I have has the same issue with the customers below. In 2020, I signed up for a $15 promotion for the year.

It was not stated or made clear anywhere when signing up that this was an auto renew program. A few months ago, I realised that my account had been debited a further $180 for the year 2021. I received no email, notice or "alert" about an upcoming auto renewal. In fact, I only ever received a "welcome" email from the company. I contacted them in which they stated that "Our app does require the acknowledgement of standard subscription terms and conditions, which includes auto-renewal". The issue with this is that I only accessed this program on my computer, and not a phone app. I used the program a few times and then didn't continue as it was actually quite disappointing. Again, it was not clearly written or displayed that I would be charged for the following year. I am now going to be charged a further $180 in May. The issue is how deceptive the company are with their auto renewal clause and how hidden it was. What is also concerning, is the lump payment that's been charged when the website states clients will be charged monthly. I'm aware that the ACCC have concerns with businesses not "providing notices or alerts in relation to pending expiry and auto renewal" and this has prompted me to speak up about this incident. Its all so disappointing and deceitful, the reply I got from the company which copied and pasted. Stay away!

I've experienced the exact same appalling customer 'service' (more like auto reply) from Body by Finch. Like the other reviews, trying to get any sort of service is impossible. I signed up for the $15 trial back in May 2020, and chose to not renew, believing my account was closed/inactive. Now, 18 months later, they have debited my credit card $180 without my knowledge! I've had no correspondence from them in that time, nor have I used the app (long deleted from my phone). Don't try calling someone... there's no phone number. You have to rely on email, which takes several days to get a 'cut & paste' reply from. They said because I contacted them within 7 days of them debiting my account, I was eligible for a refund, but it would cost me $24.95 for them to process it! They charged me $24.95 to give me back money they had no right to take in the first place! Absolutely appalling. There are plenty of other Apps & programs out there that provide the same product but with actual service. Don't bother with this one.

Am I an idiot for forgetting my login information? Yes, definitely. But if you find yourself in the same, unfortunate circumstances, be warned! I have contacted this company many times to cancel my account, but am refused because I could not give the correct login credentials. They do not allow you to validate your account in any other way (security answers, other account info, etc.). Body by finch will continue to charge you. My credit card company has sent several requests that they stop the recurring charge, as they will not allow me to cancel my account (website boasts an account can be cancelled at anytime - no contracts). In addition, the charges are almost twice the amount as the monthly subscription fee. I do not know what else can be done at this point other than cancelling my credit card entirely.

They are happy to offer $15 specials of their yearly program to everyone in times of need during Covid 2020 lockdowns but then didn't have the decency to send out reminder emails to let people know they were going to direct debit $180 from their account. Some people of which are currently still without work and still in lockdowns in Victoria.
They had 25,000 people sign up to their program so were happy to make a cool $4.5 million dollars but were very black & white with their T&C's rather than have customer service & human decency and allow people to have their refunds especially those struggling financially.
And if you write in their community facebook group that you have requested a refund they immediately block you from the group.

DO NOT RECOMMEND this program or their products.
They portray that they are all about helping others but clearly are all about the dollars in their back pocket.
Wouldn't even give them 1 star.
