      We immediately sent you an email with the date and time to cancel in bold print.
      We followed this up with an email on  May 16, 2023, reminding you that you still have an active account with us.
      After that, it was on your credit card statement every month.

      This was a fraud account setup and they agreed and canceled and closed the account and refunded me for the second charge that I just saw. But they did not fund me for the charge that I sent a screenshot of and told me that they would not and that even if I filed a complaint with the ****** ******** ****** that I would not receive my money back and I don't care how far I have to go but if this is a fraud situation which I know it is because it was set up with my personal email and my business cash app. I would have never done that if I set it up I would have set my business email on my business cash app and I never signed up for this I don't even know what services they provide. So I am requesting a refund of this charge or I will publicize what law Depot is allowing.

      Hello *******,

      Our records indicate that on May 15, 2023, you signed up for a 1 Week Free Trial for $35.00/month after the trial ends. You can cancel anything with no obligations. 
      We told you this again when you entered your edit card information. We also printed the date and time to cancel your account on the bottom of the receipt we asked you to print out.  We then immediately sent you a confirmation email with the date and time to cancel your account in bold print. We followed this up on May 23, 2023, confirming that your account was still active.
      Your free trial ended on May 22, 2023, and we received your call to cancel your account on June 22, 2023.  At this time, we refunded your charge that had just gone through that day.
      You completed two documents, a Business Plan and an LLC Operating Agreement. Both documents have your name on them, which makes this nonfraudulent.
      We did refund the one month for you, but as you did not cancel your account within the Trial Period, we are unable to refund your May charge.

      Hello ****,

      When someone comes to the site, they are given three options to purchase their documents:

      Hello,
      When you create a document, you may choose from three different licensing options:

      One Year Pro: $107.88. Create and print as many documents as you need for a full year.

      Basic: $7.50 - $50 per document, depending on the document. Provides full access to a specific period of time  date  This option self expires after two weeks.

      Free 7 day Trial: Free access to all documents for one week. $35 per month after that. No commitment - cancel online at any time. Once you have an account, type Cancel in the search box, and we will provide the link to cancel
      your account.

      When you sign up for the 1 Week Free Trial, we inform you that it is a Free Trial twice through the checkout process and then place the date and time to cancel on the bottom of the receipt we ask you to print out.   We then send you a confirmation email with the date and time to cancel.

      We send you a follow-up email on the 8th day, reminding you that your account is still active. After that, the charge is on your statement.

      We try as much as possible to ensure our e-mails do not go to the spam folders.  But for example, you can click on any e-mail you receive and add the sender to your junk email list, in which case all future emails you receive from that sender would go to your spam folder.

      I am rejecting this response because: I did complete a cancellation on day eight, accepting that I would be charged for the month. 

      In November I attempted to cancel again after my bank statements continued to show charges. I tried again in January of this year. 

      I did not receive a communication in February. 

      The multiple complaints on the *** website all outline the same difficulties in cancelling service. This is malicious fraudulent behaviour.

      On February 27th, I was in a hurry, I was on my way out of the door to sell my car and had forgotten to print a bill of sale. I knew there were free versions so I Googled "Free Bill of Sale Download". In the top results was lawdepot.com with the title, "Free Bill of Sale" in blue hyperlinked letters. I clicked and their website again said "Free Bill of Sale" top center in white letters with simple instructions: "Answer a few simple questions", "Print and Download Instantly", "It just takes 5 minutes"; there are icons for a car, a watercraft, and so on. I selected the car icon, clicked "Get Started" and "Create my Document". There is another green button with white letters that repeats "Create your free bill of sale in 5-10 minutes". There is a series of questions: State: Make, Model, etc of Vehicle; ...Vin number; ...odometer reading; and so on until "To Download and Print Your Bill of Sale select a Free or Premium License"! By this time I've entered all the info and I'm still are looking for a free download, as advertised, so I select "Free License". 10-12 pages after I started the process, they ask for my CC and I realize it has been false advertising and is not free at all. They are banking (quite literally) on people like me to sign-up thinking, "oh I'll just cancel this as soon as I have what I came for - A FREE DOCUMENT". I reluctantly enter my info because I've waisted time and am still in a hurry, print and rush off to sell my car. By the time I've gotten home its time to cook dinner, sleep, go to work, repeat. Some months later I notice a recurring $35 charge from lawdepot.com (which I've forgotten about by now). I look it up, search my emails and realize I forgot to cancel that "Free License" and have now paid $105 for that "free document". I call to explain my case and plead for a refund and am met with the old "sorry sucker its our policy...." ploy and the most patronizing and pedantic "escalation supervisor" who revels in landing another busy fish.

