What is "Consul Platform"?

Consul.io helps businesses manage their subscriptions and billing processes easily. They provide tools that allow companies to create, track, and update billing information for their customers, making it simpler for everyone to stay on top of payments. If you see a charge from them, it likely means you or someone you know used one of their services for managing subscription payments.

Consul: The name of the company or service provider involved in the transaction.
Platform: Indicates the type of service or system being used, in this case, a platform that likely facilitates certain operations or services.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Why do people get charges like this from Consul?

Free Trial Conversion: Some users reported being charged after their free trial ended without canceling their subscription in time.
Team or User Additions: Adding more users or team members may increase the subscription costs, leading to unexpected charges.

If I see this charge, what should I do?

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the consul.io via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the consul.io refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with consul.io, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
