What is "Consul Services"?

Consul at consul.io helps businesses manage all kinds of subscriptions and billing services. They make it easy for companies to handle payments, whether it's for a monthly service or a one-time purchase. If you see a charge from them, it’s likely for a subscription you signed up for or a service you used. Here's what their services might look like on your bill:

Consul: The name of the company providing services, here it refers to a service management tool.

Verify With Receipt

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.