      Hello ***,

      When you created your Bill of Sale, you were given 3 options to print your document.
      1) 1-week free trial which stated that it was free for 1 week and would be $35/month after the trial ends.
      2)You were also given the option of paying a one-time charge of $44.00 so that you would not need to worry about canceling.
      3)There was also a 1 Year Subscription that was $8.99/month prepaid for 1 year.
      When you then selected the Free Trial when you entered your credit card, we again stated in a large green box that it is free for 1 Week and will be $35/month until you cancel your account.
      We immediately sent you a confirmation email with the date and time to cancel your account in bold print. With the link that takes you right to the cancel page.
      We followed that up with a reminder email that you still had an account with us on March 7, 2023.  After that, the charges are on your monthly statement. 
      As per our term of use that is posted on the website, we do not refund the monthly subscription. We give you access to the month that you have paid for.
      Our records indicate that your last charge was on May 6, 2023, and you did not contact us until June 1, 2023.
      I am sorry but, as stated by the supervisor that you spoke to, we are unable to refund your charges.

      Complaint: 20131836

      I am rejecting this response because these details about costs where not shown on their website as I have proof of uploaded to my original complaint. The only thing shown was the false advertisement of a free download and at the very end a free trial for seven days after which point if I didn’t cancel I would be charged $35 monthly as I explained in my original complaint. There was never any offer to pay any amount for a one-time download shown to me on their  website on February 27th now any affirmation that at least $35 would definitely be charged, that was supposedly only going to happen if I failed to cancel which apparently I did. I still request the refund because of the false advertising and baiting utilises by this company to get money for nothing. I literally only downloaded one document in three months and was charged $105 for it. That is ridiculous, this company knows it and should respond with kindness, understanding and a refund. They seem not to entertain an ethos of customer service given their whole bit is to take advantage of people like me.

      Complaint: 20131836

      I am rejecting this response because: the first page of your attachment showing the middle option of a one-time $44 charge was not there on February 27th. The only two options I was presented was for a Premium or Free License, as I previously explained in my complaint. I did not deny that I knew I was supposed to cancel. I told you as much on the phone and in my written my original complaint herein this *** dialogue. Your emails starting on March 7th went unnoticed in my inbox as that was 11 days after I used your service and I  didn't recognize the name and though it was junk so just deleted without even reading it. Everyone gets so many junk emails that get through Spam filters, I literally delete 50-100 emails a day from businesses that I once used or ordered a product from online and news emails, etc. I had  forgotten the name of the website I used to download the Bill of Sale probably within 24 hours of downloading it. Obviously I had forgotten to cancel the subscription as well. If your company had really wanted to help clients not make this mistake, the initial email would have come before the "Free Trial" expired and made a better attempt to grab their attention. Goodness knows all the shopping sights use everything from emojis to colorful letters to bold fonts and all caps to grab your attention. Your emails - now that I see what you sent me in your attachment to your last reply - were very nondescript and intended not to draw attention and certainly not to invoke thoughts of cancelling. 

      What is unconscionable is that I told you I only used the one document, and yet had been charged $105 for it.  I also told you I thought I had cancelled, but must have forgotten to,  and after realizing I was being charged pleaded monthly with you for a refund as I had not used the service since downloading the Bill of Sale on February 27th.

      In comparison, I also attempted to download a Bill of Sale from **************** on the same day and went through a similar process but didn't even finish downloading the Bill of Sale. When I cancelled my accidental subscription to that service and emailed them asking for a refund in the same way I asked you, they didn't hesitate to provide excellent customer service. In fact, their representative apologized by email that I wasn't able to use their service and immediately refunded me for all three months of the subscription. I didn't even have to call them! This is what I would expect from you as well after informing you that I had been very rushed that day and did not intend to keep the subscription going and had not gotten any value out of it since downloading the one Bill of Sale which is not worth $105!

      Similarly, I discovered a recurring charge from an Antivirus service this week that was purchased in 2020 and had been charged annually, but only used on one computer for one year,  and the price kept going up every year after that, even though it was unused. I called them and they refunded me for the last year. Even that is better service than absolutely nothing. You should never patronize your customers especially when they have paid you three times over for one simple document that should have been free. You know that $105 is an unreasonable amount and I paid for more than the value of what I got. You know that this is human error and should be kind and understanding. Shame on you. At least I can add to the long list of similar complaints from other dissatisfied customers and hopefully save some people from wasting their money on your service. 


