      From: Aolany ******** Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2024 5:50 PM To: ***************************************** <*****************************************>Cc: TEAM AGORA <*****************************************>Subject: My 3rd attempt- Refund customer ******** - Aolany ******** Hello team,I have been a customer of ******************** for many many years. Initially i bought my domain for my personal website with you guys and I had my hosting with Bluehost A couple of months ago I was persuaded by ****** ******* to switch hosting from Bluehost to Godaddy with the promise of the great customer service that I know I usually get. I explained my concerns about switching my other two domains and the issues it would cause with my developers etc. (hosting, websites, wp etc) ****** assured me he will take me from beginning to end if I purchased the ** packages and he mentioned he will also waive the domain transfer fees which it was about ''$110'' he told me it was the perfect timing (around September ) too because my yearly subscription with bluehost was about to end in Oct 1st.****** assured me all the transfers were successful and that everything was set up to be now good with godaddy (my website *************** ) and I checked this around end of September. Around October, I let my ******** account not renew, thinking everything was working. The ** files were not transferred because I trusted ******. Around October 5th, a prospect told me we were not a legitimate company because our website was down. Website down? I checked, and *************** was not active. Long story short, I had to pay Bluehost again to reinstate everything because it was at the negotiation table to close a deal. ****** rarely returned an email, so I contacted the chat support, two times they told me to submit the refund request form to get an exception since I have been a customer for a while, I never got the service, never got the websites were never ONLINE. now godaddy is holding my domain HOSTAGE for 3 years. HELP I need help to resolve this!

      I am filing this complaint regarding GoDaddy's failure to fulfill my request to delete my account and their lack of communication despite multiple follow-ups.On three separate occasions, I contacted GoDaddy to request that my account be deleted. During my last interaction on December 22, 2024, I was assured that my account would be deleted by the end of that day. However, as of today, my account remains active.On December 25, 2024, I emailed GoDaddy's Grievance Team to follow up on this issue, but I did not receive a response. I sent a second follow-up email several days later, again with no acknowledgment or resolution.This situation is highly frustrating and raises serious concerns about GoDaddy's customer service and compliance with my request. I have made every effort to resolve this matter directly with GoDaddy but have been met with silence, leaving me no choice but to escalate this issue.I am requesting immediate action from GoDaddy to:1. Delete my account as requested.2. Provide written confirmation that my account has been deleted.This complaint is filed in good faith with the hope that GoDaddy will resolve this matter promptly. I look forward to hearing from them soon.Thank you for your assistance in facilitating a resolution.

      Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.

      Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.

      On October 12, 2023, our customer set up ********************** Payments in their account. ********************** Payments is our built-in payment gateway, which allows them to accept online and in-person payments from their customers within safe and secure transactions.

      On December 14, 2024, our customer contacted our *********** via online chat for assistance with closing their GoDaddy account. Unfortunately, the GoDaddy Payments product was stuck in an active status, preventing the account from being closed. During this interaction, a case was created to have GoDaddys developers remove the product from the account on behalf of our customer.

      On January 15, 2025, the ********************** Payments product was deleted from their account.

      RESOLUTION:

      GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.

      As with all service providers, GoDaddy had unexpected technical issues and worked quickly to resolve them and minimize any impact on our customer.

      If they wish to close their account fully, they can review the steps in the following article: **************************************************************

      Dear Jenn,
      Thank you for your response. However, I am extremely disappointed with how GoDaddy has handled this matter and the omissions in your reply.
      First, your response fails to acknowledge my multiple attempts to resolve this issue with GoDaddys customer service before filing a ******************** complaint. I contacted GoDaddy three times requesting account deletion, and on December 22, 2024, I was specifically assured that my account would be deleted by the end of the day. That promise was not fulfilled.
      Furthermore, after my account remained active, I emailed GoDaddys Grievance Team twice (on December 25 and January 9th), yet I never received a response. Ignoring customer emails is not an acceptable practice for any reputable company.
      Additionally, it is clear that GoDaddy only resolved the technical issue after I filed a BBB complaint. If I had not taken that step, my account would likely still be in limbo, with no resolution in sight. This does not reflect good customer serviceit is a failure to take responsibility and properly assist customers in a timely manner.
      I hope my experience can serve as constructive feedback for improving customer support processes and ensuring better communication with customers in similar situations. Fortunately, I was finally able to close my account, or at least I received confirmation that it has been closed.
      Thank you for your time and consideration.

