      I have been a Netflix subscriber since at least 2008. In college I even was on an investment team that was one of the first to invest in Netflix when the shares were in the $3.00 range. In 2024 our plan was an old Standard plan, but our price was adjusted to $15.49 (up I think from $11.99), and that still included more than 2 simultaneous devices. In January 2024, I changed the billing account on file. Today, I received an email notification that my account was cancelled. There was no prior notice, phone call, or warning. Netflix claims there was a bank dispute; therefore they cancelled my account. This is a boldfaced lie. There was never any user initiated dispute on my end or within my household. Furthermore, even if there was, why would the company just cancel the account? I will tell you why. Because they want to force me out of my old account, give me a lesser plan option and force me to pay the current prices, which would net them more money. I contacted their customer service. They would only say that I can resubscribe, but they would not understand that I was wrongfully kicked out of my grandfathered-in plan. They do not understand the unethical actions of the company. That the company made up a false reason to cancel a members plan so they would force the member to rescubribe at a new and higher rate, and if the member wanted a comparable plan (e.g., more devices to log in), then that member would now have to choose the most expensive plan whereas before the previous plan was adequate. I never requested to cancel my account, I neve initiated a dispute with billing, and yet Netflix claims I did. But, I must emphasize, this is a lie. This is a snakey and cheap tactic to increase revenue. I would not be surprised to find that the company is engaging in other deceitful and illegal behavior. They hire poor inadequate customer service intentionallly too. I expect an apology, my old plan, and one year free.Til then, I will not resubsribe.

      I have been paying $32.84 each month for Netflix service. Today I see that the price went up to $24.00 a month which is less then what I am currently paying. Why am I being overcharged for this service. They never send me an invoice or a bill in the mail or email when I have services like this with apple they always send me an invoice after auto pay.

      I am rejecting this response because: I was being charged more than what the price increase was for for months.  Netflix automatically comes out of my account never sends me a bill or a statement after the bill was paid. There is no transparency with how Netflix operates

      I tried to change my plan with Netflix and pay for the new plan. It told me I could not change plans without first entering my updated payment. I entered it and was charged for a plan I did not want. I tried changing plans as it suggested I could only to found out it would not change for 30 days. This is so misleading and I just want the standard plan. Please prorate my account accordingly or issue a refund. This literally is stressful for me.

      12/24/24 I purchased a 1 mon std plan $15.49/mon and an extra member 7.99/mon ****** 0388. 1/14/25 both canceled by Netflix (less than a mon) I contacted Netflix 1/14/25 to fix the problem *** said my sub had been combined w/the extra member slot and that I had "used" all of my service as of 1/14/25 and I would have to restart my service and be billed an additional mon for the std plan even though I had only received 21 days.Netflix is trapping members into paying for a plan for the next month in order to get the full mon of service.Netflix states that you can cancel your membership before the end of the mon to ensure you are not billed the next mon but will continue to be able to use your subscription thru the end of your mon subscription. I canceled my sub on 1/7/25 to ensure I would not be billed for another mon. Netflix MOVED UP my billing date to 1/14/25 stating that I had "COMBINED" my mon plan usage with an extra member slot. Instead of billing me for the extra member slot when I purchased it on 12/24/24, Netflix held that billing until the next billing cycle trying to make me pay for another mon of the Std Plan $15.49 Netflix combined my std plan & extra member slot for only 21 days access instead of 1 mon as advertised without informing me upon purchase. Instead of billing me for the extra member slot on the day I purchased it Netflix is trapping customers into having to pay for another full mon of a Plan. I was told I had to restart my membership for the $15.49 plan which I would be billed & the $7.99 extra member slot I ordered 12/24/24 in order to gain access to Netflix. This is bait and switch and deceptive billing practices that are not advertised on the Netflix site when customers sign up but are only informed after the fact when the account is turned off before the full one mon cycle. As a consumer I should not be trapped into having to pay for another month of service in order to receive the monthly service I was offered and accepted upon sign-up.

      I dont know why the heck you would do this, but you took the notebook off of Netflix and that really made me wanna kill myself and I like cant live my life without having this movie free to me and accessible all the time so I need you to put the movie back onto my stream platform or else. Im actually going to jump off of a bridge right onto the highway or hang myself in my garage and leave my car running with the garage door closed until I die and then once Im dead, Im going to have someone come in and hack me to pieces and then light me on fire. If you do not put this movie back on Netflix thank you.

      Despite having purchased an ad-free subscription from Netflix, I am still receiving advertisements in live shows, such as the new *** events. My plan clearly-states that it is ad-free, and there are no disclaimers anywhere which state that live-shows may still have advertisements. This was not communicated at all prior to purchasing my subscription, and it continues to not be communicated to new subscribers who are choosing plans. This is easily verifiable as you can go on the "change plan" section your Netflix account, note that you are on an ad-free subscription, and then go watch the new *** episode sonly to see baked-in advertisements. Upon reaching out to customer support, I was told this is normal to see such ads anyway.This is rather fraudulent as Netflix is not honoring its subscription terms, and is charging people money for a service they are not fulfilling. They claim that this is not entirely in their control but I would like to pre-emptively dispute this claim. People that tuned into the the same show oversees report not having seen any ads during their programming. So there is no excuse why in the ***, we are paying for ad-free and still receive ads.

    Netflix, Inc. is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

    To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.

    Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
