I too fell under the belief that the trial membership was free. However when I was setting my profile up they offered me a $7.95 weekly charge for their best plan. Like a fool I gave them my credit card and the next screen that popped up showed me I was now on a 6 month plan for 111.76. I tried to find a phone number but to no avail. So I went under my account in OurTime and selected to Account Status. I then chose to contact customer service but the emails kept telling me to go back to the website to handle this.
Well that was not going to work for me. I decided to continue to reply to that same automated email form them about 10 times. I called my bank the next morning and disputed the charges. I also went in to the bank to cancel my debit
Card and complete another form(its not a big deal). The bank told me the company had 10 days to respond to the dispute the charges and if not they would deposit the money back into my account. To my surprise I received a email (2 days after they took the money) telling me they would refund me the money. Now lets hope they do that. I hope
This helps anyone else that is looking to get their money back. Also even if its a slight inconvenience in order to do to avoid possible future charges, cancel the debit card as well as your OurTime profile. I hope this helps.
