  Complaint: 23315483
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  While I understand the platforms policy regarding fraudulent activity, I find it unacceptable that creators are left financially unprotected after delivering paid content in good faith. The buyer accessed and viewed my content including a paid post, direct messages, and a custom video and then their payment was reversed due to what OnlyFans claims to be fraudulent activity.
  
  
  As a result, I lost $114 in total from my creator balance. The content is already delivered and cannot be taken back. I also never received any evidence of the alleged fraud, nor was I given a chance to dispute the chargeback myself. This puts creators at risk of exploitation.
  
  
  I request that OnlyFans create a process to allow creators to submit proof (such as message logs, timestamps, or confirmation of content delivery) in such disputes. I am asking for a review of this specific case, a return of the deducted amount, and a better system for creator protection in the future.
  

  Sincerely,
  
  ******* ********

  and was left with no protection.I reached out to OnlyFans support multiple times and only received templated responses referring me to section 14.b.iii of the Terms of Service. But this does not address the core issue: I delivered digital content in good faith, and the platform allowed the buyer to revoke payment after consuming it. This opens the door to abuse and fraud at the expense of creators.Resolution Requested:I am requesting that my $114 in earnings be reinstated, or that this case is at least properly reviewed by someone beyond an automated system. I also ask that OnlyFans create a transparent dispute process for creators in these situations, where we can prove content was delivered and avoid being exploited by fraudulent ********* OnlyFans creator account is under the name: ddslil The email associated with my account is: ***********************

  We have carefully reviewed the case and can confirm that the deductions from the Creators balance were the result of a chargeback initiated due to fraudulent activity on the user's account.

  Our dedicated team actively monitors payment activity to ensure the safety of both Creators and Fans. When suspicious activity is detected, all associated transactions are automatically refunded, and the corresponding amount is deducted from the Creators balance.

  
   
  These reversals were processed in accordance with our Terms of Service. Circumstances in which we may withhold Creator Earnings are described in paragraph "14.b.iii" in the following section of our Terms of Use - ****************************************, which all users are required to accept when creating their account.

  
  
  Please note that any content purchased using fraudulent payment methods is automatically removed from the users purchased section, and the user permanently loses access to that content.
  
  Hope this information is helpful.

  I am filing a complaint regarding a charge to my *********** card for $42.19 by OnlyFans, which I believe was excessive and not reasonably disclosed. The original subscription price I paid to the creator @catsandcars187 was $12.66. I was aware of the auto-renewal feature, but due to my infrequent use of the site, I missed the window to unsubscribe before it renewed.What concerns me is that the renewal was charged at over three times the original ratewithout any prior notice or opportunity to approve the higher fee. This seems misleading at best and unfair to the customer. I messaged ********************** support five times, requesting a one-time payment reversal based on the price discrepancy, but my request was denied with a copy-paste response citing their no refund policy.I also mentioned that this is not the first time Ive had an issue with excessive auto-renewal charges. While I did not previously contest smaller discrepancies, this charge was unusually high, and I feel it warrants an exception or ********* make matters worse, OnlyFans support responded with a threatening message warning that if I file a chargeback, my account will be permanently banned. I believe this is an unprofessional business practice and possibly a coercive deterrent against customers exercising their legal right to dispute unfair charges.Resolution Requested: I am requesting a refund of $42.19 and a revision of OnlyFans policy to provide users with clear, timely warnings when auto-renewals are set to charge significantly more than the original subscription price.I would prefer not to take further action, but I will consider filing a chargeback through my credit card provider or pursuing additional avenues if this matter is not resolved fairly.

  We have thoroughly reviewed the case and can confirm that the Auto-Renew feature for the subscription to @catsandcars187 remained active at the time of the next billing date. Our system clearly displays both the renewal price and the scheduled renewal date, along with the status of the Auto-Renew feature. The interface is specifically designed to make all current subscription details easily accessible to users.
  
  The user initially subscribed to the creator with a limited 70% discount offered to new subscribers. After the promotional billing period ended, the subscription automatically renewed at the standard full price, which was clearly indicated prior to renewal.
  
  That said, we want both Creators and Fans to have the best possible experience on OnlyFans. As a one-time gesture of goodwill, weve added $30 in wallet credit to the users account. This amount can be used anywhere on the platform to continue enjoying our community.
  
