MyHeritage

We received out DNA kit as a Christmas gift. One of the kits did not have swabs. Trying to contact customer service to speak with a Representative is almost impossible. I went thru the section where I could type my issue, the person contacted me to a website where I was to pay $1.00 to get my answer, then the website came up and said I was paying $36.00 for my answer. I then X out of it. When I tried to call My Heritage again I kept getting cut off. Still have not spoken to anyone about this issue.

Tenez vous loin et ne leur donnez aucune info (crédit, paypal) car ils font des prélèvements d’abonnement sans autorisation. C’est une pratique abusive qui semble durer depuis quelques années malgré les plaintes formulées ils continuent d’arnaquer les gens! Lundi le 8 mars je me suis rendue compte qu’ils ont prélevé 447$ dans mon compte bancaire par le biais de paypal. Ils ont eu mes infos quand j’ai souscrit à 2 semaines d’essai gratuit l’an passé. Car ils vont demandent vos infos pour un essai gratuit. En vérifiant mon compte paypal je me rends compte que l’an passé après le 2 semaines gratuit ils ont prelevé 229$ pour m’abonner sans que je m’en rende compte. Bien entendu, il est trop tard pour l’an passé car je n’ai rien vu, mais cette année je m’en suis apperçu quand ils ont prelevé le double sans autorisation de ma part. Et quand vous leur demandez un remboursement, ils se contentent de vous envoyer un message automatisé. Je m’attends d’ailleurs à ce qu’ils publient suite à ce message leur même message automatisé qu’ils publient sous toutes les plaintes. Et l’arnaque continue… je vais envoyer une plainte à l’émission La facture à la télé afin que les gens soient informés de leurs pratiques.

MyHeritage has the most frustrating policy of forcing subscribers to accept auto renewal on their membership. They never send a reminder email that subscription renewal is imminent. I was charged $315 on 5 March 2022. I contacted Customer service requesting cancellation & refund and received a support ticket dated the same day. Someone from MyHeritage finally contacted me today. All she could do was offer 50% refund and an additional 6 months free. I'll be opening a PayPal dispute for a full refund.

An unauthorized charge was charged to my account from myheritage. I want my money refunded. I was charged $324.42 and it needs to be refunded immediately. I have since then changed my pw and never gave consent for this charge. When I went online and called, each time asked for my account number. I do not have an account number because I never authorized this charge. I will be notifying BBB and my bank of these unauthorized charges. disgraceful that you handle business this way.

Today I was charged 400$ for a subscription that was apparently made a year ago that I initially paid not over 200$ for. The lady that dealt with me said that if I do not get results with MyHeritage I could call anytime for a refund. This website is yet to even find one member of my Heritage even though I was told it “definitely would find my family” due to my locations and the “database”. I feel as though I was scammed by this company and given an initial cheap deal as a money grab. Now 400$ more is taken without any email notices or anything. This is extremely unfortunate and mishandled.

I just found out My heritage have charged me £226 for a renewal I don't want on 4 March 2022. Apparently somewhere hidden away is a request to automatically charge my account each year that I wasn't aware of. This is very sharp practice. I phoned the company twice on 4 March and was told I would have to be called back to resolve the issue. No one has contacted me. Perhaps someone from My heritage will read this and reach out to resolve this for me.? I just want my money back.

At about 5 p.m., on March 4, I inadvertently accessed several restricted MyHeritage Web pages. I did so by opening my MyHeritage Web site, clicking on Account Settings, and then clicking on Family Tree. The family tree that was displayed belonged to the M…..- Gr.. n family. From there I was able to navigate anywhere I wanted within their Web site. The second time I did this, the …..-Fr.. d family tree was displayed. None of these people are related to me and I have no connection with them.

This is a serious breach of MyHeritage members' privacy and would not have happened with proper security measures enforced.

I did not authorize payment to you for $315. According to my account, I am a free member. My name is Steven Neice.

I took out a free 14 day trial with My Heritage on 8 February but decided it was not for me so cancelled the trial on 20 February. I then received an email from Paypal advising that a payment for My Heritage would be taken from my account on 25 February. I checked the account and cancelled the trial again on 22 February and asked My Heritage to confirm that they would not be deducting the payment on 25th.I

received an email to say that 'Your account had a Complete subscription that started on February 8, 2022, and that subscription was successfully cancelled on February 22, 2022.

There is currently no recurring annual subscription associated with your account, and therefore no further action is necessary. '

However, I have checked my Paypal account today (25th) and £114.50 has been deducted!

I don't want the service, I cancelled the free trial within the 14 days abd should not have been charged. Name is Joan Murphy, account number is [protected]

My son Hamish McLean has tried to log on for his DNA results..

Has not been successful.

Appreciate if someone could assist in tracing my son's results.

