Scribd are a bunch of scammers, I remember subscribing for their free trial and then cancelling just before the trial ended, they never cancelled and this went on for 5 months - they took that long to cancel it. Check out their reviews here https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.scribd.com - what would be the case course of action to follow up on something like this? Obviously it's not worth lawyering up for.

Another anecdote. I signed up for their trial and started using it on my iPhone. A few days later I couldn’t login, can’t reset password, nothing. Contacted support. My account was deleted completely due to fraud. I used my legitimate card matching my address. All kosher. I guess the trigger was because I use vpn on my phone. But the annoying thing is that there was no way to reinstate the account. They just irreversibly wiped it without notice. I asked what to do next and didn’t even get a reply... ok then. If you don’t want me as a customer, I don’t want to be one.
