FTC Settlement and Care.com Cancellation Complaints
In 2024, the Federal Trade Commission took action against Care.com over allegations involving job listings, earnings claims, and cancellation practices. In 2025, the FTC announced that it was sending refunds to affected consumers.
This does not mean every current Care.com billing issue will qualify for a refund. It does show why customers should keep careful records of:
- Subscription start dates
- Renewal dates
- Cancellation attempts
- Cancellation confirmations
- Support messages
- Billing screenshots
- App-store subscription records
- Payment-card records
If you believe a Care.com billing issue is unresolved after contacting support, consider contacting the payment provider or an appropriate consumer-protection agency.
How To Escalate an Unresolved Care.com Complaint
- Identify the account type. Family, caregiver, HomePay, Care for Business, app-store, and safety concerns may use different support routes.
- Use the Care.com Help Center first. Sign in and use the support options shown for your account and issue.
- Document the problem. Save receipts, renewal dates, cancellation confirmations, screenshots, message history, job posts, support replies, and case numbers.
- State the resolution requested. Ask for cancellation confirmation, billing review, refund review, account reopening, profile review, safety review, or written explanation.
- Use the 24/7 Safety Hotline for safety concerns. Call 737-703-3620 when the issue involves safety.
- Check app-store billing if applicable. Apple or Google may control cancellation or refund routing for subscriptions purchased through the app.
- Escalate billing issues in writing. Written support records are useful if a renewal, cancellation, or refund dispute remains unresolved.
- Use an outside resource when needed. Depending on the issue, this may include the payment-card issuer, Apple, Google, FTC, state attorney general, consumer-protection office, or law enforcement for safety or fraud matters.
