Noom Hidden Upfront Charges Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous consumer complaints regarding Noom’s potentially fraudulent and misleading signup practices used to fool customers into paying large upfront charges when those customers only intended to try a “risk-free trial.”

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Noom may have deliberately modified its signup process to entice consumers to begin the Noom enrollment process with the promise of a free trial, only to pull a bait and switch at the end of the signup process.  Many consumers report that Noom leads them to believe they are only signing up for a 7-day trial membership, but then later in the signup process Noom tries to get consumers to skip the trial period entirely, and instead pay a large upfront cost for the entire Noom program totaling more than $100.  In addition, although the signup process still offers a button to continue with the trial membership, Noom deliberately hides or minimizes this option to make finding and selecting it more difficult, and to make users more likely to instead agree to waive the trial period—many of whom skip the trial without even realizing they have done so.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of Noom customers unwittingly charged large upfront fees to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

If you were enticed into being charged for a large upfront payment by Noom when you only intended to sign up for a no-risk trial membership, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

ClassPass Partner Earnings Miscalculation Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from business owners regarding ClassPass’s potentially fraudulent practice of miscalculating the earnings paid to ClassPass partner businesses.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that ClassPass may be violating its agreements with respect to payments in order to underpay studios, gyms, wellness and beauty venues that partner with ClassPass and keep the extra revenue for itself.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of ClassPass partner businesses to recover earnings underpayments.

Founded in 2013, ClassPass claims to be “revolutionizing the fitness and wellness industry,” but complaints from business owners paint a darker picture. Business owners accuse ClassPass of continually underpaying their businesses, and allege that once ClassPass signs up a large enough number of studios in a local area that ClassPass further decreases payouts to studios, or “pushes the payouts even lower.” Other studio partners say ClassPass is a “horrible company to work with.” Partner studios also claim that ClassPass are “thieves” who have a “lack of attention to critical matters like pay.” Studio owners further allege that although ClassPass is supposed to provide partner businesses with dynamic pay — meaning that studios are supposed to receive larger payouts for busier classes — that ClassPass instead pays “close to the minimum payout” even for classes that are “completely full.”

If you are the owner of a studio, gym, wellness or beauty venue that partners with ClassPass and believe ClassPass may have underpaid you the earnings you are owed, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

NRG Energy Inc. ESCO Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from consumers regarding NRG Energy’s potentially fraudulent business practices.

As detailed in a Wall Street Journal report, nearly 20 years ago Texas shifted away from using full-service regulated utilities to deliver power to consumers in favor of regional deregulated retail power companies.  According to the WSJ, since this change Texas consumers have paid more for electricity than state residents who are still served by traditional utilities.  In total, three quarters of the retail electricity sold in Texas comes from just two retail-energy providers—Vistra Corp. and NRG Energy Inc.—and their subsidiaries.

NRG Energy is one of the largest retail energy suppliers in the United States.  NRG entices residential customers to sign up for its service by offering its energy at low initial “teaser rates.”  Yet the company doesn’t alert unsuspecting customers that when the teaser rate period expires, they will be charged exorbitant variable energy rates.  NRG’s customers are given no advance notice of these excessive variable rates.  The company also does not disclose to customers that its rates are consistently higher than the rates charged by traditional utilities, or how variable rate customers can calculate (and avoid) steep variable gas and electricity charges.

NRG Energy also defrauds customers through a pricing strategy rigged in the company’s favor.  When the underlying wholesale market price of energy that NRG purchases for resale goes up, NRG simply passes on these costs to their customers by raising rates.  However, when the market price goes down, NRG’s rate remains at an inflated level higher than the market rate.  NRG’s practice of charging inflated electric and gas prices is intentionally designed to maximize revenue without providing any additional value for consumers.

If you used or are currently using NRG Energy to supply your electricity or gas, we urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.  Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.  You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

PlateJoy Health Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding PlateJoy’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling consumers in pricey annual or multi-month paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that PlateJoy may have lured users into lengthy paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials and purported “monthly” costs, obscuring the fact that those trials will automatically convert into six-month or annual paid subscriptions with large upfront charges. Evidence further suggests that PlateJoy has made the cancellation process unnecessarily difficult and that unauthorized, recurring charges may continue even after a consumer has cancelled the unwanted subscription. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of PlateJoy users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.

Founded in 2012, PlateJoy offers weekly recipes and grocery lists that it claims are personalized to help consumers achieve “optimal health and wellbeing.” But consumer complaints have described PlateJoy as a “rip off,” a “fraud,” “sneaky,” and a “scam,” and accuse PlateJoy of hitting consumer’s accounts with “surprise” charges. These complaints allege that PlateJoy misled consumers into signing up for a subscription at a small monthly amount with the promise that they could “cancel any time” before instead charging a large upfront fee, that PlateJoy uses auto-renewal to convert consumers’ free trials into paid subscriptions without their knowledge, that PlateJoy makes it difficult to cancel the subscription and to contact customer service, and that PlateJoy has continued to charge consumers even after they cancel.

If you were enrolled in a paid PlateJoy membership and were charged recurring payments or a large upfront fee by PlateJoy without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

Busuu Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding Busuu’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Busuu may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions.  Evidence further suggests that customers who realize they are being charged without authorization are not able to cancel the unauthorized subscriptions through Busuu.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of Busuu users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

Consumer complaints accuse Busuu of running a “scam,” committing “fraud” against them, and “stealing” money.  Users say that Busuu charges consumers for lengthy subscriptions without notice and without authorization, that Busuu uses auto-renewal to continue renewing consumer accounts, that Busuu makes it intentionally difficult to stop future auto-renewal charges or contact the company regarding their concerns, that Busuu uses a difficult to navigate CAPTCHA tests when consumers attempt to cancel their subscriptions, that Busuu refuses to provide refunds when requested, that Busuu actually increases the price it charges consumers upon renewal of their subscriptions, and that even consumers who don’t use their Busuu accounts are charged for renewal of their subscriptions.

If you were enrolled in a paid Busuu membership and were charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by Busuu without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone!  We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case. You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

MalwareBytes Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding MalwareBytes’ potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that MalwareBytes may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions. Evidence further suggests that customers who realize they are being charged without authorization are not able to cancel the unauthorized subscriptions through MalwareBytes. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of MalwareBytes users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.

MalwareBytes provides products that are intended to stop malware from infecting consumers’ computers, preventing privacy violations and identity theft.  But consumers accuse MalwareBytes of being a “scam,” assessing “fraudulent charges,” and leaving them “stuck” paying for unwanted and unneeded services.  User complaints further indicate that MalwareBytes charges consumers for subscriptions that last one to two years without prior notice of the charge, and charges users without authorization.  Those consumers that do manage to discover that they are being charged by MalwareBytes allege that they find it difficult or “virtually impossible” to contact MalwareBytes to stop future auto-renewal charges or to otherwise contact the company with concerns or complaints, and further report that MalwareBytes refuses to provide refunds for unauthorized charges when requested.

If you were enrolled in a paid MalwareBytes membership and were charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by MalwareBytes without your knowledge or consent, or had difficulty cancelling auto-renewal charges, you are not alone!  We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case. You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.
