  I was biiled $49 and I don't know what for. I called eForms. The person answering the phone was nice but she couldn't tell me what I was getting billed for.I think this happened due to paying taxes and some how I got routed to eForms. It is supposedly free but after two weeks they bill you.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it does not represent a genuine account of the customer utilizing our services or communicating with our customer support staff.

  
  This customer registered an account under the email address ******************* and activated a Monthly Subscription Plan on March 20, 2024. This plan comes with a 7-Day Free Trial for new members. The terms of the subscription and free trial period are listed in our Terms of Use and reiterated prior to the initial download when activating the subscription. We also provide cancelation instructions to the customer in their activation confirmation email. This subscription was NOT canceled during the free trial period, nor in the initial billing cycle prior to its renewal on April 28, 2024. 

  
  Customers can cancel at any time from their eForms dashboard, or by contacting customer support via phone, email, or live chat. A renewal notification and payment receipt is sent at every renewal period. 
  No cancellation requests were ever made prior to the customer contacting us via phone on April 30, 2024, following the most recent renewal charge. 

  
  The claims made in the complaint regarding our support staff not being able to tell the customer what he was billed for are not factual. All customer activity and communication is timestamped and phone calls are recorded for quality assurance purposes. When the customer contacted us via phone on April 30, 2024, at 11:04 AM EST, our support staff informed the customer that his email (provided by the customer) was used to register an account and activate a Monthly Subscription Plan on March 20, 2024. The plan was used to create a Washington Background Check Authorization Form. The customer confirmed he he created the form, and verified his personal information entered on the form. Our agent informed the customer that the account was billed as he signed up for the Monthly Subscription Plan and no prior cancellation was requested during the free trial period through the time of his call on April 30, 2024. The customer then asked for the subscription to be canceled. 

  
  Our support agent canceled the subscription per the customer's request, and sent a cancellation confirmation email to the customer at 11:07 AM EST on April 30, 2024, immediately following the conclusion of their phone call at 11:06 AM EST. Though the subscription had been canceled, the customer has access to his account and all services under the Monthly Subscription Plan until the end of the billing period which concludes on May 28, 2024, at 5:49 PM EST. The subscription will not renew, and the account will not be billed again. 

  
  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it doesnt represent a genuine experience utilizing our services, or interacting with our customer support staff. All details and terms of the Monthly Subscription Plan were provided at checkout, reiterated upon registration, and in the activation confirmation email. Payment confirmation and renewal notices were sent at the time of renewal. Contrary to this complaint, our support agent relayed the account activity and reasoning the customer was billed in detail upon inquiry when the customer called our support line on April 30, 2024.

  Between 01/16/2024 and 03/16/2024 Eforms has charged my paypal account 3 times $49 unauthorized. I downloaded a FREE rental agreement from their website and was never disclosed i would be charged a monthly fee. I never received a receipt of charge, never once received any email regarding charges or any communication from the website. They quietly charged my account $147 over 3 months for 1 piece of paper that was FREE. I attempted to resolve with them various times by calling ************.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it does not represent a genuine experience interacting with our customer support staff, nor our communication relating to subscription renewal notifications.

  
  This customer registered an account under the email address ********************* to activate a Monthly Subscription Plan on January 8, 2024, at 4:11 PM EST. This plan comes with a 7-Day Free Trial for new members, which was utilized to successfully download a Massachusetts Residential Lease Agreement. The terms of the subscription and free trial duration are listed in our Terms of Use and reiterated prior to the initial download when activating the subscription. We also provide cancelation instructions to the customer in their activation confirmation email. This subscription was NOT canceled during the free trial period, and no cancellation requests were ever made prior to the customer contacting us via email on March 18, 2024, following her most recent renewal charge. 

  
  Customers have the ability to cancel their subscriptions by contacting our customer support team via phone, email, or live chat. They can also cancel at any time from their eForms dashboard or through PayPal. A renewal notification and payment receipt is sent via email at every renewal via PayPal, as this customer utilized the third-party merchant as the funding source for her subscription. 

  
  All customer activity and communication is timestamped for record-keeping purposes, and we have NO records of any communication from account activation until March 18, 2024. When the customer contacted us requesting cancellation and a refund on March 18, 2024, via email, we informed her that we could not edit any transactions as she already filed direct disputes with PayPal. Transactions are put into a HOLD status with PayPal until PayPal completes its investigation for the disputes. We informed the customer that we have no ability to edit during PayPals investigation, and we must abide by the decision stemming from their case findings. 
  

