    On May 13th, 2025, I signed up for the Chegg Study Pack under their monthly subscription. I only use Chegg occasionally, so my typical practice is to subscribe for a single month or during the semester when needed and cancel before the renewal date to avoid further charges. This method has worked smoothly in the past, and Ive always ensured I cancel in a timely manner.This time, however, my bank flagged a recurring charge from Chegg as potentially unauthorized. As soon as I received the alert, I immediately canceled my ***** subscription via their website. Despite my cancellation and the prior flag from my bank, Chegg still processed the charge and refused to issue a refund. Instead of canceling the subscription they repeatedly billed my card until successful. If I flag a transaction as fraud my bank automatically issues me a new debit card and I didnt want to go through the hassle of changing all my current payments again for a simple issue. I contacted ***** customer service and explained the situation. They acknowledged that I had received a refund once before for a similar billing issue and informed me they would not issue another refund. I find this practice unreasonable. My usage pattern is clear, and this charge occurred due to an oversight that I attempted to correct immediately. I never accessed the service during the current billing cycle and believe a refund is fair and warranted.Cheggs unwillingness to consider the individual circumstances or offer any flexibility especially after I acted promptly demonstrates poor customer service. I am simply asking for a refund for the most recent unauthorized charge, which amounts to $21.05, and for Chegg to stop any future recurring charges.

    Hello ******,


    We appreciate you letting us know about your recent experience and are here to look into this matter further for you.


    Reviewing your account with the information provided, we were able to locate an annual Chegg Study Pack subscription purchased on. No successful cancellation had been processed on this subscription which is why charges did continue to process.


    With Chegg Study Pack, the subscription is set to bill until a successful cancellation is made. The service is not billed based on usage, but rather for services rendered. The usage of that service is at the discretion of the student.
    You can cancel your subscription anytime by visiting My Account on ********************, clicking Cancel and completing the steps to cancel. Cancellations take effect at the end of the free trial period (if applicable, to prevent any service charges) or at the end of the billing month in which your request to cancel was received. You can also contact customer support to cancel the membership.


    Typically subscription charges are non refundable per our terms of use, but we have extended a refund on the account for the most recent billing cycle. Please allow 7 business days for the refunds to post back to the original form of payment. 


    At this time, we can confirm the subscription has been cancelled 07/18/2025, so no further charges will continue.


    We thank you for your patience while we got this resolved for you.

    Chegg has been billing me ***** every month for almost 2 years passed the moment my subscription expired. I recently requested in May to have my account fully deleted, thinking that would help. The company emailed me saying it was complete and now ive been billed the same amount for June and ******* subscription expired October of 2023.

    I wish I could explain everything, because it was worse than this review. I ordered a 2-volume set for a 4-week rotation. I couldnt order earlier without the syllabus, so I ordered when I could. They only sent Vol. 1, despite my order clearly being for both. I received it late Thursday, too late to contact them, so I reached out Friday. I was told I'd hear back by Saturday or Monday. I waited until Monday eveningnothing. Then they told me to wait another 72 hours just to locate the ordernot to ship Vol. 2, not even a tracking number, just to investigate. The representative, Matte, was rude and even left notes on my account blocking others from helping. Eventually, another agent said it wasnt Cheggs issue, it was Valores. ****** said it was Cheggs. No one helped. I had to reorder elsewhere. Returning the book was a hassle since Im in an unfamiliar city. The label wasnt set up for pickup, despite *** coming daily. I had to pay $9.50 for that. I want my $40.49 + $9.50 back.

    I am rejecting this response because:  the 21 day policy would be assuming I received my order and changed my mind.  I never actually received my order.  That's why I need something other than the usual policy.  I did try to work with Chegg.  These are the options I tried

    1.  Requesting volume 2:  Chegg declined/ignored.  Days later (a week later), you have not produced vol. 2, made any effort to produce it, and I have no communication saying you in fact found my order.  What you have proof of delivery on is *not* my order.  That's why we are having this situation.  If I had received my order, I would have considered your standard terms appropriate.  That's what we contractually agreed on when I ordered it and you paid.  
    2.  ********** pick up the package:   Chegg declined to offer a label that *** picks packages up on.  I tried to do that with ***.  They said it's the wrong kind of label, and Chegg would have to change it.  I'm still amenable to this option if you want to correct the label.  
    3.  Reimbursing me for *** coming to get it:  Chegg declined, but again, I'm still amenable to that option.  If your software can't fix the label, then i can do it, as long as you agree to pay the pick up fee.  This is a result of you not delivering the order I paid for.  I have not received what I rented.  You sent me the wrong thing, so I can't really be held liable for 21 days of your mistake.  I read through the terms, and it doesn't say I have to pay a rental fee on what I didn't rent.
    4.  Extend for free to the end of the 42 days, but don't charge me, so I have time to get back to my city.  In other words, instead of charging me, refund me, and I will get it back to you in the timeframe I agreed on by whatever means I have to do this.  After all, if you had done what you agreed on when I made the rental, then that would be the obligation.  So refund me $35.49 beyond the 21 days to account for the hardship you are putting me in.  Normally it would be ******************************************************************************************************************** by now.  We are outside of what is normal.  Of course, if I failed to return it in the originally agreed on time (even though it's not the correct order, but I chose the time frame based on my knowledge of my circumstances and when I would be able to manage this), then that make sense to charge me for this incorrect order because I can't just hold onto what you sent me.  I really want to get it back to you.  I just need you to help me do that,.

