myheritage dna ethnicity estimates
I recently (Dec 2020) submitted 2 samples of dna to my heritage. 1 for me and 1 for my birth mother. The results confirmed a 49.7% match between the two samples ie the two samples were of a mother and a son.
However my mother's dna ethnicity was estimated to be 64% English. I was estimated to have 0% English. How can that be?
Furthermore, My heritage don't even allow me to contact them to discuss these dna estimates because I am not a "premium customer".
Peter UK.
Desired outcome: myheritage should redo the dna ethnicity estimates

Renewal
My Heritage sent me an email saying I needed to update my credit card info or risk having my account closed. None of their links to update the credit card info work. I've left 3 messages on their voice mail to no avail. I want to keep my account, but this company seems to be really messed up from a customer service perspective. I just want someone to call me and take my updated info over the phone.

Charging after cancelled 14 day free trial
Account [protected]
I have had an account since August 2020, which expires in August 2021. I mistakenly took out the 14 day free trial on December 28th 2020, as I had thought my August registration had been for 3 months. Realising I already had a whole year subscription, l cancelled the 14 day free trial today, exactly 14 days after taking it out. However, I see that you have debited my Paypal account for £65.40 today, for a year's subscription, following the free trial. I do NOT need two lots of subscriptions. Please refund the £65.40 taken from me today.
Joy Williamson
Desired outcome: A refund of £65.40
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Unable to contact to cancel and get refund!
How can a legitimate company be impossible to call? I have called and called the only number available: 877-432-3135... What? No one can contact this company? The internet is full of complaints about this scam!
Cannot contact this company directly. Their phone number is no good!
I want a refund and a permanent cancellation! Please help!
Desired outcome: REFUND and CANCELLATION
Dear MyHeritage member,
I am sorry to hear you were charged for a product you didn't intend to purchase. I understand this must be frustrating. Your experience is very important to us and we value the satisfaction of all of our members.
This is why our terms and conditions read that if you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription. Phone support is in fact available at: https://www.myheritage.com/contact or via email at support@myheritage.com
Alternatively, I would be happy to personally assist you with a full refund. Unfortunately I am unable to locate your account using the review, so please contact me through your registered email to isabelle.vipsupport@myheritage.com for further assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

There are no email details to contact My Heritage just phone numbers. I have cancelled the next subscription but request a full refund as I had no opportunity to cancel - Account ID: [protected]
Thank you
Desired outcome: Full Refund

No service for payment
MyHeritage collected my recurring payment ($209) for yearly membership on December 26th. I logged in January 1st and found out my membership was expired. There was nothing of the family tree work and research I had done over the years, and no indication it could be retrieved. I tried calling their customer service line [protected] US), but once I...

No customer service by phone on published 1-800 number
Spent an hour dialling the published my heritage customer support phone number which advised me to check their new customer care contact phone no. By checking back on their website. This led to a circular rabbit hole - website, nothing, phone, nothing etc. Half an hour wasted...
Then tried instant messenger for "help"... The helper chris y6a is either a total jerk or a robot. I asked 3 times for the customer care new phone # & each time was directed by "chris" to a my heritage on-line form to sign up & pay for ongoing monthly tech support.,!
I do not need this, I simply want to speak to a human being at customer support usa. On the never to be found customer care number.

Charged for cancelled trial
I signed up for a 14 day free data trial on september 12th 2020. I immediately tried accessing the new features but found they were useless to me so I immediately cancelled the trial to avoid being charged.
I've now found a charge for 107 eur on my card on september 26th. I've contacted through the website but have not received a response. I need a refund immediately.
This has affected my monthly mortgage payment

Unwanted service that was cancelled
Your company took $93.98 out of my account for services I cancelled on same day I took the trial membership from you all, I cancelled it that same day to avoid being charged but you took my money anyway. My name John Aldridge ph# [protected] things are hard enough with the pandemic without having a hundred dollars taken from my account transaction on 9/24/2020 location [protected], ut [protected] I hope you put it back into my account as quickly as you took it out and mark it for no more withdraws from my account. Thank you
I think it's just a scam these companies like this one goes and charges people's accounts and then drags their feet to reimburse people and are collecting interest on the money til they do reimburse them ought to be a law against that

Site
I purchased My Heritage Complete package yesterday evening. I am extremely disappointed with the results. I am trying to contact them to cancel my subscription and I am unable to get through on the phone. Customer Service state the number has changed and new number is on their site. I am using the number from their site [protected]. (Ireland).
I tried to call another department and was asked to leave a recording with a phone number followed by ? I have no idea what she said.
I have checked for an email address and nothing is listed for them.
I contacted My Heritage
via Facebook. I messaged them and my issue was resolved Immediately. They have cancelled my subscription and refunded my money.
My Heritage charge
I have just checked my bank account and on 12/09 My heritage have taken £120.
I have not given permission for this payment to be taken. Been recently made redundant and this is a lot of money.
If anybody can suggest how I can get a refund it will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Subscription
Signed up for a 14-day free trial on Aug 7th, 2020, and canceled it the next day or the same day. I never received anything in my email after canceling my trial so I have nothing to back that up but I am 100% always on top of my subscriptions. However, today on August 21st, 14 days later I received a charge on my Paypal for $89 for an annual Data subscription. The last email I received from MyHeritage was on August 8th; no email regarding a impending charge which I think should be something in place to avoid things like this. Now I am $89 poorer despite the pandemic that has seen me jobless! Per MyHeritage Terms and Conditions I am entitled to a refund within 30 days if I am not satisfied with the purchase and I am not satisfied.
I have sent an email to support @ ticket # 477139013.
Please help!
Thank you for timely response! Everything has been resolved.
Refund issued quickly, kind response.

I have been trying for days now to get someone on the phone to adjust my annual bill. Each time I call I'm on hold for over 20 min they say someone...
