I have been charged 3 times now, August, September and October for a Verv charge in the amount of $29.99 each, that I NEVER signed up for. I never even downloaded this app. I have no idea what it is or why its being charged. Ironically three different card numbers show up on my bank statement, there is only one of those that I recognize. I will be disputing all the charges with my bank today! ******.Business response

I am rejecting this response because it’s a bold face lie. I downloaded weight loss walking by slim kit and immediately deleted the app when it said there was a subscription price. The only other subscription to an app I had was for Lose It and I cancelled that subscription prior to it renewing.I want a refund of the 3 months I was charged for that I knew nothing about. Thank you
Sincerely,
Amanda JohnsonBusiness response
10/14/2024
Dear Amanda,
According to your activity history, you did start the first workout in the app. Please note that deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. You could have canceled the subscription within the app or by contacting support.
That said, I have processed a refund for the most recent payment, as it falls within our refund policy. Unfortunately, I cannot process refunds for the other payments as they do not qualify under the refund policy. You can expect to receive the refund within 5-10 business days.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because: I have checked all my subscriptions and purchases in my phone and no walking app is in there. I attached pictures. I also checked my credit card and there is a payment for September 2024 and for October 2024. I would like both payments refunded back and do not authorize anymore payments to be taken. If I would have purchased this app subscription it would show up on my account subscription information.
Sincerely,

Hello,
Thank you for your message. Id like to clarify that your subscription was purchased through our website, which is why it does not appear in your phone's subscription section. You can check the status of your subscription by logging into your account in the Walking by Slimkit app.
This subscription is linked to your web account, and it's important to note that our system cannot process orders without user authorization. Before confirming the purchase, our platform clearly displayed the subscription terms, including the total payment amount. By proceeding, you agreed to these terms, which also included the auto-renewal feature unless the subscription was canceled.
Additionally, our records show that the app was installed on your device following the purchase. We understand there may be some confusion, and were here to help resolve this issue.
Regarding your request for a refund, I can issue a refund for the October transaction, as it falls within our refund policy. However, Im unable to process a refund for the September payment, as it does not meet the criteria outlined in the policy you agreed to before completing the purchase.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out. We're here to help!Customer response

Dear *****,
We understand your concerns, and we appreciate your feedback. As mentioned previously, based on the evidence we provided, the subscription was purchased and confirmed under your account. Please note that we do not charge users without their authorization, and before confirming any purchase, the full details, including the automatic renewal, were presented.
The subscription was for the Walking by Slimkit app, not Verv, which may explain why you didnt find records under Verv. Since this matter involves a dispute with your bank, we recommend continuing that process for further resolution.
