The reason they freak out once the word "chargeback" appears in a email, is because it HURTS their ratings with their processing company. Too many of those, and they're in deep poo poo, unable to process orders (especially credit cards).

Exactly, which is why it should be constantly threatened at every opportunity, especially if they are stonewalling you for months which is unacceptable. I know third party Chinese monitor sellers that respond faster than CIG does to refund/replacement requests. To take weeks or months is disgusting to me.

CIG issuing refunds sounds like a sleezy reverse collections agency

"Well see sir your bill is $500, and you're 6 months overdue, but out of the kindness of our hearts we can offer to cut that amount in half... if you pay us in the next 24 hours"

did they really give that as their reason? I'm with Dapper Dan. Skip the foreplay and say you plan on getting a chargeback.

If RSI's finances are in as dire shape as Derek Smart says they are imagine what a loss of 200k in one day must mean.

I'm giving them one week from first contact before I throw down the chargeback threat. Seems generous, I doubt they'll even respond by then.

Bootcha is an actual investor, as in he gave them seed money way back before they were making millions a month

So you can tell how bad the state is when even he is asking for his money back

Dapper Dan posted:

Also for those worried, by law a chargeback affects neither you as a consumer or your credit. It won't go on your permanent record or some poo poo, it is an indication that the party you are initiating a chargeback against has operated in bad faith and this is your only recourse as a consumer to recover your money.

Also, don't worry about time limits. Typically you will have to explain the situation (if you are too embarrassed to say video game, just call it a crowd funded project) and I sure they will understand. This sort of situation is why chargebacks exist in the first place.

For anyone still waiting on refunds, just do a chargeback. CIG used your money, missed every deadline and has delivered nothing but broke, useless poo poo. They owe you, not the other way around.

If they were too stupid to use your money wisely, too loving bad. Or if you have some sympathy for this shitheap of a company, your response should be: 'That is not my problem, that is yours. The due date of the product has come and gone and there is no end in sight. Responses to my inquiries have taken weeks, which is unacceptable. You no longer have my trust as a consumer or a backer that you can keep any promises related to this project or even deliver it in any way previously advertised. You have 24 hours from the time of this email to deliver to my account nothing less than a full refund for any donation (don't refer to it as a ship or product because it loving isn't). If you do not, I will pursue a chargeback as is my right as a consumer.'

They are relying and betting on your passivity to avoid having to give back any money. They know that a chargeback will likely involve a phone call (or several) and that you won't do it. gently caress that. They have belittled you and disrespected you all while taking your money.

This should be at the top of every page of this thread.

It feels so good to be so bad.....at posting.

On top of what Dapper Dan has said, a chargeback at this stage is likely going to be faster and less effort than engaging CIG customer support. Don't let CIG waste your time anymore than you have to.
