Home Services Lead Marketplace Continues Billing for Leads After Account Cancellation
A contractor reports being charged for leads generated after they had already canceled their account with a home-services lead marketplace, with repeated refusals to refund despite multiple contacts. This reflects a recurring dispute pattern where billing for leads doesn't reliably stop at the moment of cancellation, leaving customers without a way to enforce the cutoff.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyPaid lead gen platforms refuse refunds for zero-result leads
Small contractors pay hundreds to thousands per month for leads from platforms like Angi, but receive no refunds when leads are invalid, unreachable, or yield zero jobs. The platform no-refund policy creates a one-sided financial relationship that disproportionately harms micro-businesses. There is no accountability mechanism for lead quality, making it impossible for contractors to mitigate losses.
Lead-Gen Platform Charges a Large Cancellation Fee After Denying Prior Cancellation Requests
A subscriber to a contractor lead-generation platform reports minimal lead volume, then being charged for an additional month after the platform denied ever receiving a cancellation request, followed by a large fee just to cancel. This points to a structural pattern of high exit costs and disputed cancellation records.
Paid B2B lead platforms charge for contacts that never respond
Small service businesses paying $1,000–2,000+/month for leads from marketplaces like Angi consistently receive phone numbers where prospects never answer, yielding zero conversion. Despite clear non-performance, the platform charges per lead and refuses to credit failures. Businesses have no mechanism to dispute or reject low-quality leads before being billed.
Angi service-pro leads are recycled and prospects rarely answer
Service pros paying high subscriptions to Angi say leads are recycled across competitors, contact numbers are wrong, and most prospects never pick up. Customer service offers no remediation.
Home Services Marketplace Locks Businesses into 12-Month Contracts with No Lead Refunds
A business describes being locked into a 12-month Angi contract while receiving largely unresponsive leads -- roughly 90% never answer the phone -- and the customers who do respond frequently expect free work. Angi provides no lead-refund system, leaving businesses unable to recoup wasted spend.
