  I had an exisiting account on Tinder, then made an account on Hinge and believe my account was banned by an automated system for no reason. Their appeal system did not review my case correctly as I have no broken the community guidelines.

  I am rejecting this response because:   I have never ever messaged anyone on Hinge and only just set up my profile as per the guidelines. I do not understand how this could have broken the guidelines when I did not have a single match. The response does not make sense.

  I was using hinge normally and I was interested in seeing my statistics using the app so I submitted a data request through the application. The next day, I was banned without reason and after submitting a thorough apology and unban request, this was denied. I find this extremely frustrating as the communication is non-existent.

  I am rejecting this response because:   I did exactly what they said and submitted a ban appeal apologizing and agreeing to continue to use Hinge in alignment with the terms and services and was swiftly rejected with no recourse or chance for rehabilitation.  I have used Match Group applications for 7 years and never had an issue but was banned from hinge in a matter of months with 0 clarification.  I do not agree with their decision to continue having me banned on the app.

  I am rejecting this response because:   I tried to appeal with hinge and i got response, "Our team has reviewed your appeal request and confirmed that you are in violation of our Terms of Service and our Community Guidelines. Therefore your account will remain banned. This decision is informed and final and subsequent appeals will not be considered." I'm uncertain about the specific reasons for my removal and which community guidelines I may have unknowingly violated. It seems that the actions taken against my account did not provide an opportunity for me to defend myself or gain insights into any potential mistakes. I kindly request a reconsideration of my removal, with the hope of being reinstated on the platform. I genuinely enjoyed using Hinge to connect with new people and explore meaningful connections, and I would appreciate the opportunity to continue doing so. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  Complaint against:Hinge / Match Group, Inc.Nature of complaint:Unfair and unexplained account ban despite being a respectful user.?Complaint:I am submitting this complaint regarding Hinge (operated by Match Group, ***** after my account was unfairly banned without explanation.I have always conducted myself respectfully on dating apps and have never had issues elsewhere. Shortly before my ban, I went on a single date with someone I met on Hinge. After realizing we did not have romantic chemistry, I politely let them know I did not wish to meet again. Unfortunately, this person began to harass me for weeks afterward through texts and social media. My Hinge account was banned soon after, which leads me to believe they may have submitted a retaliatory report against **** attempted to contact Hinge through their support channels to explain the situation and request a review, but have not received meaningful assistance or reinstatement of my account. As someone who recently moved to a new city, I was hoping to use the app to meet new friends and potential dates.I am asking for Hinge/Match Group to properly investigate my case, share the specific reason for the ban, and reinstate my account if no legitimate violation of community guidelines is found.Thank you for your help in resolving this matter.

  Thank you for forwarding Match Groups response to my complaint. While I appreciate that they claim to have conducted a human review, I remain concerned that my ban appears to have resulted from a false or retaliatory report after I politely declined to see someone again.
  
  
  I have never received any specific information about what part of the Terms of Use I allegedly violated, which prevents me from meaningfully addressing or disputing the claim. The companys refusal to share any detail undermines transparency and accountability, and I worry this policy allows malicious users to target others unfairly.
  
  
  I still respectfully request that Hinge/Match Group:
  
  
  Provide a clear explanation of what specific behavior or content led to the ban
  Reconsider reinstating my account, especially since Ive never had issues on other platforms and have always conducted myself respectfully
  
  
  
  I hope the BBB can help advocate for a fairer and more transparent review process.

  my Hinge dating app account was banned without any warning, explanation, or evidence of a policy violation. I had purchased a 6-month subscription for over $100 in good faith and used the platform respectfully and in full compliance with its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.I contacted Hinge (operated by Match Group******) to request clarification and appeal the ban, but I received no response. I was not informed of what rule I allegedly violated, the nature or date of the incident, or given any path to appeal. This lack of transparency and refusal to provide answers is unacceptable, especially for a paid service.I am now locked out of the service I paid for, and I have not been refunded for the remaining time on my subscription. As a paying customer, I feel this treatment is deceptive and possibly in violation of consumer protection laws, including the ************************ Act.I am asking Match Group, **** to:1.Provide a clear explanation of why my account was banned;******* a formal appeals process;3.Refund me for the unused portion of my 6-month subscription.I am seeking a fair and timely resolution to this matter.??