   

  PayPal contacted us on March 26, 2024, indicating that all three (3) dispute cases were found in eForms favor based on the lack of prior cancellation and no communication from the customer requesting to cancel previous to the latest subscription renewal on March 16, 2024. As such we informed the customer that we had to abide by PayPals findings. We confirmed with the customer directly that PayPal found the dispute cases in our favor and that we canceled her subscription at period end. The customer had access to her account and all of our services until April 16, 2024. The subscription did not renew, and the account was not billed again.  

  
  We respectfully request that this review be removed as it does not represent a genuine experience utilizing our services or interacting with our customer support staff. Attached to this response are the case findings from PayPal in eForms favor based on the customers direct disputes for the charges in question.

  I am rejecting this response because:

   

  I was NEVER informed of such charges. I downloaded a FREE rental agreement ONE piece of paper. The company went on to charge $49 THREE times without my knowledge. I received no receipts for the transactions from eForms - No confirmation emails - NO thank you for your payment the company kept charging. It was not until i was reviewing paypal transactions for something else that i noticed the charges. Even after disputing the charges eForms refused to refund or take accountability even though i never used the service other than that 1 free trial download. As a consumer i feel the company is deceiving customers and utilizing their free trial as means to extort consumers.
  
  Sincerely,

  We understand the customer's frustration, but *********************** is not able to do anything further regarding this account based on the customer filing disputes directly with PayPal, and PayPal finding each case in eForms' favor.

  To clarify, a Monthly Subscription with a 7-Day Free Trial was activated. She did not download "one free form." Our free templates are located on each form's webpage. This customer elected to utilize our proprietary form-filling software (a premium service) instead of downloading the free template, and activated the Monthly Subscription Plan at the time of download. If the subscription was canceled within the new member 7-Day Free Trial, the customer would have obtained the premium plan's form for free, even after using the form-filling services. As there was no cancellation requested, the subscription renewed after the conclusion of the free trial period. As stated in our original response, a renewal notification and payment receipt is sent via email at every renewal date via PayPal directly, as this customer utilized the third-party merchant as the funding source for her subscription. 

  
  When the customer contacted us requesting cancellation and a refund on March 18, 2024, via email, we informed her that we could not edit any transactions as she already filed direct disputes with PayPal prior to contacting our support team.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it does not offer a genuine experience utilizing our website, nor represent our available services. 

  
  To clarify, we offer our forms for FREE as blank templates without registering an account or entering any billing information. Every FREE form is available per compliance standards in Adobe PDF, ********* Word, or as an ODT file on that specific form's webpage on our site. Users can download our templates completely FREE and never have to register an account or enter any personal details or payment information.
  If a customer elects to utilize our form-filling software instead of downloading the FREE form, that service comes with a premium plan. All pricing options are listed in our Terms of Use, reiterated before checkout, and are displayed in full transparency on our pricing page. 

  
  Customers still have the ability to obtain their forms for FREE, even after utilizing our form-filling services, as our Monthly Subscription Plan comes with a no-obligation 7-day FREE Trial for NEW MEMBERS. Customers can use our premium plan software and download one (or every form on our website) completely free within the 7-Day Free Trial period. They will not be charged if they cancel during the trial. Though we offer the free trial with our Monthly Subscription plan, users have the ability to download our forms for FREE without registering an account or entering any personal information by downloading our free templates at any time. 
  Based on this complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau, we reviewed our database to see if this customer ever visited our website and/or if we had any prior communication via our customer support team. Based on the personal information provided by the complainant, we located a registered account in our system, though the user never communicated with our customer support team. 

  
  This user was not offered a FREE trial when saving his most recent Nevada Residential Lease Agreement on April 19, 2024, because he previously utilized our services. This customer originally registered an account in our system on December 7, 2022, and activated a Monthly Subscription Plan and the NEW MEMBER 7-Day Free Trial period to download a previous Residential Lease Agreement. The user immediately canceled the subscription following the successful download of his document (for Free) on December 7, 2022. As he canceled within the 7-Day Free Trial period, the account never incurred any charges. He received his form after utilizing our premium, form-filling wervices, completely FREE. 

