      When I moved out of my friends home I transferred all the utilities into my friends name/email or gave him the login info and changed the name on the profile. I moved out around September, 2022. I deleted my card info off the profile and thought nothing of it but apparently have been charged since then. I also had my credit card number changed because it got stolen. Despite taking my card off, changing the profile, and having an updated card number Arlo opted to just force it's charges through AND increased the prices over time. When I realized this I called and told them this and that I would like a refund and card taken off the account and was told that I would need the "account holder" and they didn't care that the card was in my name and not the account holder. They also didn't care to cancel the charges or that the Discover card was literally not even the same account number. Discover finally put a stop charge on, after doing an initial dispute and finding in my favor but they forgot to do the stop charge so a few more charges came through and this time during the dispute charges they received a response, not answering the dispute at all, just that they disagreed with the dispute. I just got off the phone with them Discover and they'll need me to send in a few things via fax/mail so before I do that I'd rather just try and get Arlo to STOP charging me and refund the charges. The services haven't been used for well over 2 years and the fact I can't remove my credit card from an account because I'm not the account holder is ridiculous. I'd also like to know why Arlo thinks it's appropriate to force charges through without an accurate credit card number and increasing subscription rates without consent. I originally just wanted the refund for the past few months this year but considering calling them and telling me "they don't' care" it's my credit card on the account I would like a full refund.

      Canceled my service March 16, 2024 and received a confirmation email from the company. They have continued to charge my credit card from April 2024-June 2025. Sent an email requesting the company to stop charging my credit card and my card to be refunded with no response. There is no customer service phone number to call to get this corrected. I tried using their chat option but was told by chat that I was not eligible to talk to a representative of the company. I have disputed the charges with my cc company, but they can only go back to April 2025.

      SUBJECT: Double billing due to two service subscription for several years. Arlo is basically STEALING. I have tried to resolve issue by closing down the oldest subscription several times but Arlo refuses to work with me due to me not remembering the email address associated with the first (oldest) account. This account dates back at least a decade. I have asked besides my name and email address was there any other information I could provide to validate my identity. No reply. Tried multiple times to resolve issue only to end with "no email address no help". All I wish to do is to close the oldest subscription which would eliminate the double billing. When I suggested to close the latest subscription I was told I will lose various features. Arlo was unable to tell me what encompassed the oldest account service information (features). I stated that I assumed the oldest account services would be upgraded to todays services because I am charged todays rates. Again no reply. Also, I was never given an answer to the question of "how to retrieve the duplicate payments" of $399.78. I would be happy to send you the full "chat" dialogs for the two latest tracking calls. I do understand that the Arlo employees must stick to a script but there must be a point where if the Arlo representative can't help resolve the issue one would elevate a concern/problem to the next higher level. I am writing because I need to resolve this issue. I desperately need your help.

      Arlo continues to sell junk products and they refuse to warranty, or refund customers. They are overcharging for "cloud storage" and it's up to $20 a month. They recommended that I upgrade, so I spent $700 on Ultra cameras, and guess what, I've had problems since day one, and they refuse to do anything about it. I have a brand new working solar panel on one of my Ultra cameras, in direct sunlight, and the camera won't do anything. I have nothing but problems with their products and they refuse to honor any type of warranty or product guarantees. They have become a horrible company and they're just trying to make an extra ***** Terrible unprofessional experience for the last 5 years with this company. Would not recommend any of this overpriced junk to anyone.

      I am disputing charges for the last 12 months totaling $251.12. For over the last 3 1/2 years I have had ongoing problems with your cameras not working, going offline randomly, hours and hours of my time trying to get the cameras to work, unable to talk to anyone live, untrue responses that I will be contacted by by phone on your chat support, etc. When I initially purchased 4 cameras it was difficult to get them to work and was able to speak to a live tech support person and we got them to work. After that I had ongoing problems and about 2 years ago you cancelled your support phone numbers I had. After that timeframe, the only wat to reach you was with the chat support or by email. In most of those events I was unable to get the cameras to start working again. After hours of removing and resetting the cameras I was eventually able to fix the problems sometimes by removing and resetting the cameras, Then last year in August 2024 my 3 year warranty expired and immediately one of the cameras would not hold a charge. Then the cameras continually went offline and randomly would come back on. Currently, the remaining 3 cameras remain offline and I cannot get them to come back online. Yet every month you charge me $21.51 and I have no way of getting support even though there is a message saying I will be contacted by phone. that has never happened to this day. the last support request # is ******** dated 5-27-2025. I also have tried your support by phone where it indicates I will receive a call within 2 minutes. No call back ever! . At this point I want to cancel my account with ****************** and stop getting billed for services not received. Thus, I am requesting a credit of $215.12.

      I was auto-renewed for a subscription plan on June 1, 2025. On June 2, 2025 I noticed a pending charge on my credit card and contacted Arlo Technologies in order to cancel the subscription and cancel the pending charge of $99.00. The fist customer service *** told me to hold and then ghosted me. The second customer *** eventually told me that I could not get my $99 back.

      HI! We bought the Arlo cameras 4 years ago to watch our dogs while we are gone. We bought the cameras solely because we wanted to use the FREE App, and not pay for a subscription. We would like all app fees waived, and provided a free app to use.

      They have automatically changed my plan to ultimate plus and increased the monthly charge. I am not even getting the basic service that I am paying for. They have overcharged me the previous 4 months, which comes to a total of $30.12. They dont even provide a way to contact there billing department. They just want you to start a group chat. I think I can at least cancel the plan using there website, but I want my money back that they overcharged for.
