In May of this year was offered a free trial subscription to Obe through Afterpay or Affirm for being on time on my payments.I put in my credit card information when filling out the profile information and forgot about it.After the 1st charge of $24.99 on my Mastercard in June, I emailed the customer service department and asked that my subscription be cancelled. I gave them my profile name and my email, the charge and the type of card it was.I received an email from a person named ***** telling me that they could not locate my account with the information they gave me and wanted the last 4 digits on my credit card, type of credit card (which I had given them in the previous email) and the amount of the charge (which I had already included in the previous email). I wanted to speak to a customer rep in person instead of sending my cc information over email, but there is no customer number that I can find. If there is one, it is impossible to locate. In the meantime I was charged again in July, $24.99, so I emailed to cancel my subscription for the 2nd time and I have not received a response. I haven't received a response and I have emailed two more times asking for the company to cancel my subscription. I just want to cancel my subscription. I would like the July subscription amount back but am fine with not getting it back if I can just get my subscription cancelled. Also, I have tried to cancel through my Obe Fitness account under their Manage Subscriptions but there is only a blank screen. If there is anything you can do I would appreciate it.Thank you,*********************Customer response

I started a free trial with this company and tried to cancel the subscription before the trial ended. Although the app indicates it has a "manage subscription" tab, but when you open it nothings comes up about managing your subscription. It in fact goes back to the home page and asks you to open the app.....which I was in. when I went online, they gave me directions how to "manage subscription". That did not work. I looked in my apple subscriptions......I must have dealt directly with the company, because nothing shows up in my apple subscription. I then enlisted the help of two friends to help me with this. We found an article that indicated subscriptions could only be cancelled via phone. We tried to find a phone number. We found 3, none of which worked. I have sent two emails....no response yet. They have also charged me the amount for a years subscription before the trial is even over. I have included a picture of the charge, I have included a picture of the app indicting my trial is not over and I have included the email that I sent the company.Business response

I find myself in a frustrating predicament while attempting to cancel my Obe Fitness subscription. To compound matters, this month I was unexpectedly charged $199 for an annual subscription. Adding to the challenge, customer service operates only on weekdays from 9:30 am to 4 pm.Despite their guidance to call for cancellations, my persistent attempts have yielded no success. The phone calls go unanswered, or I encounter messages stating that the call cannot be completed. Considering Obe Fitness is an online fitness program, it seems logical to have an online option to freeze or cancel subscriptions.My frustration lingers as I continue to search for a resolution to cancel my subscription and secure a refund. In my pursuit of a solution, I've also submitted an email formally requesting the cancellation of my subscription.Business response

My credit card number was used to make two fraudulent transactions with OBE Fitness, both for $169. One was refused, but the second went through. When contacted by my credit card issuer regarding the fraud, OBE claimed I made the charges.Business response

We would like to address the BBB complaint filed by ***************************** ***************************** regarding the cancellation of her membership and fraudulent use of her payment information.
************** contacted our Customer Support team via email on November 30, 2023, requesting the cancellation of any membership associated with her payment information *****************************. Upon receiving ****************** request, we initiated an immediate investigation. After cross-referencing our platform's database, our investigation revealed that her card had been used fraudulently by an unknown hacker. Subsequently, we took swift action to cancel her membership and collaborated with her financial institution to facilitate a refund.
It is important to note that on November 30, 2023, when ************** initially reached out, she had already disputed the charge as fraudulent with her financial institution. This external dispute process prevented us from issuing a refund through our standard processor. Despite this challenge, ****************** financial institution extended the refund to her and we communicated this resolution to her on December 19, 2023.
To streamline the membership cancellation process, we offer multiple communication channels, including an email address ******************************** and a contact form on our platform. These avenues are designed to cater to our members' inquiries, requests for assistance, and feedback.We sincerely appreciate the feedback provided by **************, and we value her as a customer. Our commitment remains unwavering in delivering exceptional service, and we are dedicated to continual improvement based on the feedback we receive. We thank you for providing us with the opportunity to address this complaint.

I initially created an account with ******************** for a week trial. I decided that I did not want to continue with this fitness app due to a variety of reasons and quickly found out that you must CALL a number specifically to cancel free trials. The hours are very limited, and if you work clinic hours like I do, its nearly impossible to call. I reached out instead online. On 9/20/23 I was emailed confirmation that my membership was cancelled and I was not charged/ would not be charged in the future. However, I was still charged not once but again (10/19/23) for a membership. Obe Fitness makes it very hard for customers to cancel memberships, and this seems slightly predatory and irresponsible to me. Its odd to not have a streamlined way to alter your membership online since this app is an online platform. Im very upset with my experience and I expect a full refund.Customer response

I was given a free trial through a subscription box, and after a few days I knew I would not use the service enough to continue. There is no way to cancel online or through e-mail, and you have to call during regular business hours. I called on 9/14 and after being on hold for 20 minutes, customer service ended the call due to all agents helping other customers. Today, 9/22, I called again. This time, I got the message that all agents were helping other customers right away, and the call was promptly ended. I want to cancel before my trial ends, but the company is making it a frustrating and nearly impossible process.Customer response