  We hope this clarification is helpful.

  On December 20, 2024, I received two emails from OnlyFans. One stated that my account was limited due to a prior chargeback connected to a different email address ************************* and the second said my account had been deactivated for unusual financial activity. I do not own or control the email address in question and believe it may be connected to a fraudulent charge made years ago when my credit card was stolen.Since December 21, 2024, I have sent 19 messages to OnlyFans (on 12/21, 12/22, 12/25, 01/27, 01/28, 01/31, 02/05, 02/14, 02/15, 02/16, 02/24, 03/15, 03/16, 03/18, 03/19, 03/21, 03/23, and 03/26). These messages have included polite requests, explanations, appeals, and offers to repay whatever is needed despite the chargeback not being my fault. Every response I have received has been automated. I have explicitly asked how much I owe and how I can resolve this, but no one has ever provided an actual answer or a path forward.I have followed their instructions and submitted appeals, each time reiterating that I am willing to make things right. My appeals continue to be automatically denied, with no acknowledgment of the details Ive shared or the seriousness of my request.This situation has prevented me from verifying a new account or accessing the platform in any way, which not only impacts me but also a friend Ive helped with content creation. This has hurt her opportunities to earn income and, indirectly, OnlyFans' ability to benefit from it as well.All I want is to speak with a real person who can clarify what steps I need to take to bring my account back in good standing. Im fully willing to work with OnlyFans and resolve this even if it involved repayment, but I cant do anything if no one will respond with instructions on how we can resolve this issue.

  Greetings. Our Compliance team conducted a thorough investigation of the case and carefully considered all the evidence provided by the user. As a result, it was decided to reactivate the user's profile and not initiate a clawback to cover the outstanding balance, on the condition that the user adheres to our platforms Terms of Service going forward.

  My creator account on ********************** was permanently disabled shortly after I was asked to complete a re-verification process. Heres what happened:I successfully changed the email address linked to my account. After that, I was unable to log in and received a message that I needed to re-verify my identity on the platform. I completed the verification process as requested.Soon after, I received a message that my account had been permanently disabled due to a violation of the platforms Terms of Service. At that point, I assumed something may have gone wrong during the verification process perhaps a misidentification or technical error and I submitted an appeal to explain the situation. I made it clear that I was willing to re-verify and fully cooperate to confirm my identity.However, my appeal was denied with a message stating that the reason for the ban was prohibited cybersecurity activity. No further explanation was provided, and the decision was described as final. I have not received any responses to my follow-up inquiries.Since then, I have tried to create a new account but it appears my name has been entirely blocked from the platform, which makes it impossible to move forward.OnlyFans has been an important part of my income and professional platform, and I have always used it in good faith. I am not trying to avoid responsibility I simply want to either regain access to my original account or at least be given the opportunity to open a new one legitimately, without being automatically rejected because of my name.This situation has affected me significantly, and I am ready to cooperate fully, verify my identity again, and comply with any platform requirements.Username: @kate_shade Email associated with account: ********************* Approximate date of the issue: Early December 2024 Thank you for your time and consideration.

  Business Response

  To Whom It May Concern,

  We have a dedicated department responsible for addressing all fraud cases on our platform. We take credit card security very seriously and have implemented a range of measures to investigate unauthorized registrations and transactions. Additionally, we work closely with our payment gateway to ensure compliance with all safety standards.

  Following a thorough investigation, we have determined that all earnings associated with the user's profile were generated through fraudulent activity, involving unauthorized transactions on the cardholders accounts. As a result, the account in question, along with any related accounts, has been deactivated and permanently removed from our platform. All transactions have been canceled and refunded to the cardholders.

  The decision to deactivate the account is final, based on the conclusions of the fraud investigation and the evidence collected.

  The user is not permitted to reinstate their account or create a new one on our platform.

  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  The user's profile was not banned; however, it is scheduled for deletion following the expiration of their last active subscription. The user retains full access to their profile during this period.
  
  After a thorough investigation, we have gathered sufficient evidence confirming that the user violated the platform's Terms of Service (****************************************) by creating multiple accounts and initiating unwarranted chargebacks.
  
  Once the last active subscription expires, the user will no longer be able to access ********************** or create new accounts.
