legal advice
I sent information (as succinct as I could) about a neighbour dispute matter. The first lawyer to answer told me that the area of law was one in which he was not an expert and passed over my request for advice to other "experts". One supposed lawyer answered to state that I had to summarize the matter. I summarized it in the amount of words permitted - to be told once again to summarize the content. I did this and did not receive any answer.
I note from my credit card statement that I have been charged £11.00 and would like this to be refunded. I completed whatever section was available asking for a refund but my credit card statement shows clearly that I have been charged.
It appears that this site is a scam. Can someone please assist me in obtaining a refund?

over / over charged
I contacted your group last month (28 - 30 aug) as i was having difficulties and somehow got you. I was advised of your charges and your policy of a full refund if i wasn't satisfied with your service. I did not proceed with getting assistance of any kind from you, and as a 67 yr old pensioner who believes when guarantees are promised, i'd like to think this will apply in this case.
As i had to give you my credit card details you have this information to send a credit for the a$18
That was deducted from my credit account. I look forward to this matter being rectified - thank you

Regret that I forgot I did make a legitimate charge with JustAnswers.com in January 2009. Please disregard the previously posted complaint.--Chulmleigh Deacon. Have registered this correction with the complaints website in the meantime.
taking money out monthly
I asked a question in June and agreed to pay £13. but the following month of July, and August, they have also taken £13.I want them to cancel, but they say I have to guarantee a further £28 to get an answer.My next course of action is going to be a signed dispute form with Capital One.

This service is a rip off and I am contacting the states attorneys office and the BBB to lodge formal complaintes about the scam. i have not used this serivce, and am being charged 48.00 permonth fr what? i have emailed and requested a refund and cancellation but have not recieved an answer or refund. I am tired f being taken advantage of, and will not rest until this is resolved.
I just discover that Just Answer Lawyers company tagged as (justanswer) had taken a sum of £42 from my bank account on the 29th of Feb.2912..
I need a refund ofthis £42 from to my account immediately because there is no reason for thjis illegal deduction.I expect this group of lawyers to behave professionaly and reimburse my account without any hesitation as the cannot justify their reason for the transaction.

last year l had a question that l asked pertaining to naturalisation as a British citizen.For that help you charged me £22 and that was in september 2010 .since then l discovered that every month you have been taking that amount for whole year.This was not the agreement that we made, according to my understanding it is fraud.I HAVE MY BANK STATEMENTS WITH ME AS A PROOF.
Hope not to see another charge on our Visa acct... People have to stop being taken in by these companies. Not fair play to take money out of someone's acct wthout permission. Isn't that called stealing!
Did not know we had to pay every month for a service we do not use. Used it once did not quite answer my question do not need this service anymore. Wish to have deduction cancelled
just ask is nothing more than a fraud.The bozos on this complaint site are in it together.I am a legitimate victim and have had to cancel my credit card to stop them from taking money out of my account.I have also complaines to my credit card company.I am sure I am stuck paying this bill on my card before cancelling.So spare me this soap opera Vicki, Kevin and Adam because like the site you are frauds.Just a warning to anyone who falls into this trap.Cancel your credit card immedietly.
Hi, My name is Kevin and I've grown concerned over Just Answer Layers today. I came by the site beliving that it was a legitimite website promising to despinse information at a cost of 32 euros, in January 2011. I agreed to pay 32 euro for information that I wanted and yes I did get the information and was billed in February.
However, I noticed on my credit card on March 2011 that again I'm paying 32 euros to Just Answer Layers for no reason. This is a contradiction to a web site who promises is legal advice when they themselves comitt a crime of fraud.
In the interest of playing fair, I need this refunded. Contact me at kevpb@eircom.net
Hi my name is Vicky, i contacted Justanswer lawyers in January 2011 enquiring about a legal issue which I never received an answer/reply. I paid £22 using my credit card. In february, I realised that the company (justanswer) had taken a further £22 from my credit card, I do not remember having subscribed to a monthly payment system with the company. Why should a firm that claims to be reputable and professional act in such a fraudulent manner; not only did I not receive the information i requested for despite having paid but they continue charging me for delivering nothing.
I need a refund of £44 plus any charges I have incurred contacting my credit card issuer and the money they have expended in carrying out the investigation on my behalf.
Contact me on my email vixcod@yahoo.co.uk.
Hi my name is samira abdolkhaleghi .I contact you guys on october and asked a question and I also paid 34 dollars by my credit card same month . but I just notice that you guys are still charging me 34 doolars each month till now wich is febuary .

