Request to Cancel Subscription

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Dear Avita Support,

I regret to inform you that the product I purchased has become unnecessary for me.

About a week ago, I bought your software on my mobile device via the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, right after installation, I accidentally clicked on an upgrade, which increased the original $12 product to nearly $30. I discussed this issue with Google Play Support, and they promptly refunded the difference.

Since then, I've had access to a shared family subscription, so I no longer need the individual service.

I would like to cancel my subscription, but I cannot find the purchase confirmation in the Google Play Store, most likely because it was removed during the refund process. I do, however, have a bank statement showing the $12 charge, and I also have a serial number. I am attaching these for your reference.

Please kindly proceed with the cancellation of my subscription.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Vendely Barna

My order: CBXBU7-NFM9P2-5YUGEW

Sadly, I can't attach here the bank's proof of payment of $11.90.

Cancellation of account that I can no longer access

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I believe that Avira is a dishonest operation.

My elderly father, who is on a pension and currently in a nursing home, accidentally installed this company's software after clicking on a popup. He was tricked into providing his credit card details and has been unknowingly charged $180 on a recurring basis for several years.

I have made multiple attempts to contact the company to resolve this issue, but there is no support email or phone number listed.

When I finally reached their support team, I provided the payment records, transaction dates, account name, and credit card details.

Despite this, they repeatedly asked for additional information that I could not provide and refused to stop the charges or issue a refund.

This is highly concerning and has caused significant financial stress for my father. I hope the company will respond promptly and resolve this matter.

Cancel automatic renewal

ok once i got her to stop reciting scropt & actually listen to what i was asking her to do

Original review Jan 20, 2025
i was away from home & lap top & couldnt log in from my phone. their website gave no way to contact them directly & none of their online answers to check worked .

there was no way to call them i could find through google & the deadline to stop the renewal was in fast approaching. Thank goodness Pissed Consumer was able to give me the customer service phone number. when i used that number i did reach a real live person who could cancel the renewal. Avira should train their people to actually listen to what is said and not only follow the script.

i clearly stated i wanted to cancell renewal & needed her help because i was calling from a hospice where my husband was dying and didnt have what i needed with me in order to log on. it was quite inappropriate to try to get me to continue with automatic renewal if you had actually heard what i said.

As close to a scam as you can get

Tried to cancel an account that was unwittingly made my my elderly father, who has been charged $180 for several years now. They kept asking for more details to cancel and refund, and even though I had the transaction details they wanted further info from the bank, which I couldnt get.

Still trying to cancel this.

They list no email address or contact details, so if you cant access an account they just keep charging. Stay away from these people.

I paid for Avira Antivirus Pro, but when I log into my account, it says that there are no active subscriptions. Can you let me know if I can download the program or if I can get a refund?
