Unauthorized Credit Card Charges
Complaint
Thomas Hjerpe
Country: United States
Your company took two payments of $119 off of my MasterCard today, November 22, 2009. The charges are associated with "Norton AntiVirus." The charges are unauthorized. This is fraud. Please provide me with information about the procedure to submit a written dispute and get your fraudulent charges reversed.
Thank you.

They can reverse unauthorized charges to your credit card under FCBA, if you make sure your bank gets a written dispute within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the unauthorized charge. You send written disputes to the dispute address on your statement.

From now on I´ll never buy any Symantec and/or Norton and/or any affiliated product.
I called paypal and also placed a complaint to paypal to retrieve as this was unauthorised. I have not used the Norton product on any devices for over 10 months. On deleting my Norton I also noted on the deletion from Norton questionnaire that I wanted the the payment stopped and no longer use the service as to many issues. I did this on all devices so multiple notifications.
I received a response from Paypal stating Norton are saying it was a genuine automatic payment and they could do nothing.
I then called the Australian number 1800680026 and spoke directly to their support which happens to be in the Philippines. After total discussions, the support officer arranged the removal of the automatic payment (email received) and also he organised to have this reimbursed ASAP. I then notified paypal as well.
After over a week and nothing received by paypal, I called and asked what was happening with the refund. All I got told by Norton Support was that it was in process. I gave it another couple of days and still nothing. Called support to ask and nothing heard from billing. I escalated it to complaints and was advised that I would get a call in 48 hours.
Again, heard nothing. I called again and escalated again as the response I got again was Billing has not got back to them. How poor is this for a Billion dollar company. It takes a matter of hours to reimburse to paypal, as I have done this many time with no issues.
Norton are quick to take money, even from people they are unauthorised to do so, but such small money to reimburse and they constantly delay and make excuse after excuse.
I was told by support that I would receive a call in 1 hour...LETS SEE IF IT OCCURS. Also advised support that I want to see it in my paypal account that the reimbursement was done. Hacve given 24 hours for this to occur.
This is absolutely unnecessary but it appears whilst doing Google searches that Norton are making this a habit worldwide.
they only know whats on there script and nothing else
and often don't even know what they are doing ( alledgedly trained people)
they will not answer any simple/valid question
your basically talking to yourself
any and all complaints get ignored
supervisors can care less as does level 2 and others
your just a disturbance to them
they will also if they deem you expect too much help ( how dare we expect help!)
deny you any and all support
pay for a service and get treated like garbage and worse
