I made a request for a refund for my Solidworks Subscription a few days after I made the purchase. I filled out the necessary form on Cleverbridge's website.

I have reached out again and still waiting on a response.Business response

I paid $69.99 to the company Parallels for a product that would "upgrade" a subscription to a lifetime. However, the activation instructions only mentioned that my free trial could not be upgraded AFTER I bought the product. I would think this is a non issue as there is a refund request reason for incorrect item purchased. However, right when I send the refund request and check on it, the status says solved, which cancels out my refund request right as I send it to avoid paying me, in addition to not receiving the promised response from them in 24 hours or less. I would say for that reason they are not only not following their refund guidelines, they are not contacting me back, they are preventing getting a refund, and are avoiding resolving the situation.Business response

Dear ******* *******,
Thank you for your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience youve experienced.
Parallels handles support and refund processing on their end, and I can confirm that your previous requests have been forwarded to them directly. However, to expedite the resolution, we have now processed a refund on your behalf.
You will receive a confirmation shortly, and the refunded amount will be reimbursed to your Apple Pay account within 35 business days.We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we regret any inconvenience caused. Please dont hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.

I have attempted unsuccessfully to cancel my subscription to ********************************* Suite, having repeatedly walked through their confusing and circular fake cancellation process online, keeps dumping me back to same place with no resolution and no options to call a human to ask in person. The company is lying to me when it sends a link to cancel but that link takes me to dead end every time.Business response
