AVG Technologies Voortdurende maningen

Ik betaalde op 16/12 maar blijf, om de twee dagen een aanmaning ontvangen om te betalen. AVG India wou helpen maar dan moet ik een copie van iets zenden en 'k versta het niet. Met 86 lentes wordt alles er niet gemakkelijker op ! KLACHT IS NU WEER TE KORT : ik zal dus nogmaals herhalen dat ik bestelde en betaalde op 16/12 en dat, om de 2 dagen, ik uitgenodigd wordt om te betalen. 't Is, alles bij mekaar een frustrerende boel. En met deze hoop ik dat er genoeg letters in de klacht zitten.

Wat is dat nu weer voor een verdraaide boel. De tekst is gewoonweg onverstaanbaar geworden. Ik bestelde in 't Vlaams maar verder dat dàt blijkt de kennis door AVG van het Nederlands niet te reiken. En nu ben ik benieuwd of mijn antwoord lang genoeg is. Domme, foute boel is het en méér niet.

This charge showed up on my company credit card on September 9, 2021 for $69.99. This is my personal card with only my name authorized to use this card. I use my card for ordering office supplies. I did not make this charge and I have no further information regarding the charge because I didn't make the charge and know nothing about what you do. I always get emails to confirm what I have placed orders for. No email came to me from this company and I have not made this charge or any future charges that you may try to make on my card. Please credit my card for the charges as soon as possible as I just caught the error.

Thank you for assisting me in resolving this matter.

AVG Technologies Unsure!

Recently charged £79.99 without my knowledge. Agreement made to refund me. No contact since! Request/case number [protected]. AVG is avoiding giving back monies. This is an appalling way to do business! I feel scammed. The money was taken without a request. No one seems to be able to help! Then this website tells me to keep writing for someone to take notice! What the hell!

Desired outcome: Refunded as agreed.

Unauthorized charges. Attempted a refund. They said no because of services rendered. What services?! I never ordered, used or shopped for their product. I was not even familiar with the company until seeing the random charges on my credit card. Two separate charges! Apparently this is an anti virus program. I do not own a computer. Mysteriously, when I called and requested a refund for the 3rd time, we were disconnected. If this is a honest mistake on their part, then a refund should be given immediately. My question is how did they get my credit card number? Something is shady!

Desired outcome: I want a refund!

AVG Technologies Unauthorized credit card charges

I received this answer to my complaint regarding the unauthorized charge on my card. This solution is unacceptable to me.

I'm happy to hear from you again. Please accept my apologies for the delay.

I understand that you received the e-mail that informs you that your card probably expired. Let me explain the situation, American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Discover all offer services that help merchants keep their customers' credit card information current. These services provide merchants with updated information for customers whose accounts have new credit card numbers or updated expiration dates.

AVG products are sold as subscriptions and remain valid until you cancel them. We try to be clear about this both before and after your purchase, and we explain how to cancel subscriptions in the notification sent 30 and 15 days prior to the order being placed to let you know in advance that this payment was due.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way, and I understand your frustration. As a result, I am unable to process a refund, as the refund was requested after the 30 day refund period grace period.

I am bound by our 30-day refund policy, which you may view on page: AVG Refund Policy

Thank you for your understanding.

I wish you a lovely day!

Best regards,

Martin Slezák

AVG Technologies Unauthorized credit card debit

On 6 Aug 2021 we had an amount of R829 deducted from our bank account, but have NEVER had anyone informing or requesting authorization from us. When I accessed my account online, your system shows the last historical entry to have occurred in Aug 2018 for R699. There is no transaction for the R829 deducted from our account. We have also requested the bank to investigate but have not heard anything thus far.

I attach a copy of the bank transaction to which I refer.

AVG Technologies Antivrus renewnal

Received reminder and invoice within 24hrs. Don't want product. Told have to wait 7 - 10 business days for refund.
Asked why as this is an unauthorised transaction.
Requested to make a complaint asked for operative to read back complaint as per complaint proceedure in every business. Informed the operative that this will be in the script as I have trained call centre operatives. As a result she put phone down. There is no need for me to wait for a refund they can reverse the transaction. This is blatant money grabbing. I don't want the product as there is no middle way. Either one computer cover or 10. I have been fleeced of £74.99 without the opportunity to cancel.
I attempted to do so but the site would not allow me to do so unless I provided information that it refused to recognise. I'm expected to give notice but they completed the entire transaction in 12 hrs of the reminder.
This is unfair business practice. The only recourse is to contact my bank if the money is not returned and identify it as an unauthorised transaction.

Desired outcome: Refund same day via transaction reversal. Interest paid on any time from today and a formal apology. Appropriate sanctions made re the business practice.

AVG Technologies Unauthorised purchases - been hacked by you!!

Hi,

I am no loner a user of the 'Freeware' AVG for a while now... As you may check, my username is: Cinzia Mintoff. I have uninstalled the software for a while now. The thing I have bought was around 24 euro some years ago, with my other visa card.
As from last week, I noticed that I have an unauthorised purchase of 90.61 euros on the 24th May and 90.54 euros on the 29th May. Which it is clearly a hack! since I have never authorised such payments, in both days of the same week that I have not logged into my pc and I do not use your freeware or software anymore!
I Request my money back and stop stealing or I will take legal actions immediately!
