      I had a loan with republic finance in new albany mississippi, it was not in default, I paid the loan off early, it was post marked June 13th and the payment was not due until July 1st. I had this $250 payment set up to be automatically withdrawn from my banking account. Paid in full over a week in advance... another payment was withdrawn from my account causing my account to be over drawn and myself charged with an overdraft fee of $36.00. When I called republic finance and brought this to their attention the first response I received was that I could come into their buisness location and get a refund whenever I wanted. The second response I got was that they couldn't issue my refund until the 27 of July and they're only sending me $192 of the $250 (+ $36.00 over draft)the withdrew from my account.

      I'm not liable for this debt with Republic Finance. It was sold to another party and was settled. They did not provide me with the original contract and Republic Finance needs to remove it's tag from my credit report. My next course of action will be to take this up with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

      Dear BBB Complaint Department:

      Thank you for
      your correspondence dated July 11, 2023. It is our goal at Republic Finance,
      LLC (“Republic Finance”) to provide excellent service and we
      welcome the opportunity to address the concerns of our customers. Please allow

      left all personal identifying information, including the consumer’s name, out
      of this response. Instead, we refer to the consumer as “the Consumer.”

      Republic
      Finance immediately reviewed the Consumer’s statements made therein. Under the
      Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), Republic Finance is obligated to
      investigate credit disputes that are complete and meet certain
      requirements.  According to the FCRA, a
      dispute notice is complete when it is submitted in writing directly to the creditor
      (i.e., not through a private, non-profit organization such as the BBB) and
      includes the following: (1) sufficient information to identify the account in
      dispute (e.g., consumer's full name, address, telephone number, and account
      number); (2) the specific information that is being disputed and an explanation
      of the basis for the dispute; and (3) all supporting documentation or
      information to substantiate the dispute, to the extent available (e.g., a copy
      of the relevant portion of the consumer report that contains the allegedly inaccurate
      information, a police report, a fraud or identity theft affidavit, a court
      order, or account statements). Therefore, Republic Finance has determined the Consumer’s
      credit dispute is incomplete because it does not meet all of the three
      afore-mentioned requirements.  If the Consumer
      has any additional information to satisfy the requirements set forth above, she
      is welcomed to submit a complete dispute notice directly to: Republic Finance,
      LLC, Attn: Credit Dispute Team, 7031 Commerce Circle, Suite 100, Baton Rouge,
      LA 70809-1394.  Upon receipt of the Consumer’s
      complete dispute notice, Republic Finance will investigate the dispute, correct
      any inaccuracies that may be discovered, and report back to him.

      you have any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact

      I am experiencing a financial hardship and requested that this company turn off my autopay. Which they obliged, with my last payment being made to them in February 2023. I am currently working with ******** **** ****** and making payments to them in order to settle my outstanding debt.

      On 06/14/2023 I logged into my bank account to see a $220 charge from Republic Finance. I contact my banking institution which advised me that the charge was a debit card transaction.

      I have not spoken with Republic Finance since February/March 2023, when I requested to have the autopay cancelled. ******** **** ****** advises not to contact any debtors and allow them [NDR] to. When I was on autopay it was ACH, not through my debit card.

      I don't understand how a company can take it upon themselves to charge an account without authorization, specifically using a POS transaction. This is a Regulation E violation, and the company should be fined for unsavory business practices.

      I took out a loan with Republic Finance in 2018. I defaulted on payments for over a year. I then started working with a debt consolidation company and resumed payments again. After not finding the debt consolidation company beneficial I withdrew and contacted Republic directly to settle the account. They said I had legal proceedings active and they couldn’t help. I informed I never received any of the paperwork they were referring to as I had moved twice and no longer lived at the same address. I called several more times during various months and continued to her the same response.

      Today I called and a representative told me the same thing, they couldn’t help but she said she’d connect me to the branch that I did the loan through I spoke with Conner the Roswell branch manager and asked for a settlement and told him I was willing to pay 2,000 today to have it closed and deleted. He advised me he would have to get an RVP approval for that amount and he would call me back in an hour. 4 hours went by so I called the branch back and was advised the manager had left for the day and he wouldn’t be back until Tuesday. I just want to settle the account and be done. I’ve never had to chase a company down like this just to finally pay them. I want these resolved immediately so I can move on and be done.

      My account had been paid in full on more than one occasion. I’m asking that a few late payments be removed from my credit file to help me going forward with a purchase. They were paid in full along with any late payments that were required. I’m asking for a Goodwill deletion of the late payments.

      requirements.  According to the FCRA, a
      dispute notice is complete when it is submitted in writing directly to the
      creditor (i.e., not through a private, non-profit organization such as the BBB)
      and includes the following: (1) sufficient information to identify the account
      in dispute (e.g., consumer's full name, address, telephone number, and account
      number); (2) the specific information that is being disputed and an explanation
      of the basis for the dispute; and (3) all supporting documentation or
      information to substantiate the dispute, to the extent available (e.g., a copy
      of the relevant portion of the consumer report that contains the allegedly
      inaccurate information, a police report, a fraud or identity theft affidavit, a
      court order, or account statements). Therefore, Republic Finance has determined
      the Consumer’s credit dispute is incomplete because it does not meet all of the
      three afore-mentioned requirements.  If the
      Consumer has any additional information to satisfy the requirements set forth
      above, he is welcomed to submit a complete dispute notice directly to: Republic
      Finance, LLC, Attn: Credit Dispute Team, 7031 Commerce Circle, Suite 100, Baton
      Rouge, LA 70809-1394.  Upon receipt of the
      Consumer’s complete dispute notice, Republic Finance will investigate the
      dispute, correct any inaccuracies that may be discovered, and report back to him.

                    If
      you have any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact
      me.

      Complaint: 20068685



      I am rejecting this response because:
      I’m sorry, I thought you had all the information. I am asking for a goodwill deletion of late payments on my account. I had several loans and always paid them on time. This case I was out of work due to injury and was paying what I could until it was paid in full like all the loans I received. You guys always worked with me so I was just asking. I was going to send direct but you don’t show email addresses in website. My address I had when I was dealing with you was :

      Greenville, SC 29609

      Phone: 864-245-2194.

      Unanswered:

      Unpursuable:
      BBB is unable to locate the business.
      I obtain a loan 9 months ago for $8000, have been paying $309 every month, and I was told today, I still owe $8000. I was told $148 goes to interest and the rest towards principal, yet I do not see that reflected in my loan. So is RF scamming customers it knows a desperate for money or are they not practicing fair lending?
