On the 1st of Jan I received an e-mail telling me I've been charged $29.95 for service up to Feb 1. I do not want or need service. According to them I had some recurring service on by default on my account. I was not aware of this; if I had known I would have had it turned off already. I asked them to refund my money and close my account because I have no use/need for their service. They refused and said it was against their policy. So, now I am stuck paying for service that I don't want or need.
I am out the $29.95 they have TAKEN/charged me.

I fell for eharmony's FREE communication weekend. I signed up and found my mailbox full of men that wanted to communicate with me. However, I wasn't allowed to first of all see what they looked like--an important aspect in determining attraction to me and secondly, when I tried to communicate, they have this little control game where you never actually get to talk to the person without it costing you fees. I just wanted to be able to give the guys my email address and start from there. Its just sucks you in to paying their fees. I am not desperate enough to pay nearly $60 to hopefully get a date.

eHarmony is a real scam and unfair business. I read all the complaints and thought my experience will be different. Not at all! I signed up and created an account to use their free communication weekend advertised everywhere, no way to miss it! I started communicating with some matches, and all of a sudden my account stopped working. I believe they deactivated it as they noticed I had already some communication with members. I contacted customer service and UNBELIEVABLY they just denied existence of the account.
This is totally unfair to me and to the other customers communicating with me. NO WAY I WILL USE SUCH A DISHONEST SERVICE and hope people won't get caught in this. Also, beware of your identity and money with them. The only response I got from them was asking me all details about my identity which is irrelevant, vs. the issue I had with my account.

I had been solicited by SPAM by e-harmony. They offered a free trial. I filled out their interview sheet completely only to find out I was rejected. Could it be that the free trial is fraud? I wonder if they would have turned my money down had I subscribed through the regular channels.
It was a charade and a waste of my time. Time is money. All service industries charge for it.

After two weeks of signing up for the service (a one month agreement) I knew it was not for me, so I turned off the automatic billing. On December 4th I was billed for the month of Jan.; on Dec 5th I called to explain I turned off the auto renewal, but I was told that their system said I did not do that. This made me angry--being told I did not do something I know I did. The CSR then asked me why I waited a day to call; I told her the on the previous day I was at my grandmother's funeral and my eharmony account was not the first thing on my mind. They refused to credit me. I asked to speak with a manager; they told me no. I called my CC company to dispute the charge, then I logged into my account and again canceled my account again! I continued to get matches from eharmony via email. On Dec 20th I emailed them telling them I closed my account and to remove my profile.
December 26, still receiving matches, I called customer service again spoke with Tasha who promised me she would close the account and remove my profile, and I would receive a confirmation via email. December 27 still no confirmation email. I called customer service again and spoke with Olga who confirmed the account was closed. I told her I was promised a confirmation by email and never received it ;she said it was sent. I said I never got it, and she said she had no way to resend it. I am hoping the account is closed for real this time. I do not understand how a company can survive with such horrid customer service!
Economic loss is $49.99 plus tax, numerous calls and emails to eHarmony and American Xxpress to fight the charges, frustration and anger.

I have tried and failed to contact EHarmony.com to stop sending e-mails regarding possible dating matches. I did use their service as a trial, but after one month I found that the matches they were sending me were non- existent. I have let them know I am not interested and was terminating my association, yet EHarmony continues to charge me a monthly service charge for services I have long since requested to stop.I have also tried to recontact them via e-mail without success. This is so frustrating that I am requesting your assistance.

After sending me hundreds of matches and offering me a good deal on 3-month sign up of $59, I decided to try it out. After 2 days of corresponding with matches that they sent, O couldn't seem to sign on anymore; I kept getting technical difficulties on the site. I tried to send e-mails; they kept getting returned--just like they didn't exist. I really thought this was a reputable company; what a joke! How can they get away with this? It's like stealing. I don't even get any more of their so-called matches. Why doesn't someone close them down? You think that because a business has been around for years that it's ok, but I guess you can't trust anyone.
I basically gave money I couldn't afford, and I feel cheated; for 2 days my blood pressure was up because I was so mad--because they took my money, and I didn't get anything in return. I can't even reach anyone.

