Clever Bridge refused to refund an unexpected automatic renewal for ~$5,500.00 in July 2023. My department does not use this software anymore and do not need the software. Clever Bridge customer service would not take a phone call and instead opted to do business via a series of very short and dishonest emails where in the developer of the software in question was blamed for the refund policy. This level of financial dishonesty has dramatically affected the project plan for our entire department for Q3 & Q4 of this year (2023). To add insult to injury, I was unable to locate a clear method to disable the automatic Clever Bridge renewal for next year (****) and instead opted to change the credit card number to one I could cancel. This, of course, created more work for me via the credit card company. Overall, this has been the worst experience of my career dealing with a payment processor.Business Response

I was charged $121.19 by Everbridge for an automatic renewal on software. Reference Number *********. I did not receive notice of the renewal in advance. The company offered the potential for a refund online. There is no way to contact them by phone. I have contacted them twice via their contact form and have not heard back from them. Their listed number goes into a recoding that does not enable support and directs customers to return to the website to use the contact form.Business Response

Cleverbridge charged my paypal account ***** for internet security. I previously in 2017 had security with Bullguard that went out of business .Since then I have not had any security.Clever bridge used that information to renew a security package that I did not buy. I spent over an hour with their customer service to refund money and all I got was being transfered to someone else with no results. The Norton security package has not been installed and has not taken affect yet so I don't understand why they just don't refund a charge that I have had no benefit *****. From reading other recent complaints, it seems that it is a tactic that cleverbridge uses to sell their product to customers that don't have any interest in getting .Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I never purchased this software. I have no record of this invoice nor amount paid. What form of payment was used?And regardless, what kind of normal business would not simply say ok and cancel the transaction. The fact you have a detailed refund process and argue the point clearly shows this is deceptive behavior.
I request a full refund.

Hi ******,
I'm sorry for any confusion but I believe I can explain.
I see that you have a yearly subscription to EaseUS All-In-One Bundle that automatically renewed on July 15, 2023. The original order was placed July 15, 2022 on a discount. Attached is the 2022 receipt. We try hard to make sure the renewal process is as clear as possible, so we take several steps to make sure customers know that they have signed up for a recurring subscription.
-Its stated in the shopping cart before you place your order.
-Theres a reminder shown on the last page of the checkout process, and customers have to confirm that they know theyre purchasing a subscription before they complete their order.
-When we send your order confirmation email, it states You are subscribed to a multiple payment product and lets you know when its going to renew.
-We give an option to cancel your automatic renewal in the delivery email we send right after you make your purchase.
We can see you have contacted our team today, July 16th and you will receive a reply shortly with next steps to assist you with a cancellation.Thank you!

Complaint: 20323331
I am rejecting this response because: *********** seems to be refusing to believe that I purchased the promotional 2 year package. From information you have already received, you can see that due to my error, the 2 year program was canceled. How can they cancel something they say did not exist? I'm still trading e-mails with them. They are now asking for proof I ordered the 2 year promotional program. I did order it on the last day it was available. They know for a fact that it is routine to offer a 2 year promotional program whenever an expiration date approaches. Additionally, I did send information they requested showing the purchase of CCleaner Android. It should have been free as part of the 2 year promotional package. I'm still awaiting a refund. I need to reply to their latest e-mail asking for proof of my purchase of the 2 year promotional package. They want me to send them proof of the offer. That's been gone ever since I accepted the 2 year package offer. They're running me in circles. Please help
Sincerely,
*********************** replying that I purchased the 2 year special program, and I was confused by ethe lack of a clearly identified 2 year program showing a 2 year inception and expiration date. Replies I've consistently received since then have been that customer service has been waiting for an update from their product team. These are 2 problems with simple fixes. I've been waiting unnecessarily since my original request for a license clarification and $8.50 refundBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: Cleverbridge did cancel the 1 year program I was mistakenly assigned. They did return my program cost in full. They did reinstate my old program which is scheduled to expire on September 10. I did receive a return of $8.50 for the incorrectly charged fee for CCleaner Android.The Cleverbridge e-mail I received said that CCleaner.com personnel would have to research the possibility of an offer to me of a promotional 2 year program - the one which I originally intended to purchase.
I am currently without, and expect to remain without the 2 year promotional program which was offered to me for a number of weeks (the offer had it's last day on June 27, the day I attempted to purchase it.) The promotional information disappeared upon the expiration of the offer. My unintended purchase of a 1 year program did not acknowledge or reference the promotional program. No information regarding the 2 year promotional offer is available to me at his time.
Clearly, if the 2 year promotional offer had been a scam, I would have been in a heap of trouble right now. But that's not what happened. In my opinion, CCleaner.com personnel had to have been aware of the offer. I'm really confused as to why they refuse to acknowledge it's existence.
So, my complaint is with CCleaner.com. I feel I was a victim of false advertising.

I received notice from my bank account that I was overdrawn for this charge and they are saying I subscribed, but the 1 year option, I purchased like 3 years ago, said nothing about a subscription. I've seen multiple people complain about this, I just want my money back and to show my bank it was a scam charge for refund of the overcharge on the account. I attached a screenshot of the email and reference number they sent me, trying to get in contact with them, haven't heard anything back yet.Business Response

Dear team,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the recent customer complaint and subsequent account blockage that we have been addressing with the manufacturer.
Initially, the manufacturer blocked the customer's account in response to ******************** claim of fraud and his initiation of a chargeback for his recent purchase of the Nexus4 XP: Drill. It's important to note that **************** requested a chargeback through his credit card provider rather than a refund. .
After engaging in several discussions with the manufacturer, we are pleased to inform you that the manufacturer confirmed today that the customer's account has been re-enabled. Consequently, **************** should now have full access to all of his purchased products once again.
In light of this positive development, we have reached out to **************** to communicate the reactivation of his account. I have attached a copy of the correspondence for your reference.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.
Our primary goal is to ensure a seamless and satisfactory experience for our customers.
If there is anything else we can do to assist you or if you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in resolving this matter. We appreciate your support.
