How do I get a reefund - Acronis does not work
1. I had Acronis True Image 2010 + the Pack for several years and it worked well. My environment is Windows 7, 64 bit o/s, 8 GB RAM, the START SAVE was scheduled to start at 3:00 am to an external hard drive.
2. Yesterday I upgraded to the 2016 version.
3. The insall seemed to succeed, but the either the program ABENDS after a couple of minutes or it dies immediately after being started.
4. There is no phone tech support. Chat is not working because I have no error code, the chat screen will not connect. The phone number 1-781-782-9000 will not allow me to connect to a sales rep.
5. So I'm done. Apparently Acronis the company will NOT give me the courtesy of allowing me to so much as CHAT with them, there is nothing relevant in the FAQs, I don't have the time to wait for email "support" - always a joke, and I'm fed up.
6. How do I get a refund?

Does anyone know how to get a refund from Acronis?
Heck, does anyone know how to CONTACT anyone in Acronis?

Thomasjk -
Thank you for the information. I've completed the Cleverbridge online form and have received and ACK for that submission.
You know, if there had been some way to get some support for Acronis, I would have pursued making it work. But if there's NO way to get support for a home customer, then I'll be damned if I'm going to spend any more of my money with them.
Thanks Again,
Olan

Just heard back from Cleverbridge, and it seems that i have to try to communicate with Acronis directly.
*Sigh*
I'll try. Again.
Oh, by the way....check this thread. A guaranteed Catch-22 designed to keep customers from ever contacting Acronis AND from ever getting a refund. But I'll try....
On the Acronis Refund Policy webpage:
21242: Refund Policy for Home and Home Office Products

OK, I sent the request to Cleverbridge. Here's their response:

Dear Ekaterina -
Windows 7, 64 bit o/s. Original version was True Image 2010 + Pack. Purchased the upgrade for True Image 2016. Installed the new code. The insall seemed to succeed, but the either the program ABENDS after a couple of minutes or it dies immediately after being started. I tried reinstalling. Clearing. Rebooting. Mix and repeat - with zero luck.
I've now uninstalled 2016 and gone back to my 2010, which works.
I am willing to give this one more try. Email me directly for my phone number. I am in the USA, central time.
Thank You,

Well, Acronis posted on 15-MAR and offered to help. I replied the same day and have not heard a thing since.
Wonderful.

You we're asked to send Ekaterina a direct PM (private message) - it does not seem like that occured, but intead you posted back to the user forum. Send her a PM and I'm sure it will get sorted out. You probably want to reference this thread in your message to her as well.
