I ordered service in Dec 2022, then cancelled in Jan 2023. NFHS sent an email confirming the cancellation. But they continued to bill me $12.98 every month, and I just noticed the charge on my Oct statement. It is impossible to call, and when I sent email complaining of the issue, NFHS denies charging me, even though I sent in a picture of my credit card statement and a copy of the cancellation email. This company is a fraud, trying to steal money from parents who want to watch high school games on TV. Once they get your credit card number, they will steal from you every month until you cancel the card. Same as all the other complaints on BBB.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: It took almost a year for the NFHS network to get back to me, and I still deserve to be refunded for the months I was billed after I cancelled (and received confirmation of the cancellation). Refund the rest of what you overcharged me to resolve this issue.

In September, I ordered the **** to watch a high school football game. The video did not work and I was unable to watch the game. I sent an email/chat to cancel the subscription and request a refund. **** billed me twice for the same service and only refunded me once. Now, they are charging my credit card for another month of service. **** has terrible customer service! They only offer a chat bot messaging service so I was unable to resolve this with them directly. I know that 2 of my relatives are trying to get refunds for the same issue. After reading the complaints on this BBB.org, I am concerned that this company is not offering adequate customer service so that customers will continue to get billed without a way to cancel the service. I have paid $23.98 and received one refund for $11.99. I am requesting $11.99 refund. There is also a pending charge for $11.99. If this is not canceled, I am also requesting this to be refunded. The attachments show the credit card charges and the email confirming my refund request and subscription cancellation request.Business Response

By far the absolute worst service i have ever paid for. I have missed 3 of my sons 4 games so far due to "technical difficulties" then the one game that came in glitched so bad, I couldn't even tell what was happening. They have a scoreboard on the bottom of the screen that is right one time per game.... the start when it is 0-0.... all of that, and the sad thing is, that's not even the biggest joke! When you try to reach someone from the company, tech support, phone number, live chat, etc..... the only option is an email address that I'm 99% sure nobody ever sees. All I want is my year of money back and to warn everyone else not to EVER subscribe to this joke.Business Response