  
  When the user logged in on April 19, 2024, and attempted to download a NEW Residential Lease Agreement after using our form-filling services again, he was presented with the checkout page to reactivate his subscription as he previously utilized our 7-Day Free Trial under the Monthly Subscription Plan in 2022.

  
  If the user does not wish to reactivate his subscription, he can download one of our FREE templates anytime. If he wishes to download the recently created form after using our premium form-filling services, he will be subject to reactivating a premium plan or downloading the document as a one-time purchase. 

  
  As the complaint is inaccurate and does not represent a genuine experience utilizing our website, we respectfully request that it be removed. Attached is a copy of the complainants account activity log and a copy of our FAQs showing how to download our templates for FREE.

  We are respectfully requesting that this complaint be removed per the customer's direct indication that they would remove it directly. 

  Our support team had to escalate this refund request to management at the time of the first communication with this customer (when the initial refund request was made) as there was no prior cancellation request made before the initial charge. This complaint was recorded within the 30-minutes from the time of the customer's original correspondence with our support agent and the time our Customer Support Manager replied to the escalated ticket, in which a courtesy refund was issued.

  The customer let us know that they processed the complaint after speaking with our agent, but would remove it once hearing from our Customer Support Manager after the escalation process. As this customer's account was already serviced and the initial charge was refunded within 30 minutes of the original refund request, we respectfully request that the complaint be removed. This complaint loaded to our profile after the refund was issued.

  Thank you

  On July 1, 2023 I downloaded a form, from the web based company eForm, on a 7-day free trial promotion. On the very day I downloaded the form I emailed the company and canceled the monthly subscription to eForm that would have begun after the seven day trial period. I received a message from eForm that said they received my request and would get back to me. As the promotion said I could cancel any time in the seven day period by email or phone, I assumed that I fulfilled my responsibility requesting the cancelation of the promotion. In February, 2024, I learned that I was being charged a monthly fee of $39 that had begun on July 10. I was charged $39 in the months of July, August, September, October, November, December, January, and February. In February I noticed for the fist time the eForm charge on my credit card. I then went back to previous month's statements and discovered all the above charges. I called and spoke with a representative who said he could only refund one month's fees due to strict company policy. He said that an email was sent to me prior to each charge on my credit card. I said that I had no record of such emails. I searched my junk message files and found the messages (I had never looked at my junk messages prior to this.) I said that it was unacceptable that he would only refund one month and he referred me to a manager. Via email the manager said he was breaking policy and refunded me for a total of 3 months fees. I told him that I had submitted a cancellation request on July 1 (I never returned to the eForms site after my initial use on the morning of July 1, 2023) and that I demanded all of my money be refunded. He said he had no evidence of my request and that he could not refund me the rest. I emailed again that I submitted the cancelation request but he did not respond to my further communication. My cancellation request number to the eForm company was time stamped July 1 at 1:28pm and the request number is *******.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it does not represent a genuine experience utilizing our services or interacting with our support staff.

   

  This customer registered an account under the email address ********************* to activate a Monthly Subscription Plan on July 1, 2023, at 3:32 PM EST (1:32 PM MST). This plan comes with a 7-Day Free Trial for new members, which was utilized to download a ******** Amendment to an LLC Operating Agreement. The terms of the subscription and free trial duration are listed in our Terms of Use and reiterated before the initial download when activating the subscription. Upon registering, we also provide cancelation instructions to the customer in their activation confirmation email. 

   

  Our system automatically emails a receipt notification of this charge following the trial and each month thereafter to the address on file. We accept cancellations via phone, live chat, email, or directly through the users dashboard. All customer activity and communication are timestamped for record-keeping, and we received no cancellation requests for this subscription until the customer contacted us via phone on February 12, 2024, at 4:09 PM EST (Ticket 1180494). 

  
  The customers claims that he contacted us to cancel on July 1, 2023, under Ticket *******, at 1:28 PM MST is FALSE. The customer did contact *********************** support via live chat under that ticket on July 1, 2023, at 1:28 PM MST, requesting a password reset. No cancellation request was made, as he activated his subscription that day at 1:32 PM MST (his timezone) AFTER the password was reset by our support team stemming from this ticket. This ticket was created before the customer activated his subscription plan. Our support team assisted him with resetting his password to access his account, and the customer proceeded to activate his subscription with the new login details provided by our support team following the service received. I attached a copy of Ticket ******* for record. The customer even rated our agent positively based on his support when resetting his password. 

