I wish to cancel this service and they are not responding to my request. Funds are being withdrawn automatically from my checking account.

I cancelled my account at least 3 years ago and they are still sending me matches. And when I tried to take off my photo at first, it said that my photo was their property and I could not delete it! Consequences: very frustrating to deal with them and try to get my account closed three years ago and really aggravating to have to go through this again now. Plus, I am engaged and it would be very upsetting for my fiance if he saw I was still getting matches I'm sure.

I signed up and selected to opt out of auto renewal. I cancelled account in May 2009. I received a charge on my Visa in August, no renewal notice of any kind (they also did not send an email when I cancelled, twice now). I spoke with two customer service reps who informed me that I didn't close my account and questioned my process. I explained I followed their process, but they stated I must not have. I am an E-Commerce person. I implement websites, so am very familiar with opt-in check boxes and cancellation processes. They refused to provide me the $140 refund, but offered $91 and a reduced one month subscription fee for my pain.
I haven't used the service since May. When I spoke with the customer service rep, he said that I only selected not to receive any more communications? I actually was able to log back into my closed account and went through the whole close account process all over again and remember every step of it.
Something is very wrong with this company and I think it's a scam, the way they try to get money from people. I'm willing to talk to an attorney to see if there is enough to file a class action lawsuit. Too many complaints have been filed and personally, I don't like that someone thinks they can steal my hard earn money and hide behind a "legitimate company". It's wrong. Consequences: a charge of $140 towards my credit card, which will earn interest (at the 19% rate).

My eHarmony account was billed through a third-party billing service without my permission. I did not want this renewal nor do I want this third-party (Bill Direct) to even correspond with me. If this matter is not resolved at once, I will file a complaint with the Oregon state attorney general’s office. I will seek to prohibit eHarmony and Bill Direct from doing business in this state and seek legal fees as a result of any action deemed necessary to get them to cease and desist any further attempt to collect any fees on the part of eHarmony.com.

I had a subscription with e-Harmony. I thought I had canceled my subscription and have not logged in or used my e-Harmony account for months. I received an e-mail notice that they were going to renew my subscription. Because they weren't listening to me online and I could not find a phone number to talk to them, I sent them an overnight notice to cancel my subscription. It was received on 8/14 and yet they billed my bank account on 8/17. I'm 63, unemployed and their draft to my bank account caused overdrawn checks, bank fees, etc. I still cannot find a way to stop them - this is just plain unfair. Until I get some satisfaction in the form of reversal of the 6-month fee to my account (done automatically after I thought I turned the entire account off), I am going on a campaign to warn others that they are unethical in their dealings with subscribers.

I cannot contact at all. The problem with the credit card is their problem and not mine. I figured out 2 weeks ago (with Capital One), but the same problem has occurred. I cannot proceed with my eHarmony account because of the credit card glitch. They have to run my card through until it works (this is true), but I cannot possibly reach them by email or phone to converse about it. I wish to withdraw from eHarmony and have 2 payments of $19.95 returned since I never had one exchange with the only "match" I was interested in. I cannot contact the person because I can't subscribe to the phone service because they think my credit card doesn't work. I'm quite tired of the effort, but I would like my near $40 back.

I paid for a short term membership two years ago. I chose to meet several of my matches. I could find nothing in common with any of them. So much for the "29 dimension secret questionnaire"! I even asked a couple and they could figure no commonalities. eHarmony couldn't even match me on my criteria of distance. I said less than 25 miles and have been matched with men over 200 miles away. So, I just recently registered for the free trial to see what's up. Some of the same people showed up as my matches! Two years later and similar or the same profiles, I seriously doubt it! I'm not surprised to find others here who have had the same experience. Major false advertising and slick billing practices that are difficult to stop. After arguing and arguing, I finally got eHarmony to stop my original billing. No refunds for time I did not agree to. My last resort was going to be to cancel my credit card so they could no longer charge me.

