Paid annual plan and got billed last month but now getting billed for monthly

[randrade]

Hi,

I have paid a annual plan, billed last month for the full amount. Now I am getting billed for monthly payments. I know there is no email to contact support, no option to open case in MyArlo, and the live chat option is available, but does not start when I click after entering my data an product details. Not in Firefox, EDGE or Chrome.

Can anyone tell me how to get this solved?

Thanks

I managed to open a support case explaining the problem. The first answer I got was not useful at all, seemed to be an automated copy/paste. I replied sending the receipts and screenshots. Today got an update asking if the case had been solved... It seems the Arlo support is not working as it should. I replied again. Not easy keeping your hopes up....

Hi. This issue was solved, but not as it should. I got a call from the support team. After some explanations, the solution they got for me was canceling all the plans (monthly and annual). After canceling, I could only get the monthly plan because the annual is no longer available. I got the unused annual plan credited and the monthly billings credited. I complained, because this is not a 'sound' and 'fair' business practice. In the annual plan, that came with a discount. They discontinued the plan. They showed absolutely no interest in finding the correct solution: that should be giving customers in this situation, created by a system glitch on their part, 2 or 3 free months to keep the discount they promised and had been paid for when signing the annual plan.

But at least now I only have the monthly billing, so it seems better than nothing.

Many thanks for the help I got from the community. At last it is solved.

I had a VERY similar experience and thought process surrounding the need for a month or two compensation for the troubles. Definitely not pleased with the outcome as I feel like I've been trapped into agreeing to the monthly cost since we've already forked out the money for the device.
