Is DERP Subscription fraud?

• Subscription Services: Users may unknowingly sign up for recurring subscription plans that bill monthly or annually.
• Trial Period Charges: Some services offer free trials but require payment details; users may forget to cancel before the trial ends.
• Purchases of Digital Goods: Charges can arise from in-app purchases or downloading premium content, which users might not recall making.
• Account Upgrades: Customers might upgrade their accounts for additional features, resulting in one-time or recurring fees.
• Automatic Renewals: Users might miss notifications about auto-renewals of subscriptions they no longer want, leading to unexpected charges.
• Service Fees: Certain services may involve hidden fees or charges for administrative costs that weren't clearly disclosed.
• Family Plan Sharing: Users on family plans can be charged for their portion even if they believed expenses would be shared differently.
• Misunderstood Promotions: Some promotional offers might lead to charges if the conditions are not fully understood or adhered to by the customer.
• Multiple Accounts: Users with multiple accounts may forget they subscribed to services on one and get charged unexpectedly.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International users might see additional charges due to currency conversion when making purchases.

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

First, try to contact the derp.org 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 derp.org 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 derp.org, 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.
