  I signed up for a seven day free trial on ALLBLK Tv. When I signed up, I selected the $5.99/month plan. My card was charged $64.04 instead. And not only that, it was charged ON THE SEVENTH DAY. That is a violation and I want a full refund. My account was cancelled on the same day the trial was due to end but my account had already been charged. It is almost impossible to cancel, it took forever to figure out how. Also there is no way to speak to a live person. I saw that there is no refund for partial billing periods but it can't possibly be legal to charge me for a year subscription for something I had seven days and only watched twice. I hope this can be resolved as quickly as you all took it from my account!!! Please issue my refund!!

  I did a free 7 day free trial. I started it on October 14th and I canceled and I have a confirmation from ALLBLK that I canceled on October 19th. I canceled on day 5. These people think they are sneaky and on the 21st, they took out **** out of my account. I have sent numerous emails and all they say is I am cancelled and no more payments will be taken out. So tell me why this one was? I said I want it reversed and I want my $ back. I get no response. I let them know if I did not get my $ back I would file a complaint on the BBB. I received no response, which tells me, they clearly could care-less. I am beyond mad that they think this is a way of doing business. Don't do a free 7 day trial when you are going to charge someone regardless. I did not even cancel on last day. I did it on day 5 and I was sent an email stating it had been canceled. Proof of cancelation is included. Nice way to think your being sneaky and stealing peoples $. I want my money back on my card and I want it back now.

  On 7/31/22, I emailed the AcornTV support team (since they do not offer help/contact via a phone number. My issue was AND remains that the resume play function does not work. So, every time I attempt to resume watching any tv show or movie on this streaming channel, it starts over from the beginning. I have resubmitted this help ticket several times and this help ticket has even been closed several times without being resolved. I have followed every step of their recommendations in their original response and reported back to them, answering all their questions. Yet, this issue is STILL not resolved for nearly 3 months now. Just this week I have found additional playback issues. For example, I cannot view the 7th episode of ******* ***** ****** at all. Every time I attempt to view this episode, I am shot out of the AcornTV channel altogether and taken back to my Home Screen on my TV.Since 4/4/21, I have paid an annual fee of at least $59.99 (renewing this membership each year). I am receiving this channel for free. However, the refuse to resolve my issue for months, sometimes without even a response for weeks.I am requesting a complete resolution AND A full refund for the months since 7/31/22 that I am not been able to view these shows as advertised and paid for.

  I cancelled my subscription 4/25/22 in my apple subscriptions. Every month since then I’ve been charged 5.99. I disputed may & June with my bank and was credited the money back bc I provided proof I cancelled my subscription through apple. I was charged again for July and August. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to cancel this subscription & this whole situation is giving fraud.
