Re: How can I cancel and get a refund?

Hi, 

I recently discovered that I am being billed and annual subscription from Dropbox. Having investigated, this has been happening for years and I somehow missed the money going out (each May). The only dealings I have ever had with Dropbox were back in 2015/16 (not sure of the exact date but it must be before May 2016 and after June 2015), when I needed to access some solicitors files from their Dropbox. I certainly never wanted a Dropbox subscription, and I think you must have transferred me to a paid subscription automatically at some point without informing me.

 

In any case, the first issue is that I want to cancel my subscription. But I no longer have access to the email address used to sign up. (I know the address and password but can’t get past the two-factor authentication.) I can give quite a lot of the payment details from the subscription as well, although it seems to be using a debit card that hasn’t existed for several years. 

 

Secondly, I certainly want this year’s payment refunded. The money went out of my account the other week. I would also like to be able to speak to someone about what you will do about previous years payments, because I am not happy about being transferred onto an annual paid subscription without my knowledge, and I am very doubtful that it was lawful (no

    Hey Christopher Pulman, sorry to hear about this.

     

    In such cases, I'd recommend getting in touch with our support team directly for further assistance as they'd be better equipped to help with this. 

     

    To do this, make sure to use an incognito window without signing into any Dropbox account and fill in this form with all the relevant details.

     

    Once you do this and get a ticket number from our system, you can us know your ticket ID here so that we can look it up as well.

     

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you Walter, I filled in that form a couple of days ago, but haven’t heard back. I’ve filled it out again (as I’ve found some further details of my old payment card). It does not give me a ticket number, only a message saying “Thanks, we’ll be in touch. We’ll respond to your help request in 1-2 business days.” I dropped an email to support@dropbox.com, which gave me ticket 22219465, and sent a chaser which generated ticket 22230497 . I’ll see what response appears

    Cheers,
