      On February 17,2024 my card was lost or stolen. I received a text alert to approve a purchase at DTLR. I denied to purchase. I then went into my app and noticed my card had already been used three times. ( ****** **** *** - $51, ***** * **** *** -$127.50, and DTLR $389.95) I locked that card .I received a few more text messages about attempts to use my card after it had been locked. I contacted customer service to dispute the charges due to fraud and the have my card replaced with a new account number. On 2-23-2024 my account was adjusted and the money due from those charges returned to my account. In May , the fraud charges were reposted and I was informed that the company tired to call me. I work during the day and couldn't answer. I lost the fraud claim due to this. Customer service stated that they would resubmit my fraud claim on the charges. On 6/6/2024 i was recharged again for those same 3 charges. So now they're on my account twice and they expect me to pay twice plus all the fees and finance charges for they're mistake. Customer service has not been any help . I've also emailed the company.

      Dear Theresa, 

      Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused you. We have conducted a thorough review of your case and would like to address your concerns as follows: 

      We confirmed and are happy to see that a fraud claim was successfully filed on 02/17/2024 and temporary credits had been applied while we investigated on 02/23/2024. This claim was initially denied on 05/14/2024 due to contact attempts being made for further information and our team not being able to speak with you.  

      Unfortunately, due to an error by a dispute's analyst reviewing your account, the same three transactions were reposted to your account two additional times in May 2024. We apologize for this oversight and the resulting confusion and frustration this has caused. We have taken steps to ensure similar issues do not occur in the future and are currently in the process of reversing the duplicate charges assessed on the account and the request to re-open your fraud claim for further review.  

      We understand the impact this situation has had on your finances and deeply apologize for the frustration this has caused. We will reach out to the email on file once we have an update and, in the meantime, if you have any additional concerns or need further assistance, please contact us directly by email at ************************ or by calling our Customer Service department at *************

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      The only issue I still have is that due to the mistake on the company's part and not by my actions my credit limit was dropped.

      In June, 2024 I receivd a loan from Prosper for the amount of $26,000. On or about June 25th, 2024 a deposit was made to my checking account from ********************** for $23, ******. When I initially applied for the loan I spoke with two separate customer service representatives pursuant to the difference in the requested amount and the amount that waas actually posteed in my acccount. I questioned the loan origination fee PRIOR to signing the documents. I was advised by the customer service representative on two occasions by two separate representatives that the fee would be reimbursed to me upon repayment. Mind you my first payment is not due until July 25,2024. On July 8, 2024 I had the money to pay the loan in full. When I requested a pay off amount of $26,000. I called Prosper to inquire aas to the diffrence. I was sent to the escalation team and was told by a team member named ****** that the loan origination fee was not refundable and I should read the small print. I would have NEVER taken this loan out if I knew that the fee was non refundable but I listened to the other two representatives who stated I would receive the refund upon payoff. I am not even one month into the loan and I essentially owe them $2000.00 for just taking out the loan which is in total conflict by the two representatives. I asked the escalation representative ***** if it was possible to retrieve the phone calls I had since they were recorded and would subsequently disclose the information I was given by their representatives. To date no reply!!!!! FRAUD at its finest.

      Complaint: 21959989

      I am rejecting this response because: At my requesst and concurance from two support representatives in escalations, I requested review of the phone calls.  Both came back stating I was not told the original fee would be refundable.  This is an absolutant blantant lie as it was relayed to me PRIOR to me signing the loan dosuments.  I would not have signed with a $2000.00 origination fee that I would only have the loan for one month.  I have not even had my first payment yet.  I have been a Specal Agent with the U.S. Government for 25 years and I am in no way going to falsiffy or defraud a financial institution.  The remarks that were made in violation of 18 U.S.C ***************************************************************** the truth would be revealved.  I was told the origination fee would be returned in full upon repayment, point blank.  I will alow the BBB pursue it normal course of duties against Prosper but will be providing tis information the the ************** of ************* for consumer fraud by a banking institution as well as false statements made by the escalation team.  This should have not gone this far but it seems looking at the reviews on Prosper whuch are 99% negative should be taken into acoount as evidentiary material.  Perhaps supobeaned phone calls from Prosper should be mandadated by a magistrate judge within my jurisdiction and reviewed by Senior Special Agents such as myself.