For desired settlement, choose: Refund and/or Explanation of Business Practice Let me know if youd like to plug in the actual date of your ban or purchase for extra

  On or about June 11, 2025, I re-subscribed to Match.com, having been a member on and off for many years. My stored credit card did not appear when I was making the purchase, so I used my *************** credit card. The card was declined even though it was in excellent standing. The site said to use a different credit card so I used my ***** ********** card and it went through without difficulty. I called *************** to ask why the card was declined. I was told that *************** has red-flagged Match.com due to fradulent activity and because I had not previously used that card at that site and because Match is red-flagged, they viewed it as suspicious and declined payment. Within 24 hours Match had shut down my account due to "suspicious activity."I attempted more than a dozen times to email Match customer service, including filing what they identify as a "ban appeal." I never received an individualized response to correct the problem. Instead I received auto responses which in no way solved the issue. I didn't do anything wrong and Match has caused me extreme distress as I had had some connections already established and my account was removed through no cause of my own and was never given any help.I tried to set up a new account, but the site would not verify my phone number (presumably because it was blocked from their having removed my account). The message said contact customer service which is impossible as there are only auto responses with respect to my situation. At first, I wasn't even aware that they apparently credited my ***** Fargo account and I filed a complaint with the ***. The issue is they run a business and take no responsibility for interacting with customers who pay and set up an account. They should be shut down and don't deserve to do business in *****************.

  Good Afternoon,

  Please note that members who have already submitted an appeal request will receive a direct response to the appeal via the e-mail address associated with the Match account after the account has been reviewed by a representative. Although Match strives to review appeals as promptly as possible, appeal requests are reviewed in the order they are received, and we are unable to expedite the position of an appeal request in the processing queue.

  In the interim, please be assured that the subscription associated with the account has been refunded to the original method of payment. However, funds may take 5-10 business days to be received.

  Thank you.

  I am rejecting this response because:   the only reason I filed an appeal is because Match refused to answer my multiple emails regarding this matter and it was impossible to reach any real person on Match to address this. ALL OF THE EMAILS ARE IN MATCH'S SYSTEM AS THEY WENT THROUGH THEIR "CUSTOMER REPLY" SYSTEM. THE ONLY REASON MY ACCOUNT WAS SHUT DOWN WAS BECAUSE *************** HAS MATCH.COM RED-FLAGGED IN THEIR SYSTEM AS A CENTER FOR FRAUD.  AS I HAD NOT USED MY BOF A CREDIT CARD PREVIOUSLY ON THIS SITE, BANK OF AMERICAN DECLINED THE TRANSACTION.  MATCH PENALIZED ME WHEN IN FACT IT IS THEIR PLATFORM WHICH CAUSED *************** TO RED-FLAG THE TRANSACTION BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH FRAUD ON MATCH.COM.  THE ACTION HAS CAUSED ME DISTRESS AND AS SOMEONE WHO IS RECOVERING FROM CANCER, I DON'T APPRECIATE IT.  A BUSINESS HAS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND NOT RESPOND BY SAYING ESSENTIALLY THAT IT'S TOO BAD A CUSTOMER HAS TO WAIT UNTIL THEY GET TO THEIR REQUEST NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES WHEN THEY IN FACT MIS-MANAGED THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT.  IT'S OUTRAGEOUS; I'M TREATED LIKE I DID SOMETHING WRONG WHICH I DIDN'T AND THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. ********************** SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AS A BUSINESS AND SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE BBB CONTACTING MATCH--LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, THEY RESPOND WITH A CANNED EMAIL. THE BBB SHOULD RED-FLAG THEM AND NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY CONSUMER.

  Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, Match is only able to accept appeal requests submitted through the Match appeal form: ********************************************************************************************

  We encourage you to submit an appeal request for review so that it can be reviewed by our appeals team.

  As an additional note to address any misunderstanding, the transaction for this account was declined by the provider of the payment method associated with this account.