  
  The claim that the customer had no record of our monthly payment renewal emails is also FALSE. He stated that he never received any emails and that they were sent to his quarantine folder, which he never checked prior to contacting us on February 12, 2024. Attached is the report of all account-related email deliveries for this customers account. It lists the timestamps of when each monthly renewal and payment confirmation email was delivered to this customer. It also shows that the customer opened renewal emails shortly after they were delivered, so the claim they were never seen is not factual. 

  
  Upon reaching out to our customer support team on February 12, 2024, our agent canceled the subscription immediately and processed one refund for the charge incurred within the most recent 30 days per our refund policy. Once escalated, our management team overrode our system and refunded two additional previous charges as a professional courtesy based on the inactivity on the account. This authorization covered 3X the eForms policy timeframe (normally 30 days), reversing the charges incurred within the most recent 90 days.

  
  As the customers claims in this complaint are not factual based on the supporting evidence included in this response and the fact that weve already refunded the account beyond our refund policy parameters, we respectfully request that this complaint be removed from our business profile.

  
  Thank you

  I am rejecting this response because:  I appreciate the clarification on the time stamp issue that it was about a password reset.  I could not tell on my end what the message said.  I assumed it was a cancelation.  I continue to dispute this because I never once went back to use the eForm service after my initial use on July 1.  I did not receive emails as stated because they went into my junk/quarantine folder as I said.  I find it ironic that all of those messages went there while all other e-mail communication came to me in my in-box.  How is this possible?  I only went to look in my junk folder after I saw on my credit card statement that I was being charged for this service.  You are forcing me to pay something that I obviously knew nothing about and had assumed I had canceled the service.  I find it incredibly bad business to charge me when I used the service once on trial and never returned.  Over $300 for one form?  Really?  If you need the money that badly, it's all yours.
  
  Sincerely,

  We understand the frustration this experience may have caused, though we have already done all we can do regarding the account. As with any subscription-based service, the subscription, once activated, will remain active until it is either canceled by the subscriber directly, or by the merchant per the subscriber's request.

  As we never received any prior communication to our support team requesting to cancel the subscription and there was no cancellation made directly through your dashboard, it automatically renewed each month per the agreed upon Terms of Use. These terms were reiterated during activation on the checkout page, and we did not receive a cancellation request until you contacted our support team on February 12, 2024.

  eForms, unfortunately, is not able to manage how emails are routed once delivered based on your personal email inbox's privacy settings, though all correspondence was confirmed as delivered, at the time of each renewal per our supporting evidence. Some of the renewal emails were actually opened. 

  Understanding the situation when you did contact us in February, our team refunded the account beyond our refund policy's timeframe by processing refunds for the charges incurred within the most recent 90 days. The recurring subscription charge grants you access to your completed form(s) and the ability to utilize our form-filling services on all of the forms in our database. We cannot be held responsible for the use, or lack of use of an active subscription.

  Complaint: 21476967
  
  I am rejecting this response because:  Policies are made to be changed when circumstances arise such as in my case.  I find it interesting that all of your email correspondence had no difficulty getting through to me.  That is, all emails except the ones that informed my of each monthly charge (those were sent to my quarantine folder).  Hum.  In any case, if a policy is found to be problematic, as in my case, I think it could be changed or at least modified.  In fact, a manager did modify the one month refund policy (which I was told was strictly enforced) and returned three months of the eight months I was charged.  So if you can modify or change that policy there is absolutely nothing keeping you from refunding all of these unreasonable charges.  You can rationalize it any way you wish.  The truth remains that this is a bogus situation.  I know it and you know it.  Either do the right thing and return my money or just keep it as you seem to need it more than I do.  If you decide you are going to stick to your "unwavering" policy, there's no need to rationalize it to me again.  I get it.  Thanks anyway.

  This customer registered an account under the email address **************** to activate a Monthly Subscription Plan on August 16, 2022, at 4:18 PM EST. This plan comes with a 7-Day Free Trial for new members, which was utilized to successfully download a ******** Residential Lease Agreement. The terms of the subscription and free trial duration are listed in our Terms of Use and reiterated prior to the initial download when activating the subscription. We also provide cancelation instructions to the customer in their activation confirmation email. This subscription was NOT canceled during the free trial period, and our customer support team processed a courtesy refund of the initial charge on September 21, 2022, as a one-time courtesy, when the customer reached out to our support team requesting to cancel in the first billing cycle.
  

