Cannot access an old dropbox account - still being charged

Hello,

 

I have a paid account through a work email address that no longer exists. It charges my credit card on a monthly basis. I simply want to cancel the account and stop the charges. I am not able to sign in because it prompts me to enter a verification code that is sent to the email address that no longer exists. I am not able to reactivate this email address either to retrieve the password so I am stuck.

 

I am contacting now through another dropbox account with a different email and do not have the upgraded plan. How can I get assistance with deleting this old account and stopping the charges if I cannot gain access to the associated email? Thank you

    Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

    I have an old expired email that I no longer have access to. I believe I am still being charged for that account and not the one I have active, but when I try to login it is sending me a verification code that I cannot get. 

     

    How can I cancel this reccuring payment that I cannot even benefit from. 

     

    Thank you

      Hi chiamami, I'm here to help! 

       

      If you wish, I can send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this charge, and see how we can help on our end. Would that be okay?

       

      Keep me posted!

        Can you please contact me as well? I was the original poster with the same issue.

        I tried logging into the billing page without being signed in as Rich suggested but it is not working. I would like someone from dropbox to contact me please to help me navigate this issue and cancel my old account.

        Thank you