you are lawyer and I trusted you, this not right taking advantage of peapole .please contact me on my email :
samira1354@hotmail.com or call me at [protected] and please return my money back as soon as possible .
printer problem
I am being charged 54.00 for answers on my printer.It did not work, I told them so, and I have it on my credit card bill. I wan't it off.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I requested info on a 2004 sebring in june, 2011 regarding a problem where the engine would not turn over if i drove around town and evidently the engine compartment would heat up and shut down something. I had to wait an hour or so for the compartment to cool down before i could start the engine.
I got charged $30. 00 on my credit card but never received the information.
I used this service one time for some info and they keep billing my account
my previous email address was, Marg21latimer@live.co.uk, Iapplied last year with a question, which was never answered, and I see I wasn`t the only one with that complaint! My p.c. unfortunately caught a virus, and I lost all my passwords, although I had already had communication from you asking me if I wanted to carry on with my subscription, if I didn`t, not to reply and it would be cancelled! surprise surprise, you have carried on taking out the payments! I`m a pensioner, I can`t afford to fork out £11 a month, I would appreciate your cancelling the payments, and refunding the money you have taken this year. Should you carry on taking out the payments, my bank is going to intervene on my behalf, I have given them permission to do what is necessary, Yours M.T.Blackford
I got an answer for (1) question, now i am being charged a $ 54.00 monthly fee..having no luck getting refunded...do not open that site...its expensive.
I asked them for the color code on the stereo wires for my explorer never got a answer but got charged 37.00 then 3 days later 22.00 I only get 533.00 per month. this just killed me. I am going to try to have it stopped but is a prepaid card and It will stop my social sec for a month of getting direct dep. I am so angry anybody have any clue on how to deal with this. Ya I know prob will never get the money back. Hard lesson learned.
I to have become a victim to these lovely people used the service once 6 months ago and wondered why deductions were coming out of my account every month since! thanks to this site I know the answer, Now to try and get back what the thieving mongrels have got for nothing VJ Queensland Australia
I asked a printer question. They were unable to figure it out and I ended up fixing my own printer... and they still charged my credit card! Never again!
I have had the same experience with these people. Despite my bank writing to them a month ago with a 15 day warning, they have again charged me. I used their service once only, perhaps 8 months ago, and they have billed my account every month since. Perhaps an American plaintiff should publicise what amounts to widespread fraud.
just answer mechanics they are thiefs they just keep taking money every month, i only used them 2 times and im still paying 5 months later how can i stop it, , anybody..
How do you contact them as I also have an ongoing payment taken without consent. I may get a reply yet as I sent an e- mail somewhere into the ether? If I don't get a reply I, t will go to. The Bank a/c disputes. Please advise. Frank
automatically charging my bank account/card.
Last month I actually used the services of Just Answer.com and paid for the service on-line via bank debit card. Now this month there is an automatic re-occurring $9 "subscription fee" I being charged for. I never agreed to this subscription and I didn't have to pay one the first time I used them. This is what gets me, the telephone number they post is an automated attendant and offers no selection to speak to customer service. The website doesn't offer a customer service selection either. When I contacted my bank to seek assistance in blocking or preventing further charges I was told the only way i can stop it is to close out my account and re-open a new one. I don't have to tell you what an inconvenience this is, but I am doing anyway to stop this criminal act against me.
Please let me know if there is other ways to dispute something like this or to at least complain to them directly. I would like to at least have my complaint heard, thank you for listening.

debiting my account when not authorised
I used your services once or twice at the most, & yet for at least for the past 4mths you've been debiting my account for $69. Oo every month without my approval, & this must stop immediately. My own son is now a lawyer, so I don't require your services. I haven't for some time.In fact you owe me for all the months that you've been debiting my account. This must stop immediately or I shall be forced to take further action. I require an email from you immediately to say you've stopped debiting my funds. I think they call this fraud!

