      I attempted to cancel my membership on 6/14, but was offered a lower price to remain a member. I accepted the offer but was charged the full amount and they are saying I'm too late to cancel. I was fine with the lower price but they completely lied about the lower amount to prevent me from canceling when I still had time.

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2021/07/23) */ Regarding the complaint filed by this Consumer, we have the following response: In regard to the Consumer's recent inquiry regarding the cancellation of their eharmony account, we have reviewed this account and confirmed that the Consumer purchased a subscription plan that requires 4 separate payments on a 50% discount, billed over the first 4 months of the subscription. Our records show that the Consumer has completed 2 installment(s) however, 2 remaining installments are currently outstanding. While our members may request closure of their accounts at any time, if a subscription is purchased on an installation payment basis (such as three-part pay), cancellation will not affect any obligation to pay the total contractual amount due on the agreed to subscription, and the credit card will continue to be charged the scheduled payments until the remaining balance is paid in full. As a result, we are unable to cancel this subscription. This account has 2 payments remaining and is currently open and active and is set to expire on 06/15/2022. We have also confirmed that the auto-renewal feature on this account has been disabled. We thank this Consumer for taking the time to try our service and we wish them all the best. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2021/07/23) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) They are completely ignoring the fact that they offered me a lower rate when I attempted to cancel during my cancellation window but didn't honor it and now are saying I still have to pay. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2021/07/26) */ Regarding the complaint filed by this Consumer, we have the following response: In regard to the Consumer's complaint regarding their experience at eharmony, we feel that we have adequately addressed the Consumer's concerns and we have no further response. We thank this Consumer for taking the time to try our service and we wish them all the best. Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2021/07/26) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) All they said was they think they responded well. They didn't. There are many of the same complaints and they do nothing.

      I purchased a subscription for eHarmony and was charged $63.11 on June 17. I was very unhappy with the services and cancelled my subscription less than a month after. I was then charged another $63.11 on July 19th. I then found out that I had only been able to cancel renewal date which is December. So I get charged every month until then. I tried to contact eHarmony by email and phone. I feel that their advertising information is misleading and iam very disappointed in the inability to get a helpful response by email and no response by phone. I would like a refund for $63.11 from July 19 and no more charges to me.

      I made an account with Eharmony and then canceled my account and subscription expecting them to no longer charge my credit card. They proceeded to charge my card for $43.16. When I emailed them they stated "even though you may have canceled your account we still process your payments. We will not refund you." Basically stating that they don't care that they took my money without concent.

      I cancelled my account with eHarmoney a year ago and they never acknowledges the cancellation despite my repeated attempts to follow their on line instructions. Then on 7/4/2021 they charged my account $550.80 I tried to log on using my saved account info in my passwords ******* and could not do so, after they charged me. I cannot find a good phone number for them including the one you have that requires an extension. So I have not been able to contact them to take care of this issue. Meanwhile the period to contact them for a refund has lapsed despite my daily attempts to reach them in person. Their system gave me a place to contact them through their website but I tried repeals from 7/4/21-7/11/21 and finally received an email stating they will I ly use the email address I last used in their system which was addresses so my at *** dot com address.
