The entire session with Cleverbridge…

The entire session with Cleverbridge was absolutely positive. The incredibly quick response to my inquiry, the clear and wonderful words, the intelligent explanation of what had occurred to me and the inspiring acknowledgement of the solution I was looking for is, in my opinion, something all who have problems, wish to experience

This is the latest I have written to Cleverbridge and I got an immediate response.

Cleverbridge then, according to them, sends it on to AVIRA, but as you can see from miirostrik, absolutely nothing happens.
You are sent back and forth until one of you gives up, and that should be the customer, at least that's how I feel.

No I haven't heard from Avira, it's very frustrating.
You can only write to Avira on their website if you are logged in, it's very difficult when I don't get a text message on my phone it worked in 2024, I got a text message there. I won't get that anymore, if the problem can't be solved I would like my money back.
Kind regards

Since I don't get a code via SMS, I've tried logging in with my Google account, when I'm logged in, I can only see my free Avira antivirus, not my paid PRIME, I hope the problem can be solved.
Kind regards

from Cleverbridge
It's the same, I don't get an SMS when I log in.
I would therefore like to cancel my Avira Prime subscription, future payments should also be deleted.

I don't expect to get my money back, so I can't recommend purchasing AVIRA.

The support was excellent, as always.

Fast, professional, clear, and effective. The issue was understood immediately, the VAT was refunded quickly, and the corrected invoice was reissued without hassle.

This is why I consistently appreciate Plesk support they are reliable, polite, and they actually solve problems. Very positive experience once again.

I had autorenew turned off and they still charged me and renewed. I contacted them for a refund and no reply. I have read about other users being scammed by this company.

I asked to cancel my subscription and Romel responded immediately and cancelled it. Normally, it is almost impossible to get subscriptions cancelled. That speaks volumes about CLeverbridge's ethics. I'll use your company again if I have a need for these services.

I signed up for a subscription two years ago. Perhaps I accidentally selected the annual renewal option, but a few days ago they charged me the renewal fee. I was absolutely convinced I hadn't renewed it.
I contacted them, and they refunded me within a day. This is the world we all desire. Thank you to all your staff.

Feci un abbonamento due anni fa.. forse sbadatamente ho selezionato il rinnovo annuale del servizio, senza volerlo, pochi giorni fa mi hanno prelevato la cifra relativa al rinnovo, ero convintissimo di non averlo effettuato il rinnovo.
Li ho contattati ed in un giorno hanno effettuato il rimborso. È questo il mondo che desideriamo tutti. Grazie a tutto il vostro staff.

This company has the WORST Customer Service, which is the #1 complaint.

3/4/26
This is an update to the review I posted below. Based upon the reply I received from Cleverbridge, I am pleased that logic and common sense prevailed. However, when i searched for CCLeaner, I was brought to Cleverbridge which led to my total frustration since there is no phone to call, only AI type Q&A and a form you have to fill out for consideration; also noting they they do not refund the existing charge which was a renewal I never authorized. They do not warn you of the renewal date on purpose in hopes that they can zap you with an annual charge before you can cancel. Their should be a Consumer Rights law requiring notification before renewal. Little did I know that Cleverbridge manages renewals for Piriform which is the company who produces CCleaner, which makes it difficult on where to get support. So, although I am pleased that they committed a refund, my 1-Star review still stands due to the complexity of something which could be handled by a simple 5-minute phone call with a real Human. THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION DURING MY WILD GOOSE CHANCE TO FIND SUPPORT.

5-Star KUDOS to Trustpilot for allowing Consumers a tool to vent their frustrations with companies who create layers between the customer and the company. THANK YOU Trustpilot!!!
==================================
3/3/26
This company has the absolute worst Customer Service. They automatically renewed my subscription without any prior notice. There is no way to contact them by phone. All they offer are topics, which will take a lot of your time to fill out a request form, which they will review and decide what to do. They have no regard for customers and make it VERY difficult to get a refund on a product I do not use. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY, UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING FRUSTRATED.

Hi Rich,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the unexpected charge — we completely understand how upsetting this must have been.

Cleverbridge acts as the merchant of record for various software manufacturers, including Piriform. While we do not offer phone support, we strive to provide helpful and timely assistance through our Help Center and online channels, where customers can submit tickets, request refunds, or find technical support contact information. For Piriform products like CCleaner, all support is handled directly by their team, so any ticket you submit is referred to them for resolution.

Thanks to the contact details you provided, we were able to locate your renewal order, cancel any future automatic renewals, and reimburse the last charge from March 1st. The refund will reach your account within 5 business days, and you will receive a confirmation email within the next 2 hours.

We sincerely appreciate you sharing your feedback and giving us the opportunity to make this right. Your experience helps us improve, and we are committed to ensuring a smoother, more positive experience for all our customers.

Warm regards,

Cleverbride stole $97.39

I purchased a renewal of Piriform CCleaner for $24.95.
I then noticed a withdrawal from my debit card for $97.39. Looking at the Cleverbridge site listing of all my Cleverbridge purchases for the past 5 years no charges were listed for $97.39. I cancelled the $24.95 cancelling my renewal of CCleaner which is a really good software for keeping updated programs. It is a 5. Cleverbridge is a 0 and cannot be trusted. They tried to hide the $97.39 which depleted my checking account almost entirely-I'm not rich. Of course they cancelled the purchase, but it caused me not to have money to pay off a Bass Pro Credit card and that cost me $23 in fees. It is all recorded on my USAA bank records.