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
I have written you to several times and have had no response. I used your services once in September 2010 and you have been debiting my credit card four times since then, to the point that I had to cancel my credit card. You have neglected to contact me despite my writing to you four times. I demand that you contact me on my email - paula@plpa.com.au today (22/02/2011) to resolve this once and for all, before I take this to the ASIC. I see that you make a habit of this - but to ignore my request is just plain unprofessional - call yourselves Lawyers! Paula, Brisbane, Australia
I am currently visiting the UK & have an issue with a family matter, in using your site for help & advice, I was asked to further give more information. Before doing this & getting a result I had money debited from my account.Why is this? I'm not impressed!

unauthorized debit on my credit card
I visited the web site on 2010-05-05 to request information, but at no stage did I provide my consent
to this company to debit the amount of R124.00 on a monthly basis on my credit card.
The transaction for the monthly debit of R124.00 should be stopped immediately and the amounts
debited since May 2010 should be refunded immediately. The amount of R 496.00 should be refunded for the following debits:
5 May 2010 : R124.00
5June 2010 : R124.00
5 July 2010 : R124.00
5 Aug 2010 : R124.00

cant get refund / overcharged
I tried justanswer.com to get the answer to a problem I was having with a microsoft product. I got the answer on my own from microsoft, but even after I told jusananswer that i'd gotten the answer, they charged me. When I asked how to get the refund they said would be available, they charged me to answer that question. Needless to say, i'm not happy. I don't dare tell them so, because they'll just charge me again, since they have my credit card number. Don't use justanswer.com. I don't doubt that they have exoertise; I just don't think much of their business practices/ethics.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
I had a similar experience, they told me to purchase the software I was already using to upgrade my Windows Vista (to Microsoft Windows 7), even providing an ebay link. Didn't need it - already had it. They even said I couldn't upgrade an OEM version of Windows Vista to Windows 7, which is not true. I had thought they were working for Microsoft because of the search link that came up with them as Microsoft help, but became suspicious when the ebay links showed up in their answer posting. I then contacted Microsoft and got the answer I needed, which was to contact the software vendor (Digital River) for a product key. The original problem was Microsofts fault (didn't specify whether a Windows Vista or Windows 7 product key was required), but the Just Answer Tech didn't consider my problem, just gave a bogus but clever answer that the average person might believe. I complained but they never acknowledged the bad answer, and after a few days a $38 charge showed up on my account as permanent. The credit card co. called them and Just Answer claimed a credit is being processed, we will see. Highly recommend you use a credit card for web transactions so that you have a dispute advocate.
This site should be shut down!
money and identity theft fake site
This site is grossly misleading and should be shut down!
They have all these misleading things on the home page like, a list of names :(The New York Times, etc) and things that look like 'Seals of Approval' and a Good Morning American video that are supposed to make you think that this is a legitimate, safe, and widely approved site so you will go right ahead and SEND THEM MONEY BEFORE THEY GIVE YOU A SERVICE.
They freeze your money in your 'account' and if you aren't satisfied, you have to force them to give you a refund. If I had not used Paypal, I would have had to report their charge on my credit card as fraud.
My personal gmail account which is MY ACTUAL NAME was somehow associated with the small amount of personal information I typed in WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
It suddenly appeared on the screen folks, gangked from google, because I DID NOT TYPE IT IN!
I never typed in my gmail address, but there is appeared against my will, and since it was my real name, it was then associated with a very personal medical question I had asked a supposed actual doctor. The profile for the doctor was obviously fake, as the profile I was lead to believe I was accessing became a fake profile once I asked the question, with a completely different photo and fake info.
I was thorough and extremely detailed, and asked a very specific question. Not only was my question completely ignored, but the fake doctor left about three generic sentences, the first was the absolute worst case scenario and the first thing that comes up a million times when you google the first few symptoms I listed... the second being 'or maybe it is just stress' which was quoting me directly, AND NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, useless, and the third sentence told me to go see a real doctor. I googled the question BEFORE I went on the site and received tons of information, but nothing specific to MY case, so I went to their site to pay a doctor for specific answers. It was as if a robot pulled two key words from google, and then told me to go see a doctor. Of course, I refused to pay for this, but my money was 'deposited' and I couldn't get it back, so I asked 3 times for a refund and received no answer.
I had to start a Paypal DISPUTE to get a REFUND and a response from JustAnswers.com., which is an obvious scam, these are not professionals answering your questions.
They however did not address the emails from me demanding that they delete my email address from their website, as they will share EVERY DETAIL of your personal information INCLUDING every detail of the question you ask with anyone and everyone on the internet. So I had to eventually sort that out, and change my email address, but I asked them to delete my account entirely, and I have received no answer. I'm still trying to figure out how to have the information permanently deleted, but as far as I can tell, they now own all that I entered on the site, and they have the right to share that info with anyone. So, they stole my email address from some associated Google Yahoo cookie, they stole my money, they refused to protect my information and identity, and now they refuse to let me delete my account. I feel really lucky that I got a refund, but I did have to start a dispute to get one. I'm Glad I used Paypal! Imagine having to go through this with your credit card company!
JustAnswer is a gigantic scam site, do NOT give them your personal information, your banking information, your email, or your money, you will be sorry!

