  Website does not state certain policies clearly. $52.29 Total amount paid. I suppose it could be considered problematic or misleading advertising on their website/order pages. See desired settlement below.

  Good day,

  We have looked into this customer's case and we can confirm that they were offered to return their Tractive order for free. No shipping costs were charged to them. 

  This has also been communicated to them via assistance request #*******

  Best,

  I originally bought 3 dog tracking collars. I thought I was pay as you go. I did not realize that I was auto charged 3 times separately either. One tracker stopped working over a year ago and is even titled 'Arya's lost tracker'. I saw a payment sent in March but I haven't been able to use this in more than a year. They can see on their records that the device has not had a charger 1 year and 2 weeks because it stopped after I got rid of the third dog 2 years ago. I'm not asking for a refund for the other payments for the other devices (even though one runs through 2028). Just the one that has not worked. I have since cancelled the service because their tracking is not accurate anyway. It says my dog is across the street when she's inside my house. Again, not asking to be reimbursed for that one. Just the one they can see hasn't been working. it's a shame they still auto charge people when they can clearly see that it's broken.

  Good day,

  After carefully looking into this customer's request, we have to confirm what we already explained to them via assistance request #*******. They have 3 Tractive subscriptions that have now been canceled as per their request (this means they won't be renewed further). However, they are requesting a refund beyond the 30 days provided by our terms and conditions. All our subscriptions are automatically renewed and this is communicated during the activation process. Customers can cancel their subscription at any time (disable the recurring option) on their own and they can request a full refund within 30 days from the activation/renewal date. 

  Best regards,

  I am rejecting this response because: their system clearly shows that one tracker has not worked in over one year. It did work, when I got it, but not after and I should not be charged or punished because I assumed the other charge was for the other two devices. I am not seeking refunds for those. And THEY did not cancel the subscription, I DID
  
  Sincerely,

  I got charged by this company and never ordered from them! The charge just showed up!

  Business Response

  Date: 04/16/2025

  While we am sorry for any misunderstanding, we can assure Mr. ****** that we do not charge users without their consent, and it's actually impossible on a technical level for us to charge anyone if they've never ordered from our website. 
  
  That being said, we'll certainly help investigate to the best of our ability. We've looked in our payment and ordering systems and have not found any charges/orders associated with either the name or the email address with which the complaint was made, but will reach out for further investigation.

  I have now submitted at least 3 requests in the last 2 weeks concerning an issue, which is that the batteries in both of my dogs' trackers died and I received no notifications at all, either by text or email. I have not gotten a response and I am beyond frustrated with this company. I haven't even been getting an email confirmation from them stating they have received my requests. If the product doesn't work properly, I have zero faith that if I ever had to track my dogs if they escaped, it would be useless!

  I have been trying to resolve on going issues with a defective tracker collar device and *********** that does not work well in our area.They said there was nothing they could do about it because we live in a rural area with bad internet service. And their collar device broke.I have been writing them since last year! And they did not solve any of my problems and only gave me generic, unhelpful answers. I was told this would NOT be automatically renewed and on March 18th 2025 they charged my credit card two charges of $143.55 for total of $287.10.I feel I have been greatly taken advantage of and I want all of my money back. And this service canceled once and for all.

  Business Response

  While we apologize for any misunderstanding and undue frustration that Ms. ****** has had with us, as it is never our intention to take advantage of our users, we find it prudent to address a few points:

  1. Help from our team: Before today, there were two separate tickets, once in March 2024, and later in September 2024, where Ms. ****** reached out to us. In the March ticket, we informed Ms. ****** that low cellular connectivity in her area may have affected her tracking experience. After this explanation, we did not hear from Ms. ****** again until September, in a ticket where she mentioned that one of her trackers worked, but the other did not. We offered troubleshooting tips, specifically advising her to take a test walk with a tracker and report back the results for a technical analysis on our end, but we again did not hear back from Ms. ****** until today, in late March 2025. We offered assistance to the best of our ability and our understanding of the situation. 

  2. Cancellation request: Only now did we explicitly receive a cancellation request from Ms. ******* prior to March 2025, we were unaware that she wanted this action to occur. Had we known, we would have stopped the auto-renewal action from occurring. We did not communicate to her in any previous correspondence that auto-renewal would not occur, but we will address her concerns in a personal email.

