Dishonest Thieves! My 1 star rating is for the fact that this site is using auto-enrol membership, at £50 a month. I asked them one question and in the stress of the moment missed the fact that I signed up to some trial membership and have to 'cancel' within 3 days. I never went back to the site and didn't realise untill 3 months later (when I saw on bank statement that I paid £150 to them). I contacted the customer service and asked for refund of the £150. I explained it was one time only that I visited (and paid for on the day), and that I had no intention or use for the membership. They however refused, using the usual "The message is on the page", and insisted on keeping the money. I find it disgusting. Even more since they are supposed to be legal advisers and as such supposed to be operating honestly ! There is nothing honest in trapping people into auto-enrol memberships. If you want to be honest, you let the trial run and give them opportunity to go and physically enroll on £50 a month memebership separately. Now that would be clear and honest approach. They are a disgrace to their profession and should be ashamed of themselves! Rest assured I will never go back to this site and will share my experience and warn anyone who would consider using their services.

Hello Mohammadreza, We hear you and will be happy to resolve this concern. We've cancelled your most recent membership payment. Your payment is showing as 'reversed' on our end. This means that we were able to cancel the transaction before the funds left your account. When this happens the charge will just disappear from your account because it was never finalized. We've also refunded the October charge. The funds are made available to your bank the next business day, however, the bank may take 3-5 business days to release the funds back to your account depending on their policy. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Regards, Vanessa JustAnswer Customer Care VanessaVC@justanswer.com or 1-800-941-1229 ext. 28

They keep trying to take £30 from my Apple Pay. But luckily I used a bank account with no money in it. They try over and over again. I did not agree to this. I would like to see their management in the gutter, with no money, no bank account, homeless, cold, hungry, thirsty, with THEIR CHILDREN IN THE GUTTER WITH THEM.

I paid the initial £5 to get a response from a bot and the wording was if you would like to get the response of a lawyer then the additional fee would be £45 I thought about this and decided NOT to carry on and 2 weeks later £50 was attempting to take from my bank account I reported to bank they cancelled my card as thought was a Scam and then still £50 came back again No Signature or contract entered into here and this is a legal unit just Not right so potentially £105 charged for a Computer BOT to answer a question sourced off Google and Wiki not impressed I checked for anything on my phone for subscriptions running and nothing live or was there

Paid the £15 to ask a question to a solicitor. Within 3 days took another £50 from my bank. No warning. Didn’t sign anything. Apparently it was a £50 a month subscription that they fail to tell you anything about! Contacted customer services on chat, as soon as you ask for refund they cut you off saying u have not answered. Thankfully I had screen shots. Even from original question proving I didn’t sign up to anything. Thank god for paying through paypal

I echo precisely what Lorraine said. I would give NO STARS. I was asked to pay £1 to put a question to "the Expert" The reply was useless. I said so ...I was then asked to put another question, in fact was pursued many times by the so called "expert" who kept sending messages. Each time I replied no...eventually putting STOP in capital letters. I have now been charged £35 for further information which I never had. I would like a REFUND ASAP as this was taken WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

I would give zero starts if possible. Same as most people on here I paid for the question I asked and then was suprised to see a monthly amount bein g taken from my credit card for my 'subscription' which I was unaware of. They made no mention of taking money for a subscription when they emailed 'my answer' to me. I have complained several times and have just been told I am not eligible for a refund. Stay well away.

I tried a £5 trial and following the answer to my question I immediately tried to cancel my subscription as the answer was akin to one I would get from my mates in the bar. I sent 3 further cancellation e-mails in accordance with T & C 3.8.2 which they completely ignored and continued to take money from my account I have now reported as a scam to my bank and blocked all future payments Do not go near this company.

Take my advice, don’t ask there’s. The initial payment is £5 and you think that’s it. Then they start taking money each month. I couldn’t believe when £50 went from my account and I’ve just read one lady didn’t notice and was paying that amount for over a year. Avoid these people.

I would give 0 stars if I could. My daughter recently created an account with JustAnswer, and she is under 13. she used my card to purchase. After doing some research on the terms and conditions, I requested a refund and the information to be deleted, as legally her account could not have been made. I had made phone calls, emails, and customer complaints, all met with the same answer. They would repeatedly tell me I was not eligible for a refund as the question had already been answered (not well.), all whilst ignoring the fact that since she is under 13 she is not legally binded to that contract. My reply was unsatisfactory, and as set forward in the Terms and Conditions, refunds are avaliable in my case. "Membership fees are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms or in accordance with applicable law". meaning I am applicable for a refund, as my child was 12, meaning she was unable to form a legal binding contract. "Only individuals who are at least 13 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law of their jurisdiction are permitted to access the Platform or be a User. If we learn we have collected personal information from children under 13, we will delete that information in accordance with our legal requirements." The information provided needs to be deleted. According to their Terms and condition, she was not permitted to access the platform, nor be a user at all. Disappointing service and would not recommend

Hello, I'm very sorry to hear that your account was not handled properly. I see the customer posting the question and stating that they are 15 which does not fall into the minor situation addressed in our TOS. I will have my team address this through the website.

I was desperate to get out of a subscription for Symprove , and the company told me I couldn’t despite it not helping me . I wanted to check my legal rights and ended up going on Just Answer. I thought I was switched on to my bank statements but have somehow missed 14 months of Just Answer taking £50 a month! I paid £5 for the answer from the solicitor and then it rolled into a monthly subscription - I didn’t realise and I am so upset with myself , but also , this company is clearly not keen to make it clear about the subscription . I received one email , which I took to be a follow up on the answer - they have taken £50 a month for over a year - no email correspondence - just kept taking the payment . It was not explicit and I am gutted

I signed up for a 3 day trial to get a short answer on a legal matter. The answer was not great but not terrible - what you would expect for $9. The problem is their billing practices. I cancelled within the 3 day trial period and they confirmed the cancellation, but they kept on trying to charge me the regular $85 subscription even though I never authorized it. Fortunately my credit card company blocked those attempts but I had to cancel my card which was very inconvenient.

The advice is laughable, they don't really read what you've written. Each advisor can see your conversation with other advisors, which I don't feel comfortable with. I signed up to a 3 day free trial, yet within 1.5 they had bumped me up to a paid monthly.

I was fortunate to google the company and came across all of these awful reviews! I checked my account on their website and saw that they had signed me up for £50 a month membership!! So cheeky. I have cancelled the membership via my online account but I will also be calling my bank in the morning. Shocking - do not use.

I am so frustrated. There was absolutely no mention of a £27 a month charge. I happily paid £5 to speak to a vet, and when prompted if I would like a phone call for extra I declined! I am so upset that they are exploiting worried people as this looks to be their business model. I have asked for a refund in my membership cancellation request. But if anyone has any other ways I can demand this please let me know. I will be looking to speak to an ombudsman service or watchdog about this.

Absolute scam company, paid the £5 then got a notification from my bank 2 days later to say they have tried to take £50 from my account! Rejected the payment and contacted my bank, as luckily they flagged it up and they told me they have had some many complaints they automatically flag all payments to them as fraud, which tells you a lot! I then went into the website and it says you get 7 days free! I asked my question on Thursday evening so got 2 days free before they tried to take money! Have cancelled my membership and my bank is aware to not let them take money! They should be ashamed of themselves and their dodgy dealings.
