JustAnswer justanswer secure remote assistance

I was given a refund on transactions [protected] for $5 and [protected] for $31 as I wasn't satisfied. However, requested a refund for the Secure Remote Assistance I was charged $39 for. When your "Secure Remote Assistance" person called me we got disconnected. A second person called me and she hung up on me after she said she couldn't make out what I was telling her. No one called me back after that so I didn't get any "Secure Remote Assistance". I am therefore asking for a refund of $39.

JustAnswer math

MR Glenn gilongs treated me very rudely, I was accused of asking questions and than refunding after receiving answers which is not true, he started giving me attitude and I refuse to use him as my tutor, in fact I asked for someone else to help me and he took my order instead which is very disrespectful, I hate JustAnswer, the refund also happened for a resosn, I used Mr Glenn once and he was a bad tutor, he didn't care to explain while another tutor did, I tried placing another order for another tutor and he still took me instead of the person I put in the message box, I am very disappointed and wish for this tutor to be removed for not following his correct job, I didn't ask for Mr Glenn I asked for another tutor and this is what happens, than I ask for another tutor and he said "PLZ POST YOUR QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW" that's unacceptable and when I asked for another tutor he just picked me up again and than k requested another and he still took me, it's very annoying

JustAnswer billing for unrequested service and membership - new zealand

JustAnswer the way they do business in general

I needed an answer. I was prompted $5 to continue. No where in clear language did it state that another $23 Would be taken without my approval for the person answering my question. I made sure not to click on anything that stated "free trial" thinking, in the end, I'd only be charged $5. The $23 was not stated clearly enough for consumers to understand. This website then tried to charge another $28 for some other unknown reason, but my pre-paid card denied it thank God! This website needs to change the shady way it does business. Another thing is the fact that the "customer service" employees can barely speak English. I think she said I was getting a refund, but I could barely understand her poor English.

JustAnswer debit card charge requesting refund from your company

I was forced to use your service when I had problems with my computer. I paid you $31 for that service. I did not agree to join your organization. I was charged for the membership this morning and I want my $46.00 back. In addition I am not going to pay you for this service. Just refund my money and cancel my debit card in your system and cancel any membership to your organization.

JustAnswer I am complaining about the service level and the subsequent payment taken from my account

I joined under a 7 day trial period.I asked a question about my boiler, paid £5 and then waited and waited for a response.i messaged your expert on numerous occasions and was promised a response within a timeline.The timescales involved were never met.I was continually requesting some feedback all to no avail.

I did message that night saying how disappointed I was and that I wouldn't be joining or using you again.i now find that on 5th October you have now taken £25 from my account.if this is how your business model works then I would suggest that it is not very ethical.

I am not paying for a service that I did not receive.i have again logged on to your website and cancelled my membership.i have also requested that you refund the £25 again with immediate effect.

I note looking at various trust pilot websites for website scams that your website has been mentioned on numerous occasions.

Please would you acknowledge this message with an email to myself at tim.[protected]@imperialcars.co.uk, together with your confirmed action.

Thanks

JustAnswer taking money without authorisation from my bank

I signed up to JustAnswer a few weeks ago and asked a question. I got a pretty useless answer. The deal was that you could cancel membership after 5 days, which I did. I have now discovered that JustAnswer has taken over £30 from my bank account. I have tried to follow their website instructions to check whether they did cancel my account, as I had thought I had done, but there is no way of doing so. So I have been scammed by JustAnswer for over £30. And I cannot find any way (a) to get my money back and (b) ensure they will cease and desist from raiding my bank account.

Thanks. To be fair, the matter has been resolved and apparently my money is being returned. But I would never have noticed the deduction unless I had checked my bank account quite carefully.

JustAnswer unauthorized credit card charges

i submitted a quesion to "just answer" and they connected me to someone else without telling me i had to pay for it. All it said was i had to give my credit card number for a fully refundable $5.00 deposit. It gave another option for a $35 call to the mechanic which i declined. I noticed it charged me for the $35 anyways, but I let it go giving them the benefit of the doubt (maybe i missed a detail, not the end of the world its $35). Now i see a pending transaction on my credit card from "just answer" for an additional $55.00 which i definitely did not consent to. Had i known I would have had to pay for their services i never would have considered using them, as it would cost me less to call a few of my friends who are all mechanics, or just straight up taken my car to the shop instead. I used the site merely out of curiosity, to try to research the symptoms of my car online, and now somehow im ending up paying $95 for something I pretty much knew the answer to already.

JustAnswer no solution given

I paid for an answer to my problem with Internet America Airmail. I could not get on because I cannot remember the old password. I have tried over and over. I paid the company to find an answer and one was not found but later I received a text telling me that they would work further but for another $47.00. I cannot afford this and am missing many very important emails. I would like a total refund of every dollar I paid in order to get help, of which I received none

JustAnswer refund

Although they have refunded me with 30 pounds paid for a service, I did not receive in a proper manner, they refunded to my bank card registered on the website, but this card and the account had been closed by the bank and the funds are now nowhere.The justanswer keep telling me that their payment processor shows successfully refunded and the funds has gone to the bank...on other side the bank tells me that the funds will bounce back to the sender, as there is no more bank account where the funds to arrive in...

This happens since more than a month and the issue isn't resolved at all.The bank advised me to ask the sender to check with their bank to do a full trace of the funds, but they are refusing simply because they rely on their payment processor only...

On October 5 you debited my credit card in the amount of $A 67.00. I want to know why this has occurred? I did not authorise any payments to you whatsoever. I have never used your service, and have no intentions of ever doing so. I expect you to provide me with a refund accordingly, and defer any charges in the future. Please respond to this message.

JustAnswer unauthorized membership charged

I tried using your question service and ask about a problem I was having. Your claim was to have an answer in 9 minutes. Well some 6 hours later, nothing. I cancelled my request and you refunded the deposit paid.
My problem now is that you have charged me for a membership that was NOT requested. Why would I want a membership when you could not supply the answer?
Please refund the $38US to my account.

JustAnswer unauthorized credit card use

Yesterday 21 September 2018 I was connected through Iprimus to Just Answer because I had a problem with password. I switched off as it was only a password problem which Primus should have answered themselves. I was told there would be a $5 charge which would be refunded if the problem wasn't solved. The $5 has been refunded but I have been billed twice on my credit card for $54.00 and $55.77. Reference [protected].
Please refund my money immediately
