I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
The first time that contact them for help they direct me to switch plan to free plan which I did and was supposed to be paused with no fee until September 1st ,but still they charge me another $8.99 fee,so why is that? Several reviews on their app.said exactly the same thing.Why as a stablished company there is no customer service phone number to call, in total I have 3 fees of $8.99 for $50 loan since I opened my account with them and I dont remember ever that having a premium account will have a fee ,if they are not able to make refund ,just send a check to *************************,

I signed up on 6/25/23 and receives cash advanced of $50. It was deposited into my account 6/26/23 and repaid from my bank account on 7/3/23. I deleted the account on 7/4 and also switched to free plan. I saw the plus plan was $9.99 a month. I shouldn't have been charged anything. I didn't have the service not even a week before they withdrew the $50.99 back.They charged me on 7/3/23 the $9.99 fee for membership. I deleted the account on 7/4/23. I not only repaid they got their $9.99 membership fee so I shouldn't never been charged again and especially $99 for a membership on 7/27/23. Are you kidding me. This company is a scam and rip off and before you even respond telling me I am eligible for a refund. You're a lie and half I am do a refund of my $99 and I will be disputing with my bank because I have evidence of everything.Business Response

Brigit is a fraud and the reason is you borrow money and sign up for the **** a month membership fee! They will take the **** out but they also take 50 dollars out for no reason at all ! It says nothing about being charged 50 dollars! They did this one time and i forgave them but canceled my membership but was in a money situation and needed to borrow some so i signed up thinking they would charge that again. Yet again they did it!! I will be getting legal help, It may be just 50 dollars but that is 50 dollars they pretty much steal!! Do not use these company!! Use Earnin or moneylion!!Business Response

Brigit is in receipt of BBB complaint ID ******** filed by *************************** regarding past due balance alerts.
Please be advised that Brigit takes consumer complaints seriously and all complaints are thoroughly investigated. Sometimes Brigit may ask consumers for additional information or evidence to support their claims.
In this instance, Brigit found that we sent this user $50 on 4/13/23 and this balance was due on 5/19/23. As of this writing this balance has yet to be repaid. Brigit sends out email and text notifications regarding past due balances to remind users that a balance is due and provide payment options such as payment plans or alternative bank payment. While we cannot stop these communications via email, the user has already stopped our text communications. If this user would like to repay her balance in full or create an easy to repay payment plan, she can do so by replying to the messages we have sent her. Additionally, this user is currently on our Plus plan membership of $9.99 per month. As a courtesy, her Plan was switched to the free plan meaning she is not being charged by Brigit going forward for her monthly membership fees.

Here is a breakdown of the events in order:-My account was hacked a few months ago and my bank institution restricted my account immediately and I had no choice but to start a new one.-I scrambled to change my information over to all places that had automatic payments with me, no issue until I talked to Brigit customer service. I had to make a manual payment before switching information. I ran into some issues due to this debacle (not Brigit's fault) which caused a delay in me paying back my advance.-Queue to now, I have over 10 grand in my account and able to pay you back, great I thought!-I go to this link provided and it says it can't verify my bank with the debit card I used. I called my bank and they stated this was an issue on the merchant's end (Brigit) as they saw the authorization go through. -I reached out to Brigit customer service who were not helpful in the slightest. They told me to use the link. I replied back stating I did this and then literally no response...the next email I get is to rate my experience with Brigit!-I then went in today attempting with my credit card, to which the system stated I needed to use a debit or prepaid card. I attempted to use my debit card which again has well more than enough to cover the ****** owed and again I get a text stating there was an issue verifying my bank?All I am literally trying to do is pay you back! And hopefully then re-sync my new bank account for future advances. Please help as your customer service is not! I don't know why your system is not recognizing my debit card, but it is indeed an issue on your end as I have verified this with my bank.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.Although it is only resolved because I was "magically" able to reconnect the correct account and make my payment. You will of course notice the business ignored the issue entirely and kept repeating the same thing over and over after I clarified several times that the way that was offered to resolve this was not working. Regardless my complaint is now resolved.

Boyfriend and I have been trying to buy a house. He started working with ****** Credit Repair to improve his credit so we could qualify for home loan. After a couple months his credit had improved enough to get approved for $100,000 home loan. We found a realtor and were about to put in an offer on a house when the lender informed us that my boyfriend had a recent derogatory statement on his credit for $10 from Brigit that might stop us from getting the loan. So my boyfriend looked into. He had an account with ********** but they had closed his account for inactivity the month before and he changed banks and updated the info on his Brigit account. When it came time to draft the monthly $10 they attempted to draft it out of the CLOSED account. When it came back insufficient instead of contacting him they reported it to the credit bureau and his score went down 154 points. Now we cant get a home and we are homeless. Plus my boyfriend is 100% disabled. The following is the report on his credit. Please note the date they are reporting as past due.***************************************************************************************************Business Response

They have two different accounts, a free account and a Premium in which they claim you choose and change at anytime. I was on the premium account for $9.99 a month. Two months ago I switched back to the free account. They still took out the $9.99 because they claimed I owed a payment, which I did. So last month I did not borrow any money at all and owed nothing. This month of June they take out $9.99 out of my checking account. I contacted their Chat AI robot and explained that I was on the free account, I logged into my account and it showed that I was on the free account and they had sent me confirmation several months ago that I was back on the free account. Their response was that if I owed a payment within 30 days they can still take our the $9.99. I did finally find an email address to them and send them an email explaining everything. All I want is my $9.99 back they took from me this month. I deleted my account with them hoping this will not happen next month.Business Response
