  I complain that : I never subscribe ******************* monthly service, but ******************* charges me $29.95 as the monthly fee. I never agreed to subscribe monthly service from this company called PropertyChecker(Payments@propertychecker) and I never authorized this merchant to deduct the monthly service fee from my ****** account. When I received the call from my ******** express credit card on January 9th, **************** customer service told me that, this company *************** Try to charge the monthly service from my credit card. **************** credit card was suspected to be a fraud and has helped me declined. I tried to contact *************** to Declare that I never subscribe to their monthly service, this company refuse to refund. I am not sure ******************* is a fraud company, But ********** in order to earn the service fee , ********** helped *************** charge $29.95 from my account. I think this was unfair , I appealed to ********** (case NO. PP-R-DCA-*********) indicates that I have never subscribed the monthly service from PropertyChecker. And I asked ********** to return my $29.95. But ****** insisted on deducting my $29.95 in order to earn the service fee. Although there is just a little money, I am very angry with ****** *** for such bullying. I know that there are many other victimized clients like me, so I turn to the supervision of BBB to do justice for our weak side : clients. Ask for a refund of my $29.95, and I hope more consumers will come forward to complain.

  To Whom It May Concern;

  I would like to let ** ***** know that this BBB complaint is filed under Infotracer.com, but Qi Zhang subscribed to a partner site *******************'s trial service for $2.95.
  After careful review of this complaint, I can see that this customer contacted our *********************** Team via email. Our system indicates that one of our dedicated ************* Representative responded to this customer's concern and was advised that since a Chargeback has been filed, we are unable to process a refund on our end. ** ***** would need to reach out to their financial institution for the turnaround time for chargebacks.
  
  On the checkout page of ******************* if the customer chooses to cancel their account within the trial period, the trial fee will be the only amount billed. If the account is not canceled after the trial period, the customer will be charged the monthly billing fee. Customers must agree to the billing terms before payment is accepted.

  Please see *******************'s Terms here: *********************************.

  If there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

  Attempted to contact this business to get a refund on a service that I did not use, and their excuse is because I did not cancel the service within the timely manner they cannot issue a refund. But they just charged my card on January 19th 2025, and I was requesting a refund of that charge. They tell me that they can't issue a refund. I am not satisfied with the service, I did not use the service since my initial sign up. And believe that I am entitled to a refund.

  To Whom It May Concern;

  I can understand the concern expressed by ****** **** Iii. I was able to locate the account in question. The email address associated matches the one provided by ****** **** Iii in the related correspondence with the Better Business Bureau. It appears the account was used to conduct various searches. At the time of enrollment, the customer agreed to our billing policy, which indicated after the seven-day trial is completed, additional billing would follow on a monthly basis. A confirmation email was sent detailing the same. This information can also be found in our Terms of Service, *******************************.

  As a courtesy, since I did see that ****** **** Iii reached out the same day he was charged, I have processed a refund of $24.95. Please expect the funds to reflect in 3 to 5 business days. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help him with. Have a great day, and stay safe!

I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolved. I would also like it to be known, that although I agreed to their terms of service. As a customer I believe I withold the right to refuse to continue to pay for a service that I do not use or have not used in a period greater than 30 days. There is evidence that I have not used this service in over a month, which should entitle me to a full refund, regardless of whether I chose to opt out of the 7-day trial or not. I do appreciate you attempting to refund a little bit more, although I do believe I was entitled to a full refund. Maybe allow people the option of a full refund, provided they have not used your service in over 30 days. Sometimes life gets a little hectic and people forget about things like that. Until it's too late, and you're taking their last few dollars.

  To whom it may concern,

  I can understand the concern expressed by **** *******. I was able to locate the account in question. It appears sign up took place on 01/10/2025. The email address associated matches the one provided by **** ******* in the related correspondence with the Better Business Bureau. It appears the account was used to conduct various searches. At the time of enrollment, the customer agreed to our billing policy, which indicated after the seven-day trial is completed, additional billing would follow on a monthly basis. A confirmation email was sent detailing the same. This information can also be found in our Terms of Service, *******************************. Our billing descriptor includes the website www.infotracer.com, and for the further convenience of our customers, we also provide easy cancellation with the click of a button, with no need to contact Infotracer.com directly. It also appears our 24/7 ************* Team, which can be reached by phone, chat, or email, was not contacted by **** ******* for support.

