New York Supreme Court Justice Lyle Frank has ruled that SiriusXM's cancellation process is unnecessarily burdensome and illegal.

SiriusXM will have to change its cancellation procedures in New York as a result of the court's decision, ensuring a simple subscription cancellation method for its customers. Customers are also no longer required to speak or chat with a live agent in order to cancel their subscription.

The satellite radio provider made it too difficult for customers to cancel their subscriptions, a New York supreme court justice ruled last week.

SiriusXM will make canceling subscriptions in New York easier after a judge ruled it broke the law by not providing "simple mechanisms" for quitting.

Even without the FTC’s new click-to-cancel policy, the New York AG just won a lawsuit over a process that ‘deliberately’ wastes subscribers’ time.

The policies of SiriusXM Radio violated the law by forcing customers to get sales pitches from customer-service representatives when trying to cancel.
