I thought that I had successfully cancelled ********** for the past two months, but I was just billed again. I have followed the directions of several websites or suggestions with no luck. When I do successfully get to a cancel choice, it simply loops me back onto the ********** site. The company can see that I have not used this platform or watched anything for the past two months, so I am asking for a refund of ***** X 2 to be credited to my credit card on file.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have already gone through the web pages and customer support many times only to believe I had cancelled this account 1 1/2 months ago. I find your web page and support very confusing, placing customers in a loop with no practical information. I can not locate a phone number that you referenced in your reply.

On 4/16/2025 $627 dollars was taken from my bank account. There is still $967 pending amount. I did not authorize these withdrawals and have no business with them at all. My bank won't help they want copies of my bank account. I'm not giving them that they already stole all my money.

I've redeemed three Google Play cards from playing games on Swagbucks, totaling 65$ one day. When I try to use the balance, it says that due to some inconsistencies, I need to fill out a form, and someone will contact me to resolve the issue, so I provided the documents required for the form and waited for the email. When they emailed me, they said the same thing about the inconsistency, with no further explanation, and would not reply for weeks when I asked them what the inconsistencies were and what I could do to fix the issue. Then I tried contacting a live agent about the issue, and they transferred the case to their specialist team and said they would follow up with an email. They reached out within 48 hours, but they said the same thing about the inconsistencies and couldn't do anything because they didn't have the authority to resolve the issue, so I asked to transfer the case to a supervisor for a resolution. The supervisor responds within 24 hours and says the same thing about the inconsistencies, but somehow isn't given the information about the inconsistencies. I asked what could be done to reinstate the usage of the Google Play balance but the supervisor said the usage of the specific purchase has been restricted and no further action can be taken on this particular ******* the end, there was no resolution, and $73.49 is sitting in my Google Play account. Some of the balance was rewarded from the Google Opinion Rewards app, which I still use, and I can't even access the balance gained from that.Business Response

We are a new business (Powers Pest Control) that has been trying to get our business up and running. We have been trying to get "verified" for about two months now. We've continued to make efforts to contact someone at Google but nobody calls back or assists. We decided to open an ad campaign thinking that would force them to move our account into searchable status. That also didn't work. I stopped the ad when we found out we still weren't searchable and the ad department couldn't assist us with getting verified. So someone finally called me back today because, "we disputed the charges" on Easter Sunday of all days to explain why we still owe money for something we aren't receiving. I spoke to Rhul at 11:17 am today 4/20/25 who wouldn't give me a manager's name contact info or any assistance other than to continue to tell me we owe the bill. He explained we've had a bunch of impressions and clicks on our account , however we aren't searchable. The clicks are from me or my web designer checking multiple times everyday checking to see if we are searchable. I'm OK still with paying for something I've not received as long as they can at least get us searchable and my we designer can finish what we hired them for.Business Response

I am a disabled customer who relies heavily on ********************** Fi and Google ************* Recently, due to a change in how Google One subscriptions are priced, the integration between my Google Fi Unlimited Plus plan and the bundled Google One storage broke. Despite continuing to pay for the Unlimited Plus planwhich explicitly includes Google Onemy subscription is now marked for cancellation, and Ive been charged separately without authorization or clarity.This billing failure is a backend issue caused by Google, yet customer service refuses to credit me or fix the broken connection, placing the burden of correction on me despite my disability and reliance on these ******** make matters worse, the Unlimited Plus plan is marketed as a premium service, yet it contains highly misleading and predatory design flaws:After 50GB of usage, I am either throttled to unusable speeds or charged $10 per GB.If I opt into this per-GB billing, there is no way to disable it, meaning accidental or background data usage can result in hundreds of dollars in charges with no ability to stop it.Google Fis own Flexible plan is actually a better value for heavy data usersmaking the Unlimited Plus offering not only misleading, but actively harmful for consumers who think they are paying for peace of mind.Customer support has offered no real solutions, failed to escalate my concerns, and refused to take responsibility for a broken system I did not create.Resolution Requested:1. Immediate restoration of my Google One subscription via Fi at no extra charge, as included in the plan.2. Full audit and refund or credit for duplicate Google One charges.3. The ability to disable per-GB billing after 50GB of data on Unlimited Plus, or a warning system to prevent bill shock.4. Public clarification or revision of how the Unlimited Plus plan is marketed.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

I have reached out to the business and have been given the run around by several different employees. I have a Google Pixel Watch 3, that has features that have NEVER worked. I have updated the software on both. I have rebooted, I have factory reset, . I have completed every step they have asked me to, with exception being the video of the issue because as I stated to them, several times, I do not have another device to record on while I do the action. So I gave them a detailed play by play of what exactly I was doing and what the watch was doing in turn. I have watched the instructional video they sent and reported back that my watch wont go past a certain step before reverting back to the beginning and starting again. Once I reach this point in the conversation (which they will only do through e-mail) They send me to a new associate, who starts back at the beginning. They then start the process again which lasts DAYS only to get to the same point in the conversation and be sent to a new associate. I have spent months trying to fix this issue, on my own and with the support provided, and have not gotten anywhere, this poor customer service I have received is not new to me, unfortunately I purchased several new google products at Christmas time and have had issues with more of them sadly with no resolution to any due to the lack of customer service being provided to me.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have already been through all that support and they just keep going in circles with me, constantly changing who I'm speaking with and every new person starts over. It's interesting to me that to get anything accomplished through their 'customer service ' I have to lodge a formal complaint. Otherwise you can only get so far and they pass you off to a new person to start over. This is all through email because phone help cannot help with tech matters.