I signed up for a three month subscription in February 2009. About a month later, my credit card company called me about a charge for $29.95 that an online media company of some type had been trying to charge to my account. I can't remember their name off hand. I cancelled my credit card. I checked the company out on line and they had a history of stealing credit card account numbers and charging small amounts on a continuous basis. Then, I started receiving "free magazines." I had no idea who was sending them.
Apparently when I signed up on eHarmony, I paid for the subscription first. Then, they have this "real ID" service which is paid "after the fact." In other words, they bill you later. There is a small check box for a charge of $5.95 by "Bill Me Later." I thought eHarmony would be sending me a bill. About a month later, I started getting bills from "Bill Me Later" (P.O. Box 105658, Atlanta, GA 30348, phone # 866-528-3733). I had no idea who they were and thought they were telemarketers soliciting their business.
Today (six months later), I finally opened up their envelope to see what it was. There was now a charge of $69.95 on the original $5.95 for late fees. Apparently, they are one of eHarmony’s 3rd party billers (they act like a collection agency). I called them and they were willing to "work with me" and cut the late fees to $30 if I would give them my bank account number and bank routing number. They said that I'd have to call eHarmony and get them to excuse the $5.95 debt, and then they would drop the late fees. I called eHarmony and they said they could not cancel the $5.95 because it was a "legitimate expense". And they were not responsible for "collecting the $5.95 and that was between the Bill Me Later (which is nothing more than a collection agency as far as I can see).
So, there is no way to clear this up. The only way appears to be to send them a money order that doesn't contain any banking information. But here again they make a huge profit any way you look at it. This all sounds so incredibly dishonest, a kind of money laundering. I want to know if I am legally responsible for these charges. Apparently, my only "safe" way to pay them is with a money order. That way they would not receive any personal banking info. The problem is that it's cheaper to pay their fee than hire a lawyer to fight them. However, today, I am seeing my lawyer for another matter, and I will ask him.
The original charge was for $5.95. They have added six months worth of "late fees" so that I now owe them $69.95. They won't negotiate (cut the fees in half) unless I do an online bank transfer (in other words they have access to my bank account information and routing number). EHarmony won't excuse the $5.95 because they said it's a legitimate charge. I am out $69.95, but I am afraid to pay them for fear that they will keep coming back down the road with more and more bogus charges.

I went online and did the free profile years ago. I was amazed to see that they continue to send matches after all these years and what's amazing is that they are the same matches. I refuse to believe those individuals are still available for me. I have a great memory and I remember that I would go as far as I could on free services to just see if it was worth subscribing to and then those matches would show closed, met someone else. This was to make me think the men were going fast. Well, it was amazing that the same men that closed the communication continued to resurface time and time again.
eHarmony used to show the full name, first and last and where they were from. I used to try and find these individuals via Facebook and other online sites. I don't think they really exist. I think others must have done the same because now, they only give a first name and very vague descriptions. I wouldn't subscribe. I would prefer to meet them free and I think some of the people that have had the experiences of scammers also run that risk because con artists will pay money to meet lonely people and prey on that loneliness. If they start asking for money, run!

I told them a month ago that I did not want my account renewed. This week, I received an email from them telling me that they had extended my membership and that a fee had been deducted from my bank account that I wanted refunded. The response that I received was that if I wanted a refund, I had to contact them by phone during normal working hours. It did not address the fact that my account was renewed against my expressed request. Before their unauthorized draft, my account was listed as closed on their website. Now it is open again and I'm receiving unwanted email from them.

They matched me up with some Norwegian guy who was on an oil rig, off the coast of Edinburgh, Scotland. He claimed to be from Louisville, and threatened to choke me if he ever saw me after I decided to break off the conversation. I also was matched with some guy who claimed to be from fairly close to where I am, who stated he went, I think, with his daughter to Ghana, where they don't take American Express Travelers checks. He wanted me to give him money, and he would send those to me in cash. When I refused to do that, he stopped communicating with me. No real damage, other than the verbal assault by one, but their claim that they thoroughly research the people they hook you up with, is a joke!

I joined eHarmony on June 10th 2009. I paid for 1 month and then immediately canceled the membership so it wouldn't go into automatic renewal, as directed by eHarmony. I was provided with a cancellation confirmation #, which I have. On July 10th eHarmony took an additional month's membership out of my account. I explained the situation to Brady and Jennifer at eHarmony. They said the money had already been taken from my account and it could take a couple of weeks to credit my account. I wanted immediate credit, since they did not have permission to remove that money from my account.

