Scribd has become a joke!
I'm officially done with Scribd. I really loved it and used it for about a year, but then they placed all those crazy limits and lost lots of customers. And I am one of them. Their new rules and platform are ridiculous! I had bought a subscription based on unlimited books and now I can get only 3 books per month! So basically I wasted my money on nothing. Sorry, Scribd, but I'm leaving.
New platform is terrible!
I started using Scribd in 2015 and was very satisfied. I signed up, paid some money and was able to read unlimited books! I spent weeks reading books on Scribd and was very happy. But then they decided to make some changes and set up a new platform. And starting from 2016 that terrible monthly limit on books appeared. Then I decided to cancel my subscription and found out that after you cancel your account it is impossible to read the books you paid for! Don't use this service. Scribd was really great in the past, but once the new platform was set up it turned into a real nightmare.
Months of unwanted billing!
Don't do business with Scribd! I used to love this site in the past and bought many books there, prices were low and customer service was always helpful. But Scribd has moved away from subscription and now you have to pay for each book separately. If I have to pay for each book, it's not really a subscription in my opinion. So I cancelled my account several months ago
and just found out that they have continued charging me for their service! I went to their site and tried to find a phone number, but it appears that they don't have one. And their reps simply do not respond to emails! I'm very disappointed. I contacted my bank and I hope they'll return my money back.
Scribd has mischarged subscription fees on my credit card for one year which I just found out. I'm sure that I'm not in a subscription plan with Scribd aftering check my account information several times
Once again you have taken a monthly fee from me despite the fact I cancelled my subscription two months ago. I sufferfrom extremely poor mental health and find this making me very anxious. I exist on a small amount every month disability benefit from the UK dwp and cannot afford to have my money taken from me in this way.
I deleted my subscription to Scrib Inc. and my card information and recently i got billed for 11.99 on 10-22-2022. I would like a refund please. This is a scam and it is not appeciated.
I'm complaining in regard to unauthorized credit card charges for 12months+. Scribd has been charging $8.99 a month on my credit card without my consent for more than 12 months. I'm requesting a full refund and cancellation. You can reach me at mandi.lee.md@gmail.com
I have never signed up to this service. But yet I have been getting transactions every month. I have made numerous attempts to contact you with no response! I’m honestly at my wits end. I’ve cancelled my card and yet transactions have started again!
I have just noticed a transaction on my account by yourselves and I’ve never signed up to you ever. Can you look into this, this is fraud
I am getting charged for £10.99 per month for the subscription I cancelled some time ago. last deduction was 9 August 2022
email chris.meaver@ntlworld.com
I do not have any Scribd’s account but do not know why I have been charged 8.99$ from March 2022 till now.
I need you to reach back out to me and Figure out how your going to refund All the charges you have charged me I have NO Issues finding out who else been taken advantage the same way and Look for an attorney for a class action law suit.

Hello I have been charged repeatedly to my credit card and I have never used scribd or signed up for any scribd membership.
I require these issue resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you.

I sent 7 emails to scrib, asking them to resolve this problem. An amount of 119 dollars was deducted from my account, to which there is no consent on my part. I haven't registered on this site, and I've tried several times to get in touch. Please resolve this!
I want a refund based on the very moment you had this inexcusable ethics lapse.
So you thought you would simply use corporage "damage control" and just do it.
NOOOOOO!
A fraudulent company exploiting credit card loopholes to make money. This company does not provide good services. It scams money from consumers through various deceptions。

I signed up for a 30-day free trial starting 9/12/23 and ending 10/12/23, however I canceled the subscription a week ago.
