Docusign keeps charging despite having cancelled subscription

Hi all,

I cancelled my docusign subscription in December and it confirmed the cancellation on the Website (see screenshot), but it keeps charging me every month. Can’t open a support ticket and all emails remain unanswered. What should I do to cancel my subscription?

Thanks,

Felix

Update: Month 6 – DocuSign Plot Twist Edition 🎬

Guess what, everyone? The saga continues! After 6 months, multiple support agents, countless emails, a forum post, and a confirmed cancellation + approved refund, DocuSign decided to surprise me with… drumroll please… yet another charge! 💸

Yes, you read that right. Despite all the promises, case monitoring, apologies, and patient-friendly emails, my subscription magically resurrected itself and charged me again in April. As if nothing ever happened.

Oh, and the refund I was told had been processed over 20 business days ago? Still missing in action. Maybe it's traveling the world. Or maybe it was never sent at all—who knows?

At this point, I’m thinking of turning this into a documentary: “How NOT to Cancel a DocuSign Subscription.” Featuring:

  • Plot twists

  • Lost refunds

  • Ghost cancellations

  • And a never-ending monthly billing cliffhanger

Anyway, just a friendly reminder to never cancel your subscription the normal way—it clearly doesn’t work. Might be faster to cancel your credit card or start a new identity. Stay safe out there! 💁‍♂️

Looking forward to updating you all again in May 😅

 

P.S.: Don’t trust any of those “Community Moderator” Bots out here. They are just here to calm you down and give you hope that something is happening behind the curtain.

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:

AD_4nXc4Tehn-ebhMWxRgROCrDtTgRvhzITcgWLsyVfx2TOHJRBkh2poHfJiJmNL4_n38Saf6E_79WZ8OJcPLsx4b-x-selOvevtRoPeXvnWb3KjLvx7E2f__e78dkBeIfo17KhIdgHDNA?key=E_4G43coNwxd7FTq-U7bag

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.

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?
