  I am 74 and legally blind. I have no means to go to appointments. I use gogo grandparent, which I thought was ***** It is **** and Lyft and others. I have been charged no show fees this year a number of times. I fight all but only got one back. I am accused of not being there. I dont know makes of cars, cant see license plates, and names do not tell me the *** of a driver. I go by the color of the vehicle. The drivers cancel because I cant see them, they never call my name, and I get charged. I thought Gogo was a cheaper way to use **** for old people. NOT. THEY CHARGE 35 BUCKS TO GO A MILE, OR THEY DRIVE THE LONGEST ROUTE. THERE IS AN EXTRA FEE FOR GOGO. I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO CONTINUE THIS. THE CHARGES ARE SO HIGH. I AM ALONE AND NEED HELP. THEY ARE NO HELP TO ME. I WAIT OVER 1/2 HOUR AT TIMES BECAUSE A DRIVER CANCELS. THEN THE CHARGE GOES UP. I HAD THE HEAD OF A PROGRAM AT ********************** WITH ME WHEN I called ***** Since the building is new they could not find me. The Gogo people promised 2 times to explain to 2 different drivers where I was. I could not talk to any driver. He never found me and I got charged a no show fee. They will not give me the fee back. I told the man from the program that **** would charge me. They did. This is a rip off for old and disabled. Its called Elder Abuse. Next I will report them anywhere I can. I have had this happen for 3 years. Thank you.

  Dear customer,
  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties youve faced while using our service, and we understand how frustrating these issues must be.
  We have filed a request for a supervisor to contact you directly to review and resolve your concerns. If they are unable to reach you, they will leave a voicemail. Youre also welcome to call us and ask to speak with a supervisor at any time.
  To make your experience smoother, we want to remind you that we can save specific locations to your account to help drivers locate you more easily. I reviewed your account and saw that you have over 20 saved locations. It might be helpful to go over these addresses with a supervisor or one of our operators to ensure each one is accurate. Additionally, we can adjust the pin location on these saved addresses, which can help prevent drivers from missing the pickup spot.
  Weve gone ahead and made adjustments to a few of the saved locations on your account, but with so many, we feel it would be best for you to review them with someone on the phone to make sure they meet your needs.
  Again, we apologize for the challenges youve experienced, and we are here to help. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to improve your experience with us.
  Warm regards,
  The GoGoGrandparent Team

  On October 25, 2024, I ordered dinner from GOGO Grandparent. I ordered a fish and oyster platter from Friendly Shores Seafood and Grill. The oysters were left off the order. I immediately phoned Gogo Grandparent and spoke with *****, the supervisor. He was filthy and rude, speaking to me as if I were a dog. He told me I needed to take a photo of the food and submit it to him. I told him I couldn't snap a picture, and I sat there hungry. So I informed him that I was going to cancel my membership because he was so disrespectful. This ***** person could care less and ended the marriage. So right after I got through talking to this ***** person, I called Friendly Shores Seafood and Grill, and they apologized and said they had accidentally left the oysters off of the plate. I called back to GoGo grandparent and told the supervisor, *****, that the restaurant had admitted to leaving the office and still said I needed to send a picture. This **** grandparent company, just likes to steal money off of your credit card. They are theives!!!

  Dear Customer,
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the issues you faced with your recent order and any frustration it may have caused. We understand how disappointing it must have been not to receive your complete meal as expected.
  To clarify, GoGoGrandparent is a service that provides access to third-party apps like DoorDash, ***** and Lyft, without the need for a smartphone. While we facilitate the connection, we do not manage the restaurants or the drivers directly. However, we do our best to assist in resolving any issues you encounter. In cases like this, third-party apps may request photo evidence for order discrepancies, which is why you were asked to provide a picture. We understand that this process can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience.
  In this particular case, we escalated the issue with DoorDash on your behalf, resulting in a $6.98 credit, which weve added to your account as a gesture of goodwill. We hope this helps, and we are grateful for your feedback, as it helps us improve our service.
  Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any further concerns or questions. We are here to support you and make things right whenever possible.
  Warm regards,
  The GoGoGrandparent Team

  I am rejecting this response because:

   

  this RESPONSE IS TOTALLY INSANE. As it is also a lie. How can you negotiate 6.98 for me when I am no longer using your service. I do not have an account with you. You all have not put any money back on my credit card. Please refund my money or I this will be actionable. Your owner will have to appear in  court for stealing money from my credit card.

