    On July 2, 2021, I purchased a camera lens at******* using my Flexiti card. At the time I was told that the promotion was for six months, no interest, no payments. Please see that attached invoice from******* and my notation on the invoice as to the due date as per the information I was given by the *****'s sales rep. Please see the email correspondence from******* affirming my position of what I was told in the store, Obviously, an error was made at the store. Following the correspondence from*******, Flexiti has agreed to waive the interest on the purchase from******* in acknowledgement of the error. Flexiti insists on charging me interest, however, on a purchase I made from *******. On December 17, 2020, I purchased a computer at *******. That promotion was one year no payments no interest. The purchase was paid in full by the due date. I made a payment of $2,275.00 on December 16, 2021 Felxiti claims I owe this interest because I "broke" the promotion on my *****'s purchase (which they claim was for three months not six) and this triggered the penalty interest on the ******* purchase. Clearly, I paid all the money owed on the *****(s purchase prior to the due date based upon the information I was given by the staff at *****'s at the time of the purchase. This error has been acknowledged by the merchant and Felxiti. The interest charges on the ******* purchase must therefore also be reversed not just the interest on the *****'s purchase. The error, not made by me, and acknowledged by the merchant, should not trigger penalties on other unrelated purchases that were paid on time. Based upon my calculations I am owed a credit of $178.06 for over payments.

    I have been calling flexiti since end of January, my promotion expired February 4th and was trying to apply for covid relief benefits. On multiple occasions I applied for this benefit and was told for months someone would call or email, noone would. So I would phone back again. And get told the same thing again. I was told by an agent May 5th I would receive the total amount of interest back on my next bill. It never happened and current agent is calling me a ****, ****************************************.

    I applied with flexiti through *****'s to get a camera, did a two year payment plan. however, I have not been able to make an account on their website and have a new number that isn't associated with the account. my two years are over, I've tried calling to close my account but couldn't hear over a dog barking so I emailed. someone contacted me by email saying they would close my account and that I would be sent the money I over paid which was about 183, I sent them my information to direct deposit it. I'm still getting statements and haven't gotten my money back, it's been over a month at least. I asked them to confirm my account is closed and to confirm I'm getting my money back. there has been no further contact, I just want my account closed and my money back
