Question

Unfair charging

I would like to formally lodge a complaint regarding my account billing.

Last year, I went through your automated process as I needed to increase the number of envelopes available on my account. However, without my knowledge or clear explanation, my account was upgraded to two seats. As a result, I have been paying double the expected amount since then.

As a small business, these additional charges have had a significant impact. I only required more envelopes and did not request or intend to upgrade to two seats. Unfortunately, when I recently contacted your support team to request a refund or even a partial refund, the assistant I spoke with was unable to assist.

I also find that your pricing structure and processes are not transparent. I have never been able to get clear guidance on how to maintain a single seat while increasing the number of envelopes, which has made it very difficult to manage my account appropriately.

I would appreciate this matter being reviewed and for you to consider issuing a refund or partial refund for the additional charges. I would also like clear instructions on how to ensure my account remains on a single seat while adjusting envelope limits if needed, as I am the only person in the business.

I look forward to your response and a resolution to this issue.

Kind regards,
Karen

Hi ​@Karpow  — thanks for reaching out.

We’re here to help where we can, but billing or account changes must be requested from a Docusign account administrator. If that’s not you, we recommend checking with your company’s admin to get started.

For any billing-specific questions, you (or your admin) can open a support case directly here: Open a Support Case.

If you are having trouble creating a case, you may send me a private message with your Name, Account number in question, email address linked to your account, and case number if you have already created a case, so  I can follow up on your behalf.

I am the Docusign account administrator, there is only me in the business. Hence why I didn’t need to be sold a second ‘seat’. The above link does not work to let me open a support case…..

Hello ​@Karpow 

I understand that you don’t necessarily need another seat for an additional user. However, if you need to send more envelopes and your current plan doesn’t allow it, you have a few options: upgrade to a higher-tier plan, purchase additional envelopes (if available), or add another seat to increase your envelope capacity. Adding a seat doesn’t always mean assigning it to a new user—it can simply provide an additional set of envelopes for sending.
If you’re still having trouble creating a support case, I sent you a private message. Please provide those details so we can assist you further.