I have been a member of eHarmony off and on for a couple years. I have paid different rates, ranging from a single month rate to their '3 for 1 deal'. This fall, I had a subscription for 3 months for $59.95. When the subscription expired, I received no notice, and they charged me $59.95 for 1 month renewal. I tried to complain that I wasn't sure I wanted to renew, and if I did, I would expect to receive the same rate I had been paying. SO I was a victim of STEALTH BILLING, as I have labeled it. Of course I could not find their telephone number anywhere on the website...but found it on the net, amongst all these complaints!
I tried using their email first, and got nothing but a form letter response, with an offer for 3 for 1 because I was a loyal customer...(!) Give me a break. This offer is available to anyone, anytime! I sent another email, which was refused, with them explaining they would no longer receive email inquiries outside of their FAQ web page. This led to me calling them directly and explaining that since they charged my card without permission, and at a higher rate, I felt entitled to at least one free month (which wasn't free at all) since I had paid for an additional 3. Of course there was nothing the person on the phone from EH would do to keep me as a subscriber. So they have lost this customer, and I am going to tell anyone who will listen, about their tactics.

I fell for it again!! After several months have gone by and several emails from eharmony stating I could save 50 percent for 3 months, I finally signed up again at $13 per month for 3 months. Well......after only 5 days of using the service (with no new matches) now my password and login name are not working. I can't contact customer service via email because the page says there are technical problems, and there are no phone numbers listed to reach them. This is so frustrating and I will never do this again. I just hope I don't get charged again for auto-renewal like i've been reading has happened to so many others.

EHarmony is an expert at playing on the heart strings of single people and could care less about their matching services. They are in the business of making money up front for services they do not perform--and you are out of luck, time and dignity... and wonder how you could be so stupid. eHarmony is in the business of playing with people's feelings and need for a meaningful connection. Like most complaints I've read, their relationship matching based on 19 deep compatibility issues was pathetic. Some matches I received I had nothing in common with. They seem to discourage you from showing your personality profiles because it is so canned that it's like reading a horoscope in a grocery store tabloid. I had very few matches in the area I lived in and always put that as a priority; I was usually matched with people living on opposite coasts or such small towns in the Midwest, I've never heard of them--and I am living in one of the top 100 largest cities in the US. and established in my career and life.
I found it a little entertaining seeing the enormous number of emails I got from them when I was not a paying customer compared to when I was a paying customer. Total waste of money and a waste of my time, which is money.
But what was worse and I am embarrassed to say, I signed up again for 3 months, in a weak moment due to their constant messages of someone wanting to communicate. Within one and a half to two weeks the matches stopped almost completely. I consistently answered their questionnaires with some rather and then a few matches would trickle in.
I signed up for the three-day weekend. I responded I was having email trouble and would rather talk through eharmony. After all you don't know a person from them clicking on multiple choice questions and answers. I immediately got a close match message from each one of these people. But then one day I met someone from my town; he gave me enough information to do some Googling on him. I thought he looked for real. So at the end of the free weekend I emailed him. Stupid stupid. And this one could actually speak English, and converse. Many of the others could not who asked for my email address. Within a day of my email, I started having computer problems, by the third day I had no less than 7 to 10 viruses attacking my computer and it destroyed my hard drive; one virus searched for personal financial information, and hopefully I can maintain my financial identity and not have it stolen.
It cost me a $1200 laptop, tons of worry and distress. I got one email from the eHarmony guy I emailed outside of eHarmony. He had done his homework though. I have canceled my subscription but cannot get my money back. I have looked for phone numbers that meant something, and and email addresses of their CEO Greg L. Waldorf and President Dr Neil Clark Warren and other officers, to no avail. Buyer beware, it could cost you more than their changing monthly charge. And there is no screening in eHarmony; it is definitely not a safe dating site. And you will still be single after it's over.

