Complaint

Ghosted after paying: the last e-mails are never answered

Reported by: N. G. · After payment · ★☆☆☆☆

Last updated:

In the reported cases the company writes often before payment; after payment the tempo changes: first delays, then one-line replies, finally silence. The customer’s last e-mails with explanations and documents stay unanswered for months; reminders get no response either. Anyone paying these companies should keep this in mind: in the reported cases, the frequency of e-mails changed markedly between before and after payment and at some point stopped altogether; a recurring pattern.

This card describes a complaint type rather than one incident; details may vary from report to report.

Communication complaints: reply time depends on payment (graphic)
Evidence: Dated e-mails, invoices and payment records are kept on file; they are not published here to protect identities, and are shared with the authorities and with the company under the right of reply.

How to recognise this situation

  • After payment, e-mails are first answered late, then not at all.
  • You cannot reach anyone by phone or message either.
  • The issue in your last message stays open.

Questions to ask the provider

  • By what date will you answer this e-mail?
  • If I cannot reach the person handling my account, whom should I write to?
  • Will you continue the service; if not, when will you hand over my documents?

What to do about this type of complaint

Ask for the name and direct e-mail of the person preparing the report; confirm every call in a dated message. If replies stop, send one written formal notice and make sure your company’s registry and tax access no longer sits with the provider.
