MyHeritage no technical support

All text data has been lost from my family tree, put together using MyHeritage software and services. The backup files held by MyHeritage should contain this data, but does not. MyHeritage technical support has failed to address this issue repeatedly and continues to ignore my plea for a resolution as the problem sits in the architecture/management of their databases. As a Premium Plus member, I am entitled to priority technical support, but the contrary appears to be true. MyHeritage fails to honour their part of the contract by not providing the required service and failing to communicate.

Rhianna,
Your support team provided instructions that did not resolve the issue and the missing text files remained hidden. I raised this issue on 7 January 2012 and it has only been after your personal email of yesterday when you gave me a hyperlink that I have been able to restore all previously missing data without complications and I am grateful for your intervention, because for the past two weeks I was not getting anywhere with your team.
In short, my faith in the MyHeritage product has been restored and my complaint has been satisfactorily resolved.

MyHeritage stay away from these guys

They hold your details as it is a family tree. For me they are holding too many details none of which I gave them. I have asked them more than once to remove the surplus details but up to now they have either refused or now they ignore my emails.

I enroled and paid for a DNA test which gave me a 12 momth subscription. Have just seen an unauthorised charge to my Visa credit card for a further year. No consent for an automatic renewal was ever given by me.

Be very aware when dealing with this organization that once you provide credit card details, they have you locked in unless you have taken steps to cancel an automatic renewal about which you had no advance warning or knowledge.

MyHeritage scams

Saying its '' Scam free'' when it is not and giving out too much personal information.

I was charged by this company on my credit card on 28 Dec 23. I have never visited their website or signed up for any subscriptions. My credit card company was able to resolve the dispute but this is super bizarre that a company was able to charge my credit card without any authorization.

No way to contact them directly by email or phone!

Impossible to be in contact with them except with a robot that do not respond to your enquiry or a FAQ that do not correspond to my problem.

Very bad customer service and aftersales service, a bit of shame!

Boldly states generous coupon offers that don't exist. The only coupon that actually works are for DNA kits.

I followed instructions to no avail. I have done this many, many times.

I wish to take advantage of the 50% discount offer as advertised in their coupon.