I canceled with Eharmony several months ago. I did this for several reasons. One, the matches I had been receiving were terrible. Also, much of who I was had changed after my return from my nearly three year deployment in Iraq. When a person is in a war environment for thirty months, he/she is going to change a lot. I contacted Eharmony to ask if it were possible to retake their questionnaire, because of who I am now. This was a no-go. So, I told them that I no longer needed their services. I logged into the site, unchecked the automatic renewal and sent an email to Eharmony, via their site, requesting cancellation. I called them and requested cancellation. I changed my account so that it would not renew, and I sent an email via their site.
On December 9th, I was charged again. I went to their help site the moment I received the email from Eharmony, informing me that they had charged me again. I used the link that was in their email. Their help service site was down. I was not able to contact eharmony via their customer service, and I was not able to able to obtain a phone number from their site. Again, their help site was down. The next day, approximately 36 hours later, I called Eharmony and tried to get a refund. They stated that I never canceled and that the service was an at-will service, blah, blah. At this point I was pretty hot and I do have to admit, I was not a nice person. They also stated that I did not fall within the 24-hour window for a refund. Now, I was really hot. Keep in mind that I tried to contact them the moment that Eharmony informed me that they charged me for another month. I tried to explain to several of the customer service reps that a person should be able to obtain a refund, especially since their site containing their contact info, was down.
I lost a little money and felt like I had no recourse. However, I just received email informing me that they would credit my account after stating that they would not. You know how I did this? I kept calling their customer service almost two dozen times. When they redirected my number to an answering service, I switched to another phone number. I switched three times and called repeatedly for about an hour. Probably not the best tactic, legally or otherwise, but it worked.

I joined Eharmony on 2 separate occasions at a cost of $59+ for 3 months each. They send you emails on a regular basis wanting you to sign up saying that the longer you join, the cheaper it costs per month. The least amount came with a year subscription paid upfront all at once. But my concern is if you find someone in less time than your subscription, do you get your money back for the unused months? I could not find info on their website that addressed this concern. What a rip-off these people are! As soon as my subscription ended I received emails giving me an even better discount for yet another 3 month subsciption but it had a specific expiration date attached. First of all $59 is not the cheapest rate for 3 months as they led me to believe. A male friend of mine who filled out the Eharmony paperwork but never joined, also gets their email solicitations but HE was offered $14.95 per month for 3 months. This smacks of sexual discrimination. A similar tactic was used by Victoria Secrets offering males less for the same product vs females who had to pay more. They were investigated for this practice. I think the Attorney General should be looking into this as well.
In addition, my male counterpart continues to receive their monthly newsletters to which I no longer receive for some reason despite me having received specific versions of it before. The other thing is, during the free communication weekend, you cannot see the person to whom you are communicating with unless you want to get a subscription. They push the subscription every time you respond to someone. All the while I was a member of Eharmony, I got many matches but a lot of them were completely outside my 60 mile radius that I had set. The 2nd subscription was even worse with me being matched to people over 400+ miles away. I went to the end with only one person to which I sent two emails. After that I never heard from him again. How's that for a success rate? I could also never tell if the person they matched me to was a 50% match or an 80% match and I would have liked to know that. I wanted to know I was getting what I paid for. I have a feeling that some of these people probably were in the 50% or less category since Eharmony was obligated to send me matches for which I paid no matter what level of matching was concerned. That's why they started the flexible matching so they could get away with it. I would never recommend Eharmony to anyone unless you just want to give money away. Yahoo, Santamatch and Craigslist are just as good and at least they are free! I would love to join a class action lawsuit against Eharmony for false advertising because I think they are lying about how many successes they have vs the probably fairly large amount of unsuccesses.

I have contacted many customer service reps, and even a supervisor about this. I have also sent at least 5 emails. They are not delivering on the product. I have not had any matches in 3 weeks. The ones I have had have not been what was asked for. I have called and asked for my money back several times and they refuse to give it back. They just try to talk me into staying or say something like they can give me an extra week. I said, "No, you do not deliver on your product. I want my money back." All they say is that their sorry and it is past the 7 day cancellation. I don't care if it is 30 days, this company is not delivering on the product. I have had no matches for weeks. That is just ridiculous. I want my money back now.
First off it put me out money - $39.88. I want that refunded. It is just a lot of hassle and stress. Now I have to file complaints, etc, just to make an attempt to get it back.

What a rip off e-harmony is! They bombard you with advertising (television, on-line banners, spots on their own website), about their free communication weekend, clearly stating the dates & times that it would be available then without warning, cut it off a day early. When I used my resources to actually locate a telephone number for them (which is NOT available anywhere on their web-site) I was told that the early cut off of the free communication period was a mistake, but the only thing they could do to make up for it was for me to purchase a 3 month membership for the price of a 1 month membership.

