    I have tried to contact dribble ups support numerous times to cancel the service. All I receive is a link to cancel the service through the App Store. It is not in my list of active or inactive subscriptions. All I want to do is stop being billed for a fraudulent service. They are no help.

    We understand how frustrating this situation must be. Since the Membership was activated through an ***** account, we unfortunately dont have access to manage or cancel In-App Purchases. If the subscription isnt appearing in your list of active or inactive subscriptions, its possible it was created under a different Apple ID. We recommend reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance in locating and canceling the subscription. Let us know if you need any additional details from us to help with the process.

    I attempted to cancel this membership, but the company has refused. It has never been used and we attempted to cancel it immediately and they have kept charging us for almost 36 months. Today speaking with an offshore team member, they finally said that they could issue a refund but for only 30 days and maybe 60 days. I request the full amount; it is shameful that accompany would accept revenues from everyday people that are ill-gotten. We have never used this product.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/13/2025

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We value the opportunity to address your concerns and clarify the situation.


    After reviewing the details of your account, we confirmed that the purchase was made by another authorized user connected to your account. Although the email used to contact us was different from the one associated with the purchase, our **************** team was able to locate and cancel the Dribbleup All-Access Membership based on the information you provided. At no point did we refuse to cancel the Membership; we simply needed accurate details to identify and address your request.

    As part of our resolution, we have already processed a full refund for all charges. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out to our **************** team, who are available every day via chat or email from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM EST.

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make this right.

    We purchased the app several years ago. In January 2022, I requested that our membership be cancelled. At that time they said they couldn't locate our account but they continued to charge our bank account every month. I have made the request to cancel several more times and disputed it with my bank, but the charge keeps occurring each month. I just want the membership cancelled and to not be charged any longer. How can they not know who/how they are charging? Here was a response in January of 2022, "I found the order and username, but not the membership. Let us know if you'd like us to check any other emails."

    I purchased the dribble up basketball and baseball glove around Christmas of 2023. Since this purchase, I was initially charged ***** on 1/25/2024 for a membership which I paused immediately because the ball was not even out of the box yet. I paused the membership for 3 months, I again was charged ***** on 5/25/2024. I have tried reaching out to them and contacting them to understand why I was charged again even though i paused my account and the original ***** should be put towards my first month of use. I have been unsuccessful contacting the dribble up team via messages, and I am constantly directed to the membership settings to either pause or cancel the account. I was again charged on 6/25/2024 and 7/25/2024. I have cancelled the account but have no recourse of action to try an obtain a refund. Company does not cooperate in any way to get this issue resolved, i am constantly redirected to account settings.

    Hi there, I've reviewed your account and see you previously paused your Dribbleup All-Access Membership for three months. After that period, your membership access and payments resumed. Your membership remained active until canceled. I see you've been in contact with us. Please message us directly if you have any additional questions or want to review your account further.

    Dribble up *** makes it impossible to cancel their membership. They sent me to a website that doesnt get back.

    Hi there, I'm sorry that you were experiencing an issue with the Dribbleup Membership portal online. I see once we manually processed the cancelation and sent a confirmation three minutes after you notified us about the issue. Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.

    Made initial purchase for $112.00 on 12/19/23 for set of hand weights, basketball, soccer ball & stand. Did not receive the stand and emailed them. Did get one shipped.On 12/30/23, was charged $16.99 membership fee which provides unlimited live online sessions for all sports.Emailed them on 1/3/24, after this charge was withdrawn and requested this membership fee be cancelled and the $16.99 be refunded.Received confirmation by email of 1/17/24 that my membership was cancelled and that I should see this refund for $16.99 reflected within a few days. Now 3 months later still have not been able to receive this refund!What complicates this non-refund issue, is the Debit Card used for these charges in December 2023 had to be closed in January by my bank, Valley Strong CU, due to fraud attempts to my account. A new Debit Card account was opened in January. Dribble up says they can only refund back to this now closed Debit Card and have attempted several times but my bank repeatedly declines the transaction. Have spoken at least 5 times now with my bank, Valley Strong CU at **************, and they say that DribbleUp must enter the Authorization Code originally used for this transaction and it would process correctly. My bank even provided me with the code to provide to DribbleUp!. Code was ******. DribbleUp insists they can not enter this Code and that my bank needs to reactivate my closed Debit Card in order to refund this charge. My bank says they can not re-open a now closed account due to fraud attempted and that this company must be able to submit this refund by using the Authorization Code originally used. I asked DribbleUp for a phone number so my bank could speak to them directly but was told they didnt have a phone number? I then asked for a paper check in lieu of a credit, but was told they cant refund by issuing a check!Want to finally get this refund due me for $16.99!!Would you please intervene on my behalf in resolving this issue.Thank you!

    Hi there, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we are only able to process refunds to the original form of payment. We also don't have any option to enter an authorization code as you referenced. You can contact us directly if you have any other questions. We're available through email and chat every day between 8a-11p ET.

    Business Response

    Date: 05/13/2024

    Hi there, I'm sorry but as we've been explaining the refunds are being rejected by your bank and/or processor since the payments are beyond 6 months. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. We're happy to reattempt the refund at any time but we only have the option to refund to the original form of payment and do not have the ability to "enter a code" as you've referenced. If you have additional questions or would like us to retry the refund please contact us directly.

    In December, I purchased a DribbleUp package that included a ball and introductory downloads as a gift. I also signed up for a monthly subscription at a charge of $16.99 a month for additional downloads, with the understanding the subscription could be cancelled at any time.I attempted to cancel the subscription today by calling their service at ************. After spending close to two hours on the phone, it became clear that something was amiss. Rather than just letting the charges cease, they insisted on "crediting" me. I don't have a debit card, so I was instructed to go to my Venmo account and was supposed to transfer the amount in there to a "*************************************", the "supervisor". I refused to continue the process but know I will continue to be charged $16.99 a month indefinitely. I don't know how to resolve this situation and any help you can provide me would be hugely appreciated!

    Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. Dribbleup only offers email and chat support at this time. I'm not sure who you spoke with but we do not offer phone support and that number is not affiliated with our business. I would suggest that you followup with your bank or Venmo to notify them of the situation.

    I did find an email request from you to cancel your Dribbleup All-Access Membership and it was processed. You should have received a confirmation of the cancelation from Dribbleup. Please contact us directly if there's anything else we can help you with. You can reply to the previous email you sent. Again, the number you mentioned is not associated with Dribbleup. I hope you're able to resolve that matter with your bank or Venmo.

    I bought this ball as a Christmas present and it specifically asks you if you want a membership and i selected no. I am reviewing my bank statements from the last 6 months and they took the purchase amount for the ball to be shipped. Then right after Christmas they started taking ***** out 28th of Dec, Jan, Feb. Most recently, they have attempted to take March out, even after i left a message in their "voicemail". After reading the reviews on here it seems that only you CAN get a hold of them. So, thank you.

    Business Response

    Date: 04/10/2024

    Hi there, I'm sorry for any misunderstanding with your purchase. The Dribbleup All-Access Membership is required with all purchases. The option you are referring to was the ability to delay the Membership until Christmas Day which is available during the holiday season. The Membership is communicated on the website product pages, during checkout, and in a separate confirmation email. Dribbleup Customer Support is available through email and live chat, I'm sorry but there's no phone support. We'll have someone reach out to you directly to further discuss your account.
