    I signed up for a free trial. When I was charged the first payment, I called, and the system said it canceled my account. I was then charged again today and called to do the same thing, and the system stated it had canceled my account. I called back because I wanted a refund, only to realize I wasnt canceled, the account would still be active, and I wouldve been charged again. They will give me back the April payment but will not give me back the March payment as if their system didnt make the mistake.

    I have been signed up and charged monthly $39.95 for 3 months by PDF Simpli. I never subscribed to this membership and have reached out numerous times to them regarding the mistake. The business has been difficult and refusing a refund despite that fact I never signed up or used their service. They have offered only a partial refund.

    PDFSIMPLI refuses to refund my money or give me access to my services.I paid about 1.95 for the trial and canceled it everything was going fine.I checked my PayPal and I was charged USD ***** this was not emailed to me at all with the email I signed up with if it wasn't for PayPal I wouldn't have gotten this notification.I filed a chargeback with ****** then PDFSIMPLI shut down my account WITHOUT refunding me my subscription money and then the Paypal chargeback was denied due to them submitting false claims.I emailed them asking for me to have access to my account back if they aren't going to refund me because that is the least they can do and they sent me this " your account with this email address "REDACTED "has already been closed from our end. The reason behind the cancellation was that you had already raised a chargeback with PayPal against these payments and we had also submitted the documentation at that moment regarding the dispute so we're unable to assist you with the refund since we do not have any access now to refund your payment if you already raised a chargeback. We would suggest you to please contact your bank or PayPal to get more information regarding this matter. They will assist you further in this matter."Why close my account and then DENY me my refund and take my money anyways? Please do not sign up for this service it is a scam.

    In my 30 years of life, this is the first time I have left a negative review on a company website. I called PdfSimpli on 2/29/2024 after reviewing my account and noticing a $39.99 charge I received for their product. Upon reviewing the charge further, I saw that I had other charges related to PdfSimpli, but I don't recall ever using the product or receiving any notifications regarding the recurring charges. I called the company, both looking for answers and hoping for solutions to my issue. Instead, I was met with a customer service agent who was rude and irritated by my questions and eventually hung up on me. I assume that PdfSimpli would like to maintain customer relationships as its automated phone system attempted to down-sell the exact product I was charged $39.99 for by offering it to me for $16.99 and then $6.99. This calls to question why they are charging the customer $39.99 in the first place. After the first agent was disrespectful, I asked for a manager. I was informed that no manager was on duty before the agent disconnected the call. I called back to ask the second agent for a manager and was again hung up on, even after informing the agent that my management request was regarding a previous interaction. To say that it is the agent's sole discretion to make decisions on a customer's account and sole discretion whether or not to pass the call along to a manager once requested is ridiculous and unprofessional. I can't speak to the quality of the PdfSimpli product, as I have not had a chance to use it. However, I can speak to the quality of their customer support, and it is an interaction you don't want to have. The customer service team speaks for an organization, and what I heard on that call was that they are more concerned with your money than they are with providing you with an excellent service or product. There are many alternatives to PdfSimpli; I advise you to take your business elsewhere.

    ** reaching out to you once again,in hopes to finally resolve this matter ,with Resume Build.

    We came to a agreement that they would pay 6 months of the charges,39.95 a month.That was March 2024.

    They promised it was going to be taken care of then,and they said it was done.Ive seen two payments thats been refunded,since then.Ive been back in contact and questioned the time its taken,they have assured me its been taken care of and could take several  weeks for refunds to all appear.I dont agree with that since two have been received. I'M getting tired of emailing them and still feel like its a run around. I just want the 6 refunds and have this over.Please help.

    Hello ,once again...

    Of course Worksimpli or Resume Build, has not refunded any charges.

    I have tried to send this same complaint to Daco in ***********, but all complaint  forms etc are in Spanish, I dont speak Spanish ,can you BBB send them this complaint? I NEED HELP,..RESUME BUILD, IS NOT GOING TO CORPORATE IN THIS MATTER.I really think they are taking advantage  of the fact that they are in *********** and we in the *** cant touch them.

    Once again ,Im a senior living on a fixed income ,and because Resume Build decided to charge a years worth of charges that I didnt ask for,I cant pay the monthly charge card payments.

    They cant prove to me Im the one that they say opened a subscription, its not my email ,but my credit card.???

    Thank you,*****.

    I order 1 page pdf conversion software for $1.45 in Jan. I was charged for a subscription price of $39.95 instead. They claimed I misread the terms. Fine. I'll eat that cost. My problem is it bills $39.95 every 4 weeks and I cannot cancel my subscription. There is no option online and repeated calls and emails to pdfsimpli (their subsidiary) goes unanswered. I cannot get out of a contract I never signed up for and now can't get out of. I have no supporting documentation because I have no subscription documentation at all. I have nothing but a charge by PayPal. PayPal denied my initial request for a refund. So now the issue is, how do I avoid more charges every 4 weeks if I have no way to cancel this phantom subscription?

    They advertise as a free pdf editor. After editing the document they hold it ****** until you pay a "small" fee for a hidden trial after which you will be charged whatever number they pull out of their a** at that time. I paid the small fee and canceled the trial immediately to get my document. I was then charged 4 times over the next month 100% without my consent, until my bank caught on and cancelled my card. What they are doing is illegal and gross, and I'm seeing countless complaints of other people saying they had the same experience .