Although I was able to cancel my membership online without additional month fees I agree with many of the other comments on this board namely they seem to wait until the last renewal minute to find new matches eand they match non-paying/inactive accounts. After speaking with one of my new matches I realized we had both been members for months (much of the time when I wasn't receiving matcheds). We were all of sudden matched when it was time for me to cancel. Also I don't like the idea that my picture and profile is sent to non-members with whom I can't communicate in the hopes they sign up. (In their about section they actually state this is a reason they match you with non members). If your going to use me or anyone else at marketing bait we should be paid.
But my biggest frustrations and the reason I am writing is eharmony's policy of giving free communication periods. Its free for everyone accept the paying members. Such give a ways causes their system to such down on a regular basis because of the overflow of people. So not only have I already paid for this free time but I am then also not able to use the system. These system unavailabilities happen everytime there is such an offer (and other times for not apprarent reason). If you know your going to have this offer atleast give the paying customers notice so that they can prepare and log on before or GIVE US A PRORATED REFUND!

I wish I found Consumeraffairs.com before I signed up with eharmony. What a waste of money and disappointing experience this was. I signed up for a three-month membership and have two more weeks until it expires. I am now being FLOODED with 'matches' - eight in one day. The only time I had more than one match a week was the first two weeks of signing up. Other than that, I would, if I was lucky have one match every two weeks or so. Needless to say, I have not met one person on this site. It's a SCAM! More than 90% of the time the matches were in-active or of non-paying members who cannot access our profiles. The company just keeps sending these in-active profiles making us think there are so many members and opportunity. Luckily, I caught on early because most of these male matches would not respond. Why would anyone pay good money and not respond at all?
Also, after a while the computer just started sending any random matches my way. I specifically asked for someone who was a certain height or taller, and was sent matches far shorter. I wrote a complaint to eharmony, and they wrote back claiming they only send us active member's profiles. What a bunch of lies. I also told them I would NOT be renewing and the service rep said she took me off their auto renewal. I bet they will try to renew a few more months on my credit card. But I will notify my credit card company and tell them not to let this company charge any additional fees. Be WARNED; save your money!

Although eHarmony boasts of having over 13 million people in it's database, the very first day, after having introduced about six women to me (none were even close to my taste and background) told me that it could not find a single match for me.
Later I got more... but they were just as bad. I am a author, journalist, who spent his life in a sophisticated milieu, yet eHarmony sent me women with bad grammar and little education. Dr. Warren, this self-absorbed Dr. Expert who boasts to have the world's best service, matches a guy who spent his life in intellectual work, with a weaver? A meat cutter? A grocery store clerk? And women whose idea of spending their free time best is watching T.V., and get this: talking on the phone...? This is truly ridiculous.
Then the system does not care about our taste and physical compatability either. I am 5'10 and athletic, yet eHarmony thinks that a 6'2 240 pound woman would be my perfect match...
80-90% of my so called matches posted no photo or personal profile, so it took a painfully long process, days and weeks, before I could even see if there was a physical and personality attraction.
There were technical issues as well. Certain features just never worked for me, and it doesn't seem to be easy to talk to anyone at eHarmony. I spent an hour looking for a phone number on their web site (maybe I am blind..) but in the end I had to go to Google to get it in a split second. Then, I found out that this world's best has only limited hours of service and had to wait until the next day to be able to talk to someone.

After cancelling service, I continued to receive contact from interested parties because EHarmony leaves your profile on their site for people to peruse, and they add this to their claimed number of members! Pathetic!
Upon emailing them at the email address they list on their form letters, and also through their website, I received returned mail indicating that the addresses they provide are FALSE!
So, my profile remains there for all to peruse, and they break the rules of Intenet etiquette by not providing an email address to have yourself removed from their mailing list.

I signed up for one month at eHarmony and opted [in a check box] to only do one month and decide later if I wanted to do it again. One day after the month was up, I noticed a debit on my bank account for $50+. Knowing there was a mistake I called and tried to resolve the matter w/ eHarmony. I was reassured that since it was less than 24 hours since the debit posted and I had called that it would be refunded. BUT I first had to submit a letter in writing by smail mail.

Unfortunately, I mentioned to the customer service person that I had tried them a couple of years ago. He asked me a few questions to assist him in locating the old account and once he found it, he told me that I did not qualify for a refund because I had had a prior account.
I pointed out their terms and conditions clearly stated that if I cancelled within three days, I had no obligation, etc. and it certainly did not mention anything about a prior account disqualifying me from any refund.