Do not sign up with eHarmony. I was a subscriber for over a year. I was matched with countless guys, but few were willing to correspond. Finally, I caught on. It is free to fill out a profile and try it. But whether they pay or not, they get sent out to people to show a lot of matches. The truth is you can’t correspond with most of them because they aren't subscribed and most of the time they don't even know what is happening. And there are so few wanting to correspond in comparison to other dating sites.
Then, I believe there are fake matches made up on there. I am getting almost no correspondences and I shut off my automatic reoccurring billing. In the next 2 weeks, I have at least 6 guys initiate communication. One I went all the way through and then he said he isn't subscribed, but gave his email address. We emailed a few times and suddenly he disappeared in thin air. In looking at pictures closely and scrutinizing the emails, I am confident he was a fake person and the communication was a marketing set up to get me to stay at eHarmony. Needless to say, I will not, I would never again sign up at eHarmony. They are more interested in marketing than anything.

eHarmony continually e-mails me when I have asked them to stop. They claim there are all the matches for me. However, I was able to figure out they were misleading me. There is no way that all of these matches existed. Who are they, the love connection? Nonetheless, when I don't respond, they send me over twenty matches daily. All lies!

I have repeatedly asked for a refund due to this company not providing the service for which they charged a fee. My emails to their executive branch were returned as undeliverable. Just in the last few days, bogus contacts and matches are now the way in which this company seeks to cling to customers. Since they have attempted this subterfuge with me, I have had enough. I was charged a fee for a service that was not provided. All attempts have been made to resolve the issues through eHarmony. I am genuinely seeking to meet a woman and so far, they have not fulfilled that. I have wasted time and my money. All I ask is for a refund of my money and hope this company will be prevented from continuing their fraudulent misrepresentation to others.

I work with 4 girls that have eHarmony accounts. Even though I closed my account and haven't been active for more than 18 months, all 4 girls have received my profile as a match for them over the past 4 months. At first, I didn't believe it but 3 of the 4 logged on and showed me the match. I have to assume the 4th is telling me the truth too.
I don't know if eHarmony has fake accounts as some have said but I know for sure that they use inactive accounts to make people think there are more people on their system than their actually are. It's a bad system but I understand why they do it. Think about the turmoil there would be if they only sent legitimate matches to people. If started getting only a couple matches sent to you each month as compatible matches joined, everyone would cancel their accounts. Instead, it's easier for eHarmony to just pretend everyone that is inactive is still online and use non-existent people as matches. That way I suspect people will just think their matches are simply not interested.

My problem is with the service itself. I was given hundreds of matches and everyday. Those matches would close on me without even talking to me at all. Out of 6 months, I was only able to communicate with 3 women. I met only two. However, my biggest problem with their service was when I put my account to not renew and low and behold, women were interested in me all of a sudden and they wanted to communicate with me. I paid for one more month to stay on and talk to these women (remember, I went 6 months with only 2 women even giving me a chance) only to find out they were fake accounts. Yes, eHarmony makes fake accounts to keep you interested and keep paying. I know they were fake because all the info was generic, no pic, very little info filled out which is not what anyone else does when they pay money for a service like this. I also did some research and found places that confirmed my experience. This is a horrible business.

As you may know eHarmony is an online dating service. On June 1, 2009, I paid $119.95 for a 3 month membership.

My debit card number was stolen and used to open an account with eHarmony. My bank immediately closed the card and told me to call eHarmony and explain that the card number had been stolen and ask them to close the phony account and refund my money. The stolen number was used for services with two other companies and they were very helpful in doing exactly this. In the first place, it was extremely difficult to find a phone number for eHarmony. They only show a place on their website to submit an email. I finally found a number from a blog of another unhappy customer.
When I finally was able to talk to a customer service rep, they told me that they could not refund my money under any circumstance even though the account was opened with a stolen MasterCard number. When I asked for the name and email address of the person that opened the account with my card, they told me that they had to protect the identity of the thief and refused to give me the information. They refused to help me at all. The thief has rights—what about me? I'm a grandmother trying to put kids through college. I just want my money back! I want to warn others about eHarmony—they don't care about the consumer. They just want your money and don't care how they get it.

