Websites That Gave Me A Hassle
During my digital cleanse, which took quite a while, Some websites were... less than helpful when it came either to choosing to delete my account or just change the associated email on them. So here are some of the more annoying ones and my experiences, because people should know how they work. Note some of these I had a while ago and just no longer used, I wasn't currently active on the sites.
1. swap.com - cannot change the email on the account, so I deleted it.
2. wigs.com - refused to change my email or delete the account, so I changed the info to a bullshit address.
3. Razer, as in my nice headset for my computer - sad because they're quality products, but I deleted them because they refused to accept a secure protonmail email address. Fuck them.
4. squareup - refused to delete or even deactivate my account, so I changed the email to some bullshit.
5. Sonic, the drive-in fast food place - says you can't change the email on an account, the contact us page doesn't work and there's no other way to contact them anywhere. abandoned.
6. babbel.com - deleted account because no way to change the email.
7. tandem.net - login didn't work, contact us link just goes to a forum you can't use unless you log in, no other way to contact them. abandoned.
8. eyemart express (glasses and eye exams) - do not allow email changes, had to delete account.
9. 24petwatch.com (pet insurance) - I could not delete my account for a cat I used to have until I bought a new membership (??) to the site, so I still have to call their toll free number and get him marked as deceased. FFS.
There is no excuse for this level of incompetence and complexity. Even though the glasses site has to by law keep records because exams are healthcare, there is no reason any of these should refuse to allow me to change my email. poor customer service will lose my business every time.
