jag har inte godkänt att ni kan draga pengar från mitt konto
2021-11-08 drog ni 3649kr utan min tillåtelse hur kan man göra detta ?

Today December 9th I get an alert from my bank telling me a large sum has been deducted. I just paid for some paint from a lady I know and that was still pending and I buy from her all the time yet this company was able to swoop in take $129 and they still have it they still have that money . They have not refunded it or anything. Even after approving I did not have an account with them over the phone, they have to investigate IP addresses etc. and when they were on the phone with me and they asked me information they said well it looks like you don't have an account with us . if I don't have an account with y'all then that should be reason enough to give me my money back right now I have to fill out a dispute with my bank.

I have noticed that you took £5.60 out of my account on November 1st.

Before I go further, I am contacting my bank and reversing this charge. MyHeritage sold me a product that I paid for and when I called to inquire about this product, and why it does not show in my profile, the answering system says phone support is only for paid subscriptions only and refers you to the online support which does not answer my question at all. I had to go to a random question, say it was not helpful to even get the phone number or to send an email (get a ticket). I called Sales and left a message thinking they could explain what they sold to me and I called the number listed in my bank account and it lead me to MyHeritage Cancellations. Well, since I can't cancel a free subscription, and I can't get phone support via customer service (and I am technically a customer because I paid for a service) I am filing this complaint. I simply wanted someone to explain the $30.67 withdrawn from my bank account on November 30th. Since, according to MyHeritage, I am not a paid subscriber.

I signed up for a years subscription with MyHeritage this was due to end in November this year, I now find that they have automatically taken a second years subscription of £136.08 they emailed me to inform me that they were going to renew it so I went to their site immediately and told them I did not want to renew, I had no idea they had put an auto renew on my account and now they are refusing to give me the money back. What do I do now?

MyHeritage charged my Paypal account $299.00 out of the blue. I received no invoice, bill, or email communication stating that I would be charged. Additionally, I have no idea what this charge provides. I've filed a complaint with Paypal and I suggest no one subscribe to this service.

i check my account this heritage company took $96.90 dollars from my account with out or how they did..i have just a email.from them thanking them from making a heritage free account i never ask for...Hi Javier,

This is a courtesy reminder of the free family site that we created for you.

Kind regards,

On 11/23/21 I purchased a site premium plan for $75.65 invoice id [protected]. On 11/28/21 I was charged twice for an additional $129 billing agreement id B-570523896D8895035 and B-6GC83461VH582140X I am assuming for the premium site plan and then the data plan. All three charges are from my Paypal account. MyHeritage id is [protected], my name is Tammy Covlasky. My Paypal account email is [protected]@outlook.com. After speaking with customer support last night, I am now in agreement that I need the data plan, however, I need to have the extra $129 charge refund immediately. I have been charged a total of $333.65. Also, under my purchases it doesn't indicate what has been charged only that I have 2 subscriptions; a site plan and a data plan. This needs to be resolved in a very timely manner or I will be cancelling and demanding a full refund for the entire amount and lose my family tree that I have been working so hard on. Please do the right thing and refund the extra $129. I agree only to pay the $75.65 +$129 for a total of $204.65.

Since I did not get an explanation from MyHeritage for the misappropriation of my money for over three months, I will be forced to post the following warnings on social networks:

I caution MyHeritage users not to make subscription payments through the banking procedure provided by the MyHeritage website. I made this payment to MyHeritage three months ago, as confirmed by my bank's vetting process. My requests submitted to the portal do not work, my tree was blocked claiming they had not received the payment, so a sum of US $ 145 was stolen from me.

Mrs Isabelle,
MyHeritage

For about three months now, you have cleared up the misappropriation of my money, which I transferred through the bank according to your instructions. Both me and my family members suffered a significant loss due to the long, unjustified blockade of the use of the common family tree.
I am submitting a formal application for explanatory banking proceedings. Should MyHeritage continue to fail to respond, we will, as numerous family members, warn on online forums that there is a risk of money forfeiture when making a payment to MyHeritage.

Regards,

Bohdan Wasilewski

Dear Isabelle,
MyHeritage

Is there still no feedback from Bluesnap or can I ask again if I should also
intervene through my bank?

Dear Eduardo,

As you suggested, I contacted my BNP PARIBAS bank and confirmed that the transfer was made and sought at the destination bank. Please find attached the confirmation of the successful transfer, received from the bank and the confirmation of the deduction of the transfer amount from my account.
As MyHeritage did not receive the transfer, it seems that BLUESNAP INC, who brokers the transaction, stopped it.
A request to check the transfer details to clarify the situation. Should this be impossible, BNP PARIBAS will initiate an interbank transfer complaint.

Regards,

Bohdan Wasilewski

Dear Bohdan,

Thank you for contacting us. My name is Eduardo, and I'd be happy to assist you.

I am really sorry that this happened and I'll do my best to clarify the situation.

