    I bought a laptop earlier this year in February that came with a years subscription. I added it to my account so I thought that would have me covered but I've found out I've been charged 79.99 for a years subscription. I can't afford this beciase I'm not working and on benefits. I already have bad health problems I don't need this kind of money coming out of my account Indeed it. Please refund this I should only have one account if Inhale one log *** Email address is removed for privacy *** 21/04/1986