I signed up for a free one-week trial with e-harmony. I found that I didn't like the quality of matches I was receiving so I canceled the subscription within the week time frame. When I signed up, I used the Bill me Later option. Lo and Behold, one month after signing up, I received a bill for the services. I called up Bill me Later and they strongly recommend I pay the bill (no way!) while I dispute it with eharmony. No way. After quite a search I finally found the eharmony phone number. I explained that I signed up for a free trial and then canceled. The representative said, we show that you signed up for a free trial AND purchased a subscription at the same time. What!? How is that possible? I signed up for a free trial and was required to either give my credit card information or the Bill Me Later sign up. I had no other choice and she's making it out to be my fault. I was on the phone for 20 minutes with them before they finally agreed to refund the money. So let's review: I signed up for a free week trial for which they require credit card number or sign up with Bill Me Now. I cancel within the time period. They then claim that I signed up for a subscription at the same time I signed up for the free trial. (what!?) They tried to say they would not refund the charge. Though I finally got the charge reversed, I think that's a highly, highly deceptive business practice and I certainly won't be using them ever again.

My kids gave me a 6 month subscription to eharmony.com for Christmas wanting me to find love again. I enrolled in January and by February knew it wasn't worth it since I found out they give people 3 to 7 free days and they send those people to you as matches and because they haven't paid they never can respond so you have 99% who don't every respond to you.
After a friend showed me your site and I read all the others problems I decided to call and ask for the remaining money returned and cancel my subscription. I was told that Eharmony was a Merchant and if I had bought a TV and tried to send it back they couldn't take it back. I tried to tell them they were a service and not a Merchant but any argument I made they had a canned response to it. So I am stuck with it until my 6 months are up and then I will report them to everyone I can find and even make a report on TV to help others not make the same mistake.
My advice is to never pay ahead because no matter how many months you sign up for they will not refund money after 3-7 days and make sure if you want to cancel you do it in writing.

So, I go to the Closed folder and lo and behold to reopen these files requires me to PAY. Ironically, the three matches I sent (supposedly) questions to have not responded at all.

I signed on for a free 7-day trial, after taking a fairly astute personal evaluation. Within 5 days I received some shocking matches (clearly, questions about ethics, morals, and politics outside of sex should have been included in the survey). The men in my age range that seemed decent all wanted to raise Christian children--not an immediate goal of mine, which I had clearly stated. Also, they were remarkably unattractive. There was nothing on which to build conversation.
I called to cancel and was offered several months' extension instead. At that time, I thought, Why not? Now I know why: matches made who 1) never contact, 2) never reply, 3) reply only to bypass eharmony, 4) matches who, damn, are unattractive. Compatability certainly includes things like facility with language and ability to use grammar. "you're pretty" doesn't do anything for me. I met lots of the lower crust. It was miserable, and I lost money.
After several months of loneliness, I heard a commercial for a free 7-day amnesty, free connection. However, the print was sooo tiny and obscure, there was no way of knowing that anyone who had ever received a prior incentive (in order to keep the female stock pond full, I suppose) was not eligible for the free 7 days, so I was chargred another $60 odd. This second go around, I spoke to NONE of them. I think the matches were made soley based on location. it actually hurt my heart that I ever had anything to do with them. I regret it every time I think of their company, and I wish to warn EVERYONE away--be alone and desperate but KEEP YOUR MONEY.

I received no matches until the trial membership was nearly at the end. I signed up for a three month subscription after receiving one match. No pictures, no response from the first match.
Over the past two months I slowly received 24 matches, about two at time. But, very few matches provide pictures or even respond. I cancelled my subscription early within my second month. My match settings in my account were automatically set to no. I did not change this. I reset to yes and changed my credit card information to prevent auto-renewal.

I feel that I am getting the run around becuase they just want money. I have canceled my card and intend to report any later charges as fraudulant. In the meantime I will continue to ask Louise Guerin (Customer Relations Manager) for a solution.

After a long time of filling out a questionaire, I was told I was rejected. Now that I have read other people's woes about the site, I am not so heartbroken. It really made me feel worse than before I answered the questions.
I felt like my self-esteem was lowered to the point that I did not want to live any longer. Now, I feel better but I feel worse for the people that eHarmony did not reject. No one should be allowed to profit from someone else's misfortune.

I joined E-Harmony Only to find that I have gotten only 1 name and no responce from that name in 3-Weeks. I feel that this is only a scam to receive our money. There has to be more people out there than just one. I would like to cancell my my contract and return my money. I am not pleased with the results at all.

