      I signed up with Saleforce Professional Edition with Monthly billing after agreeing to a contract they refuse to honor monthly billing or Professional Edition. My sales rep acknowledges this error but is unable or unwilling to help. There is no support or help to get this resolved.

      I purchased a license online from their platform. I never received the license I had to dispute the charges. Then in a 2nd attempt I tried to go through a sales account manager which gave me too many licenses. I had made commitments with other Sales Force 3rd party vendors which had started integrations while trying to resolve a simple billing and invoice change. They were reluctant to make any changes even though it had been min while noticing the error. There is no way to contact billing and my account manager and I have sent emails for 6 weeks without a single response in the matter. The communication has to be the worst I've ever experienced. For a large public company who is focused on technology you would think they have a robust resolution process and fast response times.

      I signed up for a FREE ACCOUNT on the Heroku platform. Salesforce purchased the platform and converted the free accounts to ones that accrue costs, without me agreeing to this. I tried to log on to my account to delete it but it requires me to agree to new terms that I find disagreeable. I contacted their support and they're refusing to delete my account for me. I find this all to be extremely unethical, theft really. I would like my account and information deleted preeminently as well as for Saleforce to cease charging people for accounts/transactions they never agreed to, never knew would have costs of ANY KID.

      After purchasing a Tableau subscription through SalesForce, I've been trying to contact customer service as there are components of the subscription that aren't working properly. I have been reaching out daily for about a month now, and have so far been unable to contact anyone at Salesforce to respond to my messages or troubleshoot my issues. Had I know there would be 0 support, I never would have spent money on this product.I would like either:1) To actually get some help from the company I am paying for this service or 2) A full refund of all $ spent on Tableau.

      On 7/23 I emailed Salesforce billing team requesting a payment plan for my purchase. On 7/25 I was advised by Salesforce Billing team that I could receive a payment plan for my purchase of $450 once my invoice was generated by the billing team. Invoice was generated on 8/2. I sent email to billing team as advised once emailed.since 8/2 I have received lies and delays. The same billing team that told me I could receive a payment plan once invoice generates, is now saying I cannot receive one.All emails attached and email is provided specifically where they advised a payment could be received.I not only want an apology, I want a refund or a payment plan along with access to my salesforce classes. all email correspondences are attached. Due to me not only being lied to, but also due to the poor customer serviced received. you will see how many times I have emailed with little to no response. Also want contact via phone for this apology and confirm of refund or payment plan via phone. with an email following up to confirm.

      On several occasion, starting around March 2022, I've tried to get SalesForce to cancel their service and refund me monies due to financial hardship> to date they have not provided me with a solution instead keep referring to a 12 month contractual obligation. I own a very small business and unfortunately my company isn't doing as well as expected. In order for me to keep the company afloat I need to cut unnecessary costs. My SalesForce account number is ********

      I purchased their plan for small business CRM on March 7th for $300 for the 1st quarter. The program never worked as there were constant issues and tried navigating the issues with tech support for 6 weeks with no luck. They could never determine the problem so I asked for a full refund which the support rep approved. Then the internal team informed my rep that they werent going to approve my refund as I hadnt given the tech support enough time. After escalating to the *** the refund was approved. They remitted to the card on file, but that card was compromised. When I asked for them to reissue, they asked for my bank info which I provided. I never heard back from them for over a week. I just requested an update to which they claimed that my bank account was compromised (which isnt true) and will not reissue a refund. It was for invoice ********.

      I am having a challenging time with Salesforce/******* with canceling ******* services that I stated in writing back in August 2021 that I no longer want. It is extremely difficult for users to go into the system and cancel services (a ****** search reveals that), so I reached out to the account manager (and had a phone call). Now the company, via Salesforce, continue to **** me for a new year--though I have not gone in and accessed ******* in a year--and keep the services attached to my name. Because I knew I requested cancellation directly from the account manager and, thus, thought email from the "billing department" was spam, until I received an email saying that the **** will be sent to a 3rd party collections agency on May 30th. Since then, I have been reaching out to the collections department (*****, who turned off the automatic trigger to send the **** to collections) customer service, the ** team (Wubet, who has been nonresponsive), and now billing (*******, who responded this morning at ~3:30pm with sending me the invoice, but not addressing anything else.
