Docusign requires users to email requests to downgrade subscriptions, I emailed Docusign on December 1, 2023 to downgrade from the $65 monthly plan to the $45 monthly plan. I received a response on December 2, 2023 confirming my subscription was downgraded (case number: ********). The following month in January, I was still charged $65 and have been charged $65 from January 2024-April 2024. Throughout this time, I have contacted Docusign and spoke with the customer service department on two separate occasions where I was informed I would be refunded (case number ********). I have not received a refund as of yet, and we are approaching another billing cycle and I will be forced to cancel. I would like a refund and for this to be resolved immediately.Business Response

Hi *******,
I can see where your account is set to the Standard plan for $45 per month but you are being charged $65 in error. I will work with our Support and Finance teams to get this corrected and immediately refunded. Your new case number is ******** as your previous case was already closed. Please look for additional communication from our support team via the case email.
I really apologize for any frustration this has caused you. I will make sure this is handled with urgency.

Business reached out to process our renewal. I requested a change for same. They informed that because renewal was 30 days away we could not make any changes. No where was that indicated in any paperwork we signed. I then requested to cancel the renewal and was promised a response within 3 days. I did not hear back from anyone.Business Response

Hello ******,
Your account is managed with an account team and is governed by a contract. As such, your issue with billing and contract terms must be handled by your account team and not something that can be resolved in this forum. I see there is an email thread that includes members of your account team as well as our renewals email address. It will be necessary for them to resolve this for you. I have notified that team of your BBB message to help move things forward.
Best,

I renewed a basic account on 03/30/2024 for $319.80. In April I decided to upgrade to Business Pro and was charged an additional $464.06 - the full price for the upgraded account without credit or refund for the basic account I had just paid for. I was only prorated a single month, but that means I was charged a total of $783.86 for this year, while the Business Pro should only have charged me $480 for the year, less the applicable credit for one month of my subscription that was basic plan. Please issue a full refund of my March invoice payment of $319.80 since I upgraded from that plan and fully paid for Business Pro. To date the company has ignored my messages and I cannot get in touch with a person, only their online bots. The attached invoices, both having been paid, show that I was charged for the same service period twice!Business Response

Hi ******,
Thank you for contacting Docusign Customer Support.
I am sorry to hear that you were double charged and are having difficulty with getting the refund for this double charge. I will do my best to find you a quick resolution for this issue.
I checked your account. I can see that you have already logged a support case ******** for this issue and they have already provided you the details of what happened. It seems when you did the upgrade from the Standard to the Business Pro plan, $283.11 USD were already credited to your account.
We can submit the refund request for this credit. You just need to let us know in the support case if is it okay to issue the refund to the same payment method originally billed or to the one that has been updated on the system. Also you need to provide us with the last 4 digits of it in your update in the support case so we can confirm it on our end that payment is going to the right channel. You can just reply back to support's case email update with this information. Hope it helps.
Please let us know if you need any further help with this issue.
Thanks.

I am rejecting this response because: Docusign claims they "have already provided you the details of what happened." This is a complete lie. I filed a complaint with the company and they have not reached out in any way nor have they replied to the complaint. I have attached a screenshot of the support case which is still unanswered and unresolved. To the suggestion in the company's BBB reply, yes, refunding the first charge from March to it's original payment method would be preferred. I'm quite frustrated that I have to go to the BBB to get Docusign to reply to a double charge complaint rather than getting in touch with me by their support website. I was double charged and have not been credited, refunded, or even replied to outside of the BBB forum.
Sincerely,

Hi ******,
Thank you for contacting Docusign Customer Support.
I checked your support case ******** that you have logged for this issue and I can see that you have responded yesterday by providing this confirmation in the support case "Yes I want issued to original payment card. So I AGREE TO RECEIVE ON THE **** ENDING IN << *0798>> THE PARTIAL REFUND FOR THE PAYMENT ORIGINALLY CHARGED TO THE **** ENDING IN <<0798>>". Also please note that your account has not been downgraded to free, and is on the Business Pro - Annual subscription. Hope it clarifies.
Please let us know if you need any further help with this issue.
Thanks.

Ive had Docusign for many years and been a loyal client . Last year as I was going away for a long break I took my docusign off auto renewal as I knew i was not going to use it for almost 3 months . When I returned I paid $240 and re joined .Now they are trying to bill me three months early and say I had a subscription and I did not .I spoke to two supervisors and their customer service for Billing is the worst !!!I want a credit for the 3 months or I want the use of the year I paid for .Docusign Service wants me to pay even though I had no service I want this resolved asap as I will not oh for something I did not get .Im furious at the attitude and ignorance of their employees who can do nothing to resolve a problem as I wasted 2 hours .It also amazes me that they are hiding with no No e mail contact .Shame on you .If need be and I hear nothing I will arbitrate and complain to consumer complaints as this is Very Bad Business practice and Im sure not legal .Business Response

