Hi,...

thanks for creating the case. Maybe that's the reason that I have heard from the company directly so soon. My return and refund request has been approved for processing. Best wishes

Customer was already refunded based on his charge-back.
His license was renewed from free 60-days trial which had Auto-Renewal feature active.
Customer was informed about this scheduled renewal by our distributor.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 6, 2015/01/26) */
Our customer had an issue with our 60 days trial with Auto-Renewal. This product is free for 60 days and it is charged for a year license on 61st day. Customer didn't cancel AR in this case so AR happened in this case.
We contacted...

customer to straighten this situation.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 8, 2015/02/03) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I feel that the company is avoiding the issue, and trying to make it seem as if I was at fault. If I believed that the Premier software was really worth it I would have no trouble in the cancellation because I would have gladly paid the money Avast was seeking for the trial period. I tried to cancel the software in November 17, 2014 only some days after, I had been issued from a message on my on-line bank, concerning Avast. When I asked my bank about the message they said they do not request such things like that. I have proof in an email or ticket that I sent to cancel paymnent way before Avast had taken out my funds from my account. I recently had an email from Avast it was more of a survey than any thing else. I explained how dissatisfied I was with the service. Like any trial period I had the choice to cancel before the sixty days ended. I did not have any kind of issues with my 60 days to Auto-renewal, Like Avast stated above. I simply just wanted to cancel that particular trial software because after I had given my banking information I began to feel that there was no reason to purchase it since I was already under a license agreement with Avast, and the software I have features and covers the security issues I needed for my computer on-line banking. I felt as if Avast wanted to get some more money out of me by creating something that I really did not need.
The response from Avast above sounds petty, and it is a lie. That is why he pulled not one payment but two from my account. Each one in the amount of $53 dollars, totaling $106 dollars. If I had not checked my account I would have been in default for insufficient funds in my account. And since Avast responded with that comment above I now think that they ignored my pleas to cancel the software. And playing games neglecting the Code of Ethics when dealing with consumers.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

I have already answered to the proposed resolution from Avast. We do not see eye to eye on the real issues, but I am pleased because Avast returned the small amount of money
Avast has returned the amount taken from my account and I am seeking another internet security software for all of my online needs. It is a shame, I really loved the software will keep the avast security software until I find a better one. My license on the present Avast software ends in July.
Thank You, for all of your assistance.

The company has now admitted that an error was made in the handling of my purchase of anti virus coverage. This could have been resolved in the two (2) contacts with their call center representative, but unfortunately was not.
This situation underscores the importance of companies having well trained, competent personnel acting as customer service representatives.

Our distributor was able to locate customer's order.
We found out that customer made a typo in his email address so he did not receive confirmation email and we were unable to find his order as well.
Our retention agent already...

contacted him and provided him his license.

They promised to fix my computer, and their installed product made things worse. Then they remove the offending product and still charged me the $179.99 service contract fee along with the $19.99 product fee. Of course they refunded the $19.99, how could they not? But they should refund the $179.99 because their service screwed up my computer. Or don't they stand behind their work?

My complaint has not been resolved. Before I submitted a complaint to the Revdex.com, I called my AMEX credit card and AMEX placed the $577.77 in dispute.This action prompted Avast to refund me $385.18 leaving a balance of $192.59. I subsquently notified avast thatI had filed a complaint with the Revdex.com. Avast then agreed to refund the $192.59 if AMEX would reverse the dispute. I was advised by an AMEX representative not to have the dispute reversed until the $192.59 was refunded. I notified Avast of my intentions.On Friday 2/21/14,a female representative called me and said that she had reviewed the techincian's work and that my computer had been successfully reparied. This is completely false. I think that the call on 2/21/14 was a trick to get me to have the dispute reversed. It appeaes to be logical because Avast had already agreed to refund the $192.59 but only under their conditions In my opinion, Avast engages in disreputable practices and appropriate steps should me taken against Avast to avoid future consumers to endure my situation Sincerely, [redacted].

Hello [redacted]
I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. My schedule and work life has been extremely hectic. I received all of your updates on the complaint I filed. Lo and behold, two days after filing a complaint with your department, the company that hadn't responded in months replied and reimbursed me for the purchase. I just wanted to thank you and your organization for the help you provided and the stress you were able to take off of my shoulders. It may seem a small thing, but it helped me enormously.
Thank you for everything,
[redacted]
