cannot get a refund for my membership support not available

[#1]

i've signed up for the plus membership to get "connects" and apply for jobs. i couldn't use any connects. so i want to cancel the membership and get a refund since i couldn't use it. i cannot contact support whatsoever. no live chat person. no alternate contacts. can't open a ticket. nothing. even the headquarters phone number is an automated recording. very disappointing for being a one time customer. I NEED A REFUND!

Andrea, the issue still persists and it's been already three days. Nobody reached me about the problem and I do not see any progress about it.

Hello, I have problems when try to apply. Can you check and solve my issue, please. Thank you. I explained well the problem in my message 2 days ago.

Hello, I paid for plus plan, got 92 connects according to the plan. However, when I try to send a proposal it says "buy connects to apply". The proposal requires 15 connects only. Solve this, please. Thank you in advance. 
P. S. I cannot buy any connects because you didn't share the promo code with me

Hi,

I want to request a refund on my Agency Plus membership fee. I have asked the support bot but the steps it is providing is not helpful. It suggested that I degrade my account which I did but it doesnt show me how I can get my refund. I would appreciate some urgent help on this

[#10]

Hello, I'm unable to submit proposals to jobs. I have purchase 150 connects and every time I go to submit proposal it keeps showing me to buy connects, but I already have 150. Can someone please help.

Hi Abdul,

I am sorry to hear about the trouble submitting proposals. I checked and it looks like your proposal is assigned as an Exclusive agency member to an agency. As an exclusive member of the agency, you can only use your agency membership plan. Exclusive agency members can only work on contracts under their agency. For more information please check out this help article.

Hi Pradeep,

Thank you for getting back to me regarding this. Can I know roughly how long an agent takes to get back to me with a support ticket because when I accessed my support tickets now it shows that its empty. 

Appreciate your assistance on this.

Hi,

I haven't had an update on the issue I have mentioned above. Although, I have been told a ticket has been raised I have no display of any tickets in the system (as per the attached). Appreciate if you can provide me an update regarding this ASAP.
