eHarmony - want to take £65 off me for cancelling

You seem to do a lot of fuming. Is that on your dating profile?

Where can I take this? Now that they've taken my first payment, could I go to my bank and have them block any future charges?

Yes, see earlier post about this on page one....

Thanks, of course I did see that first time around.

The thing is if I do this will it cause any grief for me from eHarmony? Will they take action against me? I don't feel they have any right considering I asked numerous times for them to cancel my account and they have just ignored me e-mails completely!

Possibly, as a result of this:

eHarmony, are clearly cowboys and totally unethical...

...I don't know what to do with this now but I wish I'd never signed up to this god-awful dating service, and I would absolutely suggest that no one else ever do it, they are clearly fraudulent. 

Probably not a good idea to accuse them like that, no matter how angry you are.

Funnily enough I never got around to setting up a dating profile on a service that is clearly a con job.

This company is clearly scamming people. Amazon do the same with forcing a box to come up to sell you their expensive 'prime' scheme when you go to buy something from their site.  It's all too easy to 'continue with prime' without realising it's an expensive rolling contract.  It's all about making you sign up without seeing what you are signing up for.

A few years back there was the slimming berry scam that invited people to supposedly get a free sample of some faddy supplement, but of course, they signed you up for a rolling contract to subscribe to having these supplements delivered on a monthly basis.

Oh yes, if you go to lawyer-levels of scrutiny of terms and conditions, then buried deep, there will be a written and usually confusing explanation of punitive charges that will befall you should you have the audacity to find their service inadequate.

It's a scam and a con. It's about time we had proper legislation to tackle these cowboy websites.

There's quite a big difference between 'scamming' someone and 'taking advantage of the fact people are too lazy to read what they are signing up for' although I do agree that there should be tighter controls on adding things that you haven't asked for.

It is done so obviously to elicit a click without realising that you are signing up, that this tactic should be made illegal.  It isn't 'laziness' to not read the terms and conditions.

A member of my family recently signed up for prime completely unaware that she had entered into a monthly payment.  She had simply clicked on something along "get it next day with a free trial of Prime".

It is far too easy to just notice the 'next day delivery' bit and click on it.

It is a scam. It is done deliberately to elicit an unintended click.  It's why I hate using Amazon, as you have to keep dodging all of the tricks they employ at the checkout stage to try to confuse you into signing up with a stupidly expensive delivery scheme.

What would you call it then?

Prime is very obvious that it is a 30 day trial, you even get warning emails on the fact you have signed into a trial & how to cancel.

What ever happened to personal responsibility for actions. Not this always someone elses fault?

If it isn't laziness, what is it? Negligence?

Appliance_engineer

It's fraud.
