Refund payments

1.0
I spoke with a representative at Thumbtack. It was a very disheartening event. She stated that, According to policy, we have to charge for the lead, and once you pay for the lead you can view it. Also, we don't give refunds if the patrons doesn't choose your company. Besides, I found their policies only favor the company (Thumbtack) because you have to keep a method of payment on fill and select a weekly limit to spend on leads you may or may not use. The company is a scam and rip off. I will never use them again.

User's recommendation: Run.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We want to clear up a few concerns you mentioned about refunds, as we do issue refunds if a customer is unresponsive, and for several other reasons, you can learn more about our Refund Policy here: https://help.thumbtack.com/article/refund-policy.

Thumbtack Is A Ripoff!

1.0
They charge you for leads before you even look at them, most of the leads are not verified before hand, and will not refund them no matter what. Theyve drained my account for hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. Ive tried contacting Thumbtack, but of course you can never speak to someone and nor do you get any type of help or response via their text messaging system. Enough is enough!

User's recommendation: Do Not Use Thumbtack!

No customer service

Thumbtack - No customer service
Its been days since my account has been put on hold. It says I violated user guidelines but the link doesnt provide any help or info as to why. I immediately sent a message and no response. I sent several messages texts, emails and no help. Customer service number has no one helping just links you up to text them but they DONT text back!!! I have been paying hundreds of dollars a week for leads and now not able to contact any customers. Considering how much money I have spent with this company you would think I could be provided with some basic customer service!

User's recommendation: Great concept but expensive and no customer service.

Thumbtack - Allowed a provider to take advantage of me
Had a dispute with a provider. At first Thumbtack's " Trust and Safety" Team appeared to show an interest in helping me resolve the dispute but it was all smoke and mirrors. At the end of the day they absolve themselves of all responsibility. I paid a company $600 they would not refund for reasons already complained anout to Thumbtack. They will side with their providers. I had to hire a lawyer

User's recommendation: Do not use Thumbtack.

This company has a license to steal and nobody can do anything about it I keep getting what seems to me to be fake leads they will charge me for a lead that will not reply, and it won't even get looked at because you can tell when the customer looks at your lead these dont even get looked at, and I still got a pay for them, I'm almost sure that these are fake leads just for them to make money

User's recommendation: I do not recommend Thumbtack to any professional unless you want to give money away.

They auto charge me to get contacted by a customer, even if the customer then decides to Ghost you before you even respond. Then, when you try to call their business Numbers, all of them are automated to refer you to their text help line. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with.