      Sincerely,
      ***** ********

      On November 7th I purchased a new website from go daddy. This site was to be built for me by go daddy for my business. The primary function I needed was the ability for people to pay me from my website when signing up for my live streaming classes. The website went live just before the new year. From the start credit card payments were not being accepted. I spent two weeks contacting customer support / website design / payments / WordPress / Inbound sales support, etc. no one could fix the problem. I ended up on an endless loop of phone calls, being on hold, transferred, being told they would get back to me in 1 -2 days and even 72 hours, but no one has. I have to keep calling and getting on the same treadmill of different departments thinking the other one can fix it. I just want my full refund and go back to my basic website. Please no more excuses. Thank you I just spoke with a gentleman who said he could republish my old website, but could not issue a refund, for that he would have to transfer me again to website design Over two hours on the phone! They are now telling me that a refund can't be issued because 30 days had passed since I purchased the website. The website did not go live until late December, and there was no way to know the website did not work until it went live! A refund request was issued and someone should contact me in 5 days! This seems pretty unacceptable,

      I was told I needed to purchase an SSL for our business website through GoDaddy for the safety of the site. It cost $239 for 2 years. I checked on site a few weeks in and they said it takes time. I was then notified months later by a customer that my website was not secured. I contacted GoDaddy. **** stated bc it was past 30 days to fill out a request an extended refund request because I was sold the incorrect program. This process has taken months to try to resolve. I was disconnected multiple times including on time when I waited over 50 minutes to speak to a rep. **** did not deny selling me the wrong product-I was denied bc it was past the 30 day purchase window-but yet they specifically have a form to file for exceptions that are past the 30 day window.

      On November 3, 2021, our customer purchased Websites + Marketing (W+M). Websites + Marketing is a proprietary, do-it-yourself, template-based product to construct a website. 

      On April 11, 2024, our customer contacted our Care support team for assistance with their website that was not showing as secure.  At that time, based upon that interaction our customer purchased an SSL certificate. 

      The SSL purchased by our customer on April 11, 2024, would not apply to our customers W+M as it includes its own integrated SSL.

      I signed up via chat for a go daddy site and the representative signed me up with a version that was too robust for what I really needed. I requested a refund of $266.99 and then the representative signed me up for the basic plan and told me to try that. I did and canceled that as well. The refunded me the basic plan of ****** and took down my website and put my domain name (************************) back on the market. I contacted them and they stated that the original purchases (****** and *****) is not approved. I am requesting the full refund because I do not have the website that I created OR the domain name anymore as they canceled it.

      Under order #**********, I purchased a 1-year email account, *********************** on 6/3/2024. I deleted the e-mail account *********************** on 1/2/2025. Since I prepaid for the 1-year term until 1/2/2025, I called GoDaddy and they were unwilling to provide a refund for the unused term length.

