    I booked a cruise with Carnival and I paid it off it off 10/30/2024. I cancelled the. Tissue the end of January 2025. I waited for Carnival to let flex pay know and they issued a refund the end of February but it never made it to my account because the car I used was canceled due to fraud. I emailed them and set up an account with *****. I sent a communication through their app and I received a refund off $1518.00 on 2/27/25. Which the total amount paid was $2136.00. I have since sent 3 additional communications asking for the balance of $618.00 I have not heard from anyone nor have I received an additional refund. I have tried calling but it only refers you to their app.

    Took out a loan in June 2024 for my wedding/honeymoon flight. Auto draft was setup to deduct from my CHECKING account. All along, payments have been taken out of my SAVINGS account and I do not even know that information. The money is in my checking and I have now been charged with a total of $300 of NSF fees because I was unaware they were pulling from my savings account. I had my bank on the phone to verify that the information provided was to my CHECKING account and my savings should have not been touched. I submitted my SAVINGS account statement for proof that the account numbers do have a difference and in order for auto draft to come out of my SAVINGS account more information would have to be provided. Uplift/FlexPay will not take responsibility for deducting from the incorrect account.

    I write this letter as a concerned consumer strictly under my own recognizance in a state of unmistakable frustration and urgency. I have discovered blatant duplicate and misleading reporting of my UPLIFT *** (Flex Pay) account #********. It appears as both a charge-off with a balance under the original creditors name and a collection account under ************************* (Account #**************. This violates multiple provisions of federal law, most notably the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This reporting is very misleading and is damaging my chances of being approved for my mortage which constitutes as actual damages if this situation is not resolved. Please don't ask me to resubmit this information as you have done in the past as I am submitting this complaint to protect my rights and others like me.

    I am filing a complaint against Uplift, Inc. for improper debt handling, inaccurate credit reporting, and potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).This installment loan was sold, reassigned, or transferred, and I was never properly notified or given documentation of the transfer. However, Uplift continues to report delinquency and a charge-off, even though they may no longer own the debt.Additionally, I have disputed this account with the credit bureaus, and Uplift has failed to provide full validation that they still have legal rights to report or collect on this debt.Under the ***** Uplift is responsible for ensuring that my credit report reflects only accurate and legally verified information. Since this account was sold or reassigned, they must either provide full documentation proving ownership or remove the charge-off immediately.

    I am filing this complaint because my credit report contains unverified accounts that I do not recognize. These accounts are appearing under my name without my authorization, and I have every reason to believe they may be linked to a data breach or fraudulent activity. I take my financial security seriously, and I refuse to allow false or unverifiable information to damage my credit standing. These inaccuracies are actively harming my financial stability, and I demand immediate action to correct them.Despite my repeated attempts to obtain verification, I have not received any legitimate proof that these accounts belong to me. This blatant lack of transparency is a direct violation of my consumer rights. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 15 U.S.C. 1681g, I am demanding full documentation proving the validity of these accounts, including:Company Name: UPLIFTINC Account Number: 6323**** Reported Balance: $0.00 I require real, verifiable proof such as original account applications, signed agreements, or transaction records confirming their legitimacy. A generic response stating that the account has been "verified" is not acceptable. If no such documentation exists, these accounts must be immediately removed under FCRA Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i), which mandates the deletion of unverifiable information from consumer credit reports.Additionally, I am filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) against them, as this company has failed to provide proper documentation proving the validity of the reported account. Their refusal to supply supporting records and their failure to conduct a legitimate verification process are clear violations of federal law. I expect an immediate investigation and a full response addressing this issue.

    Hi *****, 

    Thank you for your correspondence through the Better Business Bureau. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

    Your reference number is 5437.

    We are sorry to hear that your recent purchase did not meet your expectations. We will share your experience with our partners for further evaluation. However, please note that it is your responsibility to obtain a refund from the merchant. Once the merchant processes the refund and sends it to Upgrade, we will apply the refund to the balance of your loan.

    In the event that you receive a credit instead of a refund, or if a cancellation fee is applied, please be aware that you will remain responsible for the outstanding balance. If the refund amount exceeds your loan balance, we will ensure the excess is refunded to you.

    Upgrade will keep you informed throughout the process by email, notifying you when the refund is received from the merchant and when your loan balance has been adjusted. Additionally, you can monitor the status of your refund at any time by logging into your Member Portal.

    Here are some additional related topics for your reference:

    How long does it take for Upgrade to receive the funds from the merchant?
    - Each merchant has their own timeframe, we generally see funds within 30 Days. The best way to find this out, would be to contact the Merchant directly. 

    How long does it take for Upgrade to refund me?
    - After the funds are adjusted to the loan, within 5-7 business days, the refunding can take up to 7-14 business days. 

    Will I get a refund of all the money I paid?
    - This is based on your loan agreement and the amount that is refunded back to Upgrade from the Merchant. 
    - If the refund from the Merchant is more than the Balance Owed - Upgrade will apply funds to the balance of your loan.
    - If the refunded amount is more than your outstanding balance, we will refund that money to you. Note: Interest Accrued and Origination fee are not eligible for refunds.
    - If the refund from the Merchant is less than the Balance Owed - Upgrade will apply the funds to the outstanding balance of your loan. 

    How will I get my refund?
    - If you are due to receive a refund from Upgrade, we refund back to the original form of payment, for each individual transaction. We will first attempt to process the refund through the same method it was processed. If there are any limitations that prevent this from happening, we will then transition the refund to Zelle, and then a check as the final step.

    Do I continue to make my Monthly Payment, even if I'm waiting on a refund?
    - Yes. Please continue to make your Monthly Payments, to ensure we can continue to report to ******* that the loan is in good standing. If there is a Balance Owed on the loan, this means the loan remains open and is eligible for reporting. 

    Why did the Merchant only give a partial refund?
    - This is common when the Merchant does not process a full refund. Meaning, the amount Upgrade paid the Merchant is not the same amount that was refunded back to Upgrade. The best option to find out why funds may have been held, is to reach out directly to the Merchant. 

    I was issued a voucher/credit from the Merchant; what now?
    - If the merchant issues you a credit instead of a refund, your Flex Pay loan through Upgrade remains the same. Continue making your monthly payments and use the credit to make your next purchase when you are ready.

    Why didn't I receive a full refund from Upgrade?
    - This happens when the refund received does not pay off the balance owed. Interest accrued and the Loan Origination fee are nonrefundable. If you have more questions about this, your Borrower Agreement and Promissory Note is accessible in your Member Portal.

    If you have any additional questions, please contact our Customer Advocacy Team at ***************, Monday- Friday, 7am-6pm MST, or by email at ***************************************************************.

    On 2/25/25 I booked a flight with Volaris (see Volaris_flight PDF) and used Uplift as a payment option (Loan ************ was created); decided to cancel this booking later the same day (see Volaris refund PDF). I logged into my Uplift account and noticed that Loan was still active (first payment requested on 3/26/25) and reached out through the offered **************** form to inquire about the cancellation of this (see ************* ********. I reached out again 3/5 through direct email (as mentioned in Uplift cancellation FAQs): have not heard back from Uplift about cancelling Loan ************ as of the time I submit this. I have not paid any money to Uplift, since the flight was cancelled, but just wanting them to erase this loan from my account. I do have another active loan with Uplift (#************), which is for another booked Volaris flight, and this I do intend on making the required payments.
