I cancelled a monthly subscription with DocuSign 8/24/23, and the monthly subscription was set to expire on 8/25/23.On 8/26/23, which was after I had cancelled, and after my final month had expired, DocuSign charged my card again as if I hadn't cancelled my subscription. I immediately contacted them to request a refund. After 4 emails with them, they eventually informed me that I was not eligible for a refund. This doesn't make sense, because they charged me for something I did not agree to, then told me I couldn't have my money back.Please help me get my $15 back. I don't understand why they have been so difficult.Business Response

Hi ******,

As mentioned on our Plans and Pricing page (********************************************************), the annual charge per user is $480 and since your subsription has 4 users, you were charged $480 x 4 = $1920.

I am filing a complaint against DocuSign. I had an account but no longer had access to the email.

Eventually, on August 22, 2022, I received an email from ****************************************** asking me to declare I would not file a dispute if they agreed to close my case. I responded that I agreed and I received a refund of $90. On September 10, I responded to the email, letting them know they had charged my account again. This is coming up to a year that they keep charging my account, and I want it to stop. I've had my banking account for over 13 years, and all of my living expenses and transactions go through this account and. I don't want to be forced to close it because this company can't correctly close my account.I want a full refund from September 2022 -August 2023.

I contacted DocuSign on 07-19-2023 to alert them that I wished to cancel my account so that I wouldn't be charged in August as scheduled. They responded to me giving me Case Number: ******** on July 19 telling me the information they needed from me to get this accomplished. I immediately provided this information. They offered me a free account versus closing it. I agreed on July 19. 2023. I then was charged the monthly fee of $48.83 08-05-23. I contacted them via the original email chain so that the conversation in which the account was downgraded to a free account would be clearly visible. The response I received was:The case you have replied to has been closed.If you require further assistance, log in to the DocuSign ************** and create a new case. Important: Add a reference to Case #******** so we can review your case history if your issue is related to a previous case.Visit docusign.com/support to view our additional Support resources.Thank you,DocuSign Support The issue is that I now have a free account and the options to contact them about this are no longer available because I have a free account. The *** is no help either. I did try to contact them via other avenues with no response whatsoever. I simply want a refund and assurance that I will no longer be charged for a service that I no longer have and have email confirmation that I cancelled well before the deadline to avoid this charge. They will not respond to reasonable requests and make it impossible to contact them about anything via their website.Business Response

For the second time in one year Docusign has without warning or notice billed me DOUBLE the price of the plan I signed up for. They continue to act fraudulently by overcharging.They need to immediately credit me the ~$250 from the $511 they just fraudulently charged me to get back to the plan I have always had.Business Response
Date: 08/08/2023
Hi *******,
Our records show that your account had 2 active users when you were charged for the annual plan. Per our pricing page (********************************************************************************), each user costs $240 per year, which is why you were charged $511.68 (including taxes) for 2 users.
Please note that each email login counts as an individual user account. If you don't require the extra user, then please close it by going to "Settings > Users > Actions > close" from your account. Once the extra account has been closed we can start processing a refund for the closed user.
Please let us know if you have any further concerns or update your open support case 12084973.

Hi Mandy,
Apologies for the experience you have had. We have now reduced the total number of users from 2 to 1 in your account and also processed a refund for the charges for the additional user, for the past 6 months. The refund amount is $270, which is subject to taxation and proration and should be reflected in your bank account within the next 3-5 business days.
"seat" is a terminology that we use for users in an account, as stated in the support case 11108550 on February 3rd, 2023:
Seats are the users that you can register in your account and who will be able to send envelopes. Each seat will give you 100 envelopes per year for your entire account. If you want to purchase another seat, follow the instructions in the email you received or contact sales at **************.The number of users was not increased by our support team and it was done via the link from the email that was sent to you. We can assure you that we don't process any changes to the account plan without the written consent from the customer.
Thank you for your patience while we worked through this issue. Please let us know via this complaint or the open support case 11907483 if you have any further concerns about your refund.

Hello *******,
Currently we can only find one account that is using the email address ****************** and it is an expired Free Trial account. This may explain why you are not able to update the email address in the desired account. Could you provide me more details as to the account you are looking to be added to or close, like the account number or an existing email within this account? Once we are able to isolate it we can work with the administrator of this account to proceed with the changes you are requesting.

Hello ****,
Just so you are aware DocuSign's policies and procedures prevent us from taking these kinds of actions on a customers account without signed legal authorization from the account administrator of the account in question. Much for the same reason that you would not want a signer of a document you created and send out for signature to have the authority to have us delete your document from an account that you own and pay for. If you have a good working relationship with the sender of this document you can send them this support article that explains how they can delete the document you mentioned in your message and use our purge feature to permanently remove the document for good - *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
