Our company has been a great customer of ********************** and has never paid late. There was a national disaster that knocked all of the power out and we had no phone or internet access. Our bill is due on the 14th of the month and we paid it on the 18th. We actually paid it on the 17th, but because their cut-off time is 3:30 it paid on the 18th. However, this is the first time and we got charged a late fee of $237.52. The payment was only $133 and this was the first time. I called to get a courtesy credit and was told that "it was not WEX's fault or an extenuating circumstance". Courtesy means just that courtesy and it was an extenuating circumstance and we don't NEVER pay late! This is ridiculous and very disappointing to know how WEX feels about their customers. I am requesting a credit to my bill of the $237.52Initial Complaint

Shell Fleet WEX *** is NOT being in compliance with their return policy. I closed my account approximately around May 18th which was 72 days ago. Management has no answers on the behalf of where my deposit is. The deposit was supposed to be issued back to me as a check in the mail but no one knows where the check is. When I initially opened my account, my account manger advised me, all deposits will be issued back the same way they came in (Which was a wire transfer). No one is being helpful towards me and i believe they are not trying to pay me my deposit. My deposit amount was $550 Account Name: *********************** Company: Radiomadness Productions Account Number: *************Business response

Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
I decline this offer.
I tried reaching out to WEX more than 8 times and I get an inconsistent answer each time. If my account was closed on May 8, 2024 and it takes 30 days to clear all charges that would mean it's now June 8, 2024. WEX management advised me it would take 4-6 weeks for me to get my check. It's now over eight weeks (56 days) and I still don't have my check. If it take 30 days to clear all charges from the time of closing account (May 8) why was my check processed on (June 17) (40 days) instead of 30 advised in this email?
I demand my check is sent through money wire by me submitting banking information. Management also advised me that my check was sent out in the mail on July 7. No mail deliver in the ************************ takes over 30 days to deliver mail.
WEX is very inconsistent and it's unethical at this point.

To enable customers to make timely payments, ********************** offers the ability to make payments for free online and over the phone, and customers may set up direct debit to pull funds from their bank account. When a customer sets up and uses direct debit, late fees do not accrue on the account.
Pursuant to the terms of the *** WEX Fleet One OTR Business Card Agreement, a late fee of 6.99% per billing cycle is assessed on all past due balances. The late fee is assessed on the first day following the date a payment is due and is not posted to the account by the end of the business day. The late fee will apply to all past due amounts. A minimum finance charge of $150.00 is applied in the event that the calculated rate is less than $150.00. ********s are free to pay their account balance, or any portion of it, in advance of the due date without penalty. Also pursuant to the agreement, a returned item fee of $75.00 is assessed for non-sufficient funds (NSF).
WEX received a notice of non-sufficient funds for a payment submitted by the customer on June 13, 2024. As the customers payment to ********************** was returned as non-sufficient funds, finance charges and a returned item (NSF) fee were assessed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. As of the date of this response, WEX has not received payment for this invoice statement.
Additionally, WEX has not received the customers payment for the subsequent invoice, and as a result, an additional finance charge was assessed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

On my July 2024 invoice, I received a charge for "other adjustments in this period" of $53.88. Not knowing what this was for, I called WEX to ask. After 30 minutes on hold, I was advised due to a late payment, I was billed for a $50 reactivation fee. This is the first time I have ever been late with a payment in years and I was only 6 days late. The customer service agent refused to acknowledge my years as a customer, and stated there was nothing they could do. Upon stating I felt that this fee was unacceptable, they said it was standard procedure. There is no record of tax being charged on this $50 fee yet, the bill is for $53.88.This is poor business practice.Business response

The billing system for Exxon and Shell is basically a ripoff with 26 or 24 day billing cycles, whatever they decide to do, which cause due dates to change at any time!! No auto-pay for all acounts, and also can end up with 2 due dates in the same month!!!! Also, when it comes to due dates, if payment is due on 27th, but paid after 3p, it is still considered late! Therefore an instant late fee!! No consideration that it was paid on the date! If I had auto-pay this would eliminate alot of frustration because I literally have to BABYSIT this account with changing due dates, additional due dates per month, and keeping up with the time ON THE DUE DATE!!! As soon as I get a grip on this inflation, I will be paying this card off and closing it instantly!!!!! I will not ever recommend this card to ANYONE and my husband is a dispatcher for many drivers and companies, he won't utter a word!!!Business response