  Complaint taken in dictation by BBB *** SS 10/23/2024 Last Thursday on 10/17/2024 I took two rides with this transportation service. During my first ride I left my bag at the restaurant and the ****** initially refused to take me back. He eventually agreed to taking me back to the restaurant to retrieve my bag but refused to take me home to my original destination. I offered to pay the difference in the cost of the ride. I then had to call a second ****** to get to my original destination and I felt very unsafe during this ride.

  Dear customer,
  
  Thank you for your follow-up. We understand your concerns, and we appreciate your patience as we work through the process.
  
  When a dispute is filed, the payment provider (in this case, ****************) places a hold on the transaction amount while they investigate. Once you confirmed that you withdrew the dispute, it can still take up to 30 business days for the bank to notify our payment processor, ******, about the update. After Stripe receives this confirmation, we can process the refund on our end.
  
  Currently, our records show that we are waiting for final confirmation from ****** to confirm that the dispute is fully closed. Once this confirmation is received, well be able to process the refund to your **************** card.
  
  We understand this process can be frustrating, but it is necessary to ensure the transaction is properly closed before we issue the refund. Please rest assured that we are monitoring this closely and will move forward as soon as we can. 
  
  If you have any questions or need further assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out.

  I am rejecting this response because: Hi folks..so *****... I received your phone call when I got home from work. I appreciate that, however. tell your two owners I am a small potato grandfathered in person, and you're a big company. The. simple courtesy. Most business owners do when they've made the mistake and you made the mistake. You charged my platinum **************** card without my permission because of a phone number that was not mine. And you acknowledge that. the simple courtesy every company would do would automatically refund my money and wait for stripe and **************** to refund to you. I can't believe you're dragging this on. You're making me so upset with your company and your company's policies. This needs to be escalated to your owners. They need to know this. I own my own company. I would immediately, if I made a mistake, refund money to a client. And you're telling me I have to wait 30 days. That's really unacceptable from a big company to a small potato client of yours. Like I said, after all these years, you. made the mistake. I did nothing. I literally did nothing other than give you in good faith my **************** card for you to keep on file and you charged it without my permission. Very disappointed in your business platform. But I guess I got to wait 30 days for you to guys to take care of this So better business bureau. This dispute is not settled. I'm very upset with this company and very disappointed that they can't reach in their ***** cash and refund me $40.63. I will keep us open until I receive my money from them.

  I am a 85-year old retiree who sometimes needs to hire a driver for a 10 mile round trip from my home to the nearest supermarket and back. On 8/30/24 I searched GoGoParent online for such a trip and failed to find the one that would have accommodated my needs. I cancelled possible choices that have been offered as unsatisfactory. Yet despite the fact that I never applied for their membership they charged $14.99 to my **** card. Furthermore, I found that they made me their member and are going to charge $14.99 every month on day 30. I found no way to cancel my involuntary "membership" electronically, since they provide no membership cancellation nor my "member" profile links. The only way to do it is to call them and cancel with the operator. When I called their number on 9/13/24 at about 9:00 PM EST and requested cancellation, I am not sure that I achieved my purpose, since the operator didn't ask to spell my name nor provide my email address or telephone. My conclusion is that in my case the company behaved dishonestly. I am convinced that my case is not unique and it is their style of imposing their membership fee on older folks who sometimes have no ability nor desire to write such elaborate complaints. Thus I may represent a determined 85-year old who is resolved to have a just resolution for such and aggressive mode of operation.