      Sincerely,

      *** *****

      I went to them for a single document and at the end it says to cancel you subscription before 7 days to not be charged the $35. I cancelled it and just found out they have been charging me $35 for 9 months. I called and the told me that I never did cancel my subscription.

      Hello,
      I have read the conversation that you started with our customer representative. The email you kept giving us was for an account canceled back in 2018. When we asked you for another email address, you only gave us one other email address that did not have an account with us.
      When you finally gave us the first and last 4 numbers of your credit card.  At this time, we found the account under the email address ************************.  Our records indicate this account was created on Feb 10/2020, to create a Living Trust. 
      When you signed up for 1 Week Free Trial, we explained that it was free for one week and would be $33/month until the trial ends.  You then had to enter your credit card information. On the side of this screen was a large green box that said If it’s Free, Why Do you Ask for Credit Card Information.   We again explained that it was Free for 1 week and would be $33/month after the trial ends. You can cancel at any time with no obligations.
      We then asked you to print a receipt out on the bottom of the receipt; it had the date and time to cancel your account.  We immediately sent you a confirmation email that stated the date and time to cancel your account in bold print.
      We followed this up with an email address with one sent to you on Feb 18/2020, explaining that your account was still active.
      On Feb 14/2020 you created:
      A Bill of Sale with name in it.
      End of Life Plan with your name in it
      Power of Attorney with your name on it
      Living will with your name in it.  
      Eviction with your name on it

      The charges were then on your monthly credit card statement with our phone number beside the charge to make it easy to contact us.
      On April 12/2023, you contacted us to cancel your account.  Once we were able to find the account, we canceled it.  Sorry, but we did not get a cancelation request before this, so we cannot refund your charges. 
      I will refund the March charge of $33.00 as a courtesy.

      - Transactions have ocurred since April 2021 till present. Exactly two years of continue charges. - Amount paid from April 2021 to April 2022 = 491.40 and from May 2022 to April 2023 = 528.84. Total paid $1,020.24 - They provide with legal template forms - Nature of dispute is that they offered a trial service for 7 days and after that you are allow to cancel the service at not cost. - I have tried to raise my overcharged, privacy and billing concerns with their customer support without success. Their support over chat is not only insufficient, but their agents are rude and dismissive. I was charged for a subscription trial I cancelled prior to the rebilling, and support failed to acknowledge the concerns I raised to them. The last dealing after a few times was with a supervisor ******* ****** which became increasingly more hostile and aggressive and no longer wanted to help me find a resolution and ultimately hang up the phone to me. It is unfair to charge an individual $1020.24 for a service that was not used except for one day during a trial service. I totally understand individual responsibility and I also understand fairness. I haven't had a chance to deal with this situation as I have been dealing with some personal issues since Covid started and currently living out of a pension money which is not sufficient to cover all my bills, in the meantime I have to spend my time and enrgy fitting with this type of corrupted companies that take advantage of people like me. This is unfair! Looking for your help and would hope that this company is able to provide a full refund for the months where the service was not used. Sincerely, **** ******* **. I have attached all statements showing the charges under LAWDepot.ca and the below e-mail I have been getting from them which I though it was a **** so I did not act on it.

      Hello ****,
      As we explained to you on the phone. Twice through the checkout processes and by email that when you signed up for the 1 Week Free Trial you would need to cancel this account, or it would be a monthly subscription of $39/month.  This does show on your credit card statements every month with our phone number beside it to make it easy to contact us to cancel these charges.  
      On May 3/2021 you signed in to create a Residential Rental Application.  You then used the service again on June 14/2022 to create a Bill of Sale.  At this time, you again never canceled your account. 
      The email that you received letting you know your credit card needed to be updated was sent out because your card needed to be updated. In some cases, your bank will automatically update your card which is what might have happened in this case. If that is the case, you would need to speak to your bank.
      As stated, to you on the phone because this account was used again while it was open and still not canceled after that point, we are not able to refund your charges.

      Complaint: 19631615

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This company had a very difficult and confusing way to get out of membership once the free trial is over. I called in right after I used the free trial to make sure my credit card was not being charged and the agent never advised me of the online process cancellation though the phone cancellation was good enough. Unfortunately, my credit card was set up for pre-authorized payments as such this company was taking charges for the period of 20 months for using their service in two occasions so technically I paid almost $1,000 for the producing of two forms? - I am totally disgusted how companies like this one takes advantage of so many individuals like myself for their own financial benefits.  

