      This place approved a purchase from Amazon only to lock me out of my account and claim that the email address didnt match. This purchase was made July 27th 2023. I still havent been able to access this account. They have escalated this numerous times and I submitted my ID for verification only for them to tell me they still wont let me access it. They reported to Experian that I was missing payments when I wasnt even able to access the account at all. I called and was told 3 different amounts were due. The associate named ***** found it a good idea to hang up in our face more than once. This place is a complete scam. I finally got them to give me what I think is the right payment amount and paid the account off. The big issue is they reported to Experian that I was late when honestly I didnt even know the amount due without access to the account.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to ***************************** BBB complaint which states her concerns with account access and credit reporting. 

      Affirm's records indicate that loan ONMM-O69A was processed on August 04, 2023 in the amount of $1,309.47 for a purchase with Amazon with a *****% APR to be paid over 24 monthly installments of $70.12. The loan received $350.60 in payments on December 12, 2023 and 1 payment of $1,067.83 on January 22, ****. The loan did not receive the September, October or November payment in a timely manner which resulted in the loan being late and reported as such. 

      Upon reviewing her complaint, Affirm found that ****************** had attempted to update her email on July 27, 2023 but failed due to a technical issue. As a result she did not receive proper notifications. Due to this reason, Affirm has removed reporting associated with loan ONMM-O69A. She should be able to see this update on her end in 3-5 business days. 

      Affirm also reviewed her call with the agent mentioned and found that during the call a third party joined the call. Unfortunately, account details can not be shared with third parties for security purposes. 

      Moving forward, if she is having difficulty submitting payment on the web, she can call Affirm at ************ from 7 AM to 10 PM CST seven days a week and a customer service agent will gladly assist her with different payment methods.

      In the event that she have any further questions or concerns, we encourage her to reach out to Affirm via ****************************************************

      Jan 2, ****. I have been using this company 2 years. I was attempting to buy fuel injectors to repair my car. I am sight impaired I went to Affirm to apply for a loan. The loan wasn't processed right away. I had tried ordering injectors through advance auto online. Each injector 100 plus dollars I needed four. The transaction wouldn't go through. The sight froze. I left took my vehicle to a dealer that day and had it repaired the dealer bought the parts. 2 days Later I look on the Affirm sight and see I am being billed 70 per month for a $429 loan. I contacted Affirm they said they have changed their policy and I was issued a gift card through **************. That gift cards are non refundable. I have no gift card don't use gift cards. Have no use for a $400 gift card from Advance auto. Affirm stated this is something new. You are stuck with this gift card. I have dealt with Affirm for two years never late with a payment never used a gift card third party. This is a ploy being used to ensure they get money in the past if you didn't use all the money from a loan you weren't charged..There was no third party. Affirm stated they have no way to contact this ****************** and no way for me to contact them. They absolve themselves of any responsibility.

      On 12/19/2023 I went to create an Affirm account on their website, when inputting my *** I was informed an account already exists. Thinking I had already created one, I went to verify and update the information on the account. A verification email was sent to an email address that did not belong to me and ended in t*@yahoo.com; along with a phone number that did not belong to me ending in ****. I called the company that day and they opened up a fraud case and told me I will expect someone from the department to contact me with a resolution within 30 days. On 12/21/2023 I called back with more information and they told me theyd escalate the case. After not hearing back for a couple weeks on 01/10/2024 I called back for an update and they told me they had none and that theyd escalate it again and open up another case. I decided that day to file a report with the *** because Affirm refused to allow me to contact their fraud department and would not let me verify any information on the account. I had asked multiple times to verify the last four digits of the *** used and if the account was in delinquency and they would not even put a fraud alert on the account and told me they could do nothing. I went on their website on 1/19/2024 and submitted a fraud investigation request through their chat and attached my Drivers License and copy of the *** Fraud Affidavit. I called on 1/21/2024 to let them know I had submitted that and to ask why I had not had a resolution in the 30 day window and was told that my previous cases could not be found and there was nothing the supervisor could do but escalate my new case opened up on 1/21 and that someone would be in contact within 3-5 business days and a resolution within 30. Supervisor would not give me any information and would not give his name. I locked all three credit bureau reports on 1/22/2023 and Equifax in December with fraud alert attached to all three. Nothing has shown up on my credit report from Affirm at the moment.

      Complaint: 21181380

      I am rejecting this response because: I received an email (attached below) saying that my complaint had been resolved and the account had been locked down and to regain access I needed to call Affirm. I called the company and they said that the case which had been opened and resolved was for a SHOP PAY account which had never before been mentioned to anyone I spoke with. I spoke to a gentleman named ***** who was extremely helpful. He locked down the fraudulent account I had been mentioning from the beginning and has prevented it from being used again until the case is resolved. I had been told for two months this could not be done but he did it for me in five minutes after verifying my identity and seeing that it was indeed fraudulent. He opened up the correct case for me as case number #********. Why did it take this long? I am beyond frustrated with affirm and the people I have been working with up until I spoke to *****. I have been consistently lied to and no one has gotten anything done correctly despite NUMEROUS phone calls. From getting my previous cases deleted from the system as if they never existed to only just now verifying that the fraud account was created with my SSN, I am tired. If this issue is not resolved quickly I will be taking the next step with my local police department and the Attorney General. 

