18 Sep 2025 Chegg Inc.Chegg pays 7.5 million USD in FTC settlement over allegations of obstructed subscription cancellation USAInformation duties in online retail €6.35m

According to the FTC complaint, the education provider hid the cancellation option for its automatically renewing subscriptions on its website and, since October 2020, continued to charge almost 200,000 customers even after they had cancelled. Under the settlement, Chegg is paying 7.5 million USD for refunds and must offer simple cancellation.

What organisations can take from it

Cancellations received must be reliably implemented in the systems – continuing to charge customers is a separate violation.
