              I am here at BBB because SESAC has no means direct contact line on their website. My complaint is that I wanted to know if they had a song I was interest in. But to do that they asked for a slew of information which I filled out online, in good faith, on February 26, 2024. THen they proceeded to ******* my email box to buy their license. Furthermore, their "subsubscribe button" does absolutely nothing. This company, which I thought was a valid professional company, has l left me no choice but to file this with BBB. Please have then stop bombarding my inbox. I am not interested in them at all.

              11/10/2023

              Our business closed on 12/31/22. We called SESAC is January and indicated this and to not bill our business. I just spoke to a "rep" located not in the USA. They argued on the phone with me and lied to me that SESAC had NOT charged my credit card. They then also lied and indicated that I, on a voluntary basis, paid SESAC from my bank account. That is not true. They also lied and indicated that my credit card on file was expired, thus they could not have charged my card. They also LIED and indicated that my account was/is not on auto renewal. SESAC illegally deducted $600+ in July of 2023 from my **** card. I emailed them the proof. I agree with other BBB reviews that they are akin to a crime organization, that steals money as they did with my business.
