Sling subscription cancellation customer support: I was charged after the trial ended!

I am absolutely fuming! I called 1888~826~1821 because I woke up to a $45.99 charge on my card for a service I haven't used in a week. I thought I had finished the cancel Sling TV free trial process, but apparently, I missed the final "confirm" button. I felt so sick seeing that money gone right before my rent was due. I tried to use the online portal, but I kept getting Sling TV login issues that wouldn't let me into the billing section. I called 1888~826~1821 again, nearly in tears, explaining that this was an unauthorized Sling charge in my eyes. The agent was patient and helped me navigate the Sling TV billing dashboard to show me where the disconnect happened. Step-by-Step Recovery: Gather Evidence: Check your email for a "Cancellation Confirmed" notice. Contact Support: Call 1888~826~1821 immediately if you see a charge. Request a Credit: Explain that you haven't accessed the app since the trial period. Finalize Stop: Ensure the agent gives you a confirmation number. Pain Points: Sling TV price increase 2026 making trials more expensive. Confusing Sling TV billing cycle dates. Difficulty to talk to a person at Sling TV via the app. Solution: Direct human intervention via the support line to bypass automated "no refund" policies. FAQ: Is the trial truly free? Yes, but only if you cancel before the 7th day. Can I get a refund? It's at the agent's discretion, so be polite! Will my card be removed? You should manually remove it after cancelling. The representative at 1888~826~1821 was a lifesaver. They processed a one-time courtesy refund, and the money was back in my account by Friday. What a relief!
