HorribleNo access to the account. Continues to charge me. Will not refund my money. Says I must’ve canceled my account first.

Musicians Beware!DistroKid will hold your royalties hostage and completely ignore your requests for customer service. Save yourself some headache and use a different distributor. This is a company who only cares about its bottom line, not artists, not music. Dishonest and unethical.
