being charged a monthly fee when I did not sign up for it
For at least the last 2 months i have been getting charged a fee of approximately P53 on the 6th of each month. The transaction shows as Scribd Inc [protected] CA. I have no recollection of signing up for this and wish to unsubscribe with immediate effect. My email address is [protected]@gmail.com
i hope to hear from someone very soon to resolve this matter and hope that no further payments will be taken from my card.

For at least the last few months an amount of approximately P53 is being taken from my credit card on the 6th of the month. I did not sign up for this and do not know why this money is being taken from my account. My email address is pricesabout@gmail.com
I hope to hear from someone very soon regarding this matter and that this money will no longer be taken from my card.
My account shows i have no active membership or card on file, and i have no subscription though paypal, itunes etc when i checked those, so i do not understand why all this money is being taken from my account and i hope it is going to be refunded.

scribd
I canceled my membership with you a month or more ago and I am still being charged $8.99 on my account. I want my money refunded immediately!
My email for the account is: [protected]@gmail.com
My username for the account is: cheryl9ann-2
My account says it is not active, it does not show my payment history, and says it does not have a payment method on file, but yet you are debiting my account? What is up with you people. What kind of scam is this? There are too many people with the same complaint. Do I need to contact Better Business or my states representative to complain about your company?
Get my money back to my bank!

billing
I have unsubscribed from your service almost 2 months ago but I still get a monthly bill of $13.74NZD taken away. What is Scribd's problem? Why won;t they just leave me and my bank account alone? I forgot to unsubscribe from their service before the free trial ended and so I did, but they're still taking money out and I need it to help out my parents! What the hell is happening? I am so disappointed...

I finally found their corporate phone number in California, and gee, guess what, you can't talk to anyone because they want to do everything by email. They most definitely are a scam company!
The same thing has just happened to me. I canceled my membership either last month or the month pervious, and today my account is debited $8.99. They are obviously a scam company.

Our company's credit card was charged by its monthly member fee and it was discovered on the 4th month. We never authorize such transaction.
This company is doing fraudulent business.
Try contacting California Secretary of State with your complaint. Something has to be done about this company's fraudulent business practices. They are cyber criminals.

non working of my credit card
Hello,
I've tried a number of times to become a scribd member and get the benefit of a 30 day free trial. However, scribd app is not accepting my card. This has never happened before.

My id is [protected]@gmail.com
Please resolve this as soon as possible.
Thank you.

unauthorized charges
I was just looking at my bank account balance sheet and noticed a regular monthly charge from "Scribd" for more than one year. I have no memory of making this account, none of my emails are linked to this account. I don't have a product number because I don't remember ordering anything from your company. Please refund and cancel the account ASAP!

Such terrible company, trying lucky to hope the account holders wont pay much attention to such unauthorized charges. Someone even noticed such after being charged by 12 times already.
This company's managers and directors and shareholders shall be put into the jail.
subscription
I am duday de sales from the Philippines. It just came to my attention that there is regular charging of 8USD twice per month in my Citibank account from Scribd.
I have no subscription with Scribd at all and I sent them request for cancellation of the alleged subscription. Charges started in March 2018 until now.
I notified Citibank about this but cancellation should be made through Scribd. All they can do is to block the card and change.

unauthorized monthly charges
I do not have an account with SCRIBD and I have never heard of them but I have been getting charged $8.99 every month for 2 years. Of course there is no way to speak to a live person with the contact phone number they have so I will have to go through my financial institution's fraud dept to put a stop to this. SCRIBD is getting rich $8.99 at a time because they prey on the fact that not everybody has the time to study their bank statement every day.

