Complain About Bumble - learn how to file a complaint

Getting a straight answer from Bumble can feel impossible. They funnel most users through a contact form, making direct conversation difficult. Here are the main channels people use to try and break through the silence.

Immediate to never, but honestly, it usually feels like forever.

• Be Annoyingly Specific: Instead of 'My account was blocked,' say 'My account (@username) was blocked on May 24th right after I uploaded a new photo.'
• Provide All Your Details Upfront: Include your user ID, the email associated with your account, and any transaction numbers. Don't make them ask for it.
• Attach Screenshots: A picture of the error message, the incorrect charge, or the profile in question is worth a thousand words. It's hard evidence they can't ignore.

So, Bumble is ignoring you. Shocking. If your initial complaint goes into a black hole, it's time to escalate. Your best bet in the US is to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It's a public forum, and companies like Bumble are often motivated to respond to protect their rating. The process is straightforward: you fill out a form on the BBB website, and they forward it to Bumble. BBB works, but prepare to wait. Bumble usually responds, but it might take a couple of weeks.

For billing problems, don't even wait. If they've charged you incorrectly and won't respond, file a chargeback with your credit card company or bank. Explain that you tried to resolve it with the merchant first. This often gets their attention faster than anything else.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Issue with Account [[Your User ID or Email]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my Bumble account. Despite contacting your support team on [[Date of first contact]], my problem remains completely unresolved, and I have not received a substantive response.

On [[Date of incident]], [[Clearly and briefly describe the problem. For example: my account was unfairly blocked without explanation, or I was incorrectly charged $XX.XX for a Premium subscription I had already cancelled]]. This has been incredibly frustrating, as I've spent my own time trying to fix a problem that I did not cause.

To resolve this, I require you to [[State your desired outcome clearly. For example: immediately reinstate my account and provide the reason for the block, or issue a full refund of $XX.XX to my original payment method]].

Please be aware that if this issue is not resolved within 5 business days, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and initiate a chargeback with my bank for the incorrect charges.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Pro Tips for Making Your Complaint Heard

• Reference Their Terms of Service: Find the specific term they violated and mention it in your email. It shows you've done your homework and makes it harder for them to give you a generic, copy-pasted reply.
• Keep a Timeline: In your message, list the dates you've contacted them. For example, 'Contacted support on May 1st, followed up on May 8th, still no resolution.' This creates a sense of urgency and documents their failure to respond.
• Use the Phrase 'Formal Complaint': Putting 'Formal Complaint' in your email subject line can sometimes get it routed to a different, more senior team. It signals you're serious.
• One Reddit User's Trick: Someone on Reddit mentioned they got a response only after they filed a BBB complaint and then sent Bumble a final email with the BBB case number. It seemed to light a fire under them. No joke.

Tired of sending messages into the void of Bumble's contact form? Sound familiar? It’s like your complaint gets read by a robot, filed away, and then completely ignored. The endless waiting and the copy-paste replies are enough to make anyone give up. But you shouldn't have to.
