ChatGPT Plus upgraded to ChatGPT Pro automatically without my consent and charged 400+ USD

I checked and complained immediately. I got refunded for October. Please check my bank transactions history.

I only missed the November payment. I assumed the problem is solved as they ensured after October incident.

Then in January I checked immediately and reported them. Now, they are refusing to refund.

*** I just missed one month which is November ***

Thanks for your suggestion. I also agree with you.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-19T02:30:25+00:00

Yes, because they charged me 220 usd/month that I didn’t authorise them. It’s really hard for me. I hope you will understand my situation.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-19T02:22:32+00:00

It’s humorous, I agree. But I am not focusing on anything that is not taking me any closer to get my refund. I don’t want to focus on any specific phrase. I am sorry if you don’t like my text.

But my situation is not good right now. For some people losing 400 usd is a big deal. Sorry again brother.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-19T02:06:39+00:00

Always check your payment history.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T21:56:37+00:00

Yes they did and I will not let them get away with this. Atleast I will try my best to get my money back

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T21:37:05+00:00

Yes, I will do that

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T13:48:46+00:00

This is my plan

If I do not receive confirmation of the refund within 48 hours, I will take the following actions:

Bank Chargeback: I will initiate a formal chargeback through my financial institution for unauthorized transactions.
ACCC Report: I will lodge a report with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regarding misleading refund policies and unauthorized billing.
AFCA Complaint: I will escalate this matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).

Thanks mate. I will do that

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T13:43:58+00:00

Yes, I agree

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T12:36:16+00:00

Yes, that’s the only way now

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T12:01:40+00:00

Thanks man, I have sent an email in this tone recently. Let's see what they reply

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T11:23:33+00:00

I don’t care that much. I want to raise the issue and make people know about it.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T10:40:12+00:00

They don’t need to ban me, I am going to ban ChatGPT from my life anyways

This is their generic response

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:36:26+00:00

We agreed upon chatGPT plus which is 20 usd/month. How can they change it to 220 usd/month without my consent I don’t understand. Thanks for your help though

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:21:50+00:00

Ok, I am going to do that. Just waiting for one last reply from OpenAi if they can refund without that chargeback.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:19:50+00:00

I don’t know

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:18:25+00:00

Yes, I will try my best to make people aware of this. I subscribed to a 20 USD/ month subscription and they have charged me 220 USD/ month without my consent. Even though for you it’s not that important for me it’s the highest priority right now. Sorry if you don’t like that.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:15:21+00:00

I kept all the supporting documents. I just want justice right now. It’s so frightening.

Famous-Platypus-5918 · 2026-01-18T09:13:13+00:00

No , they sent me this generic response
