Re: Being charged for an unknown account. How can I rectify this?

Hello,

DropBox has tried to charge me £516, a few days apart. I have two accounts - one a Plus, paid for in January (annual) and one now free (previously plus). Any idea why they may try to charge this? Luckily I didn’t have the funds in that account, and have now frozen it and ask for a new card to be issued.

Thanks!

    That sounds like the yearly charge for a Business Standard account with three users. Did you start a Business trial and not cancel it?

     

    For any other information you'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly.

    Hi,

     

    I noticed an annual subscription charge on the credit card associated with the account. The charge was made in September 2023 but there are no receipts/invoices displayed in "Billings". Also, there is no payment/receipt history.

     

    Can you please let me know when this issue can be fixed? Or can you send me my current receipt for Sept 2023 so that I can reconcile my credit card for payment.

     

    Thanks,

    What plan does it say you're on when you look at your Plan page? If it says Basic, then the account you're signed in to doesn't have a paid subscription, and you're being charged for a different account.

     

    Use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account you're being charged for, then sign in to that account to view the billing history and access the receipts/invoices.

    Dear staff,

     

    I have a problem with my account.

    I used to have a business dropbox account which I closed a couple of days ago.

    However, In order to do my taxes I need access to the invoices of that account.

    Because the account no longer exists I'm not able to download the missing invoices anymore.

    I'm looking especially for the invoices from July till September.

     

    Could someone please send me those invoices.

     

    Many thanks

    That's why I'm writing here. 

    The only two options that are left to me are

     

    Contact Chatbot

    and Contact Community

     

    There's no possibility for me to contact dropbox support directly anymore 

    as I'm no longer having a business account
