    On 4/24/2025 I requested a payoff letter for my uplift account, that had been taken over by Upgrade. I was provided the attached letter and mailed payment same day. The account is still showing open open with a balance, and on 5/13/2025 the regular payment of ****** was taken from my account. I confirmed with my bank the check cleared for payoff on 5/8/2025. Since then I have called over 10 times and sent emails over 7 times, and every time I am promised it will be posted, but when I call back there is no record of payment. At this point no one is returning my call or emails. I am requesting the account be closed and the overpayment taken from my account be refunded to my home address via check. Also, my credit be updated to reflect the account has paid in full. Also, that they does not reflect negatively on my credit report as I have remove the auto draft so additional payments cannot be taken.

    Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed two late payments reported for January 2025 and April 2025 that I believe is inaccurate. I have maintained on-time payments and do not have accurate documentation that the payment was legitimately 30 days late. I am requesting a full investigation and verification of this payment. If the creditor is unable to provide sufficient evidence, I am asking that the record be updated to reflect accurate reporting.

    Hi Alysa, 

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

    Your reference number is 6096.

    We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

    After a careful review of your payment history, we would like to clarify that a payment was not received on February 25, 2025, and had it been made on or before February 9, 2025, it would have prevented the account from being reported to the credit bureau.

    Unfortunately, because the payment was missed and there was a pattern of previous late and missed payments, the credit reporting reflects the account's status accurately. We do see that you eventually made a double payment to cover the missed months, which we appreciate. While that helped bring the account current, it occurred after the reporting period had ended. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your options, please dont hesitate to reach out. 

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

    We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

    Complaint: 23403525

    I am rejecting this response because the outsbading balance was $1.74, from a balance that inadvertently carried over after the last payment amount was pre-ducted. Additionally, the late payment is being reported differently among the three credit bureaus. Specifically, Experian is showing two late payments in January 2025 and May 2025, ******* is solely reporting a late payment in January 2025 and ********** is reporting a late payment from (Celtic) bank from January 2025,


    Sincerely,

    Hi Alysa, 

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

    Your reference number is 6096.

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

    We want to clarify that your January payment was not received until February 25, 2025. We understand that circumstances can sometimes cause delays, but if the payment had been made on or before February 9, 2025, it would have prevented the account from being reported to the credit bureau.

    Per your loan agreement, the final scheduled payment of $71.46 was due on January 9, 2025. Unfortunately, due to the delayed payment and a pattern of previous late or missed payments, the credit reporting accurately reflects the current status of the account.

    Hi *******, 

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

    Your reference number is 6031.

    We understand that financial matters can sometimes be complex, and we want to provide clarity regarding your account.

    After a thorough review of your account, our records show that on January 8, 2025, you were approved for Flex Pay by Upgrade, and a Virtual Credit Card ending in 9264 was used to complete a booking with *******************

    We understand that you have since canceled your booking, and we sincerely regret any frustration or confusion this situation may have caused.

    At this time, ****************** has not issued a monetary refund to the Virtual Credit Card used for the transaction. As outlined in your loan agreement, refunds are processed directly by the merchant, as Flex Pay by Upgrade functions solely as the financing provider and does not manage merchant transactions or cancellations.

    To resolve this matter, we recommend contacting ****************** directly to inquire about the status of your refund.

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

    After recently reviewing my credit report from your company, I noticed several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The accounts in question are listed below:Company Name: UPLIFTINC Account #: 6135**** Balance: $0.00 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of all documents in your records that were used to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified. Instead, I expect to receive the actual records supporting this verification. If no such documentation exists, these disputed accounts should be removed from my credit report immediately, as required under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the FCRA.Including unverified or inaccurate information on my credit reportand continuing to share it with third partiesunfairly damages both my credit standing and my reputation. I ask that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible.

    ********************** is a financial technology company, and ******************** of Upgradefacilitates loans for travelers to finance their travel bookings.

    According to our records, you opened a closed-end loan on April 2, 2021. The promissory note and loan agreement were signed electronically and remain accessible to you through your Member Portal at ******************************.

    On the same day, April 2, 2021, AM Resorts Now received a disbursement of $2,349.67 for your travel booking. Subsequently, a partial refund of $922.77 was issued on May 26, 2021, which was applied toward your loan balance.

    We also show that one payment of $159.10 was made on May 2, 2021, toward the loan associated with account ending in *****. Unfortunately, after that payment, no further payments were received. As a result, the account became delinquent and was charged off on October 1, 2021.

    On or around December 9, 2021, the account was transferred to First Portfolio Ventures, a debt purchaser. After reviewing the account details, we have determined that no corrections are needed at this time.

