      There are 2 issues that I am reporting. The first is that I was signed up for 2 identical accounts and was double charged. Then I was double charged again a year later. The second issue is that I did not know I was signing up for a year long subscription in the first place. Because they use a third party, FastSpring, to process payments, I did not recognize the emails from Pantone. I reached out to them immediately when I saw this second charge a year later and never heard back. I have reached out to them twice now, and filed a complaint with PayPal but haven't heard back. At least, I would like the double payments reimbursed, and the recurring payment on the single account reimbursed.

      On January 11 (two weeks ago) I subscribed Pantone Connect, but I was charged both a monthly and yearly subscription. With no option to correct this on my end, I contacted the customer support phone number and was told I would be contacted the next day. That didn't happen, so I tried their online message system, again was told I'd receive a response the next day. No response. I tried the online message system a second time, again no response.

      I am writing to file a complaint against Pantone Connect on behalf of ***** ****** ******* regarding the lack of account access for our purchased licenses. We purchased Pantone Connect licenses in January 2023. Since then, I have been facing significant issues with gaining access to my account despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter with Pantone Connect's customer service. I have made dozens of phone calls to Pantone Connect's customer service, but the response has been extremely poor. In most cases, the call is either disconnected or I am promised that my message will be passed to their IT department, but there has been no resolution. It has been several months now, and I am still unable to access my account, which is causing disruptions to our operations at ***** Public Schools. The account used to purchase the licenses was *********************, and despite providing all the necessary information and proof of purchase, I have not been able to gain access to the account. This lack of account access is not only hindering our ability to fully utilize the purchased licenses but also causing frustration and inconvenience for our staff and students. As a public educational institution, we have limited resources and rely on the services we purchase to function efficiently. However, Pantone Connect's lack of responsiveness and failure to resolve this issue in a timely manner is impeding our operations and impacting our ability to provide quality education to our students. I am seeking assistance from BBB to help resolve this matter and ensure that Pantone Connect provides the necessary support to grant me access to my account and fulfill the terms of the purchased licenses. We have invested time and money into these licenses, and it is unacceptable to be denied access without a proper resolution.
