Docusign keeps charging despite having cancelled subscription

Hello ​@FelixR89,

Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community.

I apologize for the inconvenience, if the system still does not allow you to open a case with the normal “Open a case” option or if you do not have the option, there is another way, “I can’t access my account or invoices”, which does not require you to log in to your account or to upgrade: Open a case in the Docusign Support Center

Please view the below screenshot:

When clicking the option it should give you the following screen which will allow you to create a case without the need to log in and in which you can select your preferred contact method

Let me know if you were able to open the case.

Note: Some advanced features and options are supported only in specific Docusign plans. Your account plan might not support some of the options discussed in this help topic. Contact your account administrator for more information about which options are available for your account. Or, visit our Plans and Pricing web page for more details on the features included with your plan. Compare eSignature plans & pricing.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi Christopher,

thank you. Unfortunately, I do not have this option in my account:

I’m very frustrated that the normal “cancel my subscription” does not work although the system keeps telling me it worked and then I cannot access any support resources despite a community chat. All that to get rid of a simple 14$ subsription.

Thanks,

Felix

Hello @Melanie.Panguito,

I already sent my account number and email address to Christopher as requested, but I haven't heard back from him.

Also, after looking at DocuSign's Trustpilot rating of 1.9 stars and seeing numerous people reporting the same issue, this is starting to feel like one big scam. I would appreciate an actual resolution rather than just being asked to DM my details again. Otherwise we will give this to our lawyers.

Looking forward to your response.

Best,

Felix

Dear Docusign support.  I am also having this problem.  I cancelled the subscription, which shows me now on the freemium version.  You have since charged me another month’s subscription at £34.  There is no way to contact support as that seems to only be available to people on paid subscriptions, not to people whom you’re just taking money from.

Please provide contact details for someone in billing support.

Hello ​@FelixR89,

I am sorry you have not heard back from Christopher. Let me handle this. Kindly send me a private message with your account number and email address linked to the account so we can review it. Also, from your screenshot above, it appears that you were logged in to your account when creating a case. May you please check if you can create a case when not logged in?

Steps:

Go here: Get Support > More Support Options > I can't access my account > Product: eSignature > and fill out the form. Provide all the necessary details and describe your issue in detail.

Thank you!

​@olivergrills looks like we’re both part of DocuSign’s exclusive ‘Ghost Subscription Club’ - where canceling just means paying more for less! Have you tried sending a carrier pigeon with your request? Maybe etching it onto a stone tablet and mailing it to their headquarters? Because clearly, emails and support tickets don’t seem to reach them.

Jokes aside, if you actually find a working way to escape this never-ending subscription cycle, please do share. Right now, my best option seems to be accepting my fate as a lifelong DocuSign donor. Looking forward to hearing your escape plan!

What alternatives are you considering for future document signatures?

Hello ​@FelixR89,

I see that you successfully created a case.  Your case has been received and is waiting to be addressed by the next available representative. There may be some delays due to a high number of cases being handled at the moment. I sincerely apologize for this.

Let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you!

Howdy Docusign community,

Quick update from my end: surprise surprise—my subscription still hasn’t been canceled, and I’ve been charged yet again. Because, you know, when you cancel a subscription, it totally makes sense that you keep paying for it indefinitely.

And the best part? DocuSign requires me to provide proof that I canceled. Apparently, their system marking it as canceled isn’t enough. So, lesson learned: if you ever deal with these guys, make sure to take lots of screenshots—maybe even record a video—because otherwise, they'll act like it never happened.

Looking forward to next month’s totally unexpected charge. Stay vigilant, folks!

Friendly reminder for what you’re getting yourself into here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/docusign.com

Update: 5 Weeks Later – Still Paying for My “Canceled” Subscription!

Well folks, here we are—March 21st, more than 5 weeks after opening this case on February 14th, and guess what? I still haven’t been able to cancel my $14 DocuSign subscription! Incredible, right?

In that time, I’ve provided screenshots, explanations, and endless patience while DocuSign has provided… well, nothing but excuses and delays. Their latest genius move? Asking for my billing address—yes, the one they’ve been happily charging without issue for months.

At this point, I feel like I’m competing in the DocuSign Cancellation Olympics, except the only event is Jumping Through Hoops, and DocuSign keeps adding more obstacles just to keep me in the game.

So, my advice to anyone thinking of signing up for DocuSign: Be absolutely sure you want this subscription forever, because canceling is harder than canceling a gym membership in 2003.

See you all next month when I post my next update after being charged yet again! 😃💸

Hello ​@FelixR89,

I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced while trying to cancel your DocuSign subscription. I apologize for the delays and obstacles you have faced in the process. I wanted to let you know that I have reached out to the expert handling your case to prioritize. I hope that your situation is resolved promptly. 

Best regards,

I am also getting charged over and over despite having cancelled my account, 3 times and raising a case and confirming it is cancelled and I have just been charged again.  This company is an actual scam.  How can I contact anyone to talk to
