Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 65 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the pricing misleading, with initial offers tripling or quadrupling in value, and unexpected charges appearing after signing up for what they believed was a trial or a lower monthly fee. Reviewers frequently reported difficulty in canceling subscriptions, often finding the process unclear or non-functional on the website, leading to continued payments and debt collection attempts even after cancellation. The website itself was often described as difficult to use, with many users feeling that the service was not worth the effort and led to recurring payments. Conversely, a small portion of people felt that the site basically works just fine and had no trouble canceling their subscriptions.

I’d like to know exactly how you are meant to cancel your subscription to C Date, it seems to me you’re just given the run around on this site, they tell you to go to the home page to cancel but there’s no option there at all!!

Hey! If your debt has been passed over to an external agency, you'll need to contact them directly. Unfortunately, without your account details, I can't check the specifics of your case. If you have proof of timely cancellation, please send it to the agency contacting you. Thanks, Noel

C date scam

I would just like to add to previous comment on here as I've just found out due to not being able to cancel and yous (cdate) still continuing with trying to take payments from my account that trading standards will now be getting informed of this scam company also under EU and UK law you have no jurisdiction as the company is in German t&d lawyers. Edit (I did try to cancel but it wouldn't exactly let me and by the looks f it this has happened to multiple people so I had no choice but to call my bank and Stop the payments also you do have a trial period which I tried cancelling before an actual payment came out when I realised what a sham it was but I'll be speaking to my solicitor tomorrow so

Hi, without your account info I obviously can't check the exact details, but you could have cancelled via a link on the home page. I don't know if you contacted customer service if you were having problems finding the link. However, if you've been contacted by an external agency about a debt then it would seem like you didn't contact customer service and you didn't pay or respond to the payment emails informing you that there was an outstanding payment. When a debt has been passed over you need to contact the agency if you want to discuss the case. I am sorry to read that this has happened to you and if you have proof of an in time cancellation please send it to the agency/ lawyers. Best, Emma.

Well myself after going on c-date and…

Well myself after going on c-date and signing up for a free trial, I soon noticed this was just a bunch of cock and bull, a made up website to take advantage of people and thier hard earned money! The cancellation is pretty much an impossible task and the site will then try scare tactics with threatening letters from a debt collection agency. Well ok c-date you want to open a can of worms for yourself? Be my guest, I took on the u.k government 13 years ago, so a challenge to expose your whole infrastructure would be my pleasure!
One more letter from either c-date or collection agency's etc... relating to money you say I owe you.
Well then I will start the ball rolling from my end.

I have no so called agreement with any external agency.

Hi Paul, The cancellation link for UK customers, like yourself, is at the bottom of the home page. Unfortunately, as your debt has been passed to an external agency you need to contact them directly to discuss your account. I would also suggest you remove your private email address from this public site for your own data protection. Best, Emma.

This bunch of scammers after cancelling…

This bunch of scammers after cancelling 2 months ago even with the so called registered email address with zero log in attempts after are trying to take more money from my account .beware do not even look at this site as its made impossible to get out of.the first bit of subscription I paid as I thought I missed something and put it down to a lesson learned but they have the cheek to try once more to take money. I am in the process of billing when they entered into a contract I stated they would enter when replying to my email for every communication I have to reply time is money i do not work for nothing and I will seek legally if not paid in full .in fact I will contact my bank /police and probably the fraud squad as this is a blatant attempt of extortion and theft on their behalf .
On answering they have once more been given the email address associated . And about to be invoiced for any correspondence via email other than it was shut 2 months ago like I asked

SO ANGRY…

I cancelled my subscription in November 23 and still getting emails demanding payment. Otherwise it will be collected by debt agency. I have proof email requesting my cancellation but no one did anything. Please action my request. Very bad customer service. I have contacted action fraud with all details. Please stop this now. I don’t like bullies.

Keep asking for money despite not given permission to a premium-membership!

Since a year ago I'm having problems with this website.

I signed up for a free trial. After a few weeks I received an email thanking me for becoming a premium member and 191 euros had been debited from my credit card. I immediately sent an email requesting a refund and CANCELING my account. This was never responded to! I’ve had my credit card blocked to prevent further money from being withdrawn. Since March this year I have been receiving emails that I have to pay my overdue membership fee. This has now risen to 330 euros, even though I have not been on this website for a long time and HAVE NOT GIVEN PERMISSION to become a premium member.

Can you please stop this??

How can I share my mail-adress? You've sended a mail to fill in but I didn't get any confirmation.

Update: I had contact directly with C-date and they guaranteed me the invoice was cancelled. Hope it stops now 🙌🏻

UPDATE: thanks for emailing me, I'll review your account with the debt collection team and we'll reply directly to your email. Best, Emma.

UPDATE: the email provided is not in our database, please check there is no typo. Sorry but how trust pilot choose to allow you to enter your email address is not controlled by me or c-date. You can also email me at cdate-trustpilot@c-date.com. Best Emma.

Hi Sandra, if you can give me the email address used on c-date and / or the email address that you used to request a cancellation and I'll see if I can find it. If the team didn't reply and you didn't get a confirmation of cancellation then it's unlikely the renewals were cancelled, customers should always re-contact the team if they don't get a cancellation confirmation. It sounds like your account has a debt on it and that debt has been passed to an external agency, but I can't be sure unless I have your account data. Hopefully we can get this sorted for you. Best, Emma.

Absolute scam I asked them to cancel subscription they said that they had cancelled the subscription then I recived emails saying that i owe £39 which I don’t and this does not comply with trading standards within uk and the next step is to report them to trading standards I have now sent them over 3 emails and have had no response

UPDATE: Thanks for the email address, I can see that your cancellation was after the renewal. The team cancelled your subscription when you asked, however, you or your bank did a chargeback for the previous payment made before the cancellation request and it's this that you've been asked to repay. However, I also see that the team have replied to your emails and you have agreed to make a partial payment which we will accept. I trust this matter is being resolved by the team but I will check back to make sure everything is ok. Best, Emma.

