Hi there! I understand you've been charged for two months for a subscription to the Formula weight loss diet app that you did not order or want, and you'd like a refund and to cancel it. Let's get this sorted out for you.

To start, have you already tried canceling the subscription from within the app or through the platform (like the app store) you originally subscribed from? If not, I can guide you through the cancellation steps first.

If you want, here’s how to cancel the subscription via the app on your device:

1. Open the Formula app and go to the Profile tab.
2. Scroll down to the Purchases section and tap "Manage Subscriptions."
3. Select the subscription you want to cancel.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation.

This will stop any future charges, but cancellation usually does not refund past charges automatically.

For refunds: According to the app's money-back & refund policy, refunds are generally not available for renewal charges if the subscription was not canceled beforehand. However, since you didn’t intend to order this, I recommend contacting Formula’s customer support directly at [email protected] and explaining the situation. They may be able to assist you with a refund.

If the charges were made through a third-party app store (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play), you might also be able to request a refund directly from them.

Could you please let me know if you subscribed through the app directly, or via an app store? Also, have you already tried these steps or contacted support before? That way, I can tailor the solution to your exact situation.

I never downloaded the app, because I didn't realize that I was getting myself into something I didn't want. I have checked and that app is nowhere on my phone.

Thanks for clarifying that you never downloaded the app. That helps narrow down the possibilities.

Since the subscription charge happened without your app installation, it's very likely the subscription was purchased via an app store linked to your account (like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store), or possibly an unintended payment authorization on your payment method.

Here’s what I recommend next:

1. Check your subscription status directly on your device or the app store payment platform:

- For Windows and WebKit browser on Windows 10, since you don’t have the app, check the subscription through the app store or payment service where you might have unknowingly subscribed, such as the Microsoft Store if you used that, or even your payment card statement details for clues to which platform charged you.

- Visit your payment method’s activity or subscriptions page to identify where the charge came from.

2. Cancel subscription from app stores or payment service:

- If you find the subscription under your accounts (Apple, Google, Microsoft, or PayPal), cancel it from there. Cancellation prevents future charges.

3. Contact Formula support for refund:

- Since you didn’t intend to subscribe or use the app, contact Formula's support at [email protected] and explain the situation. Include any transaction IDs or receipts you have. They can assist with refunds or investigate unauthorized charges4.

4. Check for unauthorized transactions:

- If you see charges you didn’t authorize, you might want to notify your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and block further unauthorized payments.

If you want, I can walk you through checking subscriptions on common platforms or help draft a message to Formula’s support team.

Does this sound okay? Do you know which payment platform the charges appeared through? That will help me guide you more precisely.

thank you. I will go with some of your suggestions.