Hi *****,
Your subscription auto-renewed in May of last year but the payment was not taken until July. This does not change the billing term, still being May to May each year.
That said, I can understand that the invoice may not have been clear when payment was made. As a one time courtesy, I will work with our support experts to put a $60 credit on your account. This way when the account renews in May, you will only be charged $180 to account for the 3 months difference. Please look for an update from the case owner, ******.
Thank you for your patience,

Docusign has been billing me for an inactive account. I called their billing service today and spoke with ******* and she had me on hold for over 20 mins. Refused to refund my account although it's inactive. I can't log in unless I activate it. She didn't even cancel the account as she kept telling me she couldn't. I am headed towards another billing cycle and she refused to stop the service before I am billed again.Business Response

Hi *****,
I'm really sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had with Docusign's billing service. It's disappointing that support wasn't able to provide the assistance you needed and kept you on hold for such a long time.
It's definitely important to ensure that you're not being charged for a service you're not using. I can confirm to you now that we have successfully processed the refund for your account and closed it as per your request. The refund for $210 has been issued back to your payment method, and you should see the amount reflected in your account shortly.I hope this resolves your concerns. Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.
Best regards.

I was wrongly charged monthly for a service that I already had through my *********** Brokerage OnPath Realty. somehow 2 profiles were created and when I attempted to send out an envelope I was given a hard stop and had to upgrade my plan to send out an envelope which needed to be sent that night. I attempted customer service for assistance as I did not think this was correct but kept getting rerouted and disconnected. Docusign is a great service but this monthly charge was issued in error and should be refunded to me.Business Response

Hi *****,
I see where the duplicate account was located and canceled. For that duplicate account it looks like you paid a total of $70 - I will get all of that refunded to you since it was clearly in error. You should see the funds returned to your payment method on file within 3-5 business days, depending on your financial institution.
To make sure, are you now able to login and use your company account that you were trying to get into before?
Thank you,

This is my second year with this service, and I have had a horrible experience. The salesperson sells you a package to receive a commission, you never receive any formal training on using their software, and when you complain, it is impossible to speak with someone. One day last month I attempted to speak with a supervisor and was hung up on twice, the friendly people I did speak with weren't able to help me, and although I put in a request to be called back by a supervisor, that never happened; however I received a notice that my case was being closed although there was no resolution. Now the company is calling to sell me another package because I was never informed that voided contracts counted as used contracts. Again, this is because I was only sold a package but never offered training. Therefore, we've voided 82 contracts! When I advised the new salesperson we were never told that, all she did was try to sell me another package for $2k after we had just paid them $1,200 less than 2 months ago.Business Response

Hi ********,
Your account is governed by a contract and as such, any issues with billing or your contract must be addressed by your account team. I see your account executive has reached out via email recently.

Complaint: 21516632
I am rejecting this response because:
In February, I spent the entire day on the phone trying to speak with someone, however, got hung up on twice, and spoke with several people whom were unable to help me. I requested a call back from a supervisor, which I never received. The only reason I was assigned an account manager was to sell me another package. When I advised her that my package still had envelopes remaining, because we'd voided some contracts out, all she did was told me voided contracts counted and attempted to sell me another package for $1800 or $2k. She didn't offer a resolution regarding the 80 plus contracts we'd paid for and thought we could void and resend. Your company offered us no formal training that taught us that voided contracts would count, therefore we didn't know. Your company's only concern is selling products and once that task is completed, it's impossible to reach anyone. If you do, they can't help, and you're unable to speak with a supervisor. My experience with this company was unreal! How could a company this large operate with such limited resources for its customers?

I have been receiving a charge of ***** monthly to my Pay Pal from this company and my attempts to stop it have gone ignored. I am told they cannot locate the account. The email address listed never receives a response. I have been calling for years only to be told they cannot locate an account.I filed a complaint here, only for them to say they cannot locate account and STILL charging me. One individual located something and told me they could refund half my money instead of all and then hung up when I asked to speak with manager. Case # ********.

March 18th, 2024 I was charged $195 (3 seats), but had downgraded my plan prior to the renewal date, and received a confirmation from Docusign, that my new amount is $130 (2 seats). See the confirmation attached from Docusign that effective March 17th, 2024 I was on a 2 seat plan for $130.Docusign has since made the correction to my plan, but has refused to issue refunds on a monthly plan. This is not a refund of a plan change post-date. This is an error on Docusign's part for invoicing me for 3 seats on March 18th instead of the confirmed 2 seats. Please issue a credit to my bank for your error in the amount of $65. Not a billing credit for next month's statement, but a full refund of the $65. I have gone back and forth several times, I just want this to get resolved.Business Response

Hi Amantha -
Apologies for any confusion, your case is being handled by an expert that knows to refund you the full amount of $65 (+tax, as applicable).
