    This company has in total, charged me $100 for a service I never signed up for. I canceled the subsricption I had with them back in February, 2022. They would not respond via email and so I had to contact them over the phone. After many attempts, someone finally picked up the phone and tried to persuade me from canceling my subscription, even though I had made it very clear that I had never used their services nor had any plans to.

    Just this month,********** credit card was somehow charged another $20 for a subscription. I have no idea how they got her credit card information, this is never something we ever singed up for. I have contacted them again over email and have called several times today with no luck getting through.

    Dear *************

    Thank you for contacting us through the Better Business Bureau. We received your inquiry and sincerely apologize for any miscommunication. We take these complaints very seriously and appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.

    Our records reflect that you have made several online purchases for our products: the first on July 12, 2022, when you purchased a one-year license for ourMy CleanPC Software at a total cost of $21.53 (including applicable taxes) for the pre-paid term; this purchase also included a one-month free trial of our 24/7 LiveTech service. On this same date, both subscription services were cancelled, and a full refund of $21.53 was issued.

    On August 24, 2022, you purchased a one-year license for our iolo System Mechanicsoftware, at a promotional discounted price of $21.66 (including applicable taxes), to be renewed at the regular yearly price of $49.95 (plus tax) at the end of the prepaid term. This purchase once more included a one-month free trial of our 24/7 LiveTech service.

    On August 30, 2022, our records reflect that you made 2 online purchases: the first was a one-year license for our GetMyDrivers Software, at a total cost of $21.53 (including tax), to be renewed at the same yearly price at the end of the prepaid term. Also ordered on this date was a one-year license for our System Mechanic Ultimate Defense Whole Home software bundled with our 24/7 LiveTech service, at a total cost of $181.46 (including tax), to be renewed at the same cost at the end of the prepaid term. While the first order (for GetMyDrivers) was successfully processed and charged to the provided payment card, the second order (for System Mechanic Ultimate Defense Whole Home software and LiveTech) was not successfully processed: the $181.46 total cost for this order was not charged to the payment card provided, as this order did not go through.

    On September 4, 2022, your GetMyDrivers service was cancelled, and a full refund of $21.53 was issued.

    As you have requested in your Better Business Bureau complaint, your remaining subscription for iolo System Mechanic and LiveTech free trial has been cancelled (effective September 15, 2022), and a full refund totaling $21.66 has been issued. Please allow 3 to 5 business days from the date(s) of issuance for credit(s) to post.

THEY ALSO GIVE YOU A CHAT NOW BOX ON THE WEBSITE BUT IT KEEPS TAKING YOU TO A SUBSCIBE PAGE. NOT GETTING WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND THEN NEVER GETTING TO UNSUCSCRIBE. WHAT A SCAM.

    Shortly after I filed with BBB I received an email telling me that the account has been cancelled, and they apologized for everything. So yes I accept there response. I just hate to complain or post bad things about a company since I have two companies I own. I just wish it could have been handled without filing a complaint with the BBB. Don't be afraid of this company because of one BBB complaint. They may have been short staffed or just had a bad employee handling that part of their business. Thank you BBB for such a great job you guys do.
