  I saw that my ********* subscription was about to renew and wanted to downgrade to a lower plan. (downgrade from 5-user premium ($300/yr per user) TO ****** advanced ($192/yr per user)First I logged into my account and found that while one can upgrade through ones portal, one cannot downgrade that ******** I sent an email to the sales department who responded telling me to call a number which she provided (copy of that email attached)I called and spoke to an agent who said I definitely could downgrade. He sent me the document via DocuSign to which I promptly signed. copy of agreement with signature certification attached. That was on 1-28-2025.I was then billed on 1-29-2025 for original amount $1,500 (invoice attached). I immediately called and was initially told that they could not refund once the charge was complete ... WHAT?!Then I was told they would submit a request and gave me a case number (provided here).As of today, I have yet to see an account level change or the credit and every time I call, I get no information other than "the accounting department takes forever".I want my refund AND I think they should have the ability to downgrade your subscription in ones portal.Ultimately, I did what I was told I could do and they ignored it.

  I continue to be ignored by Citrix regarding this matter. Each time I get someone on the telephone, they assure me that I will see a credit in 48 hours. I have been told that several times since the original quote to downgrade was signed in January. It is now March 5. Last week, I spoke to another representative who had me sign a second quote for downgrade and, again, I was told 48 hours. I am still waiting.

  It is very poor customer service and the fact that one can easily upgrade but not so easily downgrade is disturbing to me.

  Based on the fact that I have not had any communication from the BBB since my initial complaint submission indicates to me that they are ignoring you too.

  Their system was almost always overloaded. After a year we decided to move. The system does not allow data download at a reasonable speed. the system allows ONLY few kbps, slower than old dial up modems. It shows 20+ hours to download data. We managed to download data folder by folder, then we saw that the downloaded data was corrupted! It's just not acceptable that they can keep on running this product with no sense of responsibility towards their clients.

  I would like to express my concerns regarding the refund policy for the service. I believed I had successfully canceled my subscription with Podio when it became clear that the system was not being utilized. I believe it would be beneficial for both parties if renewal warnings were provided well in advanceseveral monthsallowing for informed decision-making. Right now, there is one email less than 12 days before. In today's Modern world, emails are buried all the timesimple Text messages with the amount date of renewal. It appears that the organization prioritizes financial considerations, which might detract from the quality of service offered. The default auto-billing option can be unsettling for customers, as it does not provide a straightforward way to opt-out. Instead, cancellation seems to be the only option, which raises concerns about potential data access limitations after 60 days. Even if we end the plan, we immediately lose access to all our data. While I understand that businesses need to operate with financial sustainability in mind, adopting a more customer-centric approach would be advantageous. By considering the impact of the sunk cost fallacy, the organization may risk losing valuable customers in the long run. Utilizing fear as a motivator might lead to short-term gains but could ultimately hinder the business's success. A more compassionate approach may serve both the organization and its customers better. Overall, my experience with the billing team has been frustrating. They seem to lack the authority to address any issues and primarily act as emotional support, dealing with customer anger and frustration rather than resolving problems.Consider this a warning for future users: this company lacks effective customer support.

  Formal *************************** Issues and Billing Discrepancies with Podio I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent service and billing issues I have encountered with Podio.On *****, I was unable to access my Podio account due to a malfunction in the two-factor authentication system. The recovery codes provided also failed to resolve the issue. I contacted customer support and spent 50 minutes in a chat with a representative whose conduct was unprofessional. When I requested to speak with a manager, the chat was abruptly terminated. A manager reached out 32 hours later, by which time I had already lost a significant business opportunity due to the inability to access the platform from my smartphone.Additionally, I decided to remove an employee from our Podio account. Despite this, I was still charged for three employees instead of the two currently in use. My request for a refund for the overcharge was denied.Given these circumstances, I am requesting the following:A full refund for the unauthorized charge for the third employee.Compensation for the business loss and inconvenience caused by the service access issues and inadequate customer support.I trust that Podio values its customers and will address these concerns promptly. I look forward to your response and a satisfactory resolution to these matters.I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ***** ******** ATTENTION, NO SOLUTION AND WASTE MY TIME AND SHAREFILE CASE #******** Sincerely,AB

  I specifically contacted the company in February this year to cancel renewal of our service for Right Signature which was set to renew 4/29/24. There is nowhere on the account login to be able to cancel on my own. There is no payment information associated with the account so the bill can only be paid through check. I had several messages back and forth on chat in March confirming they would not invoice me for renewal in April. They assured me they would not although could not provide me with any proof of cancellation. Since the renewal date passed, I have been receiving emails asking for payment for a renewed invoice.I have not used the service since our contract expired from last year which was 4/29/24.They do not answer calls and the help support link goes nowhere.

  Citrix - ShareFile / RightSignature has made it almost impossible to cancel a subscription. I had already turned off auto renew but the company attempted to charge me anyway. On 8/12/2024 they charged me $216 even though I had turned off auto renew and was eventually able to successfully contact them and cancel the subscription. When I treed to cancel my subscription there is no place to access subscriptions. Searching RightSignature the suggestion was to log in and find subscriptions (now impossible), or contact the support email at: *************************** the email no longer works. Searching help on Right Signature takes me to a page that says contact support to cancel, but that page no longer works, it has a link to email support, that link doesn't work. I tried to find subscriptions on ShareFile instead of RightSignature. There is no longer a way to access subscriptions on ShareFile. Going to help and looking up cancel my subscription I see a response that says use the chat function. The listed hours for Chat are 8pm Sunday to 8pm Friday, contacting them on Monday which is in that timeframe give me "No one is available start a case". I have filed a case. This is a large company, making it this difficult to cancel an account seems like fraud. The fact that I already stopped auto renew and they attempted to charge my account, is fraud. They were eventually able to process a charge on an expired card without authorization. Elderly people, or people that are not technically adept, will get charged for services they do not want. This should be fixed. It should be simple enough to add a button that says cancel my subscription on a screen of subscriptions. If there are reasons why, or issues that need to be agreed, like you will lose access to all your signed documents, you can present them and let the customer agree. There is no excuse for not allowing people to cancel their subscription. The charge was submitted after turning off auto-renew should be refunded.

