Cancellation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I cancelled my membership but didn't receive any confirmation. I then searched and searched for a phone number.

The one listed here is INVALID. I finally found a number which is (855) 781-****. I received an email confirmation after speaking to customer service.

I asked several times why they were so hard to reach and the person ignored me. Very suspicious.

Charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Charged an annual fee to do a basic search when all I wanted was a monthly charge that could be cancelled any time if the service didn't work out, which it hasn't. Message on the customer service phone line says the line is unattended. The site says all charges are non-refundable and only future renewals can be cancelled.

They are thieves

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

In October, I spoke with a woman who informed me that she could only vacuum two rooms, prepare a meal, and clean up. I have compression fractures in my back and needed my house cleaned, so I canceled my appointment with this lady.

She never even visited my house, and I never signed an agreement. However, on November 25, 2024, Care.com charged my bank account $155.40, $180, and $48 all on the same day. I would never recommend them to anyone. They are supposed to be taking care of the elderly or those who are ill.

These individuals do not have time to monitor their bank accounts because they are worried about their loved ones. I am a victim of identity theft, which is why I was checking my account. I have yet to receive a response from Care.com and I doubt I ever will.

I suppose I'll have to hire a lawyer and prosecute them myself. Regards, an unhappy person.

If you have the thousands of dollars it would take to hire an attorney, you can stand to lose $284. Why don't you just call your bank, dispute the charges and then immediately close your Care.com account and contact a local business that provides the services you need.

Cancel my payment

I want to cancel my payment because I made a mistake. I didn't respond to the last question and the payment went through.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I want to restart my application again. I think I didn't do the right thing on my job application.

So, can I cancel my payment, please? This is the reason for my call.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Charging me for Premium and not receiving the service. Can it be expressed in 100 words?

Terrible, disappointing, unacceptable.

Frauds, cheaters, thieves.

Liars, distorters, bait and switchers.

Untrustworthy servers.

Need to report to BBB.

Service is terrible.

They SUCK

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

set up an initial job posting - but never used it.. months later set up a real need posting - paid - and could never contact the 'fake' applicants.. nor could i get any answers from this bullshXt company.. nothing on their site leads to anywhere but pay again.. can't find a cancel button.. and their tele number is a recording to nowhere..

they lost a huge lawsuit with the FTC.. in the millions - how many families did they burn..

if i could find them - they would need their own services...

take your money and hope and find some local people thru hospital and nursing home staff - contacts..

and if anyone finds these 2 clowns - apply 5 minutes of *** for me..

Care Com - Important question

I paid for my account that I've had for several years now, and all of a sudden, it won't let me log in due to customer service guidelines. I've never had any problems with anyone I've ever cared for. I want answers and this resolved, or I will be contacting my lawyer as I already paid.

Billing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have had a recurring monthly charge since November 2023 on my bank account, even though my account has been closed. You cannot call and speak to anyone.

All communication is via email. They will respond but do not follow through to resolve the issue.

I will be seeking legal action at this point. I should not have to close my bank account as a result.