Entry on credit card bill - $18

took money out of my account without approval.
I searched on the internet for advice for a problem I had. I contacted Justanswer, com and they got a so called expert to answer my qestion. I offered to pay £11 for a suitable answer.
The response I got I could have got from my 11 year old daughter therefore did not accept the answer and therefore did agree to pay the charge.
I have now received my bank statement and they have debitted this amount without my permission.
What action can I take against these 'thieves'
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
withdrawing funds from my account without authority
I needed a code to get into my phone after trying everything I called just answer they advertised on the net with professionals who could assist with this type of thing. I'm guessing @ this point they accessed my email address and left a virus because i could no longer access my Email and just answer have been withdrawing funds from my credit card for months without my authority ever since, I will cancel this next week and have had to open a new email address.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Are you kidding, accusing them if sending you a virus? You ought to get a Darwin award.
credit card
Also with me they have drawn eur 30 (28.98+1.50 charges) for something I do not recognize having ordered - in dkk216.00.
Can you help in any way ?
Or should I cancel my credit card & get a new one from my bank costing me money too ?
Thank you for any help you cn provide.

you should cancel the card and get a new one. in future be a bit more careful about giving your details to people online, just answer can't be held responsible for the user's stupidity.
double billing
These people are billing me monthly. I asked and paid for two answers and they are still billing me $14/month. I want the billing to be stopped and a refund of $28.00.

Jerry :
I am not extremely versed in the zoned systems, but this wiring looks like it is a stand alone system.
Jerry
If there is no fuse, then most likely the transformer is blown, if you had a direct short at any time on your c wire.
JACUSTOMER-j2l7fnew- :
also, going into the furnace terminals, there is another white wire going into the Y terminal and another red going into
the C terminal, so 7 wires and only 5 at each thermostat
Jerry :
Do you know where this red, and white Y and C, wires are coming from? Or going to? It looks like a separate thermostat wire
going somewhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@@
1st huge error is saying C or common cannot be grounded or it is a short, this is pathetically inaccurate and precludes the
possibility of effectively making a repair/diagnosis or having performed this job ever let alone years! If you do not know
this basic theory you could never know anything beyond this!
WHEN THE CUSTOMER SAYS THIS, ...
there is another white wire going into the Y terminal and another red going into the C terminal, so 7 wires and only 5 at
each thermostat...
THIS IS THE 5 THERMOSTAT WIRES, 1=RED, 2=WHITE, 3=YELLOW, 4=GREEN, 5=COMMON, ...
THE REMAINING 2 WIRES HE MENTIONS ARE TO THE AC UNIT OUTSIDE YELLOW AND COMMON,
C = COMMON 24V IS GROUNDED AT THE TRANSFORMER! YOU CANNOT SHORT ANYTHING WITH SHORTING COMMON TO GROUND,
ONLY THE HOT LEG WILL BLOW A FUSE IF GROUNDED!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jerry :
Anytime the power is grounded out. with either the red or c terminal, it is a direct short, my guess is the bare wires may
have touched each other when the thermostat cover was installed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@@ THIS IS PATHETICALLY WRONG! THIS IS 1ST WEEK MATERIAL! APPRENTICES MUST KNOW THIS LET ALONE A TECHNICIAN! TO IMAGINE A
SO CALLED EXPERT IS POORLY VERSED IN LOW VOLTAGE THEORY IS IMPLAUSIBLE AS ALL VOLTAGES OBSERVE THE SAME LAWS, WHICH MEANS
IF YOU ARE POOR AT LOW VOLTAGE YOU ARE POOR AT ALL VOLTAGES AS EVIDENCED! TO BILL POOR CUSTOMERS FOR INACCURATE DATA IS
PATHETIC! NO WONDER THEY GET A 90% RATING! THEY ARE ASKING PEOPLE WHO ARE UNQUALIFIED TO RATE THEM!
COMMON 12V IS GROUNDED AT THE TRANSFORMER IF YOU WERE AN ACTUAL EXPERT OR EVEN BOTHERED TO LOOK AT WIRING DIAGRAM EVER!
THE EXPERT DOES NOT EVEN REALIZE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WIRES THERE FOR 2 STATS, OR HE NEEDS A ZONE BOARD! WHICH IS NOT SEEN
IN
ANY PICS OR EVEN MENTIONED!

