Question

How do I request a refund after downgrading my account to a free account?


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

I needed my docusign account for one month and then I tried to downgrade it to the free plan. I only made the account and used it because my advisor asked me to use it to get some forms signed and I needed the batch send feature. Now that I’m done with it, I downgraded my account to the free plan. But for some reason I was charged 500 canadian dollars and I don’t know why. I can’t open a support ticket because I have the free account. There is no phone number to call and after 2 hours of reading the same “support” pages and watching the same video explaining how to close my account, there is still no way to contact anyone from this company to ask about the charge. This is ridiculous. help. I don’t want this account anymore and I want my money back.

Hello ​@sarahcuda 
 

Please log out and go to “Get Support” page.

Scroll down to More support options then from there it will allow you to open a case without logging in to your account.

first of all, I would suggest the company to have a better way of contacting support in a free account rather than this unintuitive workaround.

ok I’ve done that yesterday and the response was that I’ve somehow gone over a limit for envelopes and was charged an “overage” fee. He also said to look at the invoice on the Plan and Billing tab, which I did, and there was no invoice when I clicked on that.

He suggested I upgrade my account, which I am not interested in doing. Why would I not be warned in advance of overage and why would it cost this much? I did not do any actions in docusign since I downgraded my account so this is either a mistake or a terrible business policy. Here is what the service representative said:

After carefully checking, I found that the fees and charges you see are due to your overage usage. This happens when you go above your envelope subscription. To prevent this from happening, I suggest upgrading the account. 

 

I opened a dispute with my credit card company since there doesn’t seem to be any real way of finding out what happened or getting a phone call with a real person from docusign.
