Brigit took a full subscription cost ($8.99) in order to process a cash advance. It wouldn't let me close the account within a trial period because it processes payments via ACH. They then informed me upon trying to cancel my subscription, that they would still charge me "at the end of the billing cycle" on March 28.Since money was taken from my account on February 28th, and given the statement about processing charges at the end of the payment cycle, they have failed to render the services for which they took my money (the full month prior to my initating the advance).I'm requesting assistance in recouping the money that was taken from my account or stopping the payment they intend to take on March 28th, and deleting all personal data (including accounts) from the service Brigit hosts.Not being able to opt-out of a paid subscription service within the month you've already paid the full cost for seems predatory at the least.Business Response

This customer signed up for a ******************** Plus subscription (at $8.99 per month) on February 22, 2025 and canceled on March 2 2025, with a final fee due on March 28, 2025. Unlike most subscription companies (e.g., *******, etc.), Brigit does not charge a consumer upfront or at the beginning of the subscription period. Instead, Brigit charges the customer at the end of the billing periodaligned with the customer's last paycheck of the month. When a customer cancels their subscription, the customer is charged for the current (and final) billing period. That charge falls on or after the cancellation date, on the date their subscription was originally due. The customer does not incur any subscription charges for the following month.
Since the customer enrolled in their subscription on February 22, 2025 and canceled on March 2, 2025, all fees charged between these dates are correct. However, as a courtesy, we have skipped this customer's last subscription fee that was listed due for March 28, 2025. With this customer's subscription now canceled, they will not be charged going forward. Upon receipt of this complaint, we also deleted this customer's account on March 3, 2025.
Please be advised that all customers can cancel their subscriptions at any time in the Brigit app, through the web, or by reaching out to our **************** team, who is available 7 days a week.

I do not have a Brigit account, nor have I ever had a Brigit account. I have been receiving dozens of texts a month from Brigit often claiming my account is in the negative. I have tried resolving this with Brigit by reaching out to the customer service. There is no phone number to reach them; only chat bot or email. They claiming my number isnt in their records at first, but I sent them screenshots shots of the harassing texts. They said tech support found my number and removed it, but I am STILL getting dozens of texts. I filed a complaint with the **** and the ***.Business Response

They do a borrowing system and Ive borrowed $50 multiple times and have paid it back.. the last $50 I borrowed they took it out of my account and I just recently got back on the app and it was still negative so I got ahold of them and they told me they sent the money back because it didnt work on their end supposedly. I went back to my bank statement and there was nothing returned. I contacted my bank and they even said get ahold of them you received nothing. Ive been emailing them and all they keep doing is changing dates or telling my it was sent to my bank. I have all the screenshots of my bank statements. The one photo is where I received the 50 and repaid it back. The other photo shows that I never received money from them because they said it was returned to my bank 11/15/24 and theres nothing.Business Response

Brigit is in receipt of BBB complaint ID ******** filed by ******* *********** regarding their Instant Cash advance.
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.
This customer has requested 3 Instant Cash advances of $50 but has only repaid 2 of them.
On September 12th 2024, this customer was sent $50. This advance had a due date of September 30th 2024 and this advance was paid early, by the customer, on September *********.
Their next advance of $50 was requested on September 18th, the same date they repaid their previous advance, and their new due date was September 26th. The customer paid this advance early, on September 25th, with the payment clearing the linked bank account on September 26th. The screenshot provided by the customer shows a payment made to ******************** on September 26th 2024, in the amount of $51.99, for their advance ($50 plus a $1.99 delivery fee) which is for their September 18th 2024 advance.
On September 25th 2024, this customer requested their 3rd advance and per transaction data directly from their bank, we can see that the advance arrived. This advance due date was October 3rd 2024, but a payment was not made and is still past due. We are providing a bank statement showing the advance arrived in the customer's bank account on September *********. Please note that this September 25th 2024 advance was not "returned" as understood by the customer. The payment on September 26th was for their September 18th advance, and their September 25th advance was not repaid.

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.
All customers can cancel their subscriptions at any time in the Brigit app, through the web, or by reaching out to our **************** team, who is available 7 days a week. Brigit provides information on how to cancel at the time the customer enrolls in a ******************** Plan, at all times in the customer's application, and on the ******************** website.
Unlike most subscription companies (e.g., *******, etc.), Brigit does not charge a consumer upfront or at the beginning of the subscription period. Instead, Brigit charges the customer at the end of the billing periodaligned with the customer's last paycheck of the month. When a customer cancels their subscription, the customer is charged for the current (and final) billing period.
Here, this customer signed up for a ******************** subscription on January 4th 2025 and canceled on January 26th 2025. This customer's one and only subscription fee was charged on January 24th 2025. With this customer's subscription now canceled, they will not be charged going forward.
Because NSF fee(s) were charged by the customer's bank, ******************** is not able to provide a credit for their fee. To try and help our customers avoid bank fees, their subscription due date is often tied to their listed income source's paydays. This due date is displayed at the time the customer signs up for a subscription or takes out an Instant Cash advance, at all times in the Brigit App, and in notifications sent to the customer prior to the transaction date. Our customer's can view their subscription fee due date in the app under Account Settings -> My subscription.

