    I signed up for a 7 day free trial with Rocket Lawyer and decided after a couple days that their services didnt interest me. It was very difficult to figure out on their website how to cancel the free trial. No responses to my emails came prior to the 7th trial day. Months later, I was alarmed to find that my bank statement showed several charges made by Rocket Lawyer. I made several emails requesting to cancel and refund me on the charges made in error however, Rocket Lawyer continued to claim that they never billed me when in fact I was billed $39.99 for the months of February, March, April, May, and June 2024! So far, thats a total of five times when I should have never even been billed once! I am beyond upset and desperately need this money back as soon as possible as I have a family to support.This is outright theft and deceptive business practices. It's unacceptable for a business to use such corrupt tactics to steal from people. I received an email reply on April 17, 2024 from a person named ******* stating that she received my Data Deletion request. However it didnt end there. Rocket Lawyer never refunded the charges from February, March, April, ***, and I could not understand why they still continued to bill me through June of 2024! Despite my continuous efforts to contact them to refund me my money, Ive had zero success. I demand a full refund from all months charged in error a total of $199.95 (so far), from these thieves. They have unprofessional business practices and only care to steal money and take advantage of their unsuspecting customers.

    In March 2023, I signed up for a free trial with Rocket Lawyer to utilize their service for an LLC document. After reviewing an online statement in June 2024, I discovered that I had been charged a monthly recurring fee of $39.99 for a Rocket Lawyer subscription. I have never received any form of receipt, including email, for these 15 recurring payments, which total $599.85.While I understand that mistakes happen, I am willing to pay the initial $39.99 for the first month, as I did use the service once. However, I find it unacceptable and predatory to be charged for 15 months without any notification. Upon canceling immediately, I requested a refund via email and received a response stating that $119.97 (equivalent to 3 of the 15 payments) would be refunded to the original account. This is unacceptable.As previously mentioned, I am willing to pay the $39.99 for the first month of service. However, I am out a significant amount of money due to what I consider predatory practices. I am requesting a full refund for the remaining charges beyond the first month.

    Hello Angel,We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any confusion regarding our Free Trial Terms of Service. We do explain at the time of sign up that as long as the membership is downgraded during the Trial period, there's no billing whatsoever. Otherwise, it will convert into a Premium Monthly Plan and can also be downgraded at any time in the monthly membership. As a courtesy, we have provided an additional refund for the requested charges. Please allow 7-10 business days for the refunds to process and let us know if you have any questions or concerns by responding to the refund confirmation email.