    On 11/17/23 I edited a pdf document. I paid for the edit. It was a total of $1.95. I never knew by paying for what I used with them for I was subscribing to a $39.95 subscription until I received my Dec 2023 credit card bill. On 1/2 I contacted them and disputed the charge of 12/2 in the sum of $39.95 and said the exact same thing that I paid for what I used and never subscribed and wanted to make sure there were not more charges going forward. They agreed and credited me $39.95 on 1/2/24. I just received my Jan 2024 credit card statement. There is a charge from 12/30 that I did not know anything about. When they credited me the $39.95, I assumed it was from the 12/2 charge. Now they are saying that when I put in my credit card information for the $1.95, please see screenshot, I automatically signed up for a subscription. Why would I think I was signing up for a "free trial" and subscription when I paid for what I used? This is absolute fraud. I tried to dispute it, but they did not care because of the tiny fine print at the bottom that is apparently automatically checked when you put in your credit card information. I am requesting a credit of $39.95. I was taken advantage of.

    Hi 

    Thank you for contacting us. Sorry for the inconvenience that you have. You initially signed up for our 14 day trial on November 17 2023 for the amount of $1.95. This is not a free trial it is a 14 day trial with unlimited access. Once the trial ends you will continue with your active account in our base subscription service for $39.95. This is all mentioned before you pay for the trial. You can cancel your account at anytime. If you do not cancel withing the 14 day trial period you will remain with our base subscription. We have added evidence of the payment page where the terms and agreement are stated and accepted. On December 2 2024 the 14 day trial had ended and the account was not cancelled. On this date you started with our base subscription. On January 2, 2024  when you called to cancel your account it was going to renew the monthly service. It is ever 4 weeks. The agent that assisted you processed the refund that was charged for that month withing our refund policy. We added the evidence of the terms and agreement page that was accepted. We have refunded the last charge and cancelled your account. You will no longer have any charges made to your account.

    I am rejecting this response because:

     

    If I thought I was signing up for a free trial, why would I have paid, at that time, for the pdf editor I used at $1.95?  Your practices,by putting that fine print on the credit card section (again where I thought I was just paying for what I used, is disingenuous.
    In that section of the credit card authorization automatically has a check filled in in the box and is extremely tiny print.  I assumed I was just authorizing the charge of $1.95. This is deceitful and as a result, I would like to be refunded $39.95. Thank you.

    Again, I did not knowingly sign up for any "subscription"! I purchased what I ordered at $1.95.  Your attachment even proves that fact.  It shows what I was being charged for that day.  If I could have gotten it for free under the "14 day full access" why would I have paid anything?  I could have canceled before the 14 days and edited all the documents I wanted.  I 100% feel like I was duped into a subscription.

    To amicably resolve this matter, I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to **** have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    WorkSimpli Software LLC provides a few different online services. I used their resumebuild.com service to update my resume. Once my resume was updated, I paid to be able to download my resume but the site was unable to process my request. I reached out to their office in *********** within business hours yet their office was closed early (I reside in ********** currently, however being born and raised in *************, I am aware of the time difference and accounted for that). I then reached out to customer support via online chat and spoke with *************************** to resolve my issue and they were unable to do so. I decided to cancel my subscription and attempted to delete my profile on the website but they only offer the means to cancel the subscription, not the latter. In addition to this I also attempted to end the chat with ***** however he kept reopening chat despite me actively choosing the option to end the chat on the website. I fear that they have too much access to my personal information and may use it in the future for nefarious reasons.

    This company is a scam on pricing of product service and use. It reference free, but there is a catch for converting PDF to Word Document, once you begin to download, it charges a fee of $1.95, one-time fee. November 26, 2023. In addition, I did not sign up for a subscription of $39.95, $12.95 or $6.95. This company tried to get money from my card five times prior. Even when I called the week of December 11th 2023, with a complaint, stating I did not sign up for a subscription. I did not receive an email of receipt for a subscription, and I did not sign up for a trial. The customer service representative argued with me and was rude. Just today, on December 21, 2023, this company tried to charge my card again for $12.95 and $6.95, making it the seventh time. When I spoke to the customer service representative last week, I requested to be disenrolled, because I did not enroll myself. She did not.

    Hi, 
    I'm sorry to hear about your experience. All of our services are on a subscription basis. We have worked really hard to bring more functionality to our product to offer the best service for you. The option we currently have as a free one time is our "Delayed" Option. You will have to wait 24hr for one document converted to word, free of charge. Or pay for our 14 day trial (for $1.45 or $1.95) to get your file immediately, depending on the plan you choose. The $1.95 option gives you full access and unlimited conversion for 14 days. The option you selected was our trial for 14 days for $1.95. the account was never cancelled.If no cancellation or change of plan is made, then you move over to our auto-renewing base subscription plan for $39.95. Your account was never charged after the trial the charges where voided. We have added evidence of the voided charges. We added evidence of the terms and agreement that was accepted before you paid for the trial.  We added the email that was sent with the information of your account and your subscription. You can contact us through our online chat on our website, email ********************* or call us at ************.