  I am rejecting this response because:   The response from Match is again an example of how they completely disregard communication from match members.  I told them repeatedly in multiple emails that the reason *************** declined the transaction was because *************** has RED-FLAGGED MATCH.COM AS A PLATFORM THAT HAS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY.  As I had never used my BofA card to pay for a Match subscription and they flag the site for fraud, the transaction was declined.  Match repeatedly fails to accept their role as being a platform filled with fraud and instead penalizes me, someone who has used Match for years.  

  I have an additional complaint against Match which I will file separately with both the *** and BBB.  ************ should not be permitted to do business and this complaint process, while I appreciate the access, is worthless.

  I was recently, wrongfully banned from match.com for no apparent reason. When I inquired repeatedly asking for an explanation, I did not receive a response. If they are going to ban you, they should provide an explanation rather than leaving a member in suspense. I strongly feel that I am entitled to a reason since I do not feel that I violated their guidelines in any fashion.

  I am certainly entitled to a detailed explanation as to why I was banned.

  I strongly feel that I am entitleded to an explanation. If a viewer violated the match.com guidelines regarding my profile, I am entitled to receiving an explanation whether that is the case. If that is the case, I would feel uncomfortable creating a new account.

  I am rejecting this response because match is being very uncooperative & unrealistic. I am requesting a reason why zi was banned from web site. 

  Customer Answer

  Date: 07/15/2025

  Since match group is refusing to provide a reason as to why I was banned, I am requesting that they provide me w/ my detailed profile in order to use so that I could create a new profile. I did not save it.

  I am rejecting this response because I submitted my appeal to Match.com as per their request. In my appeal, I re-iterated that I have been a long-time member for many years. During my membership, I have always followed the rules and regulations. I specifically asked for an explanation of what constitutes "suspicious activity". Match.com still has not answered my question and has not provided a specific definition or explanation to me. Therefore, my account should be re-instated. 

  Match.com then denied my appeal without providing any reason or justification for denying my appeal. Their entire message was that my appeal is denied and we know this is not the outcome that I wanted.

  I am rejecting this response because the response from the business fails to address the problem at all. The business is refusing to provide proof of any kind that my account has been hacked or tampered with in any way. In the absence of any proof, there is no reason or justification for the business to terminate my account.

  wanted to share my story and ask for some understanding.I was banned from Hinge back in college, during a time when I wasnt taking dating apps seriously. I used them in a careless and immature way, and I fully own up to that. But Ive grown a lot since ********, years later, Im genuinely looking for love. As Ive gotten older, its been harder to meet people naturally, and Hinge was one of the few places where I actually found meaningful connections.I truly want to use the app the way it was intendedto build something real with someone. I respectfully ask for a second chance to prove that Ive changed and that Im serious about finding love.Thank you for your time and consideration.

  I am rejecting this response because:   
  

  Dear Hinge Team/Reviewer, 

  My account was recently banned and I have been in the process of appealing or trying to understand why/correct this. If it was not because of travel it may be Possibly due to a misunderstanding. A friend used my phone recently and may have sent inappropriate messages. I take full responsibility and sincerely apologize. There is also the possibility that my account was hacked. Im a genuine person and had a match I was speaking with and lost because of this ban.
  
  If possible, Id love a second chance on the platform. But if not, I kindly request that you delete all my personal data in accordance with privacy laws.
  
  Thank you for your time and understanding

  Best, 

  Gage

  Hello, I have been using Tinder and OK Cupid for years. My pictures are of me and they are real. I have always been a gentleman. I have never violated any of the community standards. I used the services while on vacation in **** and, while I was there, both services banned me from their websites for life with absolutely no explanation as to why. I have messaged them several times and they refuse to identify a single reason for banning me. I feel I have been discriminated against for some reason because I have never done anything wrong in either website and I met people in both that I had plans to meet for dates. I feel this is unfair. How can you ban me from using a site without any reason? Isnt discrimination illegal?

  I am rejecting this response because:   You have permission to reveal the reason for the ban. It is my account, there is no privacy concern. Furthermore, I did not do anything wrong and I have never done anything wrong. If someone said I did, it was a lie or it was revenge reporting. You can not ban me without legitimate evidence otherwise it is discriminatory. Why was I banned and what legitimate evidence do you have that what you claim I did was true? My pictures are of my face, they are of me , they are real and I have always been a gentleman in my interactions.
