      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On April 28th, streaming services ***** and **** withdrew amounts $8.99 and $8.47 from my ****** which is also connected to my Signal Financial account. On the same day, I spoke with representatives from both streaming services and canceled my subscriptions, where BOTH were refunded to me on the same day. I have a record of it on my ******. However, on May 1st, just yesterday I woke up to both amounts being withdrawn from my savings account. On my statement it says ****** transactions but ****** has no recollection of it past the 28th and it still says refunded on my transactions list. So I'm trying to see why Signal allowed the money to be removed 3 days later, and why it hasn't been returned? Also, I've been trying to reach Signal today for over an hour and the member services department has closed the queue and refuse to answer the phone. How are customers supposed to reach a company that is not responsive or responsible? I'm tired of this because this isn't the first time I've experienced difficult to no communication.

      I use paper billing, they never send their statements out on time and then when I pay by check and mail it in immediately I have to keep calling my bank to see if the check cleared, then I have to put a stop payment on the check because they can’t seem to find it and then they charge me $25 late fee and interest. They give you about 10 phone numbers to call, no human ever answers and if one does they can never help you. I’ve been with them for over 30 years and I’ve had enough of their incompetence!