AFTER 30 POSTS JERRY OPTS OUT AND RPEN7111 STEPS IN AND GETS EVEN WORSE
THIS IS SCARY! LOOK AT THIS LOGICALLY THE TRANSFORMER MUST BE ON TO HAVE ANYTHING RUN ON A HVAC SYSTEM,
THE CONTROL VOLTAGE IS 24 VOLTS, KNOWING THIS LOOK AT THIS STATEMENT FROM THE ALLEGED EXPERT, ...

If you have time the unit contactor looks burned bad on one side this can cause you to only get 115 volts not enough for
transformer to work right, ...

@@
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!EVEN IF YOU KNOW ZERO OF HVAC! THIS SHOULD BE OBVIOUSLY RIDICULOUS TO ASSERT!
THE CONTACTOR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CLOSED TO POWER THE TRANSFORMER! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
THIS WOULD MEAN THE UNIT HAS TO TURN ON BEFORE IT CAN ENERGIZE THE TRANSFORMER TO THEN BE ENERGIZED BY THE TRANSFORMERS 24
VOLTS!
SAYING, IF YOU ONLY GET 115V THAT'S NOT ENOUGH SO PUSH THE CONTACTOR IN, IS INSANE!IT WILL START THE COMPRESSOR AND SOMEHOW
ENERGIZE A TRANSFORMER THAT ALREADY SHOULD BE POWERED WHETHER THE UNITS ON OR OFF OR WHATEVER! A CLOSED CONTACTOR EQUALS A
RUNNING COMPRESSOR ! THINK ABOUT THIS!IF CLOSING THE CONTACTOR WERE REQUIRED TO POWER THE TRANSFORMER TO POWER THE STAT,
HELL NO! THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL AND IS EMBARRASSING, ACTUALLY, WAS THIS EXPERT DRUNK?
ONE OF THE WORST ANSWERS I HAVE EVER SEEN HERE!
BUT LOOK BELOW! TESTING TO GROUND FOR 115V THINKING THAT MEANS ANYTHING! PATHETIC! TO GROUND ONLY TELLS YOU IF IT IS
SAFE TO TOUCH NOT IF THERE IS ACTUALLY 230V THERE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
that sounds pretty cold.the doors and windows will just keep the units running too long if open and can cause it to over
heat.We need to know why you are not reading 230 volts ac on the bottom of the contactor.will you read one wire at a time
just touch one wire and put the other lead on the meter to some metal on unit or to ground wire near contactor
Please allow me the time to do my best to help with your question before rating me.thank you.

