Unauthorized charges
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 2 votes
Match.com - dating online service

I enrolled match.com for 3 months to give it a try, I started the subscription on 05/29/07.

On 8/27/09 they charged my account for an additional 3 months, this charge was unauthorized and there was no courtesy email to remind me of renewing my subscription. I find this very unprofessional, and who can tell me that they won't make any other unauthorized charges when they feel like it (seems this company has such power over my own checking account) -it's ridiculous. I requested immediate cancellation of my subscription on 09/03/07 (when I became aware of this), and I received an email that they have a "no refund policy". So basically they can take when they want and no be accountable??? Will appreciate someone's help on this.

Regards,
Eduardo Guerrero.

I recently encountered a similar problem with their sister company, Chemistry.com. I knew my account was coming up for renewal soon, and in order to pre-empt a possible automatic renewal, I cancelled my subscription. Six days later, my credit card was charged $160 for said cancelled service. I called to complain about this, as their mistake not only cost me the $160, it also caused my card to overdraft, which cost me another $40. The woman I spoke with told me that the company is not responsible for overdraft fees. I can understand this under normal circumstances, but considering it was their mistake that caused this, it is unacceptable that they don't take responsibility for erroneous actions and ensuing problems caused by such. Their mistake adversely affecting my credit score IS indeed going to become their problem. I let her know this was unacceptable, at which point she informed me that she was doing me a favor because she "didn't have to give a refund" because my account was allegedly "unresigned" after it was "resigned." Yet she offered no proof of this, and refused to give me the name of a supervisor. She gave me a P.O. Box address for the billing department, so I can send a letter. Apparently I'm "lucky" they're refunding money they were never authorized to take, yet I still have to deal with the financial ramifications of their faulty actions.

Match.com



Sirs,

I joined match.com in the autumn of 2002, after I temporarily relocated to Texas for my job. As I prepared to return to NY in December of that year I cancelled my account with match.com. I'm sure I received a 'confirmation cancellation number', but don't know what I did with it.

In early 2003, back in NY, I was perusing my Discover Credit Card statement and noticed a monthly deduction for match.com and immediately called you guys to again cancel. I was assured that, this time, I was definitely off the books. I don't have many opportunities to check my statements, as I'm away from home about 90% of the year.

Today I noticed that my statement again had a monthly deduction assigned to match.com in the amount of $26.60. I'm certain that I don't have to tell you that I was well beyond incensed. After two phone calls-one to your place in Dallas, where I spoke to a helpful girl named Denise and one to Discover card, I determined that this deduction has taken place each month for the past 5 years. That's over $2, 000!

Denise told me that there was no 'brick & mortar' address available for match.com where I could send a conventional letter of complaint. Email was the only form of communication that I could use. If you check your records you will see that I haven't accessed the match.com website in over 5 years, so I'm not trying to pull a fast one. Additionally, if I hadn't met a lady in that length of time, I'm sure I would've adopted a life of celibacy.

I assure you, sirs, that I will not rest until I've recouped every penny of the funds that were charged to my card. If it costs me $5, 000 in legal fees to get the $2, 000 back, I'll do it. Hopefully, this will get no uglier than it already is, but I just wanted you to be aware of my 'pit bull-like' resolve to get, what I call, justice in this matter.

Respectfully yours,

George Ganssle
