Starz - Payment has been made, I’m being blocked saying to my payment didn’t go through

I paid my prescription; my screen is being blocked, saying my payment failed. Could someone please have this resolved?

I want to continue enjoying my series. If not, refund my payment, please.

It also said I would be paying $6.99 for the first 6 months. I was charged twice; my bank took it off, as you can see in the screenshot of my payment.

Disgusted with service, same movies from 1 year ago. Black gangster crap.

They said it was on Starz end.

Called Starz, was put on a 20 minute call back, an HOUR LATER received a call,was put on hold, then got hung up on.

Went online, after 10 minutes of waiting my dog had to ***

Went back on website and after twenty minutes gave up

Unknown chargers on my card

Money was taken off my card, and I didn't authorize it. I haven't had stars in a long time, so I would like to get a refund back because, once again, I didn't authorize a subscription for STARZ.

Billing

I had a deduction for my checking account for a payment of $49.09 the other day 2025 December I did not wish to continue the subscription but I had paid all the way up until June by them taking that payment out.

I want my money back in my account.

If I'm not getting the service I should not have to pay for it.

I talked to every human I could get on the phone and received no help whatsoever from them. I received the same prepared answer from each person separately. There was authenticity in any of the responses or any sense of concern with my issue!

Original review Oct 25, 2025

I spent a week trying to cancel my subscription on line with no success. The phone number listed gives more automated responses and no help.

You have to give a star to write a review.

I guess that accounts for the 1 in your 1.7 overall rating in customer service. Then you have to write 100 characters to leave a review..

Video stalls

Thank you. Watching Spartacus- House of Azure.

Plays well for 20 minutes or so, than it has a

small circle.

like its trying to connect.

Internet is strong so I'm not sure what it could be.

Phone call when it's happening would be best.

Please provide me with a phone number.

I call call you while Starz is on my chrome computer. Netflix has no issues on this chrome.