    Tried to book a flight using flexpay. Well, the airline told me that they didnt receive the payment from flexpay. I reached out to flexpay customer service and they told me that the loan was cancelled and to apply again. Well, I applied again and received an email to login. When I logged in I found the loan that they had told me was cancelled as being active with an upcoming automatic withdraw date of June 15. I am requesting this loan to appear as cancelled on your website and there better not be any charges on my account for a service I did not receive. This loan better not default and affect my credit because I will get legal involved. **** this company down! Over 300 + people with the same complaint! Come on BBB do something with this incompetent company

    Hi ******, 

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

    Your reference number is 5942.

    Thank you for your patience. Wed like to update you on the status of your account.

    The funds were successfully sent to the merchant by Upgrade. However, it appears there was a technical issue on the merchants end, which may have been caused by the browser used (such as Safari) or the account that was logged in at the time of the transaction.

    Due to this error, the charge is expected to automatically fall off within 14 business days. Additionally, the loan will be reported as closed on your credit report by next month.

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

    Complaint: 23336282

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Someone is lying here either uplift or ***************************** Uplift tells all their clients that they will take 14 business days to refund their client. Then they still withdraw the money from the clients account. This company needs to be shut down! Please BBB review all the comments here for this company. 

    I am requesting to this loan be cancelled from Uplifts end immediately and I want a confirmation of this. I also want this to reflect on their website because as you can see attached it is still shows as Active. I already spoke to United they told that Uplift never sent them the money. 

    Now, Uplift is blaming safari an internet issue. So why am I being penalized for this?! 
    I also want this loan to not appear on my credit as Uplift did not disburse this money!

So I got a refund from the hotel to uplift . So I shouldnt owe anything , I didnt get to use the service . The money got refunded . Please stop sending me emails , stop putting stuff on my credit report and adjust this bill. I shouldnt pay for something that I didnt use and the money got refunded to you all.

    The few times my family has gone to ****** I have used UPLIFT to purchase our flights. I noticed that I had three current accounts with ********************** but I have only gone on two trips, one in 2024 and one in 2025. After researching the loans linked to my account I found that loan ************** was opened on 12/31/2024 and added to my account. But I purchased our flights on 2/25/25 loan ID ************. Whoever entered the fraudulent loan ************** actually took the time to go back and attach the same flight information for my flights that I purchased on 2/25/25. I have only flown Frontier one time - with the flights on purchased on 2/25/25. And I have only flown with the group of people noted in my 2/25/25 loan - one time. I have reached out to Uplift numerous times stating that I wanted the fraudulent loan removed and the money I have paid on it reimbursed. I'm currently up to $501.72 in payments that I want reimbursed and would like the fraudulent loan removed from my account. They have only responded one time and I will include in my documentation.

    I don't understand why nobody sees that the second purchase for Frontier flights is fraudulent.  Would you PLEASE look at the documentation and Uplift / Flexpay needs to look at their own records.  The second purchase that notes it is for Frontier is using the exact same information that is on the legitimate loan that was taken out first.  Someone added the second purchase to my account and simply copy and pasted my flight information from the first flight.  The second loan is fraudulent and shouldn't have been added to my account.  I don't understand why nobody is taking the time to research both purchases to see that the second loan is fraudulent.  Someone should be taking the time to review that second loan for Frontier and following the trail to see who added it to my account.

    The second Frontier loan is 100% fraudulent.  This is NOT my loan.  I have provided more than sufficient information from Frontier, stating that I have only purchased flights and flown with them ONE TIME.  To screen shots from the Uplift account showing that the information on the second Frontier loan was copied from the legitimate loan.

    Sincerely,

    **** *******

    Account: ****************** 649321XX $0.00 This complaint is against Uplift, Inc. regarding their continued reporting of a closed account with a $0.00 balance under account number ********. While there may be no remaining balance, the presence of this tradeline, especially if derogatory or marked as negative, is unjustified and continues to damage my credit profile unnecessarily. I have disputed this account with both ********************** and the credit bureaus multiple times, yet no meaningful resolution has been provided. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e(b), credit furnishers and bureaus must ensure maximum possible accuracy, and under 1681i, they are required to respond with evidence upon dispute. Uplift has failed to meet both obligations. Moreover, considering the frequency of data breaches and their role in the mishandling of consumer data, I believe this account may have been misreported in error. Uplift has not provided any explanation or correction, and their handling of the situation has been insufficient at best. I request that this account be immediately removed from all consumer credit reports, as it no longer serves any valid reporting purpose and may have originated due to inaccurate data usage.
