I am truly sorry, and I completely understand your frustration. Being charged for a cancelled service — especially after contacting us multiple times — is unacceptable. You have every right to be upset. **Here's what I'm doing right now:** 1. **Immediate refund**: I'm processing a full refund for all charges since your cancellation date. You should see this within 3-5 business days. 2. **Cancellation confirmed**: I've verified that your subscription is now fully cancelled. You will not be charged again. 3. **Root cause**: I'm investigating why your previous cancellation requests weren't processed correctly, so this doesn't happen to anyone else. **Refund Breakdown:** - Month 1 post-cancellation: $XX.XX - Month 2 post-cancellation: $XX.XX - Total refund: $XX.XX I want to make this right. If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to reach out. You'll receive a refund confirmation email once processed. Again, I sincerely apologize for this experience.
