Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether AAA Northern New England has complied with Vermont consumer protection laws governing automatic membership renewals, renewal notices, and cancellation procedures.
AAA Northern New England provides annual memberships offering roadside assistance, towing, travel discounts, and other benefits. Members who enroll in AAA Auto Pay authorize their membership fees to be charged automatically each year unless they cancel.
Vermont law generally requires businesses offering covered annual contracts to clearly disclose automatic renewal terms, obtain consumers’ affirmative consent, and provide written or electronic renewal notices 30 to 60 days before the applicable renewal or cancellation deadline.
Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether AAA Northern New England provides Vermont members with the required renewal notices, obtains proper authorization for automatic payments, and offers accessible cancellation options.
