I had trouble interfacing with my banks (it was slow when it worked at all) and then couldn't delete those accounts that wouldn't work properly. Although a great concept, the execution is very shoddy. But I am writing this review because the cancellation process is abominable. I cancelled (after having to dig around to find that you must cancel via a chat session) and then found a couple of days later that I'd been charged again. I guess I decided to cancel right at the time I was being charged for three more months. The chat person told me to send an email, as has been mentioned by another poster here. I told that individual that I would not send an email, that instead I would dispute with my credit card company, and until I found out it was resolved in my favor, that I would post as many comments about their service as possible. So here I am. Good luck with your budgeting and stay away from companies like this. I decided to stop using mvelopes because it was too slow and buggy.

In order to use the free trial you must sign uo using a credit card - which I did. I decided during the trial that the system was not for me, based on the multiple duplicates the system pushed out. Anyhow, I tried to call and cancel. However, YOU CANNOT CALL THEM! When you do you are given a prerecorded message to go online. I did and I did an online chat with a rep and got a confirmation #. However I noticed my credit card was charged. I again did an online chat (this time the person was playing games with me). She eventually gave me a second confirmation #. Still on my credit card. I sent an email to dispute resolution and was told that it takes 4-6 weeks to get a refund. In the meantime I had to either pay my credit card with this charge one it or get a finance charge.

We are both independent contractors, and therefore have irregular earnings. any other ideas? My husband just signed us up for the Mvelopes 30 day trial. Any info/advise would be helpful. thanks Since this post was from a while ago, I was wondering if you had any experience with any other budgeting software?

I'm still trying to find a budget program that works for us. Since our income varies from month to month, Mvelopes will probably not work for us. Thanks for the reviews.