I understand that you are wondering why you didn't receive a notification that the payment didn't hit My Heritage for the subscription that was active on the account. Upon checking your account details, I noticed that back on 07/28/2021 an email with the subject Update Your Payment Details On The My Heritage Website, was sent to you as an advise that the payment for the subscription didn't go through and since there was no update of the information this was the reason the subscription was dropped off automatically. I understand that you meant to continue with the subscription and the payment was done and As compensation for this misunderstanding, I've added a free Complete subscription of 1 month to your account. Remember that the Complete subscription is a combination of a Data subscription and a PremiumPlus site subscription. It will allow you to add an unlimited number of individuals to your family website, use tools such as Smart Matches and Instant Discoveries, and access all the featured tools (shared ethnicities, ancestral surnames, family trees) when researching your DNA matches. It will also give you full access to our SuperSearch genealogy search engine, which contains billions of records from thousands of collections. With this subscription, you will also be able to use Record Matches and Record Detective and add family tree profiles to your tree from historical records.

If you would like to continue with the membership, I would suggest to get in touch with your bank and confirm what is the status of the Bank Transfer because it appears that this didn't go through on our end.

If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact me again.

Kind regards,
Eduardo

Dear Sirs,

Please explain why I did not receive the confirmation of receipt of my payment on 07/29/2021 by bank transfer
according to your order number [protected], and why my website ID [protected] was blocked.

Kind regards,

Bohdan Wasilewski

I have tried to transfer ownership of my Mother's DNA profile over to her and followed the instructions sent by Estuardo of My Heritage, not once but TWICE, still saying he has not received the emails sent from me and that my sent email was from my MOTHER's account?! I have now sent this third email for the exact same instruction from MY email address. Support Tickets #[protected] and #[protected] refer.

I received an email from MyHeritage.com informing that £226.80 was taken from my paypal account.

I am incredibly annoyed that I was not informed prior to taking the money from my account, as I was not aware that my subscription was still active.

I immediately cancelled the subscription and sent an email to MyHeritage.com to complain that I did not want the subscription and I wanted a full refund.

Just had a phonecall that said that they couldnt refund as I had not cancelled the subscription in time. This is *really* bad business practise and I refuse to ever use myheritage again

Sent email complaint on 10/29/21 after PayPal account automatically charged for subscription. I only used the service a few times during the one-month trial and it seems that the one-month period is not yet complete as of 10/29/21. Email support # [protected], name Robert G. Burns, MC ending in 9334. Please refund the $96.57 immediately. I did not know anything was charged until PayPal notified me on 10/29/21 by email and was shocked that I was not notified in advance that my trial period was coming to an end.

I can't enter the picture that I want be printed, when I call the company all I get is a recording telling about their product, I need to be able to talk to a person NOT a recording I have tried many ways, none of them worked

Myheritage charged my credit card without my authorization on 10/24/2021 for $299. Account ID [protected]. I only have a basic plan, and did not upgrade.
My email is [protected]@netzero.net
my phone number is [protected]

I signed up for a free trial in September 2021. I deleted the account the same day. My PayPal account was charged today, October 12, 2021 for $94.34. I don't even know what that amount is for - a month? A year? The account doesn't exist anymore, so I can't even get into the website to try and do something about it there. There has been no email or other type of communication from the website, to warn of an upcoming charge. I want a complete refund ASAP.

I have been trying to speak to someone via phone and email for days and no one is getting back to me and I am starting to feel Like I have been scammed.
I had a free trials of the My Heritage website and cancelled almost immediately as it was no good for me, but they took an annual subscription fee out my account.
I recieved no emails whatsoever up until then and I then received my very 1st one which was the receipt.

To whom it may concern,

I have been charged $94.56 on my bank account. I did not authorize this charge...also and over draft fee of $35.00. I have reported this as fraud. My bank will dispute this charge as well. I want this reimbursed ASAP. The number on the bank charge is S588170828518360. I did not make this charge. Please remedy this immediately. My phone is [[protected]]. Please contact me as soon as you can.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,
Brendan Zammuto

Dear Sir/Madam,
a couple of weeks ago I ordered a MYHeritage DNA kit for my wife. Delivery was speedy, activating the kit and taking the DNA sample without problems. And off it went to your lab in Texas. The results took a while to come, but now they have arrived.
The outcome, however, has left my wife thoroughly confused. And I for myself think that this ethnicity distribution asks for an explanation. Why? Well, let me explain:
1. My wife has a twin sister who, too, has had her DNA tested. Her DNA results show the following:
78% Welsh
12% English and North Western European
7% Scottish
3% Eastern European & Russian

2. My wife's results as extracted from her DNA sample by your lab show the following:
81, 3% Irish, Scottish and Welsh
8, 5% Eastern Euopean
5, 7% Finnish
2, 6% Scandinavian
1, 9% English

These are some quite significant discrepancies, to say the least.

3. Moreover, my wife's great grandfather originally came from Split, in today‘s Croatia. He emigrated to Britain, where he married.
Logically (Biologically) one would assume that there should be at least traces of his Southern European origin to be found in the twin sisters‘ DNA.
My wife and her twin sister would appreciate it, if you could shed some light on these rather strange findings because presently they are close to believing that this whole DNA business is a scam.
Yours sincerly,
Guenther Ihrenberger
