- Send multiple polite but firm emails to Babbel customer service emphasizing you cancelled the subscription before renewal.
- Include proof such as cancellation confirmation emails to strengthen your refund claim.
- Reference online forums or Reddit threads where others report similar issues to show you are informed and persistent.
- If emails go unanswered, escalate by disputing the charge with your bank or payment platform (e.g. PayPal, Google Play) using your cancellation proof.
- Mention potential consumer protection concerns around auto-renewals and refunds to add weight to your request.
- Try contacting during weekdays as Babbel support can be slow or unavailable on weekends.
- Act quickly after the charge or renewal to increase chances of a successful refund.
- Avoid relying solely on Babbel’s official refunds policy as user experiences show little flexibility and responsiveness.
- Use language that conveys you expect a refund due to their lack of service or unexpected charge, for example stating the service did not meet expectations or you cancelled in time.
- If initial attempts fail, repeatedly escalate by contacting Babbel support, your bank, and posting on public forums for additional pressure.
