Bharatmatrimony.com reviews and complaints

I do agree this stupid idiots took money from my account. Now this is absolutly looting money. They should call and confirm whether some one is renewing it or not.

How to get this money back...any suggestion is appreciate?

How these become possible...Bcoz They are not collecting your CC details.In india we dont have a option like that.Evry tranaction will redirect to Bank Website.How can it possible?

This is absolutely right. It happened to me too. They charged my credit card again without getting my authorization. This is cheating to the core! The customer Service guy says they generally auto-renew the NRI accounts as generally NRI people want to renew it again! What an explanation! This is complete misuse of credit information!

Can any one please guide me how to file a law suit against them?
I am another victim of the same fraud.
They do not even intimate before auto deducting without our knowledge. and when questioned back, they ask us to read the terms and conditions and say that auto renewal is a part by default. They dont even ask us whether we want an auto renewal or not.
this is simply cheating. Please guide as to how can I drag them to court.

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Hello, today exactly same thing happened to me. And they rejected to refund me as they say I have used their services. Obviously I did not keep an eye on exactly when the 90 days are over. So I kept on replying to my emails.
When I spoke the colleague they said after 90 days the services will be cancelled automatically, so this means they will be cancelled.
However they never explained how this auto renewal works, and I too never remember seeing this. I now understand I did ask them if they can take a payment on the phone when they said they cannot because they want us to go on the website and they knew that this auto renewal window will pop up and you will be prompted to press 'continue' or something. And so that they can charge again. After all that the staff was shouting at me saying that, 'I don't want to hear the same thing again and again, there is nothing we can do from here, you write an email' also when i said I have to file an complaint she say this is not an complain it is a query.
her name was RITA.

These are dishonest means of business, and I will call fraudulence. They should not charge without notifying us and without our confirmation or authorisation. they are playing with people's money. I will take this further and file an official complaint against it.

Hi,

I want to complain against the 'automatic renewal' abuse on BM website.

This is a warning for all BM users, when subscribing, make sure you call your bank to set a low limit to your credit card online payments...because BM will automatically use/abuse your card to renew your membership.

10th of Sept 2013 I get a call from BM Marketing Team and say I DON'T WANT TO RENEW MEMBERSHIP

11th Sept 2013 My card is abusively used to renew an UNWANTED membership on grounds that the 'automatic renewal button was selected by default'

16th Sept 2013 My bank transfers the client portofolio to another bank and my account is CLOSED. The card they USED FOR RENEWAL was INVALIDATED

20th Sept 2013 I get my bank statement, I see BM took the money on the 11th of Sept

21th Sept 2013 I contact BM and ask for a refund. They refuse. Then I place a comment on mouthshut.com, sharing my bad experience with BM.
2 days later, they agree to refund 2 out of the 3 months of the renewal if I delete my comment from www.mouthshut.com

23 of Sept 2013 I send 4 emails to Refund Team to tell WHAT CARD TO USE FOR REFUND, as the one they used abusively was invalidated

23 of Sept 2013 Without considering my 4 previous emails, Refund team sends confirmation email: My INVALIDATED CARD WAS REFUNDED

24th of Sept- I call every 24h and I am told to wait until I am contacted
My previous bank CONFIRMED THEY REJECTED THE PAYMENT

6th of Oct till today, the same reply, 'Let us check'...

So, I am sharing this experience to let other people know that BM has dishonest procedures.
They call you and even if you refuse the renewal they use your card to renew.

I do not remember having seen any 'automatic renewal button ' when I confirmed my first payment, so I just think they put it later on. And said it was 'by default'..
Otherwise, why calling me?

Also, checking that my bank rejected the payment is a matter of a couple of hours, not of weeks. It just proves their unwillingness to solve a problem..

Conclusion: if you really want to deal with BM, make sure you call your bank first and set a limit on your online payments, so that the automatic renewal be rejected..

Hi, I agree with all linds of innovative unfair trade practices that these people are into. A company very poor on ethics, morals and professionalism. Third rate rotten grade services and for that they push you to pay by making all kinds of misleading promises. After facing harassment for over four months I have finally decided to drag them to Court...Regards

Hi
They did the same thing with me today. I just discovered they have renewed my payment for my brother's account without intimating me about the renewal. The is absolutely not acceptable and I am just baffled to come to know this. They have deducted 56 pound from my account for the renewal. I had no idea that a well known site like Bharat matrimony can do this.

Regards,
Vivek

Today i also faced the same issue. They renewed my membership without my knowledge. I tried to call them but they told that they do not have any information regarding this. I blocked my card and made the deducted ammout as despute. Will see if it works or not.
Bharatmatrimoney is fraud site and they have mostly fake members and they are only in cheating bussiness, I am trying to file a court case against them.

Agreed - have copied in the UK Trading Standards ppl and UK Asian Network to go public on this.

This is the email you'll get, btw:

Comments:i would like to query a supposed extension in my paid membership of this service. I receved a bank statement advising that £45 had been debited from my account. I was aware that my paid membership was due to end, and was not going to renew my membership. However money was dibited from my Lloyds bank account. Would you be able to xplain how this payment was made? Was it using a debit card? Otherwise, itwould appear that this money was taken using prevous bank details WITHOUT my permission..
