Exploitative practices and no goodwill

I discovered that Xneelo had been charging my elderly mother over R100 per month for years for a hosting account she did not need. All she had was email forwarding for her domain, yet they told her she required full hosting.

When I finally moved everything away, they called to ask why we cancelled. I explained the situation, and the representative sounded empathetic until I asked whether they would consider refunding even a couple of months as a gesture of good faith. At that point, the empathy stopped, and the answer was a flat refusal based on "services" rendered.

This was not just a matter of a few rands. It was years of unnecessary billing from a company that should have known better. I was ready to leave it alone, but since they called me to "follow up," it’s only fair to share my experience.

If you value honest advice, transparency, and a company that treats its customers fairly, I would look elsewhere.

Reviewer Update
UPDATE: The CS team at xneelo has since followed up to make things right. They have committed to look at how things are communicated to the elderly to ensure that this is not something that happens again. They also in good faith will refund a modest amount of what my mother was charged which was not the point of this review, but it shows them taking ownership, which is all I wanted. Thank you.
