When I signed up for Social Security I was misled about my wife's income which led to us owing money. I needed a straight forward answer to my question and I was able to get it from JustAnswer. Thank you for your help.

Had trouble getting a new router to link to my "older" HP Printers - I signed on for $5 advice - but then agreed to $39 fee to have tech "take control" of my computer to work through solution - He advised me on decisions - which options would work best for me - eventually downloaded new software, and got everything synced up again - which I would have never been able to do on my own - so I think it was worth the cost

SS & Medicare are confusing at best especially if you continue to be employed. Got clarity for a situation that I will be facing although they did not mention the complication caused by a Health Savings Account.

I've come here twice for mechanical and veterinary help. Both times I signed off happy and in possession of valuable information. On a fixed income the price is great too. I'm glad that there are proffessionals out there that are willing to offer their expertise without plucking you like a chicken. If you're stuck on something, this is the place to go.

Rosie chewed on a tube of Gold Bond Itch Cream. Of course, I panicked. I have had this kitty since she was a tiny baby so I was sort of freaking out. But the Just Answer vet calmed my nerves. My Rosie is just fine! Thank you! I think the vet was Dr. Rebecca.

Finding Files
August 2, 2017

First I was lost. You should ask why? Since my knowledge and the technician knowledge is a big difference. Solution = it is not easy but he should find where is his/hers customer. I was lucky having as much of technology knowledge. He said "I already solved the problem. Except I did not know (he left a result file) on my DeskTop. He did not tell me but later I have found it on my desktop. Please next time please specify where are the result or results?!?!

Hello Mike,

Thank you for getting in touch with us about this. It can be hard sometimes for the experts to know what level of knowledge the customer has about their problem without a little bit of conversation.

We're glad that you were able to resolve the issue with the Expert but if you ever need help in the future please reach out to Customer Support and we'd be happy to work to moderate the communication so that everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Sincerely,

Adam Roesel - Customer Support Supeervisor

I am an antiques and collectibles dealer. I sell a very wide array of different types of items and occassionally i need help with an item, either help authenticating an item and or appraising an item. It is so valuable to me to be able to send in photos and a description and have an expert provide me with detailed information on the item and a current market value. Ive used this service 10 or more times and ive also used the legal section as well, the service, speed, and information is always top notch. So, overall Justanswer is a very valuable and dependable service that is affordable.

Read the small print
August 1, 2017

I signed on and made the misyake of giving them my credit card information. The charge was supposed to be for $5, instead they charged me 22.00 and gave me the same information I would have gotten if it had been Monday and I could have spoken to my vet. Nothing was solved. It is my fault for not reading the information that tells you if you get an answer from a vet you are charged 22.00
What is the $5.00 charge for?

Hello Arlene,

I'm sorry for the confusion about the good faith deposit. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms. It sounds like a Vet responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due. I hope this clears up the confusion about your charges but please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be further assistance.

The idea behind the website is to provide a convenient source for access to professionals in cases like the one you described where the Vet isn't open on the weekend, if you need a quick response for peace of mind about an issue, we try to connect customers with professionals in these fields that are available so that we can save you some worry and hassle. It does seem though, in this case, that the billing confusion may have caused more frustration than we were able to prevent.

We'll reach out to you privately to gather some account information so that we can make sure that your issue is resolved and that the refund has been processed if needed.

In the mean time, you can reach out to our Customer Care team directly if you prefer and you should receive a reply back within 4 hours. The email and phone numbers for Customer Care are available on the Help Page at http://ww2.justanswer.com/help

Let us know if you need any further help with your account.

I had questions about starting a certain type of business. So I paid to get an answer from Just Answer. A lawyer, Roy Hadavi, said he specialized in the type of business I was forming and could answer my questions. About 20 min later he comes back with answers. Every single answer he gave me was wrong. I actually called State of CA and got the answers before going on the website, I just wanted a lawyer to review the answers for my peace of mind. Mr. Hadavi told me I would not need any of the special licenses and regulations I was inquiring about which were absolutely mandatory for this business. His answers were totally false! When I called him on it, he disappeared and closed the question so I couldn't review him. Thank God I did my research beforehand.

Hello Kay,

We're sorry to hear about the experience that you had with the attorney. I can assure you that the licensing and credentials for all of the Experts on the site are verified prior to their being allowed to reply to any customer, in many cases the details really determine the answer that you receive from any attorney and in this case it sounds like we may have missed the mark.

We'll reach out to you privately here on SiteJabber to gather more information about your account and experience and do what we can to put this right for you.

If you'd prefer, you can also reach out to our Customer Care team through the help page on our website at http://ww2.justanswer.com/help

Please let me know if I can be of any help at all.

Sincerely,
Adam Roesel - Customer Support Supervisor

My friend recommended Just Answer when I told her about a call I got from a debt collector. I was unsure how to proceed with them. I had a few ideas after they offered to close my account if I paid them a certain percentage of what I owed. Nice deal but before I agreed I sought legal advice. In this case, it was recommended that I make sure that in addition to closing the account I should ask them to make sure, for my credit record, that it show that it was paid in full, versus (closed as a bad debt). The later would have negative impact on my credit rating for a pretty long time. It was good advice.

Truck problem solved
August 1, 2017

I had several people telling me what to do. All out in left field. Went to Just Answers and got two answers quickly. Checked a few things and narrowed it down to a fuel pump problem. Ordered a fuel pump and swapped it out. Truck is back up and running great! Thanks Team Just Answers!

Both of my turn signals went on Friday while driving in traffic only to turn back on later Friday night. Same thing on Saturday. I didn't want to deal with a mechanic for what seemed to be a minor issue.

Via Google I learned it MAY be my turn signal, hazard lights relay. So I crossed my fingers and bought one. However, I couldn't reach deep inside the passenger side dashboard to remove, replace it.

Thank heavens I found Just Answer. The mechanic told me what to do and within a short time, the new relay was in place and working. So far, the problem has been fixed, time will tell.

I'll certainly use this service again and will recommend it to others.

I would have given it 5 stars but the site does not clearly communicate some info to customers. Case in point, I must register to post my review. Hey, tell me this first not after I hit the "Submit your review" button.

And when I was prompted to pay the initial $5 to use their service, the PayPal page I was sent to DID NOT tell me they were going to pull the entire fee of $5 plus the $28 for the mechanic's time. The phone support team explained it was posted when making a credit card payment but that doesn't help PayPal users. Customers don't like surprises.

However, this is fixable and does not reflect on the service I received from the mechanic.
