    I am trying to delete my account but wordpress will not let me. They say that I need to pay a chargeback fee to do anything. I disputed a payment that I did not authorize and now they won’t let me delete my account. How do I delete my account? I don’t think its particularly fair that I am being charged for getting a refund on a payment I did not authorize!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi @viktorathelstan, when you dispute a payment as fraudulent instead of canceling the service and getting an automatic refund, that initiates an investigation. That investigation costs money and ties up the account’s status; we can’t close it while an investigation is in progress. Are you able to cancel the chargeback so we can issue a normal refund instead?