   

  The account was signed into and used to reactivate the Monthly Subscription Plan on August 8, 2023, at 12:49 PM EST (one year later) to successfully download the ******** Residential Lease Agreement. As the customer reactivated her Monthly Subscription Plan to download her form, the account was billed at the time of reactivation on August 8, 2023. A renewal and payment confirmation email was sent at the time of reactivation and each month thereafter. We accept cancellations via phone, live chat, email, or directly through the users dashboard, and we received no cancellation requests until the customer contacted us on February 9, 2024, at 4:03 PM EST.   When the customer contacted us requesting a refund, our customer support team confirmed that the account would typically not be eligible for a refund due to a prior refund being issued in the past. The customer is aware that they were reactivating their Monthly Subscription Plan, not making a one-time purchase, as they activated the Monthly Subscription in the past, and previously received a refund due to a another lack of cancellation before renewal.

   

  Though ineligible, our support team issued an additional refund on February 9, 2024, for the customers most recent charge on the account. The denial of the additional refunds beyond the charges incurred within the most recent 30 days was based on the subscription being reactivated following a previous cancellation and refund. No cancellation attempts were made on the Monthly Subscription following the reactivation though a renewal and payment confirmation email had been delivered to the customer each month during the active subscription. 
  

   

  Our support team canceled the subscription on February 9, 2024, at 4:06 PM EST and processed the additional refund to the payment method on file though the account was ineligible per our Terms of Use. We asked the customer to allow 5-7 business days for the refund to appear back on their statement, and make note that if the charge was still listed as PENDING, it will void completely as the charge was issued on February 8, 2024, and the refund was issued on February 9, 2024.

If they did sent an email they probably sent it to that other email they swear its mine so only thing they did was probably notify whoever it is has that email and let them know that Im reporting the fraud.Sadly I cant dispute the transaction with my bank, being that its a bank from outside the US and they dont have this option, so I am disputing it with both PayPal and this service to see who can give me a solution. Im still waiting on a notification email of anything because they havent sent me no information to MY ACTUAL EMAIL, and not only that but Ill call again tomorrow to request legal contact information because if this is not solved soon, Ill have my lawyer reach out to their legal department, and from then on they can understand each other.Being this is the second time (different LLCs) that money is weirdly and randomly taken out of my account, I refuse to let this slide one more time.I blame Eforms for this fraud.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as it does not represent a genuine experience utilizing our services or interacting with our support staff.
  

  This customer registered an account under the email address ************************* (email address including the customers name) to activate a Monthly Subscription Plan on January 31, 2023, at 10:18 AM EST. This plan comes with a 7-Day Free Trial for new members, which was utilized to successfully download a Georgia Residential Lease Agreement, which included the customers personal information. The terms of the subscription and free trial duration are listed in our Terms of Use and reiterated prior to the initial download when activating the subscription. We also provide cancelation instructions to the customer in their activation confirmation email. This subscription was canceled during the free trial period, and no charges were processed to the account.

  A secondary account was registered and used to activate a NEW Monthly Subscription Plan and 7-Day Free Trial on January 09, ****, at 12:17 PM EST, under the email address ******************** (email address again including the customers name). This secondary account was used to successfully download ANOTHER Georgia Residential Lease Agreement. Both forms from each account list the customers personal information, and the residential lease agreements were created one year apart. The personal customer information on each form matches and is the same as the billing information for the customer on each account. 

  Per our Terms of Use, Free Trials are limited to one free trial per user. Though ineligible, the customer activated the second subscription, did not cancel within the 7-Day Free Trial period on that account, and was billed following the trial. As the secondary account was in violation of our Terms of Use, when the customer contacted us requesting a refund, our customer support team confirmed that the secondary account was not eligible. The denial was based on the violation of our Terms of Use after confirming all matching personal information listed in each account, on the documents, and with both accounts billing information. 

  This customer confirmed with our customer support staff (on a recorded line) that the secondary account email is hers, though she did not sign up, so her claims of not knowing the other email address is a false statement. The billed PayPal account is linked to the same email address as her initial eForms account, and the ** address used to register the second eForms account matches the personal information relating to this customer. 

