Requested cancellation three times. Still being charged. This isn’t a mistake — it’s a pattern! Completely unacceptable. Stay far away from Refinely. It's a billing trap. Do not sign up!

Cancellation problems & scam
I have sent two mails regarding a cancellation. Due to all the reviews here, I realized I was being scammed. Now they won’t answer my messages and it is annoying since I want a confirmation for my cancellation. I purposefully cancelled and wrote them a message before April 18th where another payment would be due. Don’t do it, skip Refinely. They are not trustworthy and scamming people left and right.

Der größte Scam!!
Der größte Scam!!! Auch ich habe nur das Testabo abgeschlossen und am selben Tag per Mail gekündigt (Ende Februar). Darauf wurde im März trotzdem der volle Betrag ca. 40€ abgebucht und es gab keine Reaktion auf meine Kündigungsmails.
Auch diesen Monat wurden erneut die 40€ abgebucht und auch erneut keine Antwort erhalten. Habe bestimmt schon 5 Kündigungsmails rausgeschickt.
Meine Bank hat Reklamation veranlasst und das Geld zurückerstattet aber die buchen im nächsten Monat trotzdem weiter ab.
Aufgrund dessen wird der nächste Schritt der Weg über einen Anwalt und Polizei sein aufgrund von Betrug.

Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie diese negative Erfahrung gemacht haben. Wir möchten betonen, dass sich das Abonnement automatisch verlängert, sofern es nicht vorher gekündigt wird. Diese Information wurde Ihnen auf der Checkout-Seite und in der Bestätigungs-E-Mail angezeigt, die Ihnen nach dem Kauf zugesandt wurde.
Wir gehen davon aus, dass Sie Ihr Abonnement beim ersten Mal nicht ordnungsgemäß gekündigt haben; daher ist eine weitere Abbuchung erfolgt.
Wir konnten Ihr Konto in unserem System finden. Wir haben Ihnen den vollen Betrag zurückerstattet und Ihr Abonnement gekündigt. Sollten Sie weitere Unterstützung benötigen, helfen wir Ihnen gerne. Alles Gute!

Trotz fristgerechter Kündigung des Probeabos wurde Geld abgezogen und erst danach die Kündigung aktiviert. Zudem wurde der wissenschaftliche Text der von meinem Mann geschrieben wurde als KI Generiert gekennzeichnet. Funktioniert nicht und ist Abzocke.

Es tut uns sehr leid für die Unannehmlichkeiten, und wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Feedback. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Sie sich zur Kündigung Ihres Abonnements an unseren Kundenservice wenden müssen.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass KI-Systeme nicht fehlerfrei arbeiten und nicht immer hundertprozentig korrekte Ergebnisse liefern. Generell gilt: Liegt der KI-Anteil unter 40 %, wurde der Text wahrscheinlich von einem Menschen verfasst. Der Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass KI-Systeme nicht erkennen, ob ein Mensch den Text geschrieben hat; sie berechnen stattdessen eine Wahrscheinlichkeit anhand von Mustern.

I subscribed to refinely because I thought it will help me write a paper for my college. I paid 2.99 for the free trial, but then I see $5 and $0.75 transacted from my account, so I freeze the card immediately.
They are a bunch of SCAMMERS!

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please note that when you buy a subscription, our system may place a small, temporary charge of $0.75 on your account, which is usually reversed within a few seconds. This is a standard process used by many companies to verify that your payment method is active and valid.
We believe that you paid for the trial premium plan ($2.99), and you also upgraded your subscription with a special offer for $5.00, which allows you to use the service for 20 thousand more words. We'd like to emphasise that there was a possibility to decline this extra option. It was never added automatically.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t locate your account in our system due to insufficient information. Please contact us via email so we can find your account and process a refund for the unexpected charges — support@refinely.io. Best regards!
absolut Schlecht
Ich bin extrem enttäuscht von diesem Service. Trotz fristgerechte Kündigung meines Abonnents (Abofalle) wurde mir weiterhin Geld vom Konto abgebucht ohne meine Zustimmung. Noch schlimmer ist es, dass auf meine E-Mails überhaupt nicht reagiert wird. Es gibt scheinbar keinen funktionierenden Kundenservice, was absolut in akzeptabel ist!!

