      Complaint Type:
      Order Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I haven't been able to log into the Pimsleur website or the app for several months. When I log in with ******* it just hangs. I tried to resolve the issue and was unable to. I tried to cancel the service, but it never got canceled. Of course, Pimsleur/Simon and Schuster claims they "have no record" of that request. But you can certainly verify when the last time I logged into my account was. After they charged me their recurring fee on July 7 of this year, I noticed the charged 10 days later and tried to call to get the refund since I hadn't been able to use the app. They said they have a "24 hour" return policy. 24 hours? Seriously?? Yet the company doesn't send out an email to say, "hey, thanks for being a customer for a year...you're subscription is about to renew." Nor do they send an email that says, "thanks for you loyalty, here is a receipt for your latest subscription." No, they just expect you to monitor your credit every single day for charges. And despite being a single parent and disabled vet in financial hardship, the billion-dollar company has elected to stick to their guns and keep my $200, no exceptions.

      I ordered a book advertised as personally hand-signed by *****************. They shipped one that was obviously machine signed using autopen technology. They have not responded to any attempts to contact by phone, social media, email, or through their website.

      The consumer was refunded the price of the book.