I ordered a dna test. My wife ordered one from same company two years ago and it was fun so I thought i'd do it too. I did not ask for any premium service, I never asked for so much as a free trial to anything at all. I only paid for the dna results. I was just charged 162.78 for some premium junk that I did not want, have not wanted, and have not come close to using. I am still just waiting on my dna results. I have emailed their customer support twice now over the last week and a half and have only received an automatic ticket # and no other response. I want a refund for this premium junk that I do not want and did not ask for.

I’ve ordered two different kits one during the holiday so I assumed that it’s taking 13 weeks for me to get my results was because of the holiday fast forward to January I sent in another kit and I have yet to receive my results they will not respond to my emails they are very disrespectful on the phone once they get your money they disregard everything about you as a valued customer

I have been checking my account for membership details & find that a payment for my membership was taken as authorised on 08 March 2021 for £56.40 for my premium membership. I checked this as my membership is due to renew in a few weeks.

To my horror I found that bls*myheritage ltd had taken an unauthorised payment from my account on 12 April 2021 with the reference [protected].

I have no idea what this was for & I obviously overlooked it due to having taken out membership a little before this. I simply want my money back & an explanation of what you were up to.

Can someone get back to me with instructions on what to do regarding the failed delivery attempt?

I sent the samples from Latvia to Germany as instructed. And the mail tracker has stopped working with the last message citing that the delivery has been unsuccessful. The sample has been lost just before reaching MyHeritage. Nobody from MyHeritage is answering me.

This is quite unsettling.

I cancelled my subscription with My Heritage over 2 yeasr ago. I have basic free access at resent.

They attempted to take £229.00 from my debit card account via Paypal, my bank raised it as a suspicious transaction and withheld it till they spoke with me. I advised them that i had cancelled that subscription over 2 years ago so the payment wasnt paid. My Heritage was blocked on that accunt.

On checking my credit card account today they have taken it form my credit card account and now i ave to raise a dispute and this could take 12 weeks to resolve.

I find this dishonest that due to one account blocking them access they have taken form another account which they obviously had details of. I asked My Heritage to take my bank deails off their system 2 years ago.

This has left me in some financial difficulty and caused me distress

I want them to return my money onto my credit card account and to remove ALL my back details from their system with a letter acknoleging that they have done this.

Most companies give notice that a payment will be taken 'within the next couple of days' - MyHeritage does not do that, it just issues a notice that the money has already been taken - £226 - for a subscription that I forgot to cancel because I only used the service once for DNA testing. The charge went through PayPal. I then cancelled the future subscription (but was too late to cancel the £226 payment of course). On contacting MyHeritage (within a few hours of receiving their payment notification) about this matter, to request a full refund, I was advised that my account couldn't be found because I had deleted it, but they requested via email that I provide info, i.e. paypal transaction ID for the payment, which I did by return.

My bank cancelled any future subscription renewal with MyHeritage via Paypal, and blocked the payment.

I have heard nothing at all from them since, not even a confirmation that they received my email and info. PayPal are now asking me to pay them £207 because they paid the subscription on my behalf (as they could not get it from my bank account).

MyHeritage policy states that refunds will be given within 30 days of renewal - I am still well within that time limit. I simply require a full refund of £226 to my Paypal account and confirmation that any future subscriptions have been cancelled.

MyHeritage bank account will show receipt of £226 from my paypal account, with transaction ID, and my original account number - regardless of whether the account was deleted, they still have my money, which I would like back please.

I have no doubt I will simply receive a standard reply to this email which will result in no refund and further frustration, but it's worth a try!

I've used this company's website once, over 5 years ago. I've used it's free trial only, after which I intended to cancel and not use it again. 5 years (!) later, 2022, and I'm suddenly charged for almost 200 euro for nothing! My account has nothing connected to it, no subscriptions or credit cards, nothing!

Fraudulent and scam-like practice to prey on inattentive people, robbing them annually and hoping they don't see. Stay away!

El 31 de febrero se myheritage ltd realizó un cobro a mi cuenta de paypal, pese a que yo dejé de utilizar el servicio de prueba hace mas de medio año como se puede apreciar en la segunda imagen que adjunto.

Espero sean pruebas suficientes de que jamas solicite suscribirme, por lo cual espero respondan.

Acabo de contactarme con el equipo de soporte para solicitar un reembolso total, ya que no deseo participar la suscripción completa, espero su pronta respuesta.

I want to cancel my order and get a refund but cannot speak to anyone

DNA KIT: MH-3L3NE4

Hello,

My kit was registered 2 months ago. November 29, 2021. I have still not heard anything from you. When I track the kit it still says it's not been received at your Lab.

Can you contact me as it's been an awfully long time?

I am worried as it was a birthday gift from my daughter, she keeps asking have I heard from you.

Can you please contact me as soon as possible and let me know what is happening.

Thank you.

Hilary Jones