  We take fraud prevention seriously. The checkout process on Infotracer.com requires both a cvv and billing zip code match for approval. However, in light of **** ********* assertion the rebill was established without his knowledge or permission, as a courtesy, on 01/20/2025 we refunded $24.95 and canceled the account. 

  Please let us know if there's anything else we can help with. Have a great day ahead, and stay safe!

  More info

  I am writing to file a complaint against InfoTracer regarding unauthorized recurring charges and their refusal to issue a full refund despite acknowledging my limited use of their service. On April 28, 2023, I signed up for *********** trial for $1.95, intending to cancel the subscription after using the service once. I believed I had successfully canceled the subscription. However, from May 5 to December 5, I was charged $19.95 monthly, totaling $159.60. Upon reviewing my account, I realized these charges were made despite my lack of service use after April. After contacting **********, their representative acknowledged that I only used the service once in April and had not accessed it since. They refunded four months of charges for July, October, November, and December, amounting to $79.80. While I appreciate this partial refund, ********** has refused to refund the remaining charges for May, June, August, and September, which total another $79.80. I believe these remaining charges are unauthorized and unfair, given that I did not use the service beyond April and acted in good faith to address this issue. Additionally, their cancellation process may not have been adequately clear, which led to the recurring charges continuing without my consent. I am requesting the BBBs assistance in obtaining a resolution. I am seeking a refund for the remaining four months (May, June, August, and September), totaling $79.80, to close this matter. Please let me know if additional documentation, such as proof of the charges or a recording of my conversation with InfoTracers representative, is required. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, ********

  To Whom It May Concern;

  We understand the concern shared by ******** *******. However, we explicitly state on our checkout page, in terms that must be agreed to prior to purchase, that the customer is purchasing a trial which at the end of seven days, if not cancelled, will automatically enroll them in a subscription to be billed monthly. This text appears in full for the customer's convenience, and a checkbox is provided for the customer to acknowledge they have read and agree to our terms of service and billing terms. It is not possible to move forward or complete the checkout process until the billing terms check box has been clicked, attempting to do so will result in an error which redirects the user to review the billing terms.

  Our terms of service *********************************************** and billing terms ***********************************************?#billing are available on our website for further review. We also make it easy to cancel; no need to contact us. For further help, we have a dedicated ************* Team standing by 24/7, available via chat, email, and phone.

  We've reviewed the account of ******** *******, and it seems like a chargeback was filed. We highly recommend that he reaches out to his bank since we are no longer able to refund on our end. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

  Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

  Thank you for your response. I understand your position regarding the terms and conditions agreed to at the time of purchase, and I was indeed aware that the service required cancellation to avoid recurring charges. At the time, I believed I had successfully canceled the subscription. Its possible that I attempted to cancel and thought the request had gone through when, in fact, it did not.

  
  

  The problem lies in the nature of how the payments were processed and displayed. I used an email account reserved for less critical communications when signing up for the trial, and payments were made through ******. On my bank statements, these transactions appeared as generic ****** web payments, similar to transactions from **** or **** Eats, which I frequently use. This generic labeling provided no indication that I was still subscribed to your service, which is why I did not realize the charges were recurring until I reviewed my ****** account for unrelated purposes.

  
  

  Your own logs show that I only used the service once in April 2024, during the trial period, and I never accessed it again. While I acknowledge your policy requiring active cancellation, consumer protection laws, particularly in ********* and *************, emphasize fairness to the consumer. Under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 100, businesses are prohibited from engaging in practices that can be deemed unfair or deceptive, including retaining funds for services that were not used. Similarly, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A prohibits businesses from engaging in unfair or deceptive acts or practices, especially when these result in unjust enrichment from unused services.

  
  

  The issue at hand is not about whether terms were technically disclosed but about what is fair under the circumstances. I paid $161.55 for a service I never used beyond the trial, and while I appreciate the partial refund of $79.80 for July, October, November, and December, retaining $79.80 for May, June, August, and September is unreasonable. It is only fair to reimburse me fully for the unused months.

  
  

  Additionally, I am actively working with my bank to resolve this matter through a chargeback. Chargeback fees, which your business would incur if the dispute is resolved in my favor, could exceed the cost of the remaining refund I am requesting. Resolving this matter amicably would save both of us time and resources.

  
  

  Given the facts of the situationmy belief that I canceled, my lack of service usage, and the principles of fairness emphasized by consumer protection lawsit is only reasonable that I be fully reimbursed for the unused months. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to help resolve this matter promptly.

  
  

  Sincerely,

  Marshall
