AVG Technologies Billed for 2 computer services not used

I checked my Credit card details and saw that I had been charged for

2 subscriptions . I contacted AVG , and requested that they refund and cancel 1, They advised that because it was over 30 days they would not refund , that it was an auto renewal. I explained to them I only have 1 computer . I asked repeatable for the invoices for the last 5 year and the contact details to lodge a complaint and they would not provide either . The customer service then went on to cancel all my subscriptions . I have copied the communication with the customer service

I understand that you didn't authorize the payment, no worries, I'll be more than willing to assist you with your concern. Could you please provide me the order number? I have not heard from you for a few minutes. Would you like me to keep this chat session open for you?

I am not sure what the order number was as I did not authorise it I didn't order it .May I know your email?

[protected]@bigpond.com

Kindly give me at least one minute or two, let me just check your account. Just stay on the line please. Thank you so much for patiently waiting Anita.

Sorry about spelling , i am extremely upset , wondering how I am going to pay my bill. for something I didn't even use.

I'm sorry to say that your not eligible for refund, because we have our 30 days refund policy.

Yes you have told me that . Please send me the last 5 years invoices . I will take it to consumer affairs and take it through that avenue

You purchased the subscription last Jul 31, 2022.I want the last 5 yaers invoices . You have obviously been charging me 2 lots

You purchase the subscription with automatically billed.

Please stop repeating this I have requested the last 5 years invoices . I want my credit card details taken off your system . I do not want to pay for 2 computer tune up , and 2 Security system . I HAVE ! COMPUTER . . I do not want you auto billing me for services no required .

I will do here is I will cancel your subscription.

I also have requested my invoices for the last 5 years . please send these .

We don't have the invoice for the last 5 years.

Please forward me the details of who to contact with complaints

I'm done cancel your subscription

again if you wish to repeat your last comment I will repeat my last request as well, please forward me details for who I can send complaints to.

AVG Technologies AVG

I am requesting a full refund in the amount of $ 104.99 which you charged to my visa without my authorization. I joined AVG on January 29, 2021 for one year. You debited my account on January 17, 2022 - exactly 12 days before the full year was up. In 2021 before I agreed to take AVG I asked if it would be automatically renewed because if that was your practice I would not have taken it. I was assured you would not automatically renew my agreement. Please respond as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Mary Fitzgerald