TESTING TO GROUND IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO TROUBLESHOOT!YOU NEED TO TEST ACROSS THE SIDES OR LEGS OF POWER,

GROUND
MAY BE BACKFEDING AND READ ON BOTH LEGS WHEN IN FACT YOU ONLY HAVE 1 LEG OF 115V RATHER THAN 2 LEGS FOR A TOTAL OF 230V
TESTING TO GROUND IS AN AMATEURISH METHOD AND ONE THAT WILL FOOL YOU.

Im sorry, but its kind of new to me answering questions I love to make the repairs by hand but im trying to get better
online where I cant see the unit so don't feel bad at least you are willing to try.
I really beleive the transformer is bad if you happened to short the common wire for tstat, or the control board is bad.
when you know there is 230 volts there we can read the 24 volts again if it is there the control board is bad, if no 24
volts the transformer is bad

Just Answer, Pearl.com and the new spin offs, answernest.com, E answers.com, etc.should strongly sanction unfounded and

Experts as billy1961 who file retaliatory and false reports should be sanctioned in some way.

oversight; possibly including moderator review of a report BEFORE it is delivered to the intended expert, so that it's true
nature can be assessed and prevent unnecessary back and forth, false reporting, childish behavior, and increased
administrative time for everyone unnecessarily.
If the report feature is abused, then an expert should have their ability to report temporarily suspended, to start,

on line scam
On June 16, 2010 I was on line looking for information on my medical problem. I found a general answer on line but wanted a better one so up pops just answer so I go on it. They say if you do not accept the answer they give you there is no charge. They fail to tell you that they will charge you first to make sure you have the money in the bank just in case you agree with the answer you get. That is why you get stuck at having to give them all your personal infro. to be able to get in to ask your question. So I did and when I got on line with "their so called doctor" It was as if I was reading the same thing I had got myself almost word for word. so I did not want accept the answer. upon telling them this (and I don't know how I came across the area were I could tell them so. )they wanted me to ask another doctor when I said no and started to tell them that I was wanting to make a law suite on them and would get in touch with the BBB they then put a person saying they were a lawyer and how could they help me. I had to shut down my computer my self to get out of their web page. After that I came back onto the computer and went to check my bank account they had not ONLY charged me for the first question but also for the second and third ones I never asked ! The bank statement I looked had three different charges then a place were they crided it back to me then droped the third one and then doubled the total of the other two and charged me for that. The date on this at that time was 6-16&17 2010. So I called my bank fraud line . When the lady on the phone brought up my account on her computer she was able to see how they had hacked into my account changing every thing and wile I was on the phone with her she contacked the bank fauld web sight. and filed the complaint. She gave the number of the file ans said that they would be sending me paper to fill out. And suggested I call the BBB. so on the 18th of june when I found the web sight for the BBB i went to my bank sight to get a copy of the bank page to submit to the BBB. Whe I looked at it they had come back into my account and hacked away again! This time they chasnged the date on the charge to the 18th. and every thing but the one charge (for the two question I was surpposed to of made) was on the page. All the different chargest and prof of them hacking my account was gone. Even at this I still filed with BBB on them.
The BBB has another company that acted on my be half ( a middle person). As thing went on they returned my money back to me and as they were cleaning up their files they came across a time back in 2-2010 were my husband had used the sight and did not accept the answer but they never gave him the money back. but because we both use the same e-mail they gave me back that money too! I was asking for extra money for the the stress and suffrage I had been going throught as I am Bi-polar and it had caused me to go into a manice depresstion were I would not be able to sleep do to worring about the hacker, the chargest the bank was charging me ( the fraud people were not able to fine any thing wrong sence they had hacked my account to look good for them by the time they got into the invistion so I was charged for over drawn on my account) as well as I was afraid of "identiy thrif". All they wanted to do anddid do was say" How sorry they were to hear about my health problem". Well sence the middle person was not able to get a happy resalutions the company"JustAnswer will be on report and stay on the list for a year. So I say to any one who has a problem with them now or in the past to go on line to the BBB of the Golden Gate & Northen California and file a complaint. Or if you are up set with a different company the BBB on line will help you to fine the right location to contack. Don't be afaid to stand up for your self. Even if they are a member of the BBB if you fell you have been SCRAMED let them know.
I hope this has helped you in finding the answer you were looking for. Have a Blessed day and may God Bless YOU.