Hi, I am sorry to read this, please let me know your email address used on C-date so that I can make sure your subscription is cancelled and to check what the £39 debt is for. I will also check why your emails have not been replied to and to make sure the customer service team have received them. I hope to be able to resolve this for you asap. Thanks Emma.

Avoid this fraudulent website. Absolute con!

Absolute con-merchants operating a fraudulent and scam website. I stopped using this joke of a site on the 23rd of October 23 and sent an email requesting they cancel my account the same day. No reply from them and I have since received a threatening email from them stating that I owe circa £255, which will be collected by a debt agency. DO NOT threaten me with such fraudulent emails which do not stand up in a UK court of law in the future! I have reported these scammers to Trading Standards.

UPDATE: Thanks for giving me your email. I can see that the team replied in October explaining to you how to cancel your subscription, unfortunately you didn't respond to that and as such the renewals were not cancelled. There also wasn't a reply from you when you were sent two payment reminders and as a result your debt has been passed to an external debt collection agency. I am sorry that it's reached this point, I can only stress how important it is for customers to contact the team or myself before debts are passed to external agencies. I will inform the debt collection team about your review, unfortunately it is very unlikely that the account will be written off at this time. If anything changes, the team or I will contact you. Sorry that I do not have better news at this time. Best, Emma.

Hi Matt, if you didn't get a reply to your email I am very sorry, I'd need your email address to be able to look into this and to check your account. It's always advised to get in contact if you don't get a cancellation confirmation otherwise it's better to assume your request has not been received for some reason. Sounds like you didn't reply to the payment reminders because the renewal wasn't stopped and as a result your debt has been passed to an external agency. Anyway, as said, if you provide your email address I will be able to take a deeper look, or you can email me at cdate-trustpilot@c-date.com please make sure to address your email for my attention so that I see it. Thanks Emma.

I am a very attractive woman who was ghosted by the website because I called them biased and full of BOTs during my initial membership. Subsequently, 'real' men never had access to the 'real' me because I believe they never had access to my genuine profile. Men have been used as much as I have been. Since I reported this the world looked up on site but it was a big little too late.

Hi Jason, the cancellation link is on the homepage, it's sends a notification to the customer service team and when the cancellation is processed it sends a confirmation email to the customer. Sorry if you couldn't see this link, we've tried to make it easy for everybody to click. Anyway, your subscription/ renewal is cancelled and I hope that resolves the matter to your satisfaction. I suggest you remove your email from the review as it's a public site! All the best, Emma.

This company is a scam

This company is a scam. They don’t let you leave then send a German debt collection company to chase you with threatening emails asking for money. I paid the three month subscription upfront then cancelled within a few weeks. They then set this debt collection company on me who tried to get me to send them £144 via a web link despite me having proof of my cancellation request. They are scammers and prey on vulnerable people. DO NOT USE.

STEER CLEAR

STEER CLEAR - Shocking product that provides little , but gets very aggressive when you cancel your subscription, mentioning some small print clause & demanding more money . I thought I had been sent a scam email so did not respond & yet they still pursue an additional payment . Once you have cancelled your membership & don’t use the product again , then that should be enough.

Tricky Illegal Rubbery - C-Date

I reported my issue with C-Date in November 2023 at Trustpilot; several times I have tried to cancel my membership last week of September 2023 but I couldn't and everytime I received "System Error" message from them. Since that time (end of September) I have never used this site.

They sent me below emails; it seems they continue threatening me. The penalty was just a few pounds but now they want me to pay GBP 255!!!

"We wish to hereby inform you that no payment has yet been received with regard to the above-mentioned claim matter.

Consequently, the outstanding claim will be entrusted to our contracted legal partners for the purpose of initiating appropriate legal measures.

We must emphasize that obtaining an enforcement order will allow for enforcement measures to be initiated against you over a duration spanning multiple years.

Such measures include, but are not limited to, enforcement of a bank account levy, wage garnishment and forceful disclosure of assets via affidavit. Any subsequent expenses arising on the basis of such measures being initiated are, in full legal accordance, to be borne by you. The currently outstanding claim sum total would thereby continue to increase.

In order to avoid the initiation of such measures, you may transfer the claim amounting to GBP 255.88 (EUR 298.76) by no later than 18.04.2024 to the following bank account:
Beneficiary: eCollect AG
Bank payments will only be accepted in: GB
As previously noted, transfers made without the corresponding payment reference "A21MKJ24" cannot be assigned.

Alternatively, payment may also be conveniently rendered via the following link: (Credit card payments are accepted)

We must hereby reiterate, in the event the aforementioned deadline expires without either receipt of due payment or an appropriate response from you, the claim will be entrusted to our legal partners for the purpose of initiating judicial proceedings in the matter."

UPDATE 2: Hi, as per Trustpilot's rules I sent you a personal request where you can add your email address, that request has a 3 day deadline which you missed and Trustpilot don't allow me to resend it. According to Trustpilot you would have to contact them to now allow you to send me the data I need. I am very sorry about this but these are Trustpilot's rules, not ours. Alternatively, you can send an email to cdate-trustpilot@c-date.com for my attention and I will assist you directly. Kind Regards, Emma.

UPDATE: sorry you didn't want to give me your account data so that I could assist you with this case.

As mentioned in our reply to your other review, the communication you are quoting is not from C-Date, it's from eCollect and you should contact them to resolve any issues with your debt. All the best, Emma.