      Sincerely,

      *************************

      Affirm enabled me to get scammed out of $450 from a fraud store and refused to give me my money back. I bought a mobility scooter from a store called Upright Cane, and despite ordering a mobility scooter and receiving a cane, the scam store claimed the cane I received was not damaged so I don't get my money back, despite receiving the wrong product. The scam store said to send it back, despite the fact they have no address, their phone number is fake and they don't respond to emails. Affirm accepted this as their return policy, left it up to the seller, and closed my dispute and sends me texts and emails every day demanding payment for something I never received. NEVER use Affirm for anything. There is literally no way to get your money back and Affirm says too bad it doesn't matter that you got scammed, pay us anyways. Instead of cutting ties after 200+ complaints by people ordering scooters and receiving canes, Affirm still worked with them and continued to enable Upright Cane to scam disabled people out of hundreds of dollars. Affirm closed my dispute and basically said too bad pay us. I want Affirm to cancel the payments and amount "owed" for something I never received and never will receive.

      I use Affirm for merchandise I purchased on the Amazon Website but I cancelled the transaction with Amazon before the item shipped so therefore I did not receive the merchandise. I'm at my **** end, I have repeatedly provided the documentation showing the cancellation but some how Affirm has mixed up order # and refuses to research the issue with Amazon. I shouldn't have to pay for something I didn't receive, I have had to dispute this with bank because Affirm keeps saying they never received a refund from Amazon. I advise anyone to not do business with a shady company who is money grabbing and doesn't care about taking money from consumers that no merchandise has been provided to them. They are basically stealing money!

      ************** contacted Affirm on October 20, 2023 to report that she was expecting a refund towards her loan as the associated order was canceled by Amazon. The responding Affirm agent encouraged ************** to provide evidence of her expected refund for Affirm to investigate further. On November 2, 2023, ************** provided a screenshot showing that her Amazon order #***-1417458-1000252 was canceled. ************** was advised on November 17, 2023 and November 20, 2023 that her Amazon loan ID ********* was associated with Amazon Order IDs 114-1242921-3080269 and 114-2363891-1069041. There is no record of an Affirm loan associated with #***-1417458-1000252. 

      At this time, ************** is encouraged to reach out to Amazon directly to request an update regarding her expected refund. If ************** receives any documentation from Amazon confirming that Order IDs 114-1242921-3080269 and 114-2363891-1069041 are due to be refunded, she may provide it to Affirm for review by emailing ***************************************. 

      In the event ************** has any further questions or concerns, we encourage her to reach out to ****************************************************************;

      On December 31, 2023 I used affirm to complete a purchase with Ashley ********* for 4 total pieces of furniture. 3 of the 4 pieces were shipped immediately and the 4th is to ship 2/6/2024. I received notification today 1/21/2024 an adjustment of $294.16 was made to my loan which is the amount of the 4th piece of furniture. I checked my loan and reached out to customer service to inquire. I spoke to both ***** and his supervisor ***** who just kept saying nothing at this point can be done. I would have to process a new Affirm loan to complete the purchase. However in doing this option, my monthly obligations would increase! My current affirm loan for ****** was kept at the same monthly amount, they just shortened the term, which doesnt help. No assistance or helpful options were presented.My loan paperwork (unless overlooked) give a processing time frame to close out the purchase. I was also not contacted prior to Affirm closing my loan with the adjustment. I would have confirmed they are still processing the furniture.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to ****************** BBB complaint. Affirm has reviewed ****************** complaint, which involves his concerns with a recent purchase financing by Affirm. 

      Affirm records indicate that Mr. *************************** Homestore loan (ID ********** was processed on January 8, **** in the amount of $620.00. ************** agreed to make 12 monthly installment payments of $56.25 and the loan APR is *****%. No payments have been made to date. On January 21, ****, the funds that were not captured by the merchant were adjusted from ****************** loan balance, totaling $294.16.

      On January 21, ****, ************** contacted Affirm by phone to report that his loan had been refunded for the final item in his order that had not yet been shipped by the merchant. ************** expressed his concern as the merchant needed to capture the funds associated with this item once it was shipped. The responding Affirm agent advised ************** that the funds had been adjusted from his loan balance as the Virtual Card associated with ****************** loan had a processing cut-off date of January 21, ****. To that end, any un-captured funds associated with ****************** purchase would be adjusted from his loan balance to ensure that he is not charged for any funds that he did not use. Affirm would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this policy has caused in ****************** case. 

      ************** will need to utilize an alternate method of payment to proceed with the final item in his order with ****** Homestore. 

      In the event ************** has any further questions or concerns, we encourage him to reach out to **********************************************************;

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This poor apology still does not rectify the issue at hand. Affirm has done nothing to provide a solution to the problem, which concludes they do not care about their customers, just about making money. I had to open a new affirm loan and now I am paying more then expected monthly. What will affirm do to rectify that issue?

      Sincerely,

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to ****************** BBB rebuttal, which concerns his recent purchase with ****** Homestore. 

      Please note, although Affirm manages the financing of  the purchase associated with ****************** loan, the merchant is responsible for processing the transaction associated with the purchase. As mentioned in Affirm's previous response, each Affirm Virtual Card loan has a processing cut-off date after which the merchant will not be able to capture any additional funds. This policy is in place to ensure that customers are not charged for any unused or un-captured funds. To that end, any un-captured funds associated with ****************** purchase were adjusted from his loan balance as of January 21, 2024. 

      Please note, Affirm will never charge more than what is agreed to at the time of a  loan agreement. If ************** has any issues with a new Affirm loan, he is encouraged to report this to Affirm by reaching out to **********************************************************;
