We are working with our credit card company on chargebacks and…”
Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Can't close account. Still getting billed despite multiple request to close“No self-serving account cancellation. I've now been charged for 4 months of service since disconnecting their service, despite requesting that my account be closed numerous times directly to their customer support staff. Will never use the product again.”

From the beginning the whole process of signing up, verification, and payments were quite different to any other online service I knew.…”
