    Today I recieve an unauthorized charge of 99USD to my account from wpchrg. I looked under my billing on word press and there’s nothing there, searched my charge on the “Why was I charged?” Inquiry and there was nothing but it clearly came out of my account. This is very unprofessional and I want a refund.

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

    That is the value of a Premium upgrade renewal. Do you have another username account?

    Automattic Inc. https://automattic.com/ owns WordPress.com and other products like Akismet and VaultPress, etc. so this could be a charge related to one of them. It’s important to know that each charge is sent to the registered email address for each username account, so if you have more than one username account that could be confusing you. If you have a wordpress.org account and a wordpress.com account that could be confusing you.

    Are you referring to a specific website? If so then what is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you refer to please?

    To address any and all billing issues like this one we can click https://wpchrg.wordpress.com/ and we can also use this form (which works even when the main contact form is closed): http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?whywasi=charged

    WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers. The refund period for Domain Registrations and Renewals is 48 hours.

    Note: It takes 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

    You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard, cancel any upgrades, claim a refund for any qualified upgrades, and disable auto-renew. Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades. You can also disable auto-renew there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/#canceling-upgrades

    Hi there,

    I would be happy to assist you in cancelling and refunding your purchase. However, the upgrade that was purchased is not associated with the account you contacted us from. To confirm ownership, post in this thread under the username/account that purchased the upgrade. Then, I can look into refunding the subscription purchase.

    @Timethief is correct in what she stated. Do you happen to know the WordPress.com URL that the charge may be tied to?

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
