Free Trial Turned Into $100 Charge. Here's My Refund Email.

Signed up for a free trial that required credit card info. Forgot to cancel. Got charged $100. I wrote: "I signed up for a free trial. I did not authorize this charge. Please process a refund immediately." Mentioned that charging without positive consent violates consumer protection law. Company refunded quickly.

The lesson here is that most refund denials are not final. Companies have discretionary policies that allow exceptions, but they rarely advertise them. The key is knowing which policy to reference and how to frame your request.

If you are dealing with a similar situation with Free Trial Turned, do not accept the first denial. Research their refund policy, find the specific clause that supports your case, and write a professional appeal referencing it. That single step can turn a “no” into a “yes.”

I use LaimRefund to do this research automatically. It searches the platform’s policies and relevant consumer laws, then drafts a professional appeal letter. Free to check your odds, only $3.99 to unlock the full letter.
