Complain About BookRags - learn how to file a complaint

Getting in touch with BookRags can feel like sending a message in a bottle. They don't offer phone support, forcing you into channels that are easy for them to ignore. Here are the official, though often frustrating, ways to contact them.

Don't hold your breath. Based on hundreds of user complaints, response times can feel like an eternity, if a response comes at all.

• Prepare your account details ahead of time, including your username and the email you used to sign up.
• Be extremely clear in your first email. State your desired outcome immediately (e.g., 'I want to cancel my account and receive a refund for the unauthorized charge of $19.99').
• Attach screenshots of any unauthorized charges from your bank or credit card statement. Proof is powerful.

If BookRags ignores your emails, it's time to escalate. Don't just give up. Your first and most powerful move is to contact your bank or credit card company and file a chargeback for 'services not rendered' or 'unauthorized transaction'. This directly disputes the charge and often gets a faster result than dealing with BookRags.

Next, file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Filing with the BBB gets their attention, but it's not instant. Expect to wait a bit. Given their 'F' rating, the BBB is very familiar with their practices. You must show the BBB that you tried to resolve the issue with BookRags first, so keep copies of your emails.

Subject: Urgent: Formal Complaint & Cancellation Request - Account [[Your Username/Email]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to address an unauthorized charge on my account, despite my previous attempts to cancel my subscription.

On [[Date]], my card was charged [[$Amount]] for a service I did not authorize and have actively tried to cancel. Frankly, having to track this down and spend my time on it has been incredibly frustrating.

To resolve this, I require the immediate cancellation of my account and a full refund of the [[$Amount]] charge. Please process this without delay.

If I do not receive confirmation of both the cancellation and the refund within 48 hours, I will proceed with filing a chargeback with my bank and lodging a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

• Use a direct subject line. Instead of 'Question about my account,' use 'Unauthorized Charge, Immediate Refund Required.' This is more likely to get flagged for a response.
• Always demand written confirmation. When you request a cancellation, ask for a confirmation email. Don't take their word for it. Without proof, they might continue to charge you.
• Go public if you're ignored. A user on the BBB site mentioned they only got a response after posting their complaint publicly. A negative Trustpilot or BBB review can sometimes motivate a company when emails fail.
• Mentioning a chargeback is a threat. It costs them money and affects their merchant account standing. It's often more effective than just asking for a refund.
