Docusign charged my credit card $300 for an account that I never activated. This looks to be fraud however, per their policy - they are unable to refund me for this renewal charge due to not having canceled the account within 30 days of opening. This is unfortunate for me, because I was unaware that an account was opened under my name with my credit card and had no opportunity to cancel the account within 30 days of it having been opened. The charge for $300 occurred on June 24th, 2024. I contacted Docusign via customer support # on June 24th, 2024. Was told they would not be able to refund this charge. I don't need nor want Docusign services and I am upset with the fraudulent charge to my account.Business Response

Repeated sales emails from DocuSign, now include disrespect for role in organization and involvement in organization despite prior response. Called company to address matter and repeatedly attempted to address concern, was repeatedly transferred to parties who could not support in a different department.Business Response

Dear ***,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced.
We take your concerns very seriously. I went through your account history and I can see some sales type emails from our Sales team. However after going through the email in details I can see that these emails provide you "Unsubscribe" option at the bottom to stop receiving these emails in the future, e.g. -
"To unsubscribe from future DocuSign marketing emails please reply to me or click here ( ********************************************************* ).
If you'd like me to stop sending you emails, please click here ( %unsubscribe_url% )".
Have you tried to unsubscribe using these options? Are you still receiving these emails after 30 days of unsubscribing as it may take us to 30 days for you to be removed from marketing emails.
From myside I am escalating this internally with our Sales team, who will ensure that your email address is promptly removed from our sales communications.
If you have any further concerns or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I am rejecting this response because my principal concern is with the sales representative's disrespect of my position, indicating that I did not wish to talk about the success of my organization in the coming year. This is an inappropriate sales tactic that will not be resolved by "unsubscribing."

I am disputing the theft of money from my account without authorization. That was not the policy when I signed up. Plus I did not agree to automatic renewal further , policy change was not communicated. ***** taken from account I didnt even have when signed up so never could have been authorization of stealing money from that account finally, ********************** has not worked for over 6 months. My notification of problems went without any response. I was finally able to talk with a rep today but she has absolutely no clue what is going on. Put me on hold 5 times. My request to talk to a suoervisor was refused. Last but not least, I was hung up on for my insistence to talk with a suoervisor. You must be losing customers in droves to institute a policy of theft. I am not requesting not to be closed because it should have been closed automatically when I didnt renew. You cant claim both we had an agreement and at the same time that you changed the agreement unilaterally without notification.

I was not informed that there was no cancellation window for the account I was signing up for. After signing up for the account I was unsatisfied with the service and wished to cancel according the the 30 day cancellation policy stated on the Docusign website. Was told that didn't apply to commercial accounts despite the fact that it does not say that on the website. After I informed them that I wanted to cancel and I was unhappy with their services they have failed to respond to my emails and are ignoring me. Fearing that I might be literally stuck using their services because it is so expensive I decided I would try to meet with an onboarding specialist to get the product to work. I scheduled an appointment and set aside time in my day for it and was no showed. I have zero trust for this company and just want to cancel my account and get my money back. What a waste of time and money.Business Response

Hi ****,
I had internally contacted your account team about this issue and I was told that ******************* from the account team has been in contact with you as of May 29 and explained to you that there isn't a cancellation window for commercial plans.
I am requesting the manager from team to contact you as well so he can answer any questions or concerns you have.
I know this is not the outcome you were expecting but unfortunately we cannot provide a refund since there isn't a cancellation window for commercial plans. Please let us know if you have any questions.

I am rejecting this response because:It clearly states on your website that there is a 30-day cancellation policy and it does not differentiate between any type of account. When being told about the account it was never explained at any point that there was no cancellation window.

I have been a client of Docisgn for over a decade, below are some of teh invoice numbers and charges. I signed up with a Realtor discount of $180 a year, for various renewals they re able to see it on their statements.I am now being charged $240.00 because I addded an additional member- and I understand that the new member can pay full prices as he is not a Realtor, but I am an no w they claim that if you add another seat to your account, this cancels your promo. They have not been able to provide evene any fine print as to where this is stated. The representative also said it is not stated anywhere and just sorry for the inconvenience and they will update their website so that this is clear going forward. That doesnt help me. I will not be charged $240 a seat.05/31/2023 Invoice INV41459762 $180.00 05/31/2022 Invoice INV33666778 $180.00 05/31/2021 Invoice INV25776905 $180.00 05/31/2020 Invoice INV18940740 $180.00 06/01/2019 Invoice INV13870859 $180.00Business Response

Hi *******,
I am sorry for any confusion caused by the invoices as I show you do, indeed, have a $60 discount that will be applied. The cost is $240 per user, but looking at future invoice previews, I can see where the $60 discount will be applied. The renewal email we sent you on May 1 shows the discounted renewal price - assuming no plan or subscription changes are made, your account will renew on May 31 for $420, which is inclusive of the $60 discount you have.
I hope this answers your questions and alleviates any concerns you may have.

Docusign charged my business card $1500 without my permission back in November. I have had this platform since 2022. and I renew annually at about $300 a year. I am cleaning up my books and find a random 1 time UNAUTHORIZED charge of $1500 that I would have NEVER signed up for knowingly. I am requesting a full refund, and also going to have my lawyers further investigate as I do not feel this is fair and I am a person who cherished integrity. Docusign has become more known for the lack of integrity it has for its users and I will not tolerate this any bit,Business Response

My company created a docusign account last year for which I assigned my personal credit card using the my company's general email address. When the dollar amount is small (<$300, I can be reimbursed from ***** cash). Later, in order to purchase additional envelopes, I was forced to add an additional user so i linked my personal work email account. Because our envelope usage is so high, I was contacted by a sales rep to discuss our needs and the possibility of upgrading our companys plan. I warned the sales rep that Id need to switch the credit card information over to my companys credit card before they charged for the upgraded plan because I couldnt afford to pay nearly $2k on behalf of my company and await reimbursement. I updated the credit card information under the account login we do all of our business from (our companys general email login). Then, for some reason, docusign used my personal work email login information to pay for the upgrade (I'm assuming? - because I'd already updated the general email login account). If I'd have known that the information needed to be updated under both logins even though it is the same account, inwoukd have done it. *** opened a ticket and asked them to escalate the issue. I said Id be happy to call and provide the other card information via phone. The support case has been open for over a week, the rep basically told me they wont do a refund. I cant afford this on my personal credit card. It was supposed to be billed to my companys credit card.Business Response
