Audible

A proposed class action alleges Audible unfairly caused Canadian members to lose prepaid audiobook credits that expired after 12 months or upon cancellation.

This proposed class action, filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, alleges that Audible (owned by Amazon) acted unfairly by causing Canadian members to lose prepaid audiobook credits that expired after 12 months or when they cancelled their memberships. The claim argues the practice is exploitative and violates consumer protection laws, and seeks compensation equal to the value of expired credits plus punitive damages. The lawsuit is at an early stage and still has to be certified by the court, so no payout or claim form is available yet — affected members can register to receive updates.

• Canadian Audible subscribers who lost prepaid audiobook credits.
• Members whose credits expired after 12 months or when they cancelled their membership.
