Dealing with Citrix ShareFile's billing can be a nightmare. It's not just you. While their overall scores look okay, their Better Business Bureau profile has logged 19 complaints in the last three years, many pointing to the same headaches. The biggest complaints we see online are about confusing billing practices and a cancellation process that feels designed to make you give up. People get stuck with unexpected charges or find it nearly impossible to simply close their account without getting on the phone and arguing.
Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint
- Call Early: Try calling them right when their phone lines open in the morning (EST) to avoid the afternoon rush.
- Have Info Ready: Don't start searching for your account number or invoice details while you're on the phone. Have it all in front of you.
- Use Keywords: When talking to a rep or bot, use clear keywords like "cancel account" or "billing dispute" to get routed correctly.
How to Escalate Your Complaint
If customer service isn't helping, don't just give up. First, call back and immediately ask for a "supervisor" or the "retention department." These teams usually have more power to issue refunds or process cancellations.
If that fails, it's time to go external. Your best bet for a B2B service like ShareFile is filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It's a formal process and it's free. You submit your case online, and the BBB forwards it to a corporate contact at Citrix. The company is then expected to respond publicly. It works, but prepare to wait. Citrix usually responds, but it might take a week or two for the process to play out.
Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved
- Ask for the Retention Department Immediately. When you call, don't waste time with the first-level support for cancellation or billing issues. Immediately say, "Please transfer me to the retention or cancellations department." They are paid to keep you, so they have the power to actually fix things.
- Request a Confirmation Email. Whatever they promise you on the phone (a refund, a cancellation, a credit), do not hang up until you have a confirmation email in your inbox. A verbal promise is not enough.
- Reference Your Ticket Number. If you submitted an online ticket, reference that number in every single communication, whether it's on the phone or social media. It creates a clear timeline of your efforts.