    I'm rejecting it because what you are saying would only make sense if I received my order.  I did receive something, just not my order.  So based on what you are saying, even though I didn't receive my order, I only have 14 days left to get this incorrect order back to you.  I didn't change my mind.  You didn't fulfill the order.  That's the issue.  If need be, I can send a picture showing what you sent versus what I ordered.  I already attached the receipt showing what I ordered, which isn't what I received.  And I'm traveling on an away rotation, without normal transportation nor familiarity with the city I'm in.  That's why I was counting on Chegg, but Chegg wasn't able to fulfill the order.

    Sincerely,

    ******* ******

    Hello *******,


    Thank you for the clarification, and we truly appreciate the detailed context youve provided.


    Yes, we can definitely help you out. In order to proceed, the first step is for the originally received book to be returned. Once that return is completed and scanned by the carrier, an automatic refund will be processed within 7 days. Since you created a *** label separate from ****** offered label enabling a pick-up, we do not have the capability to refund it due to it being a label from *** directly. We sincerely apologize and can push for the full refund of the original order once the tracking number for the return is provided which is not a part of our typical process but we are making an exception for the full refund quickly. 


    We also want to thank you for confirming that you were looking to have the book picked up. Unfortunately, we do not currently offer the option for *** to pick up packages directly from a customer's location. Upon reviewing your account, we can see that multiple return labels have been generated, each requiring drop-off at a *** location, and there are currently no exceptions available for this process.


    That said, we absolutely understand your frustration and that this situation falls outside the scope of a typical rental experience. What we can offer is a full refund on top of the refund that had already been issued for your shipping fee originally for the order.


    Again, we would like to apologize for the inconveniences this may have caused and aim to resolve this for you as soon as possible.

    I am rejecting this response because:  it didn't resolve my problem.  However, I have to also add that someone else from Chegg reached out and offered the appropriate solution.  So, I can't click "accept" since I don't accept what you said.  I do though consider the matter closed because someone else from Chegg understood the real problem that the order was never received and solved the problem appropriately.  I wish there were a way to close the complaint that didn't indicate I approve of what you said, since it was a denial of the mistake you made in essence by making your mistake my problem.  Perhaps someone at BBB knows how to correctly file this, and I am always appreciative that we have resources like this when companies do not behave responsibly.  I do wish you all the best.

    Under our terms of use, a subscription may be used by only one user. Recent activity on the subscription, such as multiple devices registering on the account simultaneously, combined with other usage patterns, triggered an alert that there may be more than one person using the subscription. When the account is suspended, we will investigate the account more thoroughly and get back to you within 48 hours with a final decision. Reviewing the account we see the suspension has since been lifted.

    Complaint: 23560186

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I have only ever used this service on the app on my phone. Just me. You obviously saw that when reviewed I broke no rules, was treated terribly by customer service, was told I violated a copy write law, (which was probably me screenshotting the notification that my account was suspended after being told it was reinstated) and lost access to the service I pay for for 2 days. 

    It still has not been acknowledged by this company that I did nothing wrong and you should not have taken action against me. Further. I never had had someone sign an email with their name leaving me unable to hold anyone accountable, and I receive replies DAYS later. I also need a refund for the time I was unable to use my service. And ensured that this will not occur again  

    if you are unable to provide this - escalate me to someone who will.

    We appreciate your prompt response and are here to provide clarity.

    Your account has been temporarily suspended because of unusual activity that may be in violation of our Terms of Use. When this happens, you can log into your account to determine whether it can be released or will remain suspendedheres how.

     
    Want to avoid this happening again? The following tips can help:
    Most importantly: make sure no one else is using your account, and that youre not using theirs.
    -Chegg Study allows for three devices to access your account in a given month. Stick to Chegg.com or the Chegg Study app, as using third-party sites or apps to search for questions can look like a new device.
    -Use Chegg Study on just one browser, and avoid incognito mode.
    -Need to use Chegg Study on your phone? Use the Chegg Study app instead of your phones browser. Accessing through the phones browser may make your phone appear like a different device each time you use the site due default privacy settings.
    -If you live, work, and go to school in different cities, consider using a single device to access Chegg Study.
    -Avoid taking screenshots of any Chegg pages.
    -Finally, reset your password to make sure no one is accessing your account without your knowledge.

    Reviewing the account located, we see multiple questions asked in a short period of time which may have reflected as multiple users on a single account.

    Typically subscription charges are non refundable per our terms of use, given your recent experience we have extended a one time courtesy refund towards the most recent billing cycle, however in order to issue a refund the subscription needs to be terminated. If you wish to continue using the service we suggest resubscribing.

