They offer tools that can assist you with budget planning and bill management, so you might see charges from them if you’re using their features to keep your finances in check. It's an easy way to get a clearer picture of your financial situation!

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 Focus?

Subscription Fees: Users may be charged for ongoing subscription plans, often resulting from forgetting to cancel after a trial period.
Premium Features: Charges can occur for accessing premium services or features that are not included in the basic free tier.
In-App Purchases: Customers might make incidental purchases within apps or services linked to Focus, leading to unexpected charges.
Account Upgrades: Upgrading accounts or purchasing additional capacity or tools may incur charges without clear communication.
Usage-Based Charges: Fees based on usage metrics, such as API calls or data storage, can lead to unexpected bills if usage exceeds free limits.
Trial Period Changes: Transitioning from a free trial to a paid plan if users fail to cancel in time may also result in charges.
Multiple Accounts: People may mistakenly create multiple accounts, leading to charges on different accounts that they may not track effectively.
Renewal Fees: Automatic renewals for subscriptions can lead to unexpected charges if users overlook the renewal terms.

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 focus.com 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 focus.com 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 focus.com, 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.