  Product never worked. Kept leading me on telling me they could get it to work till my 30 days ran out and no return. Wont communicate with me anymore.

  We apologize to Mr. ***** for any undue frustration; it was not our intention to leave him hanging, but we did enter a weekend period. We are in contact with Mr. ***** now and attempting to offer troubleshooting to see if we can come to a resolution. However, should the troubleshooting recommendation not produce a resolution, we are able to work with Mr. ***** to find a satisfactory ending, as Mr. ***** reached out before his 30 day refund window was up.

I emailed since there is no number to call but nobody responded. All I want to do is get the subscription cancelled please and get my money back. You will see it wasnt used (no login or movements attempts on the account) thank you

  We appreciate Ms. ********** reaching out and will get back to her regarding a solution. We typically provide prompt responses to any inquiries, and it should be noted that we don't have a record of any email nor attempt to cancel the subscription in the months since the renewal; that being said, we will contact Ms. ********** to discuss potential options, as her satisfaction is important to us.

  This pet tracker was a Christmas gift a year ago. I assembled the tracker collar, activated it ($100 at the time) and placed it on my cat. It constantly loosened and needed to be retightened until the tracker fell off. The tracker indicated its location but it was unretrievable and then lost power. Tractive sent me a replacement but the subscription was even MORE expensive and I chose not to take the risk of another lost collar. I am being asked to renew my subscription. I've tried to cancel it, a search indicates an "easy" way to do it on the subscription site but no avenue exists for cancelling a subscription. The only option is "Pause" which means I am indentured to the company for a tracker no longer in service or perhaps in existence. and a replacement that sits in a box. There is no customer service number, only a messaging option on their site. The company will not let you speak to a person, no phone number is listed anywhere on their site. They sent an email that someone will contact me and provided irrelevant solutions to the problem. I would like to get this subscription cancelled without delay or attempts to keep me as a customer. The Tracker Collar ID is EUZFXRKS.

  Hello,

  We double checked this request and we can confirm this customer's subscription has been terminated as per their request. They also received confirmation of the termination of their subscription via email. The confirmation was sent yesterday to the email address *****************************. We can confirm that no further payments will be charged to this customer, since their subscription has been terminated.

  Best regards,

  The product I purchased a subscription for has a failing battery and the company would rather say that it's within specs and tell me I'm hallucinating rather than try to find a solution. I don't appreciate that or having my experiences censored because tractive has some kind of deal with ******? I honestly don't know but it's impossible to review to warn people that customer service refuses to provide support for a defective battery and makes claims that it's within it's advertised range of how much it's "allowed to fail" before they care as opposed to being helpful and and explaining what battery to replace it with or offering a replacement themselves. I literally can no longer use the product that I have over a year subscription left for because the battery no longer lasts up to a week like it used to and I don't appreciate when I tell them it's down to 2-3 days that they don't think that's a problem.

  Business Response

  Date: 02/11/2025

  While we apologize for any frustration he may have experienced, it should be noted that several troubleshooting tips and recommendations were provided to Mr. ******** including setting up the tracker's Power-Saving Zone, which would significantly increase battery life. Regardless, our team will reach out again to explore other solutions to his hoped satisfaction.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  Nothing has been solved, it should be noted that the troubleshooting tips failed to acknowledge the fact that the battery is failing and tried to tell me that it was not.  I do not appreciate this kind of behavior from tech support.  I don't believe contacting me directly will do any good at this point as I have already given up on their product and I'm not interested in hearing the same excuses again, just leave it on record that this company cannot stand behind their product and would rather gaslight their customers than assist them in any meaningful way.

  Fought 2 of the collars and white come to find out you cannot do the monthly $5 plan that they advertise. You have to pay for a premium and be build annually for it. Which comes to about a $150 now, if you have more than one collar and more than 1 animal like I do comes about $316. Now, this is false advertising as it advertised for cheap monthly plans. But there is no way around it!!

  Business Response

  Date: 01/28/2025

  While we are sorry for any misunderstanding, it should be noted that we do not advertise a subscription plan that runs at $5/month. If Ms. ****** visits our subscription plans page at *********************************************, she can see that we explicitly write "billed annually" or "billed every 2 or 5 years;" the monthly rate above is purely to illustrate savings that depend on the plan one picks.
