Complain About Vimeo - File a Complaint Today

Vimeo makes it tough to find a direct line for help, pushing most users toward digital methods. Here is how to navigate their system.

Honestly, getting a quick reply feels like winning the lottery.

• Be extremely specific. Include dates, amounts, and links to the videos in question.
• Attach screenshots. A picture of a surprise bill or an error message is worth a thousand words.
• Use a clear subject line like "Urgent Billing Dispute" or "Formal Complaint Regarding Account Access."
• Follow up on the same email thread. Do not create a new ticket, as that just sends you to the back of the line.

If Vimeo support gives you the runaround or ignores you, it is time to escalate. Do not just give up.

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

Filing a complaint with the BBB often gets a company’s attention. Vimeo seems to respond to complaints filed there, though it can take a couple of weeks. It is a formal process, but it shows you are serious.

Your State's Attorney General

If you believe Vimeo's practices are deceptive, especially regarding billing, filing a complaint with your state's Attorney General is a powerful move. This is for serious issues where you feel consumer protection laws have been violated.

Credit Card Chargeback

For billing disputes, this is your strongest weapon. Contact your credit card company and initiate a chargeback for the disputed amount. You must have evidence (like your support tickets) showing you tried to resolve it with Vimeo first. This often gets an immediate reaction.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Billing Issue on Account [[Your Account Email/ID]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve a persistent issue with my account that has not been addressed despite my previous contact on [[Date]].

On [[Date of Charge]], my account was charged [[$Amount]] unexpectedly. This charge is apparently due to the recent bandwidth policy changes, which were not clearly communicated for my account's usage level. Frankly, having to track this down and spend my time on it has been incredibly frustrating, and the surprise bill has disrupted my business operations.

To resolve this, I require a full refund of the [[$Amount]] charge and clear, written confirmation that my account settings have been adjusted to prevent similar surprise bills in the future.

If this is not resolved within 5 business days, I will proceed with a chargeback with my credit card provider and file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

• Use the magic words. Start your email subject line with "Formal Complaint" or "Urgent Dispute." This can sometimes get your ticket routed to a higher-level support team.
• Reference your ticket number every time. When you follow up, always reply to the original email chain and mention your ticket number. A user on Reddit noted they got ignored until they started putting the ticket number in the subject line of their follow-up emails.
• Keep it about the facts. Emotional rants are understandable but less effective. Stick to a clear timeline of events, the exact amount in dispute, and what you want as a resolution.
• Take screenshots of everything. The billing page, the error message, your support ticket confirmation. Everything. You will need it if you have to escalate to the BBB or your bank.