I had registered with eHarmony.ca some time ago to see what types of responses I would receive pertaining to matches. Keep in mind, I read some of the complaints about eHarmony prior to registering and did not subscribe to their services. Over a period of approximately 4 months, I did receive some matches which, surprisingly enough, were a very close match to my profile. I then inquired about a payment option. I indicated I do not give out my credit card information over the internet under no circumstances whatsoever. They, Customer Care, indicated they have a gift card plan which I could use if interested. I kept this in mind for future consideration as I was too late to take advantage of the match I was interested in as she closed me off for "other" reasons.
Towards the end of May, I found another match which interested me as well. She sent a communication request to me to start communicating. eHarmony had a special on until then on or about the 5th of June, 3 months for $59.95, which is 3 months for the price of one. I called a customer care rep at the 1-800 # to obtain all the information with regards to the gift card pay plan as I wanted to start communicating with this woman who sent the communication request. I was told eHarmony had experienced problems with the gift card pay plans, especially if it were for myself. They insisted on a credit card payment for my own card or in my case, a third party card.
The way I see it, and this is only in my opinion, $59.95 is $59.95 regardless of how it is paid. A gift card is worth $59.95 and only $59.95. A credit card, on the other hand, can be "milked" of as much as the recipient wants with total disregard to whether it is legal or not. Furthermore, try to recover your losses. A large company such as eHarmony can stall court proceedings for so long that it is not worth the thousands and thousands of dollars one would have invested in trying to retrieve their losses. Consequently, I did not subscribe.
Now, for all those people, or more appropriately, victims of this type of business practice, in addition to going online to voice your experiences and losses, again, in my opinion, and if I were in your situation, I would retain one reputable law firm, gather all who are at a monetary loss from this issue and launch one massive class action law suit against this company. One can't afford to do this on their own though many or all can be pooled together to achieve justice, especially in Canada where this type of legal infraction is not tolerated. Our laws are much different than in the U.S. I must state again, this is only in my opinion, and those involved should seek legal advice from a reputable law firm. In Canada, the voice of many is heard! Good luck to all who fell victim to this questionable business practice.

This business needs to be investigated. I have signed up using their services and after one month, they stopped sending matches. I also believe that the matches they do send are cancelled members. I have only met one person through their system and that is because I tracked him down outside of eHarmony. He is a P.I. in S.D. County and he started investigating them. Once he started that, he got a full refund of all his money. He says that their business trick people into signing up and then ignores them. I believe they have a staff that is instructed not to match people too often to keep people believing that someday they will meet the right person when they do not have any intention of that happening. There is no economic damage other than the fee of $120.00. Someone needs to start a class action suit against this company.

I signed up with eHarmony for three months and used the site regularly and decided to take a break for at least a month. Sending in an email to eH about three days prior to my membership ending, I tried to find out how to end or not renew. They did not respond but did send me a note saying they were charging me for another 3 months. I sent another email, with no response and then went back on their site to try to find a phone number or a way to close the account. Finally by clicking on subscriptions, I found the way. Well, no response from them still and I get more emails. So I go back on and check to see if I can get emails, yes.
So, I find a 1-800 number and ask for the refund and tell them my issue with how hard it has been to communicate with them. They told me I would. I should not have communicated or used the site for the last 30 days during my membership to get a refund of the three months I'm not using. My goodness, what more could I have done? The CS rep was so rude by interrupting me every time I had a reason why they were hard to work with due to finding the close your account. They did not respond to my emails, which were three before this call. What a scam. Now, I can't go back and use the site! Other than the fact that I cannot use their site or that I was charged another $100.00 for three months of service I would not use, I even asked for two months’ refund and would pay this month for the miscommunication, but they would not do anything.

I got a message that my eHarmony account was closed by eHarmony. They did not give me any notice either by email. Why? Then I tried to find customer service to email or a phone number. It is not available in their website. They are totally fake and a fraud company. All you get is FAQ Side and you cannot even put your email for them to respond to you back. My membership fees are gone! I cannot get it back or find someone to call me back. You can search the entire website and you cannot find any number or customer service to help you. Beware of them. They are scam!

I signed up for eHarmony and then was seriously thinking about subscribing. So, I searched the web first to see if there was any 1st user discounts. I found this site of eHarmony fraud reports while conducting my search. I went ahead and signed up to eHarmony since I already had matches. I did not use my card though. I used a prepaid Visa I bought from Walgreens with only enough on it to pay for one month. Later I found someone and I decided to cancel my account.
Well they called me 2 months later saying that I needed to submit another method of payment due to them not being able to run my card. I told them that I had canceled and that they should not be charging it in the first place. They said I had rolled over to another month, but I did not and they would not have let me either if they had of known about the card. I told them that it was a prepaid card and that they were screwed. It was a really great feeling to be able to set them straight and I could not have done it without the help of those who posted complaints here informing me of their prior fraudulent actions. Thank you so much! I paid for a service and they did not get a penny more than they provided me in service.

After canceling my account, I was still charged a six-month renewal. My PayPal account says this is not an unauthorized charge (don't know how that could be) and won't help. Now eHarmony decided to acknowledge my cancellation, which means I can't even access the website to contact them without resubmitting my info and agreeing to the service again, which I bet is the way they are ripping off some people month after month. The longer you try to resolve the issue, the longer they charge you. eHarmony has never acknowledged my complaint, and now I have no way of communicating with them. I will not be sucked back into their money-grabbing scheme again.

