Unauthorized charge to credit card
The company charged my Apple card for a monthly subscription I did not sign up for. Stay away!
Response from SongtrustJun 5, 2024
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that his has happened to you, but Songtrust does not currently have a monthly subscription. We currently only have a one time sign-up fee of $100 and take a 15% admin fee of whatever we collect on your behalf, so it is not us who is charging you a monthly subscription fee. If you'd like us to investigate this further, please reach out to us at [email protected].

RADIO SILENCE - FOR MONTHS
I have been waiting two months for one reply from Songtrust. I want to remove a song from my catalogue without cancelling my whole account. Can someone please process this for me? I am so stressed out by this situation.
Response from SongtrustJun 6, 2024
Hi Katie and thank you for your taking the time to give us this feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience with us was less than ideal, especially around receiving support. We're very aware of this and are working to improve our response times. While it appears that you've since cancelled your account, should you decide to use Songtrust again in the future, reach out to our team at [email protected] and we'd be more than happy to reinstate your account.

not registered, taking percentage
I've just realised they are taking 50 percent of royalties from my song, without even being registered with them! Very dodgy. I accidentally saw them on my PRS account, before I've never heard of them.
Response from SongtrustJun 5, 2024
Hi, Anna. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We can assure you that we only collect on behalf of clients that have signed up for our services, and only take a 15% admin fee off the top of any publishing royalties we do collect for that writer. If you've collaborated with other writers in the past, it's possible that they are with Songtrust and have included you (rightly so) in their registrations -- but we would only be collecting for their portion of the royalties. If you'd like our team to investigate this claim, feel free to send us an email at [email protected] so we can look into this further for you.

Avoid like the plague
An absolute joke of a company. I wish I had seen these reviews before I joined. I was incorrectly informed by their sales rep about their whole set up and of course once I joined they went from replying promptly to taking 2 months to get back to me. I spoke to someone that said I could cancel my account and ask for a refund only to be told that a refund is not possible and it's going to take as long as it did for them to activate my account as it will to deactivate it, which was forever. In the meantime I'm losing what little royalties I normally make to them and while they're meant to pay most of it on to me, based on how painful they are to deal with and how they lie about everything else I'm guessing I'll never see that money either. Avoid like the plague!
Response from SongtrustJun 6, 2024
Hi Amy, we are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with Songtrust. We take all feedback seriously and aim to address any concerns to improve our services. We apologize for the delay in our responses since joining. This is not the standard we aim to uphold. Our Client Services Team is aware of these delays and is doing their best to improve this. We hope you’ll give us the opportunity to make this right -- if we haven't already. While I’m unable to locate your account using just your name, if this still hasn't been resolved, please send an email to our Client Services Team at [email protected] and then let us know here in the comments so we can flag it to our team.

I can't believe this isn't resolved yet
So, they finally responded. And, I must mention that in response to my initial complaint here, it was not acknowledged that I'd tried previous times to contact them via email and their website form. Once I logged a complaint here, however, they did respond both here and via email to say they now ONLY respond via their website form, which is problematic because the form doesn't give me any record of my correspondence.
The BIGGER problem is the resolution email they sent. Although the email acknowledges my termination (thank you), the "Songtrust Team" wrote that they attached the letter of relinquishment (LOR) I requested so that I can notify other organizations that Songtrust should no longer be listed as my publisher. But, they DID NOT, in fact, attach any such letter.
So, now, I have to AGAIN send them a response via their website form and AGAIN wait another week to ten days for them to respond knowing that there are about ten people who have personally told me they are still waiting for a response for requests made months ago. That is why I am here again with no improvement in my review.
I can understand forgetting to attach a file. I've done the same myself. But it isn't as simple as sending back a "Hey, you forgot the file." No, it has to go through their process, which delays everything further.

Hi Laura Marie and thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize the delay in responses you have received, that is certainly not the kind of experience we'd like our clients to have. We are aware of these support delays and are working hard to improve our overall response time. I do see that a team member sent over the letter of relinquishment (LOR) on 10/25/23, but please feel free to let us know here if you still did not receive that or need another copy. It's important to us that we learn from experiences like this to improve how we do things in the future, so we appreciate your feedback. Should you ever see an opportunity to give us a second chance, we'd love to make it up and ensure you have a smoother publishing experience. Should you have any additional comments, questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