      They offered me a service to optimize my web page which cost me 335 usd for 3 months. The web site has not been optimized at all , I keep asking requests to optimize the web site and every time I file a request they close the request saying they completed the task without completing it. I asked a refund and they reject it. My web site is not working properly , it causes confusion and it is slowing me down. none of the tasks that I needed help with has been completed. Basically they charged 335 usd to do nothing.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

      On October 14, 2024, we added a credit card payment to GoDaddy to pay for three 1 year email licenses for our not for profit youth ****************************** (***********************************). We wanted 1 year licenses for the use of ************** ******************* and ******************* We completed the payments for these using an **************** Card on our online account with ************************* October 15, 2024, GoDaddy charged $287.64 for a 3 year license for the the email address: ******************* I had not idea this was going to occur.On November 14, 2024, I noticed a payment to **************** was going to be double the intended amount for the above-referenced 3 email addresses. I reviewed the **** on-line account at ********************** and noticed the $287.64 billing for the 3 year service for ******************* I contacted GoDaddy customer service and explained the situation. A customer *** helped me cancel the ****************** email to show we have no intention of using it and that we had no intention of renewing that email. I then used their refund process (refund request OOPR-*****) and heard no follow-up. I contacted GoDaddy today (12/6/2024) to ask about the progress and they ended up sending me an email advising this was an "out of policy refund request".We had no idea there was going to be this charge on 10/15. They are saying we had 30 days to cancel this charge? I contacted them on 11/14. Additionally, we never approved this charge - we would have approved a 1 year usage of ****************** at the same time we approved the other 3 email addresses if we were going to do so. There was no "opt out" option. I manually approved the other emails, and had no intention of doing anything longer than 1 year at a time. They automatically signed us up for a 3 year email option the next day (10/15/24) for an email address we have no intention of using.

      Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.

      Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.

      On September 25, 2018, our customer purchased four M365 Email Essentials plans for a three-year term via phone transaction. The email plans were automatically renewed for an additional three years on September 25, 2021.

      On September 21, 2024, our customer, or an authorized party on their account, entered their GoDaddy account and disabled the automatic renewal settings associated with the four email plans in question.

      On September 25, 2024, per our customers account preferences, ********************** did not renew the M365 Email plans in a good faith effort to honor agreements with our customer. Their account settings were reviewed again on October 5, 2024. As the automatic renewal settings were still disabled, the email plans were not renewed.

      On October 14, 2024, our customer, or an authorized party on their account, entered their GoDaddy account and enabled the automatic renewal settings for the four email plans in question. They also processed a one-year renewal for three of the four email plans.

      On October 15, 2024, per our customers account settings, the fourth email plan was automatically renewed for a three-year term.

      Our customer contacted our Care Team on November 14, 2024, and was correctly informed the email plans were no longer refund-eligible.

      RESOLUTION:

      GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.

      While the email plan was no longer eligible for a refund at the time of cancelation per our refund policy, we have refunded the renewal in question as a one-time courtesy in an effort to resolve our customers concerns.

      Thank you again for the opportunity to address the concerns presented by our customer.


      Kindest regards,

      Texas Linux Fest was user of MadMimi from 2014. We went to login today to access our customer information and prepare our 2025 marketing only to find that the service was shutdown without notice to users. We are trying to reach someone at GoDaddy or Madmimi who can assist us with getting a copy of our mailing list. Unfortunately nobody in support seem to be aware of the product given it was shutdown in August without notice to us.

      Our customer was utilizing MadMimi, which was an online marketing platform that allowed customers to send marketing emails to their clients. 

      Earlier this year, GoDaddy made the difficult decision to retire the ******* product, and all affected customers were notified via email that they needed to take action prior to the service being shutdown. 

      RESOLUTION:

      GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.

      As of August 30, 2024, all MadMimi accounts are inactive, and historical content is not recoverable. 

      Thank you again for the opportunity to address the concerns presented by our customer.

      Better Business Bureau:

      Hi ****, Unfortunately our team received no notifications. We last used the planform in April 2024 and there was no mention on the website of GoDaddy having acquired the service.Our logs show the only emails received from MadMimi related to campaign activities in April 2024.   

      Had GoDaddy sent us any notifications we would have happily transitioned to your new services or exported our data as appropriate.  

      We greatly appreciate the 10~ years of donated services to our volunteer / non-profit group, but unfortunately the loss of our data means we will likely to shutdown our charitable efforts as we no longer have contact information for our donors or members.

      Regards,
