Subject: [SERIALST] Problems with Informa Healthcare

 

Has anyone who cancelled journals from Informa Healthcare, had problems with them calling and asking if we did not renew?  We cancelled a lot of subscriptions from many different vendors, but I’ve never had a vendor be so relentless in their calls, wondering if we really did not want to renew.  For months we’ve received messages from them and consistently tell them that we did in fact cancel the two titles they are inquiring about.  We’ve even gone as far as contacting our EBSCO rep, whom we ordered the two titles through, who contacted the person’s supervisor to tell them that we are not renewing.  Now today I received another call from a different Informa person wondering the same question.

Has anybody else had this problem and had any luck making Informa understand that we don’t want to renew?

 

Thanks,
