California Attorney General

This is the story I sent and they decided to ignore

Dear Attorney General,

I am writing to request an investigation into the alleged deceptive and fraudulent billing practices of Domestika Inc., a Berkeley, California-based online learning platform, and to evaluate the potential for enforcement action to address widespread consumer harm. As a resident of the Dominican Republic, I am among thousands of consumers globally, including in the United States, who have been impacted by these practices.

On March 29, 2025, I purchased a course from Domestika for $0.99 USD, expecting a one-time payment.

Without clear consent or transparent disclosure, I was subsequently charged $299 USD for an annual Domestika Plus subscription.

Despite multiple attempts to contact Domestikas customer support, I received no response or was denied a refund, citing their Terms of Use. I believe these practicesmisleading advertising, unauthorized charges, and non-responsive customer servicemay constitute consumer fraud and unfair business practices.

Further research revealed widespread complaints against Domestika, including a Change.org petition with over 12,000 signatures, more than 6,600 Trustpilot reviews averaging 1.7 stars, and an F rating on bbb.org. These sources indicate a pattern of deceptive practices affecting thousands of consumers worldwide, including inadequate disclosure of automatic renewals and refusal to process refund requests.

These practices may violate Californias consumer protection laws, such as Business and Professions Code § 17500 (false or misleading advertising) or the Unfair Competition Law (Business and Professions Code § 17200).

Additionally, Domestikas arbitration clause, which may limit consumers rights to pursue collective remedies, warrants scrutiny for enforceability.

I respectfully urge your office to investigate Domestikas practices, focusing on:

- Unauthorized subscription charges and lack of transparency in Domestikas billing process.

- Potential violations of consumer protection laws, such as Californias Unfair Competition Law or similar statutes.

- The enforceability of Domestikas arbitration clause, which may limit class action rights.

- Avoiding refunds requests from unsatisfied customers.

As an affected consumer, I can provide screenshots, emails, and bank statements to support my claims and can connect your office with others impacted. I urge your office to take action to hold Domestika accountable, ensure refunds for affected consumers, and prevent further harm.

I am available to provide additional information or documentation and can be reached at my mobile or email below.

Its very difficult when it takes weeks to get assigned a case worker just to find out by hear say he was let go 2weeks later. Then another 3eeeks to be assigned another. And our weekly meetings were rescheduled by the case worker twice, out sick , and after we did meet to discuse what i need to move foward was never done.

And this is how its gone sense. I have repeatedly asked for a voucher to get my birth certificate among other important issues. Nothing has been done by the case manager to this day. Now I've been givien til june 1 2025 to leave with no where to go and o help in placing me.

Dear Attorney General Bonta,

My aunt, Mollie Juanita Roberts, passed away on July 7, 2024, at her residence, The Carlotta Ivy Signature, 41505 Carlotta Drive, Apt 256, Palm Desert, CA 92211. I, Bonita J. Leavell, am her niece and trustee of her estate.

My cousin and I thoroughly cleaned and moved out of the complex on August 2, 2024. I have since returned to Michigan. The building manager, Frances, had all of the documentation I am sending to you and more. Dwan Finney, my aunt's nephew, spoke to Frances, as did I, about the return of the deposit for the complex. She (Frances) told him she was not going to return the deposit to the estate or to me until she rented out the apartment my aunt had occupied.

I call The Carlotta every day to ascertain how much money and when it will be returned to me or the estate. Neither Frances nor The Carlotta will return my calls to discuss this matter.

Please help me to obtain all the money from my aunt's stay at The Carlotta.

Sincerely,

Bonita J. Leavell

Hello, I am owner of Legacy Continental Transportation and financed couple of truck tractors with them. Everything was good with Truck 1 but Paccar created 2 accounts for the same VIN of Truck 2.

In June 2024, I got a call from Paccar that the payments are missing for Truck 2. When I confirmed with them by giving the VIN Number, they admitted to accidentally creating 2 accounts for Truck 2. My payments were up to date on Truck 1 till now. Truck 1 was auto pay but they didnt deducted the payment for July.

My last payment went through successfully for Truck 2 in April. In May they take out 3 payments from my account and somehow all 3 got returned(2 due to low funds as I wasnt expecting 3 payments and 1 payment got returned for unknown reasons to me). When I called on July 9th for the June payment, they admitted the IT department havent fixed the duplicate account issue and refused to take the payment until issue is resaolved to avoid confusion I guess. I spoke to them again on 12th July and no one told me about missing payments or accepted new payments.

Then they repossessed without any notice of late payment, the Truck 2 on July 19th and Truck 1 on July 23rd. They also gave us the late payment amount of close to $15000 on July 23rd and when I tried to make payment on July 24th, Paccar told me now I have make full payment of trucks to get them out of Repo.

Dear california attorney representative

I am writing this to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the unjust suspension of my Facebook account, Despite multiple attempts to appeal this suspension, I have not received any response from their team, which is highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

I have been an active and loyal user of Facebook since 2007, and my account holds numerous cherished memories, valuable connections, and irreplaceable photos. The abrupt suspension of my account has caused significant distress and inconvenience, not to mention the potential loss of access to a decade's worth of personal and professional interactions.

I firmly believe that the suspension of my account, without any prior warning or valid justification, is a clear violation of my rights as a user.

I have always adhered to Facebook's terms of service and community guidelines, and I am unaware of any action on my part that would warrant such severe consequences. Therefore, I kindly request an immediate reinstatement of my account and a thorough explanation for the suspension.

Moreover, the lack of response to my appeals further adds to the frustration and sense of injustice. As a user, I have the right to be heard and provided with a fair opportunity to address any concerns or issues that may have led to the suspension. It is crucial for Facebook, as a reputed social media platform, to prioritize its users and ensure transparency in its decision-making processes.

If my account is not reinstated promptly, and if I do not receive a satisfactory response to this email within a reasonable timeframe, I will be left with no choice but to explore legal avenues to protect my rights.

I am prepared to take legal action to seek compensation for the damage caused, including emotional distress and loss of access to personal data.

I sincerely hope that this matter can be resolved amicably and promptly. Facebook has been an integral part of my life for many years, and I believe in its potential to connect people across the globe.

However, the current situation has severely undermined my trust in the platform and its customer service.

I request your immediate attention to this matter and urge you to take the necessary steps to reinstate my account and address the concerns raised. I hope for a swift resolution that will restore my faith in Facebook's commitment to its users.

Thank you for your prompt action.

Yours sincerely,

Hala faraj
