Predatory Billing – Refused Full Refund for Unused Service
I was charged nearly $2,800 over many months by BetterHelp for a service I never used—not one session. BetterHelp kept billing me through Chase via Visa’s auto-updater, even though I never gave permission to continue charges. They admitted I didn’t use the service but only refunded half. Chase refused to help, and their supervisor dismissed my complaint entirely. I’ve now filed with the BBB and CFPB. Others should be extremely cautious.

Hi Laura, We understand your frustration. Like we mentioned in our messages, multiple emails were sent out to you regarding low activity on the account and providing some recommendations on how you might wish to use the membership. We make it clear throughout the sign-up and payment process that you're subscribing to an ongoing membership that's billed automatically until canceled. We do not use any "auto-updater" service through Visa and can only bill the payment method that a user manually enters into our platform. Again, we're sorry for any confusion or frustration throughout this process. Take care, BetterHelp Team