    Depending on your financial institution the refunds typically take within 7 business days to post back to the original form of payment.

     

    Thank you so much for your patience while we worked to get this issue resolved.

    Hello ******,

    Again, we would like to apologize for your experience with Chegg.

    We look at many different things on accounts when it is suspended because of unusual activity. At *****, we always assume best-intent from our students. However, in order to protect our users and content, we may take measures to prevent content capture and other forms of misuse of our product. We reserve the right to restrict the number of devices, payment methods, access locations, screenshots, subjects, topics, and content a user can access over a given time period. 

    We see the account was temporarily suspended as a precaution in order for it to be reviewed and was released within 48 hours. The subscription was refunded as requested, if you wish to continue using the service we suggest resubscribing.

    On January 17, 2025 I ordered a text book from Chegg.com as a rental. Thus the book must be returned. I put the textbook in a box, put the return label on it, and dropped it off at a ********** on May 30, 2025. I received an email a day later saying Thanks for sending your book back (see attached image). Finally, today i received an email saying i didnt send my book back and that they charged my card (which they did) for keeping the book. (See other attached image) The problem is I haven't kept the book, i sent it back and they even said so and yet they still charged me for a book I dont have. I have called Chegg.com support and have been on hold for nearly an hour now without anyone answering. This is unacceptable! The charge in my credit card was $50.71.

    I had paused the subscription and it started to charge me without any notice. It was recurring charges without any consent. Also, I was not using the services and it kept charging me no reason. It is very sad to see robbing the money of a student even i was not utilzing the services. They refused to refund entire subscription but they partially did some when i call them so this is why i am requesting to BBB to refund my money. I am willing to get full refund for 4 months. It is total $86.20.

    Hello Rabi,

    We would first like to apologize as we understand unexpected charges are less than ideal, and are here to look into this matter further for you.

    After reviewing the order number provided, we were able to locate the Chegg Study Pack subscription which began on 02/02/2024. We can see the subscription service was paused by the user on 04/01/2024 and set to resume on 09/02/2024. No successful cancellation had been processed on this subscription until your recent contact with support on 04/01/2025, which is why charges did continue to process.

    Chegg Study or Chegg Study Pack monthly subscriptions can be paused at any time. Paused subscriptions are set to take place on the first day of the next billing cycle and last for the duration the user selected. The subscription reactivates automatically at the end of the selected pause duration. The paused subscription can be manually resumed by the user at any time. If the user resumes manually, a prorated fee will be charged for the current billing cycle, after which the user will be charged the normal monthly rate.

    With Chegg Study Pack, the subscription is set to bill until a successful cancellation is made. The service is not billed based on usage but rather for services rendered. The usage of that service is at the discretion of the student. You can cancel your subscription anytime by visiting My Account on ********************, clicking Cancel and completing the steps to cancel. Cancellations take effect at the end of the free trial period (if applicable, to prevent any service charges) or at the end of the billing month in which your request to cancel was received. You can also contact customer support to cancel the membership.

    While the ************************ charges are non-refundable per our terms of use, we can see a refund of the most recent 90 day billing cycle was processed when you reached out to customer support. Please note this is the most that can be refunded on an account. If you wish to pursue additional refunds, we suggest reaching out to your financial institution directly. We can confirm the membership has been cancelled on 04/01/2025 and will no longer bill you further.

    Thank you so much for your patience while we worked to get this issue resolved.

    Best,
    The Chegg Team

    The my question was why didn't they send an email telling me informing me that they are going to charge again after the subscription ended?  And if I was not using it they kept charging me for no reason. I have not used any their services after the paused ended. They can check in their system if I have used but I have not used any of those services so why I'm getting charged for it. They must return my money.

    On 06/04/2025, my credit card was charged $6.95 by Chegg for a book rental extension that was never used and returned on 01/30/2025. The Chegg site does not allow me to delete my credit card details.

    Hello ******,

    We appreciate you letting us know about your recent experience.

    We can definitely understand wanting to verify the book has been returned, and we're happy to see what we can do to help out with that today.

    Looking things over, it appears the book failed to check in properly upon return. We've gone ahead and manually checked the book in for you, you'll notice in your account that it states "reported missing," but don't worry about that status. We've also gone ahead and refunded the extension fee back to you. Those funds should be back in your account within seven business days.

    In reference to removing a payment method, we allow users to update / modify their payment method, however for security purposes if a payment method needs to be removed you can contact our support team to assist: **************************************************************************************************************************************************************


    Given your experience we have taken care of removing the single card associated with the account.

    We thank you for your patience while we got this resolved for you.

    I do not have an account and never have. I tried calling multiple times to report fraud. I was hung up on. I was told no charges are found. I was told no manager available. No fraud department just excuses. I never accepted these charges. I never signed up for these. I want my money refunded. Stealing is wrong. Making excuses and not having staff to handle fraud is not a way to run a business
