even have the decency to contact me to say what their problem is.

“Only premium sports channel available on Freeview, so...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 09/03/2009

Only premium sports channel available on Freeview, so if you want to watch some premiership football etc, its the only choice! I enjoy Setanta sports but wish I could get Sky sports instead. There was a plan to offer it on Freeview but that has been cancelled.
So we are stuck with Setanta; its not bad, but picture quality is very poor.

“I would strongly advise people to have nothing to do...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by on 28/11/2008

I would strongly advise people to have nothing to do with Setanta Sports as in my opinion it should not be allowed to trade in the manner that it is. Having paid by debit card it seems to think that it has the right to take money out of you account at will then makes up the policy for payments to suit. One person told me it was one month in advance another two months and even when I cancelled they continued to take money. There is no customer service department, once you key in the customer service department into your telephone it cuts you off. My advice save yourself alot of grief and have nothing to do with them. I am still waiting for my money back but am not hopeful!
