Avoid avoid avoid
I took out a 7 day free trial but decided the same day that I did not want a longterm subscription so looked to see how to cancel expecting a cancel or unsubscribe feature to be built in a button to click etc Instead I was directed to email customer services which I have now done four times including on the day I took out the subscription and have had nothing except holding emails asking for the information which I had already sent them The payment is due to come out tomorrow and I have just spent nearly 40 minutes on the phone to my bank and have now had to literally cancel my card in an effort to stop this payment being taken I am absolutely disgusted- I have been extremely stressed recently and was trying to work on my family tree as a way of distracting myself and having some peaceful down time and I have endured so much stress because of this vile company 8 95 might not seem much to many people but I lost my job at the end of last year and money is very tight and it s just not right to do this tto people This company are a total nightmare and should be avoided at all costs

Rip-off merchants
They automatically extend your free-trial without saying that is their practice They even have a web-page saying they are not scammers so there are obviously lots of people saying they are

I received a free trial and immediately
I received a free trial and immediately learned that the site failed to produce the record I needed Since they charged my PayPal account it has been a nightmare dealing with receiving a bonafide refund of 77 00 Again I requested this the following day but still my Amex linked to my account has not been credited I have called them multiple times and then was told I needed to contact USA archives or another entity to issue the refund After speaking to them I was told that I again it landed with Archives Please do not allow them to scam you I am ready to write the parent company ancestry com as certainly the customer service is horrible and someone should bring a class action suit for breach of contract to the company I cannot imagine how many people have been erroneously charged spending egregious time and money trying to get some recourse Please be careful Best SG

Would give no stars if I could
Would give no stars if I could cancelled the free trial but they still took money from my account The actual service is useless which is why I cancelled in the first place Avoid like the plague they apparently only exist to take money from people

I tried the free trial but I did not
I tried the free trial but I did not find what I was looking for Every time I tried to cancel my membership to avoid a charge I got a message saying my email was not recognised and I tried to update it and amend my details but the system just kept stating my email was incorrect I then got charged When I emailed Archives to let them know of this fault in their system they apologised for the inconvenience and confirmed my membership was cancelled but my charge is non refundable I am disgusted and am wondering if this was a scam A reputable company would refund money due to their faulty system I would not recommend this company to anyone There was no error with my email