As a company that prides itself on helping its clients operate better and more efficiently, we take these complaints seriously and do our best to investigate what occurred.
WEX sent an email to the customer each month on the business day after the billing cycle ended. This email alerted the customer that their invoice was ready to view in their online account.
The customers ********************** accounts do not allow for recurring automatic payments. To enable customers to make timely payments, ********************** offers the ability to make payments for free online, over the phone, or by mail. This information is provided on page two of the customers monthly invoice statement under Payment Information.
Pursuant to the terms of the WEX FLEET FLEXCARD BUSINESS ACCOUNT AGREEMENT, the payment due date generally will be between 22 and 26 days from the billing date specified on the invoice. The invoice closes on the same day every month. ********s are free to pay their account balance, or any portion of it, in advance of the due date without penalty. If payment is not received by the bill due date, finance charges are assessed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the finance charge is calculated as the total balance due on the date the account becomes delinquent, multiplied by the periodic rate (6.99%). As described in the Agreement, the total balance due includes the outstanding balance plus any additional charges and credits entered since the last billing cycle, minus any payments or credits entered for customer-reported disputes or otherwise. A minimum finance charge of $75.00 is applied in the event that the calculated rate is less than $75.00.
Also pursuant to the Agreement, payment is posted on the same business day when made before the cut-off time, or the following business day when made after the cut-off time. The cut-off time is: 3:30 p.m. ET for online, IVR, and ACH payments. If payment is not received by the bill due date, finance charges are assessed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.WEX approved a one time waiver of the customers late payment fees on March 22, 2024 for one account, and a one time waiver for the late payment fees on April 26, 2024 for their other WEX account. ********************** is unable to waive any additional fees for this customer.

I am not satisfied with the response as again, the response indicates a legal billing system ripoff. I have over 20 accounts with other businesses and this is the ONLY one that I've ever had so many issues and dealings with the inconsistencies this system has. A due date should be fixed, ONCE PER MONTH, not changing dates, and having multiple due dates in one month because the billing system decides on its own to change billing cycles from 22 to 26 or from 26 to 24. The other ripoff is having a time for payments to be made before 3p with NO AUTOPAY. So, of course waivers should be given to customers when payments are made on the DUE DATE even after 2p, a due date is a date. No, not satisfied.

Wex charged a finance charge of $554.37 on an outstanding amount of $2,935.13. The due date was 5/21/24. We mailed this payment 5/13/24. Wex shows received 5/24/24. We allowed ample time for the mail to be delivered. This is an absurd rate and significantly more than their 9.99% finance charge that they state on the invoice as "the Finance Charge is determined by applying a periodic rate of 9.99%." We have tried two attempts to discuss with them to no resolve. After talking to one of their reps yesterday I asked to speak to a manager about the issue and was placed on hold for 15'. With a business to run I can't afford my time spent on an issue like this that shouldn't have happened and is an easy correction to make. We have been a customer of theirs for more than 10 years.

The ******* AND TEXACO Business Account Agreement includes a fee schedule that outlines potential fees and charges, which provides information about the account reactivation fee.
On June 5, 2024, the customer exceeded their credit limit, which resulted in an account suspension. On June 7, 2024, some pending transactions were authorized, which brought the account under the credit limit. The account was then reactivated, and a card reactivation fee was assessed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Later on June 7, 2024, the account was suspended again for going over the credit limit. The account has since been terminated at the customers request.Customer response

At no time did WEX mention that the account was suspended. The email I received was regarding the account approaching limit, email dated 6/7/2024. On the same day, a payment in full was paid to the account.
The information they provided that the account was suspended twice is inaccurate. The account was never suspended. And payment was made prior to account reaching its limit.Perhaps their system doesnt take take into consideration or perhaps charging unjustified fees is a company culture.
The $50 fee is not a legitimate fee and should be refunded.
the only accurate information in WEX representative response it that i called and closed my account due to not being provided any explanation through customer service line.Companies spend thousands of dollars to acquire a customer and some companies loose a customer for $50 of frivolous charge.

The response from Wex is inaccurate.
no transaction was ever cancelled on June 7th. An email was sent on June 10th advising of account *** reach limit. In the same day, a payment was processed on their portal which paid off the account. $50 of unjustified fee representing %10 of the total credit limit is outrageous, unethical business practice and must be refunded.
This is a good example of taking advantage of consumers. CFPB has put guidance for these practices.
The only acceptable resolution is for Wex to refund the unfair fee charged.

At 6.25.24 we have yet to receive the cards; we were told that they 'could not be expedited' and we would have to wait for regular mail. In addition, we are still receiving invoices even though we still do not have cards or access to the account. The representative who contacted me by phone on 6-19-24 stated that we would be receiving credits for the amounts we have paid while not having/being able to use cards, however we have not seen any documentation or record of this; the most recent email from WEX is showing a balance due. We have paid over $70.00 since April with no use of cards.
Until we have cards that can be used, and record of refunds to our account for useless monies paid, we are not satisfied with the response.
