Being charged for an unknown account

Being charged for an unknown account

Hi all,

 

I work for an organisation and our bank card is being charged for a dropbox account. None of our current staff pay for an account.

 

We think it might be an ex staff member who paid for the account and didn't cancel their subscription before leaving.

 

How do we find out how to access the account that we are paying for. It would be good to get some money back, or at least cancel it so that we aren't charged again.

 

Thank you.

You can use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account you're being charged for. Once you've identified the account, you can sign into it if you have access to the email address associated with the account. Reset the password if necessary. A refund likely won't be possible, but you should be able to cancel the subscription. If you can't access the account, contact Support to cancel any future charges.

I'm reaching out / logging in thru my personal Dropbox account.

 

There is a charge on our companies VISA for $1200 and I don't know what it's for??

 

I tried the "lookup" tool  for credit card charges and it's not working... no one at my office knows if this in an older account that a prior employee set up before I started working here / we have no access to it, don't know what the e-mail address is, etc.. how can i SPEAK WITH A PERSON to rectify this?

 

This is SUPER annoying!!

With that amount it's likely for a Business account which would allow you to access phone support, but phone support is initiated via a callback through the admin console of the account, and only the team admin would have access. There's no phone number that you can call. If you can't sign in to the account to access the admin console, you'll need to open a ticket.

 

Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

I have a charge on my credit card for the sum of €119.88 for an account I'm not aware of. There is no ID-number for this transaction, only referring to DB.TT/CCHELP. I saw a previous similar question about the same amount which was marked Solved so maybe there is a valid explanation?

Dropbox cannot charge you if they don't have your billing information. If you've been charged and didn't give them your billing information, then someone else has and you should be contacting your bank.