      Having not know that my card was still attached to the FREE trial, I called the company immediately and the agent stated that after a 7 day free trial, one is automatically subscribed at a monthly fee unless this is cancelled. I explained that this must have been a mistake on my part since I am not tech savvy and this was not explained to me on my previous call when I originally signed up for the 7 days free trial service. I have not used the service since that the two forms were were download and asked if anything could be done. She said no because it was clearly on the fine print. I asked to speak with a supervisor and I was transferred to ******* ***** who start yelling at me without not manners and tried to explained again the situation and she said there was nothing they could do. I have been charged approx. $932.10 for a service, that they confirmed during the call, was not used except for the two forms downloaded. I realize that they have the fine print, but I feel the charges I received were not fair and demonstrate poor business integrity. Knowing I did not use their service, and proof on their end that I did not, I would expect a full refund for the months where the service was not accessed/used otherwise I will have not other choice to take further actions.  

      Sincerely,

      **** *******

      Hello *****,
      Our records indicate that we did not receive a phone call from you between May 3 and May 10/2021.  If we had, we would have canceled your account at this time.  When you call in to cancel your account, we advise you that you will receive a cancelation email within 20 min to your junk or spam folder.  
      We sent you a reminder email on May 11/2021, letting you know that this account was still open.  Then it did appear on all your credit card statements with our phone number next to the charge to make it easy and convenient for you to contact us.
      As I stated on the phone with you, all these emails are located in your account for you to view at any time.
      I have attached a copy of your order confirmation email, the reminder email that we sent out to you, and the cancelation email. 

      Regards,

      Complaint: 19631615

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Need phone records from the company indicating that they did not receive a phone call from me between May 3 and May 10/2021. I called and cancelled the service within 24 hours so as a customer I thought this task was completed. The only e-mail I got after I signed into the FREE service was the attached copy which indicated no charge into my credit card account.  Now, whether you send reminder emails via junk or spam folder is not a formal process to do business.  I had no idea I needed it to check other folders while your company was charging an unauthorized amount of $44.07 a month on my credit card. 

      Additionally, I have not received a monthly e-mail confirmation that this amount has been applied to my credit card for payment. Every other company I deal with sends me a monthly notification when monthly payments are applied to my bills. This is not transparent to be honest.

      Please use some common sense here and ask yourself this question. Client uses the Free Trial service to download two forms = $932.10? Does it make sense to charge a customer this much?

      As consumer I am protected by the Consumer Bill of Rights and I will exercise my rights till the end to fight with companies such us yours for ****ming lots of innocent people.


      Sincerely,

      **** *******

      Law Depot continues to have deceptive marketing practices and I have tried to raise my privacy and billing concerns with their customer support without success. Their support over chat is not only insufficient, but their agents are rude and dismissive. I was charged for a subscription trial I cancelled prior to the rebilling, and support failed to acknowledge the concerns I raised to them. They also confirmed admittedly through chat they had full access to my confidential and private documents I never gave them permission to access or view. The chat interface discloses that the session will be recorded and maintained, and i asked for a transcript of it and the agent, *********, flat out told me no, she did not have the ability to give me that information. I mentioned a data privacy agent will then, and ********* became increasingly more hostile and aggressive the longer the chat progressed.

      Hello ******,

      Our records indicate that you signed up for a 1 Week Free Trial on Feb 19/2023 and canceled your Trial on Feb 23/2023 with no charges to your account.
      The customer service representatives on the floor do not have access to send you any transcripts. You then asked for the Privacy Offer contact information, and you were provided with **************************.  You were also concerned about your information being online we did let you know you can delete your account information.

      Regards,

      I signed up for a trial with this website on September 23, 2021, liked the service, and signed up for a $79/yr contract. Several months later, i learned they were charging me $39.99/mo. I called in March of 2022, and the company agreed to reverse the charges for the monthly subscription and charge me the annual rate retroactively. It was to renew in September of 2022. I then found they did not reverse the charges, and had in fact continued to bill the monthly amount of 39.99/mo. I emailed the company to begin to create a paper trail, and they closed my account. I would like them to either keep my account open and refund $519.85 (the difference between what i was charged and what i should have been charged), or cancel my account and refund $599.84 (the difference between what i was charged and what i should have been charged for a one year contract. This, because they would be cancelling me before the end of my second year contract).
