I am rejecting this response because:
Im telling you, only I have access to a bank card, no one from my family knows about your site, products, and no one paid for anything. I gave all the information I have. Someone paid with my card, I want to know this persons email, at least some data and for you to cancel his subscription. I dont know how this person or you have my bank card information. Therefore, I request a refund and cancellation of the subscription.
Sincerely,

On December 11th I purchased Svelte Life's "one and done" program. I received many emails, some with confusing and misleading information. On December 13th, after reading one of the emails, I opened a link to get more information about another Svelte program. When I clicked a button on the website, I was automatically charged for joining another program (Accelereted ************************), without my consent. I contacted the company to cancel all subscriptions as they offer a 60 day money back guarantee. However, I received no response or refund. In total I received 4 charges on my credit card, the largest of which was 99 dollars. I'm in ******, and the foreign currency exchange ends up making these values even higher. I want these subscriptions to be canceled and a full refund!Business Response

I hope this email finds you well. I want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've encountered with our program's billing. Your experience is certainly not reflective of the quality of service we strive to provide, and we're committed to addressing this matter promptly.

Additionally, we would like to clarify that the recurring charges you experienced are likely associated with a subscription that you may have inadvertently signed up for during the registration process.

To underscore our commitment to your satisfaction, we are thrilled to remind you of our 60-day guarantee.

I bought this subscription on line and it was the hardest most difficult app to use. I did not realize I was in a 7 day trial then monthly charges. I thought it was a free trial then you signed up. I realized I was being charged in Oct and went through the app and I thought I cancelled. In Nov I was charged again I look and seen I was cancelled through app and deleted. I looked to see if I had a subscription anywhere and couldnt locate one. I thought well maybe this is the last one. Not so, I was charged again *****. I found a customer service number and called. I explained it of course she basically said I was lying. Then proceeded to try and sell me another deal. Unbelievable really ****** later and I was to cancel again. I am so frustrated. This was an awful service and customer service was right on par with offering poor service. I hope people read the reviews because I promise if you are busy and not watching every charge this company will sneak in and charge you for services.Business Response

On 08/31/23 I attempted to cancel a membership through Svelte Media. The initial payment was supposed to be for $29. They "refunded" me $10, then subsequently charged me $51.94 on 08/03, 08/31, 10/02, 10/31, and 11/29 for a total of $259.70 after my membership was supposed to be cancelled. I have reached out to my bank for a stop on any potential transactions from this group. In addition, I continue to be literally bombarded by texts and emails trying to continue to sell me on health supplements, exercise programs, and more. I am saving them just in case you or my bank need to see them.Business Response