I repeatedly received email notices to renew my eharmony account; I did not respond to renew. I received a notice they tried to renew, but were unable to with credit information I had provided - I responded I did not want to renew, they have repeatedly tried to renew since. They do not respond to my email and do not provide a phone number to call to resolve.

eHarmony set me up with a pedophile. I found this information out on my own with very little details about my match & eHarmony's response is pretty much sorry for the inconvenience. I feel violated that I now know a known sex offender and that after 20 relationship levels that the best they can do for me is set me up with a pedophile. I would love to find a legal remedy for my complaint. Sex predators and violent offenders, as well as teenagers and married folk should be considered offlimits on their website. Unfortunately only the latter two are offensive enough to be mentioned in their terms & conditions page.

I have found that this site may show signs of discrimination using their one of a kind harmony profile questionnaire. If you do not answer their questions as they deem acceptable they will send you response basically saying you are not suited for their site. What seems to be the major disqualifier is if you are not "religious" you will be eliminated. I am spiritual but not at all a bible stomping religious person.
The first time I filled out their profile I was honest about that, and I was dismissed. So, I tried again, this time keeping track of those questions centering around religion and convictions, there are many. I again answered them as a good spiritual person but did not commit to being the religious person they seem to prefer. Once again eliminated. I then had a friend fill it out answering the entire religious question the opposite way; she turned out to be a perfect match for eharmony. Isn't this a form of discrimination?
How absolutely discouraging to have to give in and use these sites and then be dismissed by one of them! What’s even more interesting is another friend of mine, with very similar religious convictions was also eliminated until he offered to buy a membership. For an organization claiming to be good, they seem bad!

There is basically no refund policy. Also they basically have no customer service. 100% guarantee is fraudulent in the commercials, it applies for 7 days. I figured I'd try it for a month or two, but then I wasn't getting anything out of it, so I'm opted out of auto renewing. Well at least I thought I did. When I called the number they basically tried to assist me by trying to give me an additional month of service. If you already don't want something, why would I want more of it?
When I asked to speak a supervisor, they basically told me only they could. I'll be glad to get away from this website and warn everyone i know about it. I've never heard of a business operating this way and be rest assured eharmony is a business first. They do not care about people unless it helps they make more money...

My cousin Frances married Tom a couple years ago after emailing him on eharmony.com. I am emailing this on her behalf as she is devastated from this relationship with this man. At the time she met him after her husband died. This Tom has deceived her, lied to her and used all her money left by her previous husband and is now emailing other women on eharmony out of Dallas. She had to file bankruptcy because of him.
She is emotionally distaught and has been told by him that their marriage will not last. He has been showing signs all along but because she was vulnerable and wanted this marriage to work she kept trying. She does not want another woman to go through what she has gone through and needs help. She will be flying home to Kansas today. He has been paying off his credit bills and not paying hers and now his credit is good and hers is bad.

I recently joined eharmony and with great anticipation of meeting my soulmate. In their advertisement on T.V. they claim that their system is the best way to meet a perspective spouse. I gave them $59.95 for a one month membership. To date, I only received two profiles of men that were'nt suited for me. I called eharmony's customer service and they were not helpful. Presently, I feel they are giving false hopes and advertising to a vunerable audiance of genuine people. Is there a way to get my money back for services not rendered?

I spent more than an hour with their questionaire asking extremely persoanl questions as part of their "forty dollar value" personality profile. After they kept and stored this extermely personal information they sent me a messagethat I had been rejected from their service because it would be impossible for them to get a match for me. I think this borders on criminal fraud but if not it is certainly extemely rude. I'll bet the other rejects from eHarmony are very cool people.

I subscribed to a 3 month trial membership for eHarmony.com. About 2 months into it, I realized that it was not for me. So, I decided to cancel my membership. The website gives you instructions on how to cancel it, by logging into your account settings and choosing a "do not renew" button. I did this. However, my account remained open and when my membership was due to be cancelled, they renewed it, instead!
So I thought, I'll just let this month ago. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe I am just crazy and my computer glitched and didn't allow me to cancel it. So this time, I wrote to their customer service and asked them to cancel my account. They said they would close it. I even logged onto the website, and did all that "do not renew" on my account settings again. And lo and behold, a month later, they charge me again!