I had a negative experience with eHarmony. First off, the website is extremely difficult to navigate. But the most problem is when I paid for my 6-month membership, I received zero matches. I was quite shocked that you cannot browse or contact single members on the site. You can only contact your matches in which I had none. I did not know why this was, so I called customer service and they said I should put stuff like what I drink and other stuff, and I would get more matches.
I decided I had had enough and requested to delete my account with a full refund, which I was able to do since the seven-day trial period was up. However, I did not know what a verifier was and thought I needed it to get more matches. So I purchased the verifier for $5.95 and then after cancelling my membership, I was told the verifier is non-refundable and an added feature, so I got ripped of $5.95. Lastly, I found it lame that you cannot contact a match unless you answer this silly survey first to poke them. eHarmony is false advertising and a rip off.

I have numerous times written to them stating I'm not interested and not to send me anything. I told them that they misrepresented themselves when they advertised their offer on TV about the free offer and it was false. They still keep sending me matches. I want them to stop because I don't want their service as many others do not also. I'm sure there is something from our internet provider that they can send to eHarmony warning them that if it isn't stopped, that charges can be filed against them for harassment.

They have no Contact Us form or number whatsoever. The other problem with them is that they have this questionnaire that asks if you are willing to date someone if they have kids or not. But when you answer no, they still match you to people who have children. Although, they claim they do not do a background check and it is possible that a lot of the people who are online are not honest and will lie. For the amount of money they are charging, they should at least run their business a bit more honestly. If they do not have a Contact Us link, that does indeed mean that they are probably getting a lot of complaints about more than just unfair practices and do not want to deal with it. By having liars on their site makes for wasted time and lining their pockets with costly monthly charges and this is not fair. There are a lot of good people out there who are indeed looking for love, but eHarmony is not really interested in that.

When I contacted customer service asking for a prorated refund, they said no, and give it more time, expand search area etc. I had already done this, even went global for match search and still no real matches. I always send icebreaker or photo request before I close someone and got not even a look at my profile.
These many potential matches and only 4 have even looked at my profile? They can't possibly be valid matches. EHarmony is shooting blanks to my match inbox. This is a complete waste of money. Now after reading other complaints, I'm worried that they will charge my card after my membership ends. I already requested to not re-new it and they said that wasn't a problem.

I signed up for one year with eHarmony on 6/29/2008. They charged me one year subscription in 3 credit card installments. After six months, I cancelled my membership and they refused to give me a refund.

eHarmony increased my fee in the middle of my subscription without my permission. I have not been able to find a phone number. It appears you can only email them. I would recommend you file complaints with the Better Business Bureau and your state's attorney general's office if you have also had problems. I was charged a higher rate than I agreed to.

I joined eHarmony, that was the 1st mistake. I was charged $50 for an auto-renewal that I had not authorized or requested. I paid for 1 month of service and they auto-renewed my account w/o notifying me. I found the transaction on 10/16 and called eHarmony. They told me that they made the withdrawal on 10/14 and I had 3 days from that date to request a refund but still refused to give it to me. The real issue here is that they send a notification email about the withdrawal on the SAME day they withdraw the fee, that's how they get you. They withdraw the money then after that, they send you an email stating the money is withdrawn and if you do not see that email within 3 days of the withdrawal, you're screwed! So, that said eHarmony is good for one thing if you want to get screwed! Go to adult friend finder it's free....

I am sick and tired of the ridiculous commercials from eHarmony.com. I am convinced that they pick the strangest, most annoying people to help them advertise. If there was ever a chance that I would sign up with eHarmony, it went straight out a 80th floor window when I saw just one of their commercials. THEY ARE DISGUSTING!

I signed up for a trial membership to e-harmony back in 2007. I thought my subscription would expire automatically but found out that they were debiting my account for almost a year without my knowledge. They charged me for series I was not receiving for a total of about $450.00. It's Oct 2008 and I have not accessed their site since 9/2007. We'll see if they will refund me or not. If not I am going to take them to small claims court!

I believe I received bogus matches as I too got way too many people who 'stop to smell the roses'. I mean this site is being sued for not being gay friendly and how many heterosexual men say that. Also, I receive matches that immediately closed the account either when I contacted or before I could. When I cancelled, suddenly I had matches... Someone start a class action as I believe this is calculated fraud.