  Dear Customer,
  
  Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion and frustration youve encountered. We take your feedback seriously, and we want to ensure that you feel heard and understood.
  
  After reviewing our records, we see that your membership was created, and during the registration process online, the option for our monthly Basic Membership at $14.99 was selected. We understand that the registration process may not have been as clear as you'd hoped, and we deeply regret any misunderstanding that this may have caused.
  
  Please rest assured that your account has been successfully closed as of September 13, 2024, and no further charges will be processed. Unfortunately, as you are outside of the 30-day refund window, we are unable to provide a refund for the previous charges.
  
  We truly value our customers and want you to know that we are committed to improving our service. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience you experienced and appreciate your feedback as it helps us to enhance our processes.

  Dear customer,

  Thank you for reaching out to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your GoGoGrandparent account. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration you've experienced.

  We understand that managing finances and services can sometimes be challenging, and we want to clarify the situation regarding your account.

  During your initial registration call on July 29th, 2024, you selected our monthly membership plan at $29.99. This plan came with the flexibility to cancel at any time, as discussed during the call.
  On September 1st, 2024, you responded to our text message offer, agreeing to switch from the monthly plan to our Value Annual plan, which offers a lower monthly rate by paying for the entire year upfront. You confirmed this change via text message after we explained that the annual plan would cost $245.88 for the year, with a prorated refund applied to your account for the remaining unused portion of your monthly plan. This switch was processed successfully on September 2nd, 2024.

  We understand that circumstances may change, and while our annual plans are designed to offer significant savings, they are generally non-refundable as they provide a discounted rate in exchange for upfront payment. However, we are committed to ensuring our customers are satisfied and well-informed about their options.

  Wed like to have one of our supervisors speak with you directly to review your account and discuss any possible solutions. If we are unable to reach you, the supervisor will leave a voicemail, and you are welcome to call us back at ************** to discuss further. We truly value your business and want to ensure that your experience with us meets your expectations.

  Thank you again for your feedback, and we look forward to resolving this matter to your satisfaction.

  Dear customer,

  Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration you have experienced regarding your account with **********************.

  After reviewing our records, we see that you registered for our service on March 26, 2024. During the registration call, you provided your payment details and confirmed the activation of a membership, which is required to access our services. Our representative explained the membership fees, and you were informed that there would be a $14.99 monthly charge for the Basic Plan, which also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

  Additionally, we discussed the cost estimate for your ride and proceeded to schedule it for the same day. While we strive to provide a seamless experience, we understand that you may not have been fully satisfied with the service or the process, and for that, we truly apologize.

  Regarding the charges on your credit card, these were for the membership you signed up for during that call. We understand that you may not have noticed these charges until recently, and we regret any inconvenience this has caused.

  We want to ensure you feel fully supported and would be happy to discuss this matter further. A supervisor will be reaching out to you shortly to address any additional concerns you may have and to explore any possible solutions. If they are unable to reach you directly, they will leave a voicemail with instructions on how to get in touch with us at your convenience.

  Saw commercial on TV for GOGO GRANDPARENTS On March 15/2024. $124.68. No excuse but, I am 68 yrs old and live alone. I actually didnt know the funds came out of my Credit Card immediately! I was under the impression no funds would be drawn until your first use of this service! I am using credit cards daily getting my house ready to sell! Going thru my *********** CREDIT CARD FOR RECEIPTS in July, 2024 was the first time I noticed $124.68 was taken from my credit card, even though I did not have a reason to contact them! I did call immediately to cancel and get a refund. I was told no problem! Today, is a month later and I still dont have a refund to my account! I call GOGO and start with a girl who must be very new. She didnt have the sense to put me on hold, was talking, mumbling, for a while! I did give her all the time she needed but, I go to a supervisor *****! He says its over 3 months ago and they wont issue a refund.

