Is it possible to get a refund for a Dropbox for Business purchase?
Here's the full story.
In January 2105, I worked for a company and signed up for DropBox for bussiness account using my work email address. In March 2015, I left the company and lost access...

I hope dropbox can help me resolve this issue - the second account was just a mistake.

I should have posted the resolution to this earlier but here it is.
After a week of calling/emailing/sending tweets I was going nowhere. I submitted a dispute through the credit card company explaining exactly how this happened. A few days later, Dropbox support person responded saying that I'll get a full refund.
It's hard to say whether Dropbox decided to bend their rules a little out of the blue or they felt the pressume from the credit card company.
At the end, I got my money back. Lesson learned - never give Dropbox your credit card. Their combination of rules, policies and auto-renewals is unethical.
Cheers and good luck everyone.
Also - would you mind sharing if you live in the EU? I am in Canada and I am not sure we have the 14-day grace period for refunds that they apparently do in the EU.

Chicklet - I'm in the EU (United Kingdom) and while I know this doesnt apply to you it may to others.
The 14 day cooling off period is a consumer right, it does not apply to businesses OR importantly business services/products. So a consumer buying something for a business/aimed at a business would not qualify for the cooling off period.