  Our support team canceled the secondary subscription at period end, and the customer has access to all of our services until February 17, ****, at 12:17 PM EST. The subscription will not renew, and the account will not be billed again.

  As the statements in this complaint are not factual, we respectfully request that the complaint be removed.

  I spent a number of minutes filling out information that they claimed would allow me to receive a DPOA form, then it turned out I had to subscribe or pay them to get the form. I want notice that this is necessary, not something that makes me jump through hoops for no result.On top of that, they force you to cancel the account and I am not sure they remove your information. They might sell it.

  We are asking that this complaint be removed or resolved as the user is not aware of our services and how our business operates.

  We offer our forms for FREE as blank templates without registering an account or entering any billing information. Every FREE form is available per compliance standards in Adobe PDF, ********* Word, or an ODT file on that specific form's webpage. Based on the details of this complaint, it appears the customer elected to utilize our form-filling software, instead of downloading our free form template.

  If a customer elects to utilize our form-filling software instead of downloading the FREE form, that service comes with a premium plan. All pricing options are listed prior to checkout and on our pricing page. Customers still have the ability to obtain their form for FREE, even after utilizing our form-filling services, as our Monthly Subscription Plan comes with a no-obligation 7-day FREE Trial for new members.

  All timelines of the subscription and 7-day Free Trial are listed in our Terms of Use and on our Pricing page. They are reiterated prior to the initial download when entering their billing information at subscription activation. Once a subscription is activated, a confirmation email is sent with the subscription terms, the free trial duration, and a link with instructions on how to cancel. We also provide instructions on getting your form for FREE and canceling on our FAQ page. A renewal and payment confirmation email is also sent once the free trial period concludes.

  eForms does not sell any user personal information. For more information, website visitors can view our privacy policy at ********************************************** .

  This user registered an account today, January 12, ****, and saved a ******* *********** ***** of ********* The customer did not elect to download a FREE blank template, and elected to utilize our form-filling software (a premium plan option). Though he could have activated our Monthly Subscription Plan and received his form completely FREE, as long as the subscription was canceled within the new member 7-Day Free Trial period, he did not pursue. 

  After the creation and saving of his form, he contacted our Customer Support Team via email today, at 9:07 AM EST, requesting to cancel his account and remove his information from our system. We have since deleted his account, his **********************, and all information included at 10:39 AM EST, per his request.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me at one level.

  I still think they have not adequately explained and differentiated the free form and the form filling option. Even after visiting again, I do not see this either on 1) the search result promoted at ****** or 2) the landing page. I am done because they have assured me that they follow up well when asked to remove the account.
  
  Sincerely,

  We respectfully request that this complaint be removed as we have already serviced this customer's account.
  
  All customer communication and activity are time-stamped for quality assurance. This customer registered an account and used it to sign up for a Monthly Subscription Plan on December 1, 2023, at 10:41 AM EST. The customer was a new member, so the subscription came with a 7-Day Free Trial. All timelines of the subscription and 7-day Free Trial are listed in our Terms of Use and on our Pricing page. They are reiterated prior to the initial download when entering their billing information at subscription activation. We also provide instructions on getting your form for FREE and canceling on our FAQ page. The monthly subscription terms and 7-Day Free Trial duration are also emailed to new subscribers at the time of activation.
  
  Our records indicate there had yet to be a cancelation request from this account when the customer signed in and canceled (at period end) following the initial charge issued on December 9, 2023. The account was billed following the conclusion of the 7-Day Free Trial, as no prior cancellation requests were made. Our system allows cancellation via email, phone, live chat, or manually through the customer's dashboard.
   
  This customer emailed our Customer Support Team requesting a refund today, December 11, 2023, at 5:05 AM EST. As a courtesy, our support team canceled the subscription immediately and processed a $49.00 refund to the customer's credit card for the initial charge per the customer's request prior to this complaint being presented to us. 
  
  I can confirm that the subscription associated with ******************* has been canceled, and the account will not be billed again. We asked the customer to please allow 5-7 business days for the refund to appear on his statement, noting that if the charge is PENDING, it will most likely void completely. This cancellation and refund confirmation was emailed to the customer this morning, December 11, 2023, at 9:30 AM EST.