  Response to Company Email

  Md *****************************, 
  
  I appreciate your refunding the money you charged after my account was set to not auto-renew, and after the account was cancelled.  Please send me confirmation that the money was refunded.
  
  There are a number of places that your system directs users on how to cancel their account.  All of which do not work.  Those methods need to be removed from your system or reactivated to make sure they work.  Nobody should have to spend more than 5 minutes to figure out how to cancel their account and they should not have to talk to a live person to do so.  Telling someone that they have to use a chat function to cancel their account and then having the chat function not work is terrible. It should be clear what customers signed up for and what they will be charged for.  If their subscription is set to auto renew they should have a way to turn that off that works.  Your system should not attempt to renew or process charges on a customer's credit card after they set their account to not auto renew.  You should also not process charges on an expired customer card unless you can get the customer to update their billing and agree to continue their account.  
  
  What are you going to do about the following:
  
  1) Are you going to fix the problems related to instructions for canceling the account that do not work?
  
  2) Are you going to make it so that users can cancel their accounts without having to live chat or talk to a customer service person?
  
  3) Are you going to ensure that customers have the option to turn off auto-renew on subscriptions?
  
  4) Are you going to ensure that once a customer turns off auto-renew that you will cancel the account and not attempt to charge the customer again?
  
  5) Are you going to make sure that if a card is expired but not updated by a customer you will give sufficient warning and attempt to contact the customer but will instead cancel their account and not attempt to charge them if you do not receive updated information?
  
  I'm looking forward to your answers.

  With the following Response  I am now willing to accept the response.

   

  I hope you are doing well.
  
  As per the discussion over the phone, we will make sure to fix the problems related to instructions for canceling the account, We are working with our engineering team to have this issue fixed all at once.
  
  The account was migrated to a new billing platform, which caused issues with canceling the account during the contract term. As a result, the system instructed you to contact support for cancellation.
    
  I will take this feedback and inform my management about the issue so that you wont have to face difficulties canceling the account or contacting support agents via chat or phone.  
  
  We will also ask our engineering team to investigate the issues with auto-renewal on expired credit cards.
  
  I have requested a refund for the most recent charge (invoice xxxxxxxxxxx, $216.00). I hope this resolves your concerns. I apologize again for the inconvenience youve experienced.

  I have heard this kind of response a few times in the past few months. ********* says someone (a supervisor) will call me and they never do, or at least they never leave a message. I have been promised a refund of $274 which has never materialized. I have been cut off in my telephone calls quite a few times as well in the middle of talking to someone. But the main go to line is that someone will call me back.

  I am filing a complaint against Citrix Systems, Inc. regarding their refusal to change my annual subscription plan to a monthly plan despite the annual plan not yet starting. This has resulted in me being forced to pay for services I do not need for the entire year.Complaint Details: Invoice Details: Invoice No.: ************ Invoice Date: April 29, 2024 Due Date: May 29, 2024 Total Amount: $3,372.00 USD Services Billed: ShareFile PREMIUM, RightSignature, Podio Premium Subscription Issue:I contacted Citrix on May 28, 2024, to request a change from an annual to a monthly subscription plan. Despite the annual billing period not yet commencing, Citrix representatives informed me that changes to the billing plan could only be made after the completion of the current annual period. This policy was not communicated to me at the time of purchase, and I am now being forced to pay for a full year of services which I do not require.Reason for Complaint: Lack of Transparency: At no point during the purchase process was I informed that the subscription could not be converted to a monthly plan once billed annually. Unreasonable Policy: Forcing customers to wait a full year to change their subscription plan, even if the billing period has not yet started, is unreasonable and unfair. Financial Burden: This policy imposes an unnecessary financial burden on my business, as I am now required to pay $3,372.00 upfront for services I do not need for the entire year.Desired Resolution:I request the following resolution: Immediate Refund: A full refund of $3,372.00 for the annual subscription charged on Invoice No. ************. Plan Conversion: Conversion of my subscription plan from annual to monthly billing, allowing me to pay for and use the services on a monthly basis as needed.Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter promptly.

  I want following:
  5 Podio Premium licenses ( same what i have)     $24 * 5 =  $120
  
  Sharefile  Premium    (from 5 to 3 users)              $27.50*3 = $82.5
  Total                                                               $202.5
  
  
  So $202.5 on monthly basis not on annual basis. So refund the total annual fee.
  
  I have been your customer for 10 year.
  
  You have charged me for Right Signature separately  for current year and last year. That needs to be refunded as well. You are double charging as Right Signature is part of Podio Premium.

  Since setting up an account with Sharefile, billing has been a nightmare, so I requested automatic payment. Automatic pay was supposed to be set up originally. I was told that it would be. Now a year later, my account is locked, with a notification that they have been trying to contact me (I have no missed calls or emails from them, provable in discovery). Their telephone number can't be accessed, because my account is locked. After finally finding an email for them and requesting and receiving a telephone number to call, their billing department said that they have failed to automate payments, so I owe them thousands of dollars immediately. They will not discount the bill even though they failed to charge and failed to notify us of any invoices. After the billing nightmares and lack of updates on needed features, I think it might be time to find another solution.
