Cancellation and Recurring Billing Complaints
Citation Machine's terms say a subscription can be canceled at any time by using the Support Page cancellation steps or emailing wtsupport@chegg.com. Chegg's account help says to open My Account, click Orders, find the subscription, click Cancel Subscription, and confirm cancellation on the next page.
Use this table:
| Billing issue |
Complaint focus |
| Need to cancel |
Ask for cancellation confirmation |
| Cancellation flow fails |
Email wtsupport@chegg.com with screenshots |
| Charged after cancellation |
Provide confirmation and charge date |
| Wrong Chegg product canceled |
Identify Citation Machine subscription name |
| Duplicate charge |
Provide both charge records |
| Payment method issue |
Update payment in My Account |
| Subscription still active |
Ask support to confirm active orders |
Make sure the final cancellation confirmation names the subscription being canceled, not only the Chegg account.
Refund Complaints
Citation Machine's public terms point customers to support for cancellation, but they do not promise that every billing complaint receives a refund. Chegg support should review refund requests using the account, charge date, product, and cancellation timing.
Use this table:
| Refund issue |
Evidence |
| Charged after cancellation |
Cancellation confirmation and charge date |
| Tool access never worked |
Screenshots and support request date |
| Duplicate charge |
Both charges and account email |
| Wrong product subscribed |
Product name and order details |
| Trial converted to paid |
Trial start date and charge date |
| Could not cancel online |
Error screenshots and email request |
A realistic refund complaint asks for review and a written explanation, while also confirming no future charges remain scheduled.
Citation Machine support includes a help article for accessing expert feedback. It says to log in through Chegg or Citation Machine, select the paper from the list of papers, and click the Expert Check tab.
Use this table:
| Tool issue |
What to include |
| Expert feedback missing |
Paper title, account email, screenshot |

Possible emails and paper details |
Ask support to confirm whether the issue is account entitlement, paper status, browser behavior, or product scope.
Saved Citations and Account Access
Citation Machine users may have saved bibliographies, folders, citations, and work tied to a Chegg login. Account access complaints should include the login email and the project details.
Use this table:
| Account issue |
Evidence |
| Saved citations missing |
Project name, citation style, account email |
| Bibliography export failed |
File type and screenshot |
| Cannot log in |
Account email and reset attempt |
| Google sign-in mismatch |
Google account and Chegg email |
| Email change needed |
Old and new email |
| Account deletion concern |
Account email and active subscription status |
If saved work matters, export or screenshot citations before deleting the account or ending the subscription.
Privacy, Data, and Academic Use Requests
Citation Machine and Chegg accounts can contain papers, citations, payment details, and account data. Privacy or deletion requests should be handled through Chegg's privacy route after billing evidence is saved.
Use this table:
| Request |
What to include |
| Access request |
Account email and request scope |
| Deletion request |
Account email and active subscription status |
| Correct account data |
Current and corrected details |
| Marketing opt-out |
Email address involved |
| Paper deletion |
Paper title and account email |
| Account security concern |
Date noticed and suspicious activity |
If a billing or refund complaint is still open, save receipts, cancellation proof, and support messages before requesting deletion.
When to Escalate Beyond Citation Machine
| Situation |
Escalation path |
Notes |
| Cancellation flow fails |

| Charged after confirmed cancellation |
Chegg support follow-up, then payment issuer if appropriate |
Include confirmation and charge date |
| Expert feedback missing |
Citation Machine support follow-up |
Include paper title and screenshot |
| Duplicate Chegg subscription |
