I canceled my account on 8/20/2024, after speaking with "Iris". She advised that my credit card would not be charged when that current billing cycle was up. On 6/14/2025 i was billed $130.65 for this service that Iris canceled, and i no longer use. DocuSign refuses to give me a refund, and judging from their reviews this is common practice.Business Response

Docusign randomly upgraded my yearly account 3 months before it expired. So I was over charged $50 for 3 months. They also dont have a complaint department or a refund policy on these overcharges. It shouldnt be this hard to get an explanation for overcharges and get a refund.Business Response

Detailed Complaint:I maintained a paid DocuSign subscription for two consecutive years at $300 per year, totaling $600. During that time, I used the platform to upload, sign, and store sensitive business and legal documents.Without warning, explanation, or justification, DocuSign permanently closed my account and cut off all access to my files. I was not told of any violation or given any chance to resolve an issue. All of my documents covering two full years are now locked away from me.Ive reached out to DocuSign support and received no meaningful response. They have not offered access to my documents, any form of data export, or even a partial refund.This is a paid service that handled important legal documents. Blocking access to everything I paid for with no due process is unethical and possibly illegal.Desired Resolution:Restore full access to my account and all documents,OR Issue a full refund of $600 for the two years of service that were taken from meBusiness Response

My Bank Debit card was compromised in May. Docusign attempted to charge this card however, the card was canceled. I went online to cancel my Docusign account however ******************** would not allow me to cancel my account until another card replaced my canceled card. Horrible business practice.I attempted to create a ticket to receive assistance with canceling my account but the ******************** system did not allow me to create a ticket. I tried multiple times, and on multiple occasions. There is no telephone number nor an email for support. Just a system that does not work. I went online to trouble shoot but saw that other customers were experiencing the same.I changed my card to attempt to cancel but instead of cancelling, my card was charged.I want my $15.00 refunded, my account cancelled and all cards removed from the Docusign system.Business Response

An online signing program called Docusign provided their online service to me for several years. I ordered the service based on an annual payment and annual subscription. I did not agree to auto renew the subscription automatically, especially without any notice or reminder of upcoming payments, and also without any receipts provided. This company provided no notice of upcoming payments or renewals to me. While I was still using the program, I would notice after the fact, that they charged me automatically without notifying me. I would only see the transaction on my credit card statement. I should have investigated but as I was busy using this program for my work, I got distracted and didn't follow up. I now have not used the program for several months and of course was no longer thinking about this program. Once again, I checked my credit card statement and saw they had charged me $250.80. I contacted them immediately and requested cancellation and refund. They refused to provide me a refund even though I no longer need the program and again I hadn't used it for months. Why would they insist on keeping my money for an annual subscription for the next year, that i won't be using? I have read many other online complaints about this same issue with this company not being transparent, and not providing notice of upcoming changes nor receipts. I also tried to remove my credit card information from their website and they would not allow me to delete it, even after cancelling the subscription.Business Response

I was recent charged $600 for a two seat DocuSign account when I only have one seat. In addition, I never authorized an annual reoccurring payment to their company! I reached out to the company directly a few times to try to resolve the matter directly with them, but they insist they cannot refund me but can only reply to a credit. I explained to them that they should not have never drafted any form of annual payment and as a result they are making it seem as if it is all my fault. They never should have drafted and did not even give any kind of advanced notice.Business Response

Thank you for your update. I checked the latest update in the support case ******** that you have open with us for this same issue.

However, in order to proceed with the refund on our end, we will need confirmation from you that you have cancelled the dispute with your bank, as this may result in a double refund.

**** of their sneaky marketing tactics I inadvertently signed up for a service. Then after painstakingly getting them to cancel the subscription, they illegally kept my credit card data (don't allow customers to remove it). then they continued to charge my card the next month. *BEST PART* I'm a "free account" user so I can't even open a case! they reserve that for paying customers (even tho they fraudulently took your money). I've made 6 different attempts to contact this company and they refuse to respond other than saying to open a case (which they willfully removed the feature on) . I've had to freeze my credit card and launch a fraud claim with **** due to their Extremely fraudulent behavior. No wonder they are not accredited. This is what they make their own customers go thru to be treated with any ethical integrity.Business Response
