“Problem fixed”

Curt B.
9/17/24

Everyone was helpful and informative even though it did take a day they did get my situation taken care of and I appreciate that. Hopefully I won't have to use them again but if I do I'll be comfortable in that. Thank you for your service.

“Wrong schematics”

Michael S.
9/2/24

Trying to find a wiring diagram for my 2021 Ford Ranger. Was sent nice colored schematics, which turned out to be incorrect. In all fairness, the Ford dealership didn't have the right schematics either. Nothing seem to match the vehicle. We identified the proper wire by using the pin that it was attached to rather than the color of the wires, which were not correct by either person.

Didn't get an answer in the end even after providing details requested.

That was where I was directed to when I wanted answers about repairing my convection microwave oven door.

They tell you it's $5 fully refundable. Then, you check your credit card account and they charge $5 AND $35 AND it's automatically recurring $35/month BUT THEY DON'T tell you til you try to cancel. Very deceitful and unethical.

Tip for consumers:
Deceitful and unethical.

Excellent service, but I found the Tutu app has a virus which caused my iPad to crash, so, wishing still for the game hack as it did not go through when a downloaded app.

So far the worst experience I have ever had with a company. I have never posted a bad review in my life. But JustAnswer is that one scamming company that's taken me there. I'm completely disgusted with this company and would advise anyone who reads this to not use.
I had paid $5 to have one question answered, this was an offer on their website. I got answer from a professional and was billed $5 immediately, as expected. A whole month later, I see new charge on my account, they took $46 out of my account without notifications! I immediately called as I was horrified. I was told that this was a membership fee that was coming with the $5 question I had asked a month prior. What?!? At no point they clearly stated I would also be enrolling in such scam. They're offering you the opportunity to pay for a one time question at $5 but on top of that you're paying a secret membership? It makes no sense! Anyone with a brain would then pay for the membership alone and ask as many questions as they'd like. I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the supervisor who was very determined to hold on my $46 as if her life depended on it. They made me want to vomit. They stole my money and never sent me a heads up either.
Gross company, do not recommend. You will be met with nasty surprises like this one.

Hello Romain,

Thank you for letting us know about this. We're sorry to hear about any frustration caused by the membership billing.

It sounds like you accepted a free trial offer to try our membership program. At the end of the trial, the membership bills automatically to avoid disruptions in service. There is messaging on the payment page about the membership billing and the 7-day trial. As well, we send out several E-mails about the membership benefits during the trial week along with a billing reminder 3-days prior to membership billing being processed.

We have tried to reach out to you publicly and privately several times in the past week and have received no replies from you.

Please reach out to our Customer Care team and we're happy to take another look at your account.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
JustAnswer Customer Care

This is a US Company using UK-based advisors. Paying the Trial £5 initiates a contract with them that entitles them to take £50 every month unless you terminate the contract within 7 days.

Tip for consumers:
Citizens Advice or your Local Solicitor would give better value and service.

I want to alert everyone who decides to register and obtain service from JustAnswer.:
• While the company claims that all the "expert's" credentials are verified, they are not transparent about the process of verification and methodology.
• JustAnswer is not liable or accountable for any consequences caused by wrong answers the "expert" gives you. Basically, if the antique expert in the mood to decide that the painting is genuine and gives you an estimate of what in practice happened to be wrong, nor JustAnswer nor expert are liable for the losses you carried in the result.
• JustAnswer constantly changes the terms of reference. You can easily track this information from the multiple available internet archives.
• While Terms of Reference describes the dispute mechanism it never worked in practice as in order to start the dispute the company must respond to you in writing and JustAnswer never responds to you.
• Please read the JustAnswer terms of reference before you proceed with the payment for the services. Once you read it you will understand that there is no guarantee or protection against any mistakes caused by the "expert". Also, please read the definition of "Expert" the JustAnswer determined in the Terms of Reference.
Save your money and don't be tricked!

Tip for consumers:
Use services from the professionals whose qualifications you really can verify! Don't let others trick you and steal your money!

Hello Natalia,

Thank you for getting in touch with us about this experience. We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the assistance that you needed.

The Experts on the site are site users, just like customers. The primary difference that allows them to answer questions is that they have had their relevant licensing, education, or work-history verified by an independent 3rd party organization. There is no client/provider relationship created in using the platform as responses are for information purposes only.

If you do need appraisal or other services for insurance purposes, you can pay an additional fee to the Expert to connect with them to provide more comprehensive documentation or services outside of the site.

Please reach back out to us if you need any further assistance.

Regards,
JustAnswer Customer Care

We were having trouble with a new thermostat we just installed in our RV. We called a local mobile RV repair place. They wanted $150 to arrive and $150/hour! Yikes! So, we turned to the internet, and did a search for the problem we were having. This is how we found JustAnswer. It's the first time we ever used a pay site. We presented our problem and the RV mechanic told us how much he would charge for the answer. It was certainly very reasonable! So, we said, yeah, let's do this thing! He provided us with some information which allowed us to discover that we had installed the incorrect thermostat. If we would have had the mobile RV guys come out for $300, that's what they would've told us... after who knows how many hours at $150/hour?! Needless to say, we are very happy with the answers we received. Our RV technician was available to us within 30-45 minutes and remained available to us for as long as we needed him. The result is that we found out what the problem was, how to fix it, and saved a whole lot of money! We are very impressed and would definitely use the service again and recommend to friends.

Hi Rose,

Right on! Thanks for giving us a try. We love hearing these stories, and we're glad that you were able to connect with a mechanic that was able to help you troubleshoot the problem at a fraction of the cost, that's why we created the site in the first place.

We look forward to working with on any other questions that you have in the future.

After five months of searching for an attorney who would just answer a few questions, lead me to whom I needed to speak with, what kind of questions I really needed to ask to find the right attorney, and what questions I was not asking correctly, my rep from this site not only answered my question, he led to whom I needed to call, report, and follow up with in order to get a resolution to the issues I am wanting to address. Every attorney I spoke with in the real estate business is willing and represents the dealers, not the purchaser. I was so upset and didn't know how to resolve these problems. With his help I contacted the peoples whom he suggested I call and found the right person to help me. WOW! How great is that? Again after five months of searching in one day I was was directed to the right people to help. If you have a question and are about to give up-don't. Just answer will have someone working there who is just the right person to answer and maybe direct you to whom you need to speak with or contact. DON'T GIVE UP! They really are here to help. Shari

Signed up for a $1 - 7 Days Trial to get ancestry for my grandfather. Waited 15 minutes for an ‘Expert' to come online. At that time I texted in their portal that when my wait time reached 30 minutes I will have to cancel. IMMEDIATELY a ‘Retention' Specialist came online to say my question would be prioritized. Ten minutes later, the ‘Expert' comes online with a $34 fee for HER services! I said NO and why. The website did NOT mention that, and I called the number to cancel. It also stated the monthly membership fee is $20, but later language under Membership Management stated $50. FIFTY. Companies that do THIS are operating unethically because they give NO indication of their trickery in their website language. Customers should be told the truth in order to engage from a point of awareness and knowledge. That's how we make informed, wise choices. I did manage to adjust size of Purchase Order screenshot taken from laptop screen, after all. You asked for my Facebook Password and THAT is. A No-No. So sorry, no can do that.

I was able to submit a Review for Ali Express earlier this evening without having to do that.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t Do It (unless you are okay with Bait and Switch).
