Reviews and Complaints

May 19, 2023

After signing a petition, you are asked to "Chip in" with a contribution. If you can't or don't want to chip in, you can click "Can't contribute right now.".

A new window opens asking you to Share the petition. At the bottom is " Skip For Now"

When you tap "Skip For Now" you are frozen at that window and can't go anywhere nor log out nor look at other petitions or go back.

I found a petition which had numerous falsehoods about me and my business. I mentioned it to change.org and they refused to do anything about it. However, they eventually took my petition down without giving me a reason or any warning. I ended up losing thousands of dollars in property as a result of the libelous statements made in the petition they won't' take down and although their website mentions that one way to counter a petition which is offensive is to publish a rebuttal petition. However, I was denied that opportunity.

Also, any donations are pocketed by change.org. It's not like other sites in which you get most of it after the fee is taken out by the service hosting your fundraiser, campaign or petition.

I've tried several times to sign this petition: G7 Leaders: Expel Iran's Diplomats / Demand that Political Prisoners Be Freed.

The site is asking me for £4, when I say I can't pay this (I don't understand why they're asking me for money), they ask me to share a link. I don't have any social media (I'm 65) except Tiktok so I copy the link but I can't share it.

The site will not complete my signature for this petition.

Is this extortion?

Are they trying to make money from the situation in Iran?

Change.org is practicing unfair and unethical business tactics! They removed my petition without informing me or providing any reason. Change.org is apart of a cover up to violate US Code 1520a and is working with goverment agents to deny me my right to freedom of speech about un consented CHEMICAL TRAILS THAT ARE BEING SPRAYED ABOUT OUR HEADS! CHANGE.ORG IS USING Discrimination against me and my Legal & Lawful Petition!

I wanted to donate 25 Brazilian reals on 25/08/2020 to a cause to help Tourist Guides in Búzios, Brasil receive emergencial money and I was charged 25 BRITISH POUNDS, being 185 Brazilian reals.
This has completely ruined my week´s earnings. I haven´t even managed to earn that this week. I would never have donated such a lot of money.
Transaction ID is 77c15f611d7939.
This situation is completely ridiculous. I don´t earn much and the 25 reals was already a generous offer.

I live in Brazil, work in Brazil, earn in reals and was using a Brazilian credit card. There was absolutely no reason to charge me in pounds.

I want all of my money returned to me and my name taken off the petition.

Thanks,

Alexander Reddaway, Rio de Janeiro

I am an admin for the Sanditon Sisterhood campaigning for Sanditon season 2 on TV. I am very concerned about the petition started by Isabel King on your website as she is not part of our group. Fans have complained about the fact that they did not realise that a subscription they are being asked for, is NOT going to our fund at all. We have a gofundme campaign. Also, supporters are being encouraged to use multiple email addresses to sign the petition which is artificially inflating the number of genuine supporters.

It is clear that the petition is encouraging fraud, knowingly or unknowingly, which will damage our good reputation and also is using the platform to encourage fans to part with funds which they believed were meant to be for the Gofundme Campaign.

We would be grateful if the petition and the creator, Isabel King, could be investigated as we have not authorised non members of our group to start any of the Sanditon petitions for the above reasons, and for the peitions to be removed from your website.

I received a $20.00 charge to my Citi Credit Card on 12/8/19. Please tell me what this is for as I do not recall giving my credit card not do I have a receipt of my doing so from your company.

I need to confirm this is not Fraud as the Card used was closed right around the time this charge being made.

Please advise. [protected]@gmail.com

change.org makes it impossible to cancel a subscription. Since May, I have been trying to cancel my subscription. I've requested countless times to reset my password so I can log in and never receive the reset email. There is no phone number to be found. My next step is reporting change.org to my bank as fraud and having to change account numbers. Unfortunate.

We posted a petition for the students of Olentangy Oranges High School to have a voice of all the stolid the Mr. Battistone has done to them saying for him to be removed from those school for verbal abuse and abuse of powe! They get get over 500 signatures in lest then 24 hrs and Choice .org allows the school to day they are being bullied and and takes it down and shuts down their voice. Choice . Org
Choose to take it down in less the 24 hrs. Choice.org said they took it down when a school district says someone was is bulling their staff they didn't even look at it, they just took it down and it didnt even follow their criteria
For bullying and I can't get the information back.

Why did you take money out of my account without my permission? I expect a refund as quickly as it was taken out! I am outraged! I have not donated anything to you! I've done my research and you are far from a nonprofit organization! You prey on good hearted people that work hard for their money, by making them believe they are giving money to a good cause, when infact you are nothing more than scam artists!

This is the second time that you guys have withdrew money outta my account without my authorization. Now I will dispute the charges again & I will be closing my account. Who the hell do you think you people are. I work to hard to just have people take it from me. I also will be talking to a Lawyer about identy theft. I have never given you any permission to withdrawer money out of my account so you did it illegally. Plan on getting a email from my lawyer seen as how very convidentianly we can not reach you by phone. You guys are nothing but a bunch of [censored], I am just sick about how you did this to me again. Well this time you will pay dearly.

change.org allows to sign a petition a few times. It collects multiple votes from one person for each petition this person signs. The website dosn't recognised multiple votes. And I think it is not bad programming but scam. You can't remove or modify you newsletters. You get again and again an invitation for signing the petitions you already signed. IT IS SCAM!

Never, ever, ever sign a change.org petition. The next thing you know, you're getting stacks of their spam, and there's no way to unsubscribe. The "unsubscribe" link only goes to a sign-up page, and there's no way to contact the organization. The "contact" link is also a dummy. All you get is a list of FAQ's that take you in a circle. In short, it's a swindle.

I just found out this is a private "for profit" site. It appears that many of their so-called victims are professionals. What brought this to my attention was a supposed victim of the actions of Wells Fargo here in Oakland. A quick online search showed the "victim" was a "professional" borrower and not a victim. That made me delve more deeply into this web site. Not sure where the site got my email.
