In the summer of 2009, I rented 1 medical terminology book and 1 physiology book from Chegg. I continued to rent the books in the hope I could rent to own the books. Because I had already paid more than the value of the books by December 2009, and due to a misunderstanding about renting to own my books to own, I was informed by one of Chegg managers in Dec.2009 that they would make an exception and close my account and mark the books as purchased.
The customer service agent did not follow through, and I received yet another email and phone call telling me my books were over due and my account would be charged for further rental fees. I called Chegg again and asked why my account had not been closed and the books marked as purchased. I was told by this agent that she would take care of it.
About two weeks ago, I had more money taken from my account for, yet, more rental fees on the books. I called Chegg again and talked to Guadalupe customer service agent and Corinne a manager. I was informed that they would be closing my account and marking my books as purchased, but they did not, because Feb 1, 2010, I received yet another email telling me my books were over due, and I would be charged rental or late fees if I did not return the books. Feb. 2, 2010, I called Chegg for the 7th time and a Jamaican manager stated, she would personally deal with my account and closing it out. I was informed she would email me a statement stating my account is closed and the books are now marked as purchased.
I have not received that statement as of yet. Feb. 3, I received a call from a woman at Chegg telling me that my books have not as of yet been marked as purchased, but they are in the process. I have now had to call my banks and claim fraud, plus also place blocks against Chegg charging my bank credit cards again, in fact, I have cancelled my bank credit cards! This is truly an inconvenience. Do I think that Chegg will close my account as stated for the 8th time. No, no and no! I will probably get, yet, more email telling me my books are over due and bank credit cards are going to be charged yet again, but I am lucky I have cancelled them. I should actually sue Chegg for the mental anguish. I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get them to finally close my account as 8 customer service agents and managers told me they would, but have thus far not done it!
Next time, I will just take out a loan to buy my books from my local book store. I have never experienced such horrible customer service in my entire life! Stay tuned, as I may have to come back here yet, again in 2-3 days to tell you that Chegg has not closed my account or marked my books as purchased.