I joined this service for one year, tried to cancel and they would not let me. I will keep the service but not use it. I specified that I would like to meet people 50 miles from me and I keep getting matches from people in other states not my own. After reading the posts on this site regarding the auto renewal, I tried to delete my credit card information and the site won't let me. I have paid in full and should be able to remove this information. My account status is closed with a date of February 2009. I would like the credit card information removed to avoid an auto renewal and for me to not have to worry about this site again. Other businesses allow you to remove credit information. Do I have to close this account number to prevent this issue?

This site is a match site (literally). A person would have better luck at a bar. The public should be informed. When a person lies about a certain way he/she is; she/he will be matched with an unsuspecting (innocent) person. THEY DO NOT DISCLAIM THIS FACT! I have been matched with a few, uh, call girls, for lack of a better word, through eHarmony. Buyer Beware. I had great sex. Sorry for being blunt, but I wanted to meet a companion, not call girl(s).

I opened a eHarmony account on 9-19-08 my bank account was charged $179.70 for a six month subscription. After 4 days I was blocked out of this account and told I never paid this account or filled out their profile. I had my picture posted, I had my profile completed and was receiving matches and had conversations going when this happened. Now eHarmony says they can't find the payment made from my bank account and will look into this further. This was supposed to be a good experience but has turned into a nightmare.
I am out $179.70 and I have spent three days with e-mails and telephone calls and being on hold and being hung up on and back on hold.

Eharmony promised to match me with compatible matches and the matches should have been within the requested mileage of my profile.
I have only received 2 matches within 2months. And one of the matches were not within the 50mile radius that I stated. Everyone is from other states which I defintely stated in my profile that I was not interested in long distance matches.
I would like to cancel my membership, but of course there is no customer service number to contact.
This is a ripoff. I paid money to be matched with singles locally or within 50 miles, yet I have not received any matches that line up with my profile.
What's EHarmony's excuse for taking my money, but providing any service.

I was depressed and decided to try eHarmony to find someone so I wouldn't be alone and down. After a couple of weeks and a very dark moment precipitated by the rejections at eHarmony, I realized that I didn't need to date to be happy. I am perfectly fine all by myself. I contacted eHarmony to request my account be changed from an annual account to a monthly account so I could then cancel. I am willing to pay for what I used but do not want to pay for what I am not going to use.
eHarmony refused my cancellation request and promptly told me how to use their service better. I don't want to use their service. I want to be left alone and I do NOT want to be charged an unreasonable amount.
I am a single mother trying to keep my house in this tough mortgage market. It was a poor choice to make; I only did so because of my being so incredibly down. Had my mind been in the right frame, I would never have made the purchase. Now I am extremely stressed that eHarmony has exercised such predatory business practices and is being unreasonable in enforcing such harsh terms of service. They say they told me my money was completely unrefundable but I honestly didn't see that. Even if that is the case, it's unreasonable to expect a consumer to pay for something they are not going to use. I was willing to pay for the portion I used as I felt that was only fair.
I was within thirty days. eHarmony only allows 3. That doesn't seem right, fair or in any othe way a good business policy. I am currently considering the news paper and media to bring this horrific situation to light so others will not be caught by this company. They prey on the weak and refuse to work with customers in a reasonable manner.

I joined eHarmony.com many months ago and have not been given a match in the county I live unless the person is well into their late seventies(I'm 65). I specified a reasonable distance as within thirty miles and they keep sending matches from several hundred miles away to ones from thousands of miles. This was a complete ripoff and I would like to discontinue their service. There is no way to contact them and I'm afraid when my six months is up they will ****** another $179.00 from my credit card.
The only damage suffered for me is the loss of money I could put to better use. I'm not hard up for a date. From their false advertising claims I assumed they would find someone who would be very compatable who lives in a reasonable radius. If anger at being ripped off and the frustration with them count as damages then count me in.

I was single for 33 years. My mother died and I had no children. I got very lonely and decided to try a dating service, i.e., EHarmony because of their supposedly being so careful who is allowed to join. I met a wonderful man. He was No. 1 for me on the EHarmony and I was something like No.34. We got married and he has physically and mentally abused me. He hit me so hard one night that I was in ICU for 4 days with a sub-dermal hematoma. Do I have any recourse against a husband for what he did. By the way, our marriage has never been consummated. I am also being seen by a psychiatrist and an analyst for the damage done to me (depression).
I had never joined a dating service prior to EHarmony. I thougt they checked out their members.
