    They have been sending out random SMS messages to people asking them to fill out surveys. I never provided them my phone number, signed up for anythign related to their services, or asked them to contact me. They should absolutely not be allowed to just spam-message people's phones like this.

    Dear ****,

    Qualtrics' services are self-service in nature whereby the customer using our services is the organization who determines what data to collect, from whom, and for what purpose. You should reach out to the organization who sent you the *** messages to request that they stop sending you communications. 

    If you require assistance from Qualtrics to identify the organization, please let us know. 

    Kind regards,

    Rachael

    We agreed to use their services. We paud over $25,0000 in implementation costs and $8000 in annual fees. Due to a variety of reasons we NEVER EVEN USED THEIR SOFTWARE. Despite paying them $33000, they are trying to collect on next year's fees.

    Complaint: ********



    I am rejecting this response because: Their response was just wanting me to prove my claim. The last person I spoke to was given the name of the person who originated the last email. When I proceeded to included that email the contents had been erased. I want to be assured this will never happen again and my name, email address and any other information they may have collected be erased from their database immediately. If I receive another "renewal notice" I will seek monetary compensation for my time and mental anguish this has caused.  

    Sincerely,



    ******* *****

    Hi *******

    Thank you for reaching out. Qualtrics provides a self-service platform whereby customers using the services decide who to contact and for what purposes.

    That being said, we would like to review this further. Can you please provide the survey URLs or forward the email that you received? 

    Kind regards,

    Rachael

    Hi *******

    Do you have the URL for the survey? The attachment is only showing me the From and To details.

    If you are not familiar with the sender or have no information about the payment request, we recommend not responding and ignoring the request for payment. 

    Kind regards,

    Recieved an Email stating I had purchased Norton Antivirus. I have never even heard of this company. Nor have I ever purchased from them. I believe this is a scam, and the company is fake.

    Dear *****

    Can you please a copy of the survey or the *** that you received please? 

    Qualtrics provides a self-service platform whereby customers who have a license to use the services are responsible for distributions. However, we can take a look at the survey if you believe it is fraudulent. 

    Kind regards,

    I am rejecting this response because: I am providing the names of the individuals I spoke with.  Note that the longer thread provided evidence of the background of the request.  Please pass along the attachment I provided above.



    Sincerely,



    **** **********n, I had to reachout to the PM two days after he said he would contact me to discuss.

    The PM asked me to make substantial changes to the survey which was not feasible from a dissertation process perspective. When I mentioned the issues with the responses, an Account Executive chimed for the first time and told me "we are relying on your screening questions to hone in and find the respondents that we want". Note: That's what I thought (and was told) I was paying Qualtrics for!!!. I asked the Account Executive for a call, he disregarded my request, and he doubled down pointing to my survey as the issue.

    At that point (23 days in), it was clear that this "Account Executive" had not read the survey (to which he said "it wasn't his job"). I sent a strongly worded statement letting him know that I looking at alternatives, to which he responded with one of the most unprofessional emails I have seen in a long time. I have requested a refund of the $1440 and have received no response.

    I am rejecting this response because:  The business involved in the complaint needs additional time to investigate the complaint.  I will await the ultimate response, but understanding that I have limited time to respond to their request, I am submitting a rejection to keep this complaint open.

    Hi ****

    I understand that you are seeking a refund, but my understanding is that we have not received payment for this license. Can you confirm whether you have paid for this license, and if so, on which date you made payment and via which payment method? 

    Kind regards,

    Rachael

    Complaint: ********


    I have attached the receipt for payment made on August 28th.  I was required to secure this account prior to receiving an SOW for the XM service.  While I did not pay for the XM service as it did not deliver what was sold, I did pay for the upgraded regular account as the XM staff would not create an SOW until I did (see email from Lanie on August 21st in the attached as well as the attached receipt).

    Sincerely,
