Employer.com Charged $7,000 Illegally After We Closed Our Account
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience with Employer.com demands a warning. First, being in business for over 30 years, i know the difference between a real review and someone who feels they are entitled, I will tell you, this is factual and have nothing to gain by wasting my time writing this!
On December 27, 2024—two days after Christmas—Bench.co, a Canadian cloud based accounting company shut down abruptly with no notice, screwing thousands of customers and employees. The company went bankrupt due to poor management after their board ousted their CEO in 2021, which came to light after their shut down. Having used them since 2021 with no complaints, then throughout 2024, their services were a complete disaster—horrible is an understatement but they were paid in full and we had to make it work. They were hemorrhaging employees who had no clue how to use their software and zero experience handling company books, leaving us with a mess. Employer.com swooped in to acquire the wreckage and refused to honor our paid-in-full contract with Bench. We regained access in January 2025, downloaded the chaos they left behind, closed our account, and repeatedly told them we would not be using their services. Then, out of nowhere in February 2025, they charged our Capital One card (by the way, Capital One was no help) $7,000—over double what we paid Bench the prior year—for a renewal we never agreed to.
When we called Employer.com to demand a refund, their customer service reps were rude and utterly unhelpful, treating us as if we were at fault. No, you’re the ones who messed up by taking over a bankrupt failure and slamming credit cards with outrageous, unauthorized charges! They brushed us off, and Capital One ruled in their favor, claiming Employer admitted the mistake and promised a refund. It’s now been 10 days since they claimed they’d refund us, and still nothing—leaving me with a 25-point credit score drop and a card over the limit. Employer.com’s behavior, stacked on top of Bench’s year of gross incompetence and mismanagement, is unforgivable. Stay far away from Employer.com and Bench.co—both will leave you burned.
