    On October 23, 2023 I was charged for a service I had agreed upon. I was hiring a ******* assistant however after trying three assistants they all either "didn't show up" or "fell asleep" during the training. I was promised each time a new hire who would be a better fit however we never got past two or three days before running into problems. I was billed for the month and when I requested the refund I was only offered another virtual assistant.

    HI I have been trying to reach them prior to them billing my credit card and since they billed my credit card but have had two people call back to say someone else will call me back but they never do.I cancelled my service and was paid up till the end of January, but they would not provide the support i paid for. I also emailed and called prior to the months end to make sure they did not bill my CC for February but they did anyway.

    On April 13, 2022 a yearly charge came through for a year's subscription to Brivity ($3569.90), followed by a monthly charge of $349.99 per month being charged on May 13, 2022. In July I requested to cancel my service and asked for a partial refund, and from there we stopped hearing from Brivity. After several emails and weekly calls and voicemails left for ***************************, the last person who stated they'd be in touch with us after speaking with their leadership team, we still have not heard back from anyone. I would like this to be resolved with a refund issued for my non-use of their service and all ties severed before I am charged again.
