JustAnswer Fix it

I have never heard of this company until I saw the money £35.0 taken out of my account. I asked for a refund, now they want to put me through to an expert to solve the problem. But say I have to pay £5.0 which will be refunded which A. I don't believe and B. not going to give my bank details, again, for a company I have never heard of and could be fraudsters about to take thousands out of my account. So unless you refund my £35.0 within 24 hours, I will make an official complaint through the financial ombudsman

JustAnswer Credit carded misuse

To Whom This Concerns:
I am William C. Jones of 1198 Bob White Avenue in Springdale, AR 72764
My credit-card is being misused by someone other than me and I am the lone signature. The JustAnswer charged my ARVEST credit-card the amount of $46.00. I did NOT, to the best of my frail 84 year old mind sign up for this and I require this amount be paid back into my account, Unsubscribed and delete my name and email address, et al as soon as possible.
Thank you for helping me out of this situation!
P.S. I am subsisting on Social security of $703.00/month and I really cannot afford this price each month, as Food, Meds, rent, etc et al, come first!

JustAnswer Unethical behaviour

On July 8th 2021 I paid a £5 online fee by debit card for a brief consultation with the JUSTANSWER (UK) company. I had been stranded abroad and returned to the UK to find an unsolvable problem with my WhatsApp account.

I left the JUSTANSWER chat without any knowledge whatsoever that I had signed up for an ongoing £35 monthly payment. This amount has now twice been taken from my account (July 8th, and August 12th) before I realised today (19/09/21).

Since that first and only consultation in July I never again contacted JUSTANSWER. Neither did JUSTANSWER communicate in any way again with me, neither about the payments they were taking.

I respectfully request that these two payment be refunded to my account and await your speedy reply.

If I do not hear back from the company in a reasonable time I am afraid that I will have to take legal advice in order to take the matter further.

Sincerely

SH

Desired outcome: Refund of £70

JustAnswer Applied to be an expert

I applied to be an expert with JustAnswer and went through a whole identity verification process. That was approved. I figured they would contact me with more in depth questions since the application only let me type in information on 2 degrees without room for more nor professional references. I am quite educated with a lot of experience. Instead of being contacted for more information I got an email that JustAnswer would not be moving forward with my application. I wrote to them for an explanation but got no answer. It sounds fishy to me.

Desired outcome: I would like to be an expert on JustAnswer and I would like to know why they rejected my application.

JustAnswer A trial offer

I was online with them and received no help at all, then I received a text about a trial offer and if I did not want this text, STOP, which I did, now I have received a bill on my credit card $5.00 for the trial and $39.00 for a months service. I called them, they were very rude and told me that their policy is NO REFUNDS but they would cancel any further charges. I told the agent I wanted a refund, she said I'm hanging up you and she did. I am now trying to dispute the charges with my bank, I just hope nobody will deal them at all to me it's seems to be a SCAM

Desired outcome: My charges refunded

JustAnswer Enrollment

My elderly mother was charged unknowingly for your service - . the service you say you provided was fraudulent. she searched for bose service and spoke to a rep who said they represented Bose. This is not the case . She called today to inquire about money removed from her bank account for two months. after speaking with Joy at customer contact, she assured us the escalation would be reviewed. I asked for her supervisor and nothing - we were given standard responses for this issue and as I research and review this fraudulent service online I see this is common - refund the money to her account. We are filing a complaint with The FTC federal trade commission as well as reviewing options for representation in court.

Desired outcome: refund july and august @ 92.00 [protected]@gmail.com

I have had to cancel my VISA card to stop more payments being deducted. I seek repayment of the amount of $42 improperly charged to my VISA card on 9 August 2021.

Desired outcome: Refund of payment of $42 improperly deducted from my VISA card on 9 August 2021

JustAnswer Ask me health query

I used your website to get advice on my wife's kidney infection. I was asked to submit a payment of £5.00 which I was happy to pay. I then received an email confirming receipt of the money but was surprised that I had also been deducted £38.00 for a "membership fee". I did not ask to become a member of anything and then I checked my bank account to see that the two payments had been dedusted totalling £43.00, To me this is a cynical exploitation of people who have a medical complaint. Please refund the £38.00 deducted from my account as soon as possible. If it is not received forthwith I shall take the necessary steps to ensure that it will be.

JustAnswer Unauthorized credit card charges

On 25/06/2021 I asked a question on Just Answer and paid 5 Euros for what I thought was a one off Trial. The Lawyer did not have the answer, it was not in his area of expertise and he merely gave me the details of another legal organisation. The deduction from my bank account was identified as JUSTANSWER*TRIAL00800800
On the 5/07/2021 there was a deduction of 59 Euros taken from my bank account by JUSTANSWER*LAWYER0080080. I immediately contacted Just Answer, explaining that the Lawyer had only answered one question inadequately and that I understood that I was only due to pay the 1 trial payment NOT another 59 Euros.
On the 05/08.2021 yet another 59 Euros have been deducted from my account JUSTANSWER*lawyer 0080080. This is disgraceful, I didn't subscribe to Just Answers and indeed will never touch them ever again!

Desired outcome: I need the unauthorized deductions from my account to be stopped and to be refunded

I do not understand the extra charge as I have stopped using this site, I was charged $70 last week and would like it credited back to my account please.

Could someone please get in touch with me as I do not know what to do nor do I know how to avoid further charges.

JustAnswer Questions

I agreed to a $5 trial to get my question answered. You said I would be notified when the trial ended so I could cancel before I incurred further charges. I just got a $46 charge on my card. When I attempted to resolve this online you kept sending me to pages that want more money. I don't see any way to cancel this. Am I going to have to go through the process of disputing this and having another card issued to get you out of my pocket?

Desired outcome: $46 refund/ cancel just answer

JustAnswer Deducting r599 from my credit account.

The above amount is being deducted from my credit card for not rendering any service. I contacted you to fix my laptop as could not use the USB transferring data. It was tested but the amount quoted was above my means. I cancelled it. No work was ever done except the initial testing. As I hardly use my credit card I only found during March 2021 R599 was monthly deducted. The bank cancelled my Credit card.
Could you please refund me the 5 Months deducted amount plus the accumulated interest @ R9, 00 per month.
Yours,
Stephanus Andreas Human
