Fair warning that you do not send membership funds to My Heritage. It's a scam/a rip off. Stay away from them.

Illegal charge to credit card
Rosemary Parsons On August 25, 2020, I had a charge on my Citi card from
BLS*MYHERITAGELTD, phone number [protected], in the amount 0f $89.00. Found this when I started doing my tax return for 2020. I did not use this service and would like a refund. Thank you, Rosemary [protected]
Desired outcome: Refund Please
didn't agree to this its unethical behaviour
You came in and took £113.99 out of my account which I never agreed to
and you never even let me know or gave a reminder that you were going
to take it off . I wish a refund back on to my card . By taking of that money
thanks to you some of my bills might not get paid. The money came out on the 26th of Feb even if you sign up for a trial you still need to give a reminder that your trial is coming to an end which obviously you didn't do or i would have gone in and cancelled.
Yours sincerely
Karen Cassidy
Desired outcome: A full refund
Subscription
This company deducted a yearly membership out of my bank when I cancelled it a year ago.
I have been on hold to speak to someone for over an hour and haven't moved in the line from number 7 in the entire hour. I don't believe there is an actual customer service line.
I just would like a refund.
Desired outcome: Membership refunded
Unable to Reach Customer Service
Today is Thursday, February 4th, 2021. I have been trying unsuccessfully to reach My Heritage by phone since Monday, February 1st, 2021 regarding a duplicate My Heritage account that I no longer have access to as I am no longer a Cox Communications subscriber. I have waited on hold for upwards of an hour only to be disconnected as I was the next person in line to be spoken to. As I write this, I am on my 8th call to My Heritage and waiting for someone to answer so I can get this resolved. I've also left two voicemails and no one has bothered to return my call. In fact, I am having to go through sales to get this resolved since I don't have a paid My Heritage account. This is unacceptable for having an alleged 24/7 support center. This is the 21st century after all.
Desired outcome: I would like someone to respond to my voicemails so I can get this issue resolved.
I was finally able to get through to an agent after 8 calls and waiting on hold for an hour.
Missing 10,000 family tree members and pictures
After down loading my family tree data update my tree builder in my computer and lost pictures and data from my tree on the web. My web tree had about 60, 900 members and lost approx. 10, 000 members of my web tree. I reported the incident the 22nd of January 2021, incident number: "[protected], Lost tree information". Today is the 1st of February and still they have not gave me a answer. Sent them diferen. t follow up messages they do not answer me with a answer. What is happening? I called them I was on hold, and they while waiting ask me if I wanted to leave my name and phone number and they will get back to me, because I was number 18 on line.
That was the 29th of February and I'm still waiting for them to call me. Why they don't answer? No help, no status, no answer!

I am having the same problems reaching MyHeritage. Two voicemails later, and they still haven't returned my calls.

Please be advised we are receiving a much higher volume of inquires than usual at present, so indeed, it can regrettably take some time. We are making every effort to assist all of our members during this busy time. As previously advised, please wait patiently and a technical support specialist will reach out to you in due time.

Charged me £56 and I do not know what I received for it.
I have never heard of a company that I cannot email for a complaint-this is definitely unethical. I have tried your old and new phone numbers (all of them state that the numbers are unavailable.) I was a techy in my previous job and the combination of numbers I used were various access codes all with the same results. Your help guidance is very poor: if I could have had someone to speak to my problem would be resolved straight away.
I find I have limited access without paying more money so I am requesting a full refund as the manual family tree that I have created gives me 90% of the information My Heritage gives me.
Extremely poor system.
Desired outcome: call me on my mobile number or email...both of which you have on record
Dear Graham,
I am sorry to hear you had trouble reaching phone support. Phone support is available and I would be happy to pass along your issue for investigation.

myheritage dna ethnicity estimates
I recently (Dec 2020) submitted 2 samples of dna to my heritage. 1 for me and 1 for my birth mother. The results confirmed a 49.7% match between the two samples ie the two samples were of a mother and a son.
However my mother's dna ethnicity was estimated to be 64% English. I was estimated to have 0% English. How can that be?
Furthermore, My heritage don't even allow me to contact them to discuss these dna estimates because I am not a "premium customer".
Peter UK.
Desired outcome: myheritage should redo the dna ethnicity estimates

Renewal
My Heritage sent me an email saying I needed to update my credit card info or risk having my account closed. None of their links to update the credit card info work. I've left 3 messages on their voice mail to no avail. I want to keep my account, but this company seems to be really messed up from a customer service perspective. I just want someone to call me and take my updated info over the phone.

Charging after cancelled 14 day free trial
Account [protected]
I have had an account since August 2020, which expires in August 2021. I mistakenly took out the 14 day free trial on December 28th 2020, as I had thought my August registration had been for 3 months. Realising I already had a whole year subscription, l cancelled the 14 day free trial today, exactly 14 days after taking it out. However, I see that you have debited my Paypal account for £65.40 today, for a year's subscription, following the free trial. I do NOT need two lots of subscriptions. Please refund the £65.40 taken from me today.
Joy Williamson
Desired outcome: A refund of £65.40
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Unable to contact to cancel and get refund!
How can a legitimate company be impossible to call? I have called and called the only number available: 877-432-3135... What? No one can contact this company? The internet is full of complaints about this scam!
Cannot contact this company directly. Their phone number is no good!
I want a refund and a permanent cancellation! Please help!
Desired outcome: REFUND and CANCELLATION

There are no email details to contact My Heritage just phone numbers. I have cancelled the next subscription but request a full refund as I had no opportunity to cancel - Account ID: [protected]
Thank you

No service for payment
MyHeritage collected my recurring payment ($209) for yearly membership on December 26th. I logged in January 1st and found out my membership was expired. There was nothing of the family tree work and research I had done over the years, and no indication it could be retrieved. I tried calling their customer service line [protected] US), but once I...

No customer service by phone on published 1-800 number
Spent an hour dialling the published my heritage customer support phone number which advised me to check their new customer care contact phone no. By checking back on their website. This led to a circular rabbit hole - website, nothing, phone, nothing etc. Half an hour wasted...
Then tried instant messenger for "help"... The helper chris y6a is either a total jerk or a robot. I asked 3 times for the customer care new phone # & each time was directed by "chris" to a my heritage on-line form to sign up & pay for ongoing monthly tech support.,!
I do not need this, I simply want to speak to a human being at customer support usa. On the never to be found customer care number.
Us this 21st century american customer service or what? After an hour of being driven mad I have totally given up. Susannah
Unbelievable, dreadful customer care...
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
