Is WM Residential Services fraud?

• Subscription Services: Many customers have reported being automatically enrolled in subscription services without clear consent, leading to unexpected charges.
• Missed Payments: If a payment is missed or not processed on time, customers may incur late fees or additional charges.
• Extra Waste Pickups: Charges can arise from extra pickups requested outside of the normal schedule, often without clear communication about the costs.
• Special Disposal Fees: Items like electronics or hazardous waste may incur additional fees for proper disposal, which some users may overlook.
• New Rates or Fee Increases: Unannounced increases in rates or new fees for services can lead to unexpected higher bills.
• Service Changes: If the customer alters their service plan, such as switching from residential to commercial, the billing structure may change significantly.
• Equipment Fees: Charges for rented equipment, such as dumpsters, can add to the total bill if not clearly understood.
• Seasonal Adjustments: Some users noted additional charges during peak seasons or holidays when service demands shift.

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

First, try to contact the wm.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 wm.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 wm.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.
