  • Question
    Am I going to be billed if Netflix is still working even though I cancelled my free trial?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It depends on when you canceled. If you canceled prior to the end of the free trial, you should not be charged. But if you canceled during the second month (or after the free trial) you will be billed for the months after the free trial. It is probably still working as the free trial is still valid, but will stop working when the trial runs out.

  • Question
    Why am I being charged for Netflix when I never signed up, and how do I stop the payments?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It could be that somebody has used your bank card to pay for the service without your knowledge. In this case you should immediately contact your bank and inform them that your card has been compromised and they will take appropriate action. For refunds, if you can prove you were not using the service, the Netflix customer service team may be able to reimburse you.

  • Question
    Why is my credit card being charged when I cannot locate it on my account registration?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Call your bank/credit card company or Netflix customer support and find out where the charges are coming from. It is probably the monthly fee for Netflix.
