      I am rejecting this response because:

      Oportun is 1000% liars. Oportun agreed to the pay off agreement and to delete the debt after payment was made.

      This isn't over at all. Now I will make sure Oportun pay the right way. I'll see you there Oportun the great liars.

      You won't lie out your way out of the next phaze.

      I had always paid on time, there was a problem with the card I provided to pay the overdue payment and thinking that everything was fine I thought that the payment had been made without a problem, then I found out a month and a half later that they had already reported to the credit bureau that I had not paid on time and this caused my credit score to drop considerably causing problems for me with other lending agencies. All this without me knowing that I was late and without having problems paying, I called Oportun and the agent informed me that there was nothing humanly possible that I could do to correct the problem, on another occasion I also had a similar problem and the lender only indicated that when paying the debt they would update their database and delete the record from their system. I think it is unfair that they make me go through this inconvenience when I have always complied consciously Customer number: ******* Loan number: ******* Last payment attempt March 11, $362.13 from account 5156 checking account. Payment was declined due to insufficient funds.

      This business is a company that saves money for you from your banks checking account and saves to an account for you; then when you have saved enough as you want you request to have it withdrawn and placed into your checking or savings account at your bank, I.e. forced savings. It has worked well so far but now I got a new phone and they have the wrong phone number listed for me. I cannot get into my account! You cannot reach them by phone; only by email: support@oportun. I have tried many times, but they only issue you a ticket number and no one seems to follow up. I need to retrieve my money and cant get anyone to help with this, yet they are still taking money from my checking account and saving it for me. The amount is still adding up and I cant get it because they have wrong info when you try to sign in. PLEASE help. Thank you.

      On July 18, 2024, I spoke with a representative *************************** about an issue I was having. Opportun reported a negative re**** on my credit report a day before my payment was due, which is on recurring payment per their request. I asked why there was a negative **** on my credit report and the representative stated that because I enrolled in their Payment Reduction Plan, I would have a negative **** on my credit report every month. I was discouraged from getting on this plan because I did not want a negative re**** so I asked her what the process is for not receiving a negative **** on my credit report. She stated that I would have to delete the Payment reduction plan but she first needed to consult with her supervisor. When she returned back from the conversation with her supervisor, she stated she deleted my Payment reduction plan without first having a conversation with me or updating me on what the supervisor suggestions were. She stated that my payment is tomorrow and has increased from $90 to $225. I explained to her the reason I was on the plan in the first place was due to relocating from ***** to ******* and pending employment so paying $225 without a chance to react or plan would be difficult for me. She put a supervisor on the phone-****** who re-instated me on the payment reduction plan and payments back to $90. I now have to start over with paying ********************************* money due to the error of the representative *************************** and my interest rate increased due to this transaction. I stated that I was not a happy customer due to their error and they stated that is all they could do for me. I feel ripped off financially and my problem of them reporting to the credit bureau was not resolved. They both suggested I dispute with the credit bureau, not them.

      I have contacted Oportun about someone else using my email address for their account. They have told me they refuse to to rectify the issue because I won’t provide more information. I refuse to give more information because I don’t feel safe doing so. It’s led to a discussion that was a back and forth and then not budging at all. I would love if they stopped using my personal email for someone else’s account.

      Oportun has all of my bank account and card information necessary to withdrawal payments. However they did not take the payments out from my bank account even though I have a automatic payment set up through my routing number. They did not have the correct address on file nor did they call my correct phone number to reach out requesting payment. They instead have been reporting the account late and messing up my credit. I have paid the months that they have reported for non payment on 6/10/24 and 6/13/24 yet they have not updated the account and reported the account as current. They still are reporting non payment and still messing up my credit negatively. Since I have used this company they have reported my account 23 times for late payments and also taken my credit score down 100+ points that reflect negatively. I am seeking to have them remove the inaccurate credit reports for non payment and late payments because they have all the necessary bank information to withdrawal the payments and instead they reported the payments late or unpaid. They have also sent my account to collections when I have a existing payment plan on file. I have paid the account up to date balance since **** 2024 and proceeded to make payments on time yet they have not updated the account since May 2024 to reflect the account balance being current and up to date. I will reach out to lawyers regarding improper and false reporting to credit bureaus, inaccurate reporting, not up to date reports, and seek damages regarding negative reporting to my credit score when the account has been paid up to date. They have also charged several late fees instead of withdrawing the money directly from the account eventho they are authorized to make the withdrawal. They recently reported another false report for non payment of **** when they already withdrew two payments this month of July on 7/1 for **** and 7/12. The account is current and they are still reporting 60 days past due on the account.