  Complaint: 22174083
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  the charge went thru my *********** credit card March 14/24 $124.83 and, I have not looked at a *********** invoice until July, 2024.  I put $50,000 on that credit in 4 months!  I just kept it fully paid to zero due to too many contractors & orders for them were coming in consistently!  In July, I was finally able to have all my receipts and labor to make sure its all correct.

  $124.83 I finally saw approx. July 23/24.  I thought I was purchasing **** rides in advance and GOGO had my funds and would pay them direct.  I didnt use GOGO once in that time and finally looked at it closely and realized I would be paying them to arrange to pick me up!  Im not that far gone and cant see a time when I would require that type of service.  I dont know if anyone would need to pay someone for something thats free!  
  I wished Id gone further looking for reviews!  But, remodeling my home was all consuming.  I understand I would have received a full refund for 90 days after signing up for this and I do know Im 4 1/2 months late!  Since I didnt call once or even use the website (because I had no need to), please allow me this refund!  Im living on $925 in social security disability (my Dad made me do house b/c it was so bad he wouldnt stay here)!

  or do I just become yet another senior on SOCIAL SECURITY, added to your bad reviews about the same issue!  I am 68 but, have been disabled since ************************** computing what I saw on a commercial and what I ordered right away from your website!

  Please take it into consideration!
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because: I almost never allow anyone to use my accounts unless I talk to them directly.  Since I dont remember I must assume I did!  I know I thought it was for **** RIDESZFa WHEN IM NOT WELL AND THESE FUNDS WOULD PAY FOR ****!  I bought for emergency in case  I cant drive!  Ive had groceries delivered since 2017.  Your sales pitch is misleading, I would have no reason to contact you, ever!  I can dial 911!  Since your ad campaign is directed at senior citizens, I see reviews are similar to mine.  What youre selling on TV is not what what the consumer thinks theyre getting.  Which in my case is nothing!  I had no reason to even contact you, which I am dumbfounded about!  Please refund my $124.83 ASAP!  You actually have very limited customers that would buy something like this!
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because:  by sending me back to a phone number and a supervisor is something Im not willing to do .  Im sure I will get the same circle and still be out $124.83 for nothing at all!  Do you own **** or have shared?  Dealing with the elderly that have a hard enough time with technology should allow flexibility!

  Complaint taken in dictation by H363137**3238313831H rep ** 8/20/24 First they want the money for there service. They told me they hire ***** ******** and the call them and they say its a small charge. I pay $29.99 a month. Then they charge $69 and I was getting scared that I would get stranded by reading the review. There not clear about the total cost of the ride to your appointment. They call there self a concierge. They don&#**;t provide you with a total cost up front before you buy there subscription. And when I read about a woman that was stranded because of $60 fee. I called them to ask them how much it be and they said they think it will $14. With me living on social security I cannot afford not knowing what I would pay and they don&#**;t know how much it will actually be. I cancelled my subscription. They are not telling you the upfront cost. It is illegal for them to not tell you the upfront cost for your ride.

  Dear Customer,
  
  Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We truly value your feedback and want to ensure that every aspect of our service is clear and transparent for all our customers.
  
  After reviewing the registration call, we can confirm that our operator did explain how our services work, including the use of third-party providers like ***** DoorDash, and others. We always strive to provide an accurate estimate of the total cost whenever you request a ride, meal, or other service, and we wait for your confirmation before proceeding with the order. This estimate includes both the third-party provider's charge and our GoGo concierge fee.
  
  We understand that living on a fixed income means you need to know the costs upfront, and we are committed to making this process as transparent as possible. You are always welcome to call us at any time to request an estimate before deciding whether to proceed with a service.
  
  We apologize if this was not made clear to you earlier, and we sincerely regret any confusion or concern this caused. To ensure that all your questions are answered and to help you fully understand our service, a supervisor will be reaching out to you shortly. If they are unable to connect with you directly, they will leave a voicemail so you can return the call at your convenience. You are also welcome to call us at ************** and ask to speak with a supervisor who can assist you further.