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR FREE TRIAL
Well, I wanted to Humanize a letter that I need to send, so I subscribed to their 3 days free trial. After humanizing it, and subscribing, I used their other service which is to detect AI, and it detected 100% ai, so I did it many times again, and the result was always 100% ai. After that, I wanted to cancel my subscription, I went and sent them an email as they guided. To my surprise, they never answered, 4 days have passed and I am charged 39$, because my 3 days free trial expired and was enrolled in the normal subscription, which I demanded for 3 days straight to cancel. Luckily my card is empty so they couldnt take more money. The funny part is that they tried to take 10$ for no reason after they couldnt take 39$. They know that what they are providing is utterly useless and they are openly scamming people. DO NOT SUB

We are really sorry to hear that you have issues with our service. Unfortunately, due to the high workload, the responses might be slightly delayed. All customers' requests are usually processed instantly; however, when you send an email, the system automatically asks you to provide feedback regarding the cancellation and about the service in general. We suppose that you did not answer that email; therefore, we did not receive your request. We sincerely apologise for that.
Additionally, we'd like to emphasise that there might be many reasons why your work was still flagged as AI after the huminization process. To investigate this matter, we need you to send the evidence or the original work to our email.

Terrible experience
Terrible experience! I wrote over 10 mails to cancel a subscription I never ordered in the first place. If you login on the website it says I have a subscription for 39 euros a month. They took over 100 euros from my credit card in the last 3 weeks. I will seek help from a lawyer

We regret to hear about your dissatisfaction. The subscription you purchased is set to auto-renew unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. This was indicated both during checkout and in the confirmation email sent right after your transaction.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any matching account in our system based on the information provided. Please email us at support@refinely.io so we can locate your account and issue a refund for the unrecognised charges. Best regards!
Warning: Unauthorized billing and ignored cancellation
I signed up for a 3-day trial and canceled my subscription immediately. Despite this, Refinely charged me for the trial, the first full month, ALL while they told me that they canceled my subscription.
This is a clear case of deceptive billing and a violation of ROSCA (Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act). I have tried to resolve this with support, but they have not refunded the unauthorized charges. I am requesting an immediate refund to avoid a formal bank chargeback and a report to the FTC.

I signed up for this platform to test whether it's suitable for my needs as a moderator when marking my students' papers.
I cancelled within 2 hours of sign-up because the platform did not meet my expectations. On the contrary, when I tested it, it "refined" my own written work into 100% AI-generated work.
I requested a refund but was denied under their Terms and Conditions.
As a consumer, I am protected under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (UK) as well as the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), which provides a 14-day cooling-off period for online purchases, including digital services. These rights cannot be waived by Terms of Use unless there has been clear, informed consent to waive the right of withdrawal and full performance of the service has begun.
I will proceed to escalate the matter through my payment provider (chargeback), as well as report this as a potential abuse of consumer rights to relevant consumer protection bodies and appropriate online business and regulatory forums.
UPDATE:
I received their feedback saying the following:
"We apologise for any confusion. Please note that content may be flagged as AI-generated for various reasons, including writing style patterns, vocabulary consistency, and sentence structure. Current detection tools rely on probabilistic models and are not always fully accurate. Additionally, different platforms use different algorithms, which is why results and percentage scores may vary.

I have a principal problem with this horrible response.
I have been in contact with them via the support email they suggested from the start (specifically Alina), and I was told they would not refund me.
So their solution is to send me back and forth in the same loop of communications?
This company is a scam, and I urge people not to make the same mistake. Just take a look at the rest of their reviews. Says the same thing.

I noticed a £6.21 charge on my account, and my bank subsequently blocked a further attempted charge of $39.99 due to suspicious activity. Looking at your Trustpilot reviews, it is clear that many others have had similarly terrible experiences, which is absolutely disgusting.

SCAM ALERT
Its a scam! Please, stay away!
I subscribed for their 3-day trial. Then i decided that i do not like their premium service due to how generic it is, so i canceled it.
But then i realize, that you have to contact them to cancel the subscription.
I realize something sketchy was going on, so i decided to check the reviews and stumbled by their trustpilot reviews, which is this.
I was shocked to learn that they're scamming their customers, when i check my bank account, they took atleast 51.000 IDR (which is around 3 USD). When its supposed to only take 0.99 on the first 3 days.
I realize that this was not a "trial" at all, and i immidiately contacted the bank to block my bank account.
Now, im in the process of making a new bank account. So please, for anybody who hasn't fallen for their scam. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!