      This company continues to lie and prevent me from paying their predatory credit card. I have sent countless payments to this company and none have been applied to my knowledge because I do not have any statements from them since February 2024. They claim they mailed them but I do not have any of them. So how am I supposed to track payments if I dont have statements? I have been paying what I typically paid which is $192/mo. I have made countless complaints to CFPB and here and all their agents do is lie upon compounded lie. Any other reputable company that isnt F rated would give their clients a way to pay online in the 21st century.

      Prosper has been advised to remove my banking account in a previous complaint and have of course continued to keep my bank account on file violating my privacy as I owe them no money and clearly have no interest in doing any business with this ESL employer. I continue to receive physical mail from prosper though I have advised that they stop contacting me and they have made it clear that they intentionally do not respond to my support email which makes it particularly scammy that they will initiate communication if it will get them access to my money.

      I consolidated my loan with another company , Discover Personal Loans. A check was mailed by them earlier this month because Prosper does not allow a wire transfer. This was a large amount of money. I called support only to get the run around about receiving the check. I also asked for the escalated individuals employee ID and she said she would give it to me ; she never provided it and lied to me on the phone and on email. Now I have a large sum check floating somewhere out in their company and still being charged interest on my account because of their incompetence. How can you not accept wire payments for large sums of money in 2024? I am requesting a refund for the $300 dollars they have charged me in interest while they keep looking for my check I sent.

      I have auto pay active on my Prosper loan. I have two actually. Never late always pull. Last payment was 2 months ago. They reported me late as I had a balance of $12 so my credit is destroyed. They failed to pull this payment. Failed to tell me they would refuse to pull the payment. I have now paid it on website. No response from them to removing the inaccurate late payment as I paid all synths per our agreement on Autopay.

      06/21/2024

      Thank you for reaching out to our team ***. 

      We would like to say congratulations on paying off your loan with Prosper! 

      The small balance was caused by a due date change on 8/11/2023.When a loan is approved, the amortization schedule is already made and applied based on the monthly payment. Changing the due date from the 15th to the 29th resulted in additional interest that was not originally in the amortization schedule which left a small balance of $12.89 being left over after the maturity date. 

      At this time, autopay will not continue to draft any remaining balance on the loan once it hits the maturity date. 

      We apologize for the frustration this has caused, and as a courtesy, we have removed the late reporting from your credit report. Please allow ***** days for this to reflect on your credit profile. 

      If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at ************** or email us at **********************************.

      On June 7 2024 I applied for and was approved for a loan through prosper. They asked that I upload my pay stubs which I did. The paystubs showed that I am a w2 employee with 2 jobs and my pay exactly matched what I put on the application. After several days I was contacted and told they could only verify $142,000 and not the $192,000 I put on the application. After several minutes of explaining that they are doing math incorrectly I was told that their method is proprietary and they could not explain how they were getting the number they were getting. I was then told that they could cancel the loan, and I would need to reapply with the lower $142000 amount that they claimed they could verify. After waiting several days for the other loan to be canceled I finally was allowed to apply again. Once doing so, the loan was again approved but then my account was suspended and no explanation was given. I called the service number and was told I would now have to wait 90 days to reapply since they are requesting the hard inquiry be removed from my credit. This is not a request that I made and just seems like another excuse. Since there is an inquiry from them on my credit it makes it difficult for me to go to another lender as they may believe I am taking out multiple loans. I believe the individual that I spoke to is simply discriminating against me even though their system has approved the loan. I need resolution to this, or I will be forced to also file a complaint with the California attorney general.

      Dear ****,

      Thank you for reaching out to our team.

      Were sorry for any confusion or frustration this issue may have caused.

      During the verification process we are required to verify the annual stated income based off your current earnings on your most recent paystubs.

      We are happy to see the agent on 06/10/2024 was able to explain why we could not verify the stated income on your initial application submitted on 06/07/2024, and that it was cancelled within the 48-hour timeframe for you to be able to reapply.

      After the second application was received on 06/12/2024 with the verified income, it was determined that we cannot continue to extend a loan offer to you at this time, and an Adverse Action Notice was provided outlining the reasons why. We welcome you to re-apply 90 days from 6/12/2024.

      We want to assure you that we have taken steps to remove the hard inquiry associated with the loan application. Please allow ***** days for this to reflect on your credit profile.

This was done out of spite by an employee who was proved wrong after I pointed out they could not do basic math while calculating income.  Your company and response is a complete joke and I will await the outcome from the California attorney general and ftc.   Don't bother sending another canned response to the bbb.  Everyone on here can see that you only know how to copy and paste.
