I've had a paid plan and been charged, Dropbox only thinks I'm Basic and won't let me access help

Pretty angry at this screw-up by Dropbox:  I've had a recurring subscription via my phone's Google account for years, and as of two days ago, Dropbox has switched me to Basic.  GOOGLE successfully charged me $127 for my subscription though.  But I'm locked out of the paid help that I should be getting and locked out of the subscription benefits.  And I'm pretty livid that Dropbox has made it so incredibly difficult to actually get _real_ help.  The bot is useless, just keeps pointing me to the Basic stuff (and asking me for credit card info, which won't work because I'm subscribed through Google).

If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.  Ideally, I'd love to have Dropbox figure their @$#% out and treat customers like they matter rather than make them hop through hours of automated hoops only to get nowhere.

    Hey Walter, tried using the Lookup tool but it none of the numbers on my invoice would work, it has the email I'm using on the receipt though and it's in my inbox for that email so I don't know how it would be for any other email

    @SamWill2000 Your issue is totally different, would be nice if you'd made it a separate thread so that I'm not tagged in each of these replies.  Just for the future, it's good "forum form" to do that.  Thanks.

    I've paid for a business plan, £57 monthly, the payment has been taken from my bank account and I've received a receipt in my email. For some reason I couldn't log in this morning and it keeps saying that I've only got the basic personal pack, I tried to get assistance here but just got palmed off, tried to tell me my email and payment card were wrong but the receipt stated it was the email I said it was and the charge came out of the one and only card I have, am getting quite frustrated and just want to use the services I have paid for or have my money refunded.

    Sorry to see that you're having this issue, SamWill2000.

     

    If you're paying directly through your credit card, can you first try our payment lookup tool?

     

    This will show you the email address associated with the paid account.

     

    Is it the one you're already signed into, or another one? If it's different, that means you have a second Dropbox account.

     

    Let me know what you find and we'll go from there.
