C-Date Premium membership

I subscribed to a trial period for C-Date as it was advertised as a legit and successful dating site. The initial trail fee was £2.80 but as I went through checkout I was charged £9.90 this was the first red flag. Upon accessing the platform, it became immediately obvious the accounts are fake and the whole thing is illegitimate. As I was annoyed at the misrepresentation of the website I sought to cancel my membership. Section 6. (2) of their terms and conditions clearly state fee-based members can cancel their subscription with a refund if the withdrawal of contract email is sent within 14 days. They have a free template on the website to use, which I did on the same day of subscribing. However, after reading reviews it became apparent that this was a scam and the countless other victims all said they tried this step with no success. They all say they eventually get charged obscene fees and have debt collection agencies harassing them for unpaid fees. I immediately reported this website to UK Fraud & Cyber crime and reported it to my bank, but I now worry I am stuck in something I cant get out of and that is only going to hurt me

16/11/2020 - signed up for Cdate premium membership to find out the whole website is a fake. Was immediately overcharged upon signing up (advertised at less than £3 for one month subscription/trial, was charged £9.90). After these 2 red flags I did research on trust pilot and found hundreds of anecdotes exactly the same as mine, calling the company a huge scam. Apparently C date do not let customers cancel or withdraw their subscriptions even though their terms and conditions CLEARLY state they can, and end up charging people obscene fee's for nothing and involving debt collectors to intimidate people into paying for nothing. I have emailed c date with no response, and sent a letter clearly expressing my desire to withdraw membership As per their terms and conditions but am worried I am going to get slapped with a bill for a complete scam. I would very much like C date to confirm that my subscription is cancelled immediately and no further charges will be incurred.

Resolved

Cdate have now emailed me (service@c-date.co.uk) to inform me that my subscription has been cancelled and will naturally expire on 16/12/2020 and will incur no more charges. I consider this a satisfactory resolution to the issue and believe the matter to be resolved

C-Date Subscription

I downloaded this app probably went on it twice and deleted it. I believe it to be fake and useless but then you can't cancel your subscription or get intouch with anyone and then I receive a letter through the door off CMS global collection service that I owe C-Date 188, 49 EUR! For 3month subscription that I haven't subscribed too! It's absolute joke this website needs shut down!

C-Date Charge reimbursement

On the 14th. October 2020 c-date.com posted a charge to my credit card of £GB 119.70. I gave no authorisation for this charge and I have no knowledge of any contract/agreement with the company. I sent an email to "cs@c-date.com", and "service@c-date.com" but they could not be delivered. How do I contact c-date.com directly to resolve this issue? How do I secure reimbursement of the above charge wrongly made?
Regards,

C-Date Cancellation and money demands

They have the worst cancellation requirements ever. Their so-called link to a pdf fails every time. Having emailed a cancellation request explaining that the link doesn't work and requesting cancellation I'm now getting demands for further payments of almost €120 and threats of collection agencies.

I do not owe this money... I cancelled in good time via email. This harassment needs to stop.

C-Date c dat premier membership

I have tried repeatedly to cancel my account with C Date as it does not work and I no longer have any need of it. Despite e-mailing and faxing I have not been able to access the cancellation form nd have not been sent it despite requests. Having signed up for the initial 1 month period, I was shocked to find £119.70 about to be withdrawn from my bank account, despite my attempts to cancel. I have contacted my bank to block all future payments, sent yet more unanswered e-mails and begun seeking legal advice. I see they post messages on here and am hoping they will respond to this. This is a disgraceful practice and I want to stop money being stolen from my account like this.

C-Date Dating app

I have tried to cancel my membership which I did not want faxed and emailed cancellation form and did not tick any box's for continued subscription The website informs me that I cannot change my membership (I want to cancel) as my payment hasn't been processed! Looking at my bank statement the payment has clearly been made! I don't wish to use the site, it is full of fake profiles, with scammers looking to lure people away to other sites to take advantage of them. On top of this the profiles are not of local individuals (unless you view the whole of UK as local!). I am abhorred that the website doesn't facilitate cancellation of membership, due to a scandalous and erroneous statement that you payment hasn't been processed! And it doesn't have a contact email option to write to them.
Now I have a letter from cms (debt collection) for £186.14 euros for a service I didn't use

C-Date Why have I been billed £120 for a service I don’t use?!!

Short story. So during lockdown I was feeling really lonely so I tried venturing into the online dating scene and came across c-date. Never heard of it before but I thought I'd try it. Gave up on it less than half an hour into using it. Bearing in mind this was in May 2020. I completely forgot about the website until October 2020 when I checked my bank balance and realised I had been billed £119.70! £119.70 for a service I really didn't LIKE and a service I don't EVEN USE FOUR MONTHS LATER! They gave me no option to cancel on my device either so basically I've been robbed of £120. I'm a uni student I shouldn't be getting charged this amount for a dating site! All I wanna know is if I can get it back, I feel like I've been punished for my feelings of isolation that I can't help.

C-Date Charged me £119.70 without my consent

I paid for the 1 month service and tried to cancel my membership after a few days. You have to go through hoops to try and cancel anything from the site and you end up back at the same place. I have read lots of people who have had the same issue. Now I have been billed £119.70 without my consent. Give me my refund or I will take it further. This is totally unacceptable.

C-Date Dating Site Academic Singles

I joined this site for a trial of one month to my knowledge. Then they continued to charge me. My credit card ran out so they chased me. There was no way to cancel online which i believe breaches online services and is why i do not feel it is fair that now i have been sent a threatening letter giving me literally days to pay 200.95 euros.
Not only this i googled the site and it has similar reviews and complaints about this and heard it was a scam which is why i did not pay. Please advise

C-Date Payment problem

Hi there. This is jukel. I want to make a report here. When I was trying to make a payment for the c-date subscription for 1 month, my phone screen froze and I found that the subscription has been changed to the 6 month subscription. I lost my money about sgd 200 + and I can't cancel it. Will you help me to change it and return the funds back. Please? Thank you so much! I just wanna have a one month subscription but it change to six month, and now I am so frustrated as I don't have the money to support my daily life.

Below is my c-date contact id and email address:

C-Date C-date cancellation

Against my better judgement I signed up to this site for a trial period paying by my debit card £2.99 (or so I thought!). Look at the site it was soon apparent to me that it was not what I expected and I promptly decided it was not for me. I went to "My Settings" to cancel my subscription. Worryingly there is no option to cancel, the wording saying that "the account setting will be visible in a few days, once payment has been processed" and to "check back later". My card was charged with £11.96 (not £2.99) and 5 days later I still see no option to cancel in "My Settings". Their General Terms and Conditions inform that the cancellation process must be done via an online form - of which there is no link to. I've emailed customer services of my wish to cancel and am waiting for their prompt reply. Meanwhile I have informed my bank (a phone call to card services followed by formally registering the issue with them by completing an online form giving full details) to cancel any "automatic" payments to them that may occur in the future.

C-Date Threatening action

I never subscribed to C-date and know incurred debts. Received a letter today stating pay by 17/09/20 or incur more costs! There is not an English speaking person to talk too and only a fax number. How can you sort this out and I'm certainly not paying therefore you can contact CMS global management services and inform them there is NO debt to be collected. You can also delete me from your list!

C-Date Premium membership

I sent the form in a letter to cancel my subscription months ago, yet have noticed i'm still being charged for the service. This is fruad! This must stop, stop taking the payments and just cancel the membership. I am still being charged the £119 fee.
I read the reviews too late and this is a scam website!
Stop this membership!
This is illegal as I have canceled and you have not processed this. This website is an absolute joke full of fake profiles.