no idea what I am being billed for
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to complain about the fact that Scribd has been charging me without my knowledge for tha past two or three months at $8.99 a month for no services. I canceled my account with scribd as soon as I registered because I didn't have the time outside my schedule to read. As my records with scribd will indicate I haven't even logged onto scribd before or used any of scribd services. I do not understand why I am being charged. Please look into this and refund my money. I got to know this after my account went negative. I am counting on your usual cooperation in such matters.
Yours Sincerely, Francis Osei

credit card was charged twice in a day
My name is V. Thanga Velu @ VP. Thanga. My credit card (master card) number is [protected]. It was charged twice in 21st April 2018. USD 99 and USD 8.99. I need detailed explanation on this. I have attached the snap shot of my credit card. Thank you.
I do not understand your request. what do you mean by category. I am an individual member and not company. Let me know the additional information you are requiring.

Hi,
I would like to terminate my subscription immediately. Kindly, assist me on this. Tq
I have clarified with my credit card. The problem is settled.

Hi i got charged double my subscription amount so instead of 1 fee it took the amount 2x.
unauthorized credit card charges
Just like every other complaint, I ended my membership with Scribd months ago and I just found out that Scridb has continued to charge me 8.99 since then. I cannot find a way to get in contact with this company except via email, but it appears from prior complaints that speaking with someone won't be very helpful anyway. This kind of deceit should not be allowed. Me and everyone else who has been taken advantage of by this company should come together and sue Scribd as a class action (I'm serious)!

charge without providing a service by scribd
Although I have enrolled to sribdt, when I tried to access scrib the system iteratively still asked me to initiate a free trial and when I try to access a book the system did not allow me to access it.
I sent several emails to the suppport email adddres they have in their website and they never bothered to reply, in the meantime they started to charge their monthly charge and I still sent emails to cancel the subscription and they did, finally I had to access paypal and cancel the automatic payment.
Do not subscribe to scribdt beacuse they are completely unreliable and not responding

membership charges
Just like other complainants here, I also cancelled my membership upon using up my free month. My account clearly showed that I don't have an active membership yet my card was charged automatically. I already emailed scribd about it asked them to cancel my membership but my card was again charged for 2 months! Again, I emailed them to refund the charges but nobody is answering back.
Is this is some kind of scam?

Try contacting the Secetary of State with your complaint.
unauthorized fees taken - please cancel any inferred subscription
I cannot afford to lose $8.99 a month for whatever service it is that you provide. It looks as if others are also having the same problem with your charging methods. You provide no "cancel" tab to do this, and it looks as if other complaints have received no responses. Do I need to contact the San Francisco Better Business Bureau to get this done and have you refund my money? Please respond ASAP with confirmation that you have cancelled any perceived contract you think you have with me, and I will stop there. Otherwise, in addition to filing complaints with monitoring agencies, I will also pursue actions to be refunded any unauthorized withdrawals you have already made and those you may make until this is resolved by eliminating any business relationship you believe you have with me. Thank you for a quick resolution of this problem.

unauthorized purchases!!!
I was just looking at my bank account balance sheet and noticed a pending charge from "Scribd". I have no memory of making this account, none of my emails are linked to this account and to top it off, it seems as though my "account" started in December and they have taken over $50 from me. I need some help, this is not okay! If I did open this account, I don't know how to get into it and I still would like the payments to stop.

Monthly auto charge to use their website 8.99/mo after I cancelled.
I signed up months ago, used the month and then cancelled. scribd charged my card but credited the charge back. My credit card has been charged again and now I can't find the place to contact them. Before I found it easily. I would like my credit card credited for 8.99 and would like them to stop charging my card and destroy my card # so they won't continue to charge without authorization.
This company has also stolen my copyrighted material/intellectual material/ book titled Thanks For The Memories, The Truth Has Set Me Free, by Brice Taylor (my pseudonym) by offering free pdf's of my entire copyrighted book. In the past my book sold for 24.95, then 29.95 and now 49.95. If I had sold 7000 copies of my book I would have made a million dollars.
Scribd is not the only website to offer my book for free, but I have been contacting each one and most have complied. Scribd only complied recently.
