Beware of Bait and switch auto renewal with this company

Long time customer of Nord. Signrd up for auto renewal of my basic service. Just got a bill for 179.00 US for a year of service. Somehow they decided on their own to jack up my account to some premium service I did not want or need. For all my other auto renewals I get notified of pending renewal Before my card gets charged. Not so in this case. Customer service is totally a joke with this company. Cannot call and talk to anyone and the Chat bot told me that I couldn't change my service until the service that they renewed expires in a year.

7/26/26 update. Nord reached out and refunded me the money they charged my card. Don’t think I would have heard anything except for this review. Thank you Trustpilot and thanks Nord for making things right.

Fast response!

Fast response!
My Nord VPN app had always logged me in automatically, no typing required. Out of the blue, it started asking me to log in, but would not accept my password. The 'reset password' email did not arrive so I found an email they had recently sent me and sent an email to the address shown on that message. The support team responded to my concern within 24 hours and offered simple but effective advice (such as white listing their email address) which worked a treat! Thanks a lot for your speedy resolution.
Cheers.

Hello. We're truly sorry to hear that the dedicated IP isn't working the way you expected, we completely understand how frustrating it is to still be prompted for verification on your banking and exchange accounts after upgrading specifically to avoid that.
Regarding the "new device" notices, it's worth checking that you are consistently connecting through your dedicated IP server each time before accessing those accounts, as connecting through any other server could still trigger those alerts. If that's already the case and the issue persists, we'd love to look into this more closely.
As for the connection drops, please reach out to our customer support team at support.nordvpn.com, they'll be able to review your setup and help get things stable. Your experience matters to us and we want to make this right. -G.S.

Hello, Colin. We're sorry to hear you've had such a frustrating experience, being locked out of your account is incredibly stressful, and we understand how disappointing it must feel to not have had this resolved to your satisfaction.
We take account security very seriously, and in cases like this, our team does need to gather some additional information to verify ownership of the account before we can move forward. We appreciate your patience. -G.S.

Do not use this company they will scam…

Do not use this company they will scam you!! I signed up for the free trial and then cancelled it, expecting to be refunded into my account however when the money never returned they refused to refund because it had been over 30 days, even though I cancelled well within that timeframe! Scammers out there to steal your money!!

Hello, Emily. We're sorry if things felt confusing. To take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee, you have to reach out to our customer support and request it within those 30 days, as cancelling automatic renewal is not the same as a refund request. Nonetheless, we understand that it can be frustrating, and would like to take a closer look at the situation. Could you update your review to include the ticket ID, or reply to our TrustPilot request? This would help us find the case and investigate it further. -N.F.

Rubbish support

I have lots of problems with Nord. Nord servers seem to get constantly blocked, including my dedicated IP, so they are not a reliable service. It takes days and days to get support because they are very slow to reply and incredibly unhelpful. You just go round and round incircles with them. I think they have no technical knowledge, so don't understand my issue, ask completely irrelevant questions, and it is almost impossible to get escalated to a technical team.

I am a software developer and network administrator. My dedicated IP often has problems connecting to github and SSHing in to servers. When contacting support I always go through all the debugging steps in their help docs and open my ticket with full information and the steps I've taken. They spend 3 days asking me the same questions over and over again and asking me to do the same debugging steps over and over again until I give up and my issue is never solved.
