Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against LeetCode regarding an unauthorized auto-renewal charge of $159 on my account. I filed a ticket on leetcode and tried contacting them, but have not received any response. I contacted them as soon as I discovered this charge, which I did not authorize or receive any prior notification for. Despite contacting LeetCode, their customer service was unhelpful. I have not used the service since the renewal and do not intend to in the coming year. I kindly request the BBB to assist in processing a full refund for this unauthorized charge. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely,Sumama Invoice number F9B5BAED-0003 Receipt number *********Business response

Dear BBB team,I signed up for LeetCode Premium on August of 2023, with the intent to use it for one year. On Aug 12 2024, LeetCode billed me for a second year. Within a week, I found out from my bank statement, I cancelled my subscription and contacted LeetCode to request a refund for the second year. LeetCode refused to issue a refund. To be clear: I am being charged for one year of services that started this week, even though I do not want those services.Their automatic renewal billing is predatory to say at least, and the name of the merchant is ****** furniture which make no sense Thank you for your time.Kind regardsBusiness response

I am rejecting this response because: the business only offered a 50% partial refund, whereas I am seeking a full refund of $159. I am requesting the full amount because I did not use the service at all, and I did not receive any notification prior to the renewal.

I signed up for LeetCode Premium on July 10th, 2024, with the intent of using it for one month. On August 10th, 2024, LeetCode billed me for a second month. Within less than an hour of this happening, I cancelled my subscription and contacted LeetCode to request a refund for the second month. LeetCode refused to issue a refund, even though I requested my refund and cancellation of my subscription less than an hour after being informed it was being renewed for a second month. I received an automated response refusing to issue the refund immediately after sending them my first message. I sent a second message right afterwards, and as of now they have ignored my reply.Customer response

There has been an invalid billing transaction being created on my ********** Coral credit card number ending with 5035. I deleted my card and unsubscribed from the merchant leetcode on 30th July, 2024. Even on the screen it is written as shared. Even after that a billing amount of 127.20$ has been deducted from my card on 31st July, 2024. I cancelled the subscription before the auto-renewal date. Therefore, I didnt authorise this transaction and so it shouldnt have executed in the first place itself. I have already got my card blocked permanently.I would like this to be raised as a dispute and this transaction to be reverted.Business response

Dispute Against LeetCode for Unauthorized Auto-Renewal Charge. Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against LeetCode regarding an unauthorized auto-renewal charge of $159 on my account. Upon reviewing my bank statement, I discovered this charge, which I did not authorize or receive prior notification for. Additionally, LeetCode sent the renewal notification to an incorrect and rarely used email address instead of my primary email on file. This prevented me from noticing the renewal in a timely manner and requesting a refund. Despite contacting LeetCode, their customer service was unhelpful. I have not used the service since the renewal and do not intend to in the coming year. I kindly request the BBB to assist in processing a full refund for this unauthorized charge. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely,Business response

I am rejecting this response because:I already reached out to Leetcode customer service (ticket number ******* before filling the BBB compliant. They refused to provide full refund, though they billed to a wrong email address without sending an email notification of the membership payment last they did in the past and I haven't used the service at all. I will involve legal support if this issue cannot be resolved timely.

I subscripted a yearly service from Leetcode a year ago. I forgot cancel the service. On 06/28/2024, it charged me 159 dollars without any notice and any reminder. In my opinion, they should give customers notice before they are charged because customers, probably, forget what they subscripted one year ago. It is not a day or one months. It is, in fact, one year! Leetcode only provides email address for customers to contact it. When I sent an email about request refund, they negatively retreated me and just use "copy and paste" and never resolve my question.Business response