Brigit is in receipt of BBB complaint ID ******** filed by **** **** regarding an insufficient funds fee charged by their bank.
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.
This customer requested an Instant Cash advance on January 14th 2025. The due date assigned for the $50 Instant Cash repayment was set as January 28th 2025, which aligns with the customer's verified income source. This due date was provided to the customer at the time they requested the Instant Cash advance. The repayment date (and option to change it) is also displayed within their Brigit App as a reminder. Finally, the customer receives notifications alerting them about an upcoming repayment prior to the transaction date.
Likewise, this customer had a monthly Plus plan subscription fee of $8.99 due the same day, January 28th 2025. Again, this due date is displayed at the time the customer signs up, at all times in the ******************** App, and in notifications sent to the customer prior to the transaction date.
It would appear that this customer did not have the proper funds in their linked bank account upon the time of our repayments. Due to this, their bank charged them an *** fee. To try and help our customers avoid bank fees, we have our customers confirm their due date before they can request their advances. The customer must type in their due date to confirm they are aware of when we will begin our repayment. We also send a notification 48 hours before the due date to remind our customers that they have a payment upcoming. We do this so our customers have enough time to make payment date changes through the extension feature in the app or contact our ************* team to do a manual adjustment. Finally, customers can change their repayment date any time up to 3 days before the transaction date in order to avoid any overdrafts in their external account.
NSF fees are charged by the customer's bank and are a large part of how banks make money. Because the fee(s) were charged by this customer's bank, we're not able to provide a credit for their fee. Going forward, we encourage this customer to contact our ************* team several business days before their due date so that we can make the adjustment necessary to avoid any NSF fees being charged by the linked bank.

I cancelled my subscription with Brigit back in October 2024. I was not charged for November 2024 and even received a settlement from their most recent lawsuit. On 12/04/2024 I began getting emails from my bank that Brigit was trying to charge my account $5.99. I didnt have the funds as I was awaiting my pay day. They tried charging my account over ten times, this resulted in an overdraft fee in the amount of $31.94. I emailed and reached out to them multiple times with screenshots and facts. I never received a response. I logged into my old account to find out more and it showed they have ANOTHER supposed final payment for 12/27/24. This company is stealing and hoping people dont notice, but I did and I hope others do too.Business Response

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:I have reached out multiple times via email to the email address they have provided. They ignored me for days, and then stated that they cant look into the issue because I deleted my account. Their support team states that they cant look into my account now that it has been deleted which actually means that their response is a blatant lie and does not in fact resolve the issue. There are reasons this company has already undergone one lawsuit, I look forward to seeing them sink.

This company offers the option to borrow funds up until a certain pay period period i hadn't used them in quite some time because they require a subscription to utilize their service the thing as I hadn't used them in quite some time I was offered a period of not having to pay their 599 subscription fee however upon consolation they have continued to attempt to bill me for $5.99. I reached out to the company to see if anything could be done about the attempted withdrawal from my bank account however they let me know even though I hadn't used their resources because I didn't qualify because I hadn't canceled within a certain period of time they would have to bill me the 599 and that there was nothing that they could do about it. I never use their services again because I never qualified and still they are attempting to take the 599 out of my account. I'm reaching out to you all to see if there's anything that can be done this route.Business Response

This customer has signed up for ********************'s services multiple times: originally, from June 2020 through October 2020, and again from August 2022 through June 2023. The customer enrolled in a ******************** subscription for a third time on September 9th 2024 and canceled on October 29th 2024 - the period of time subject to this complaint.
At the time the customer signed up in September 2024, they agreed to a subscription fee of $5.99 per month. The enrollment process requires customers to navigate several screens of information, stating and reiterating the subscription plans details and costs. Prior to enrolling, the customer must expressly agree to the the plan terms by (1) checking a box stating they agree to the terms of service (which contain details about how the customer is required to pay their subscription fees and agreeing to allow Brigit to charge those fees to the bank account the customer actively connects to their ******************** account), and (2) clicking "confirm" twice, on two different screens, to complete the enrollment process. This customer has now undergone this enrollment process, and seen subscription fee and payment details, on three (3) separate occasions, providing plenty of notice about the payment requirements and cancellation methods for avoiding those charges.
Brigit attempted to process this customer's payments in accordance with these terms to which the customer agreed. It's worth noting that despite actively enrolling in a Brigit plan after agreeing to these terms of service for a third time, the customer never paid any of their monthly subscription fees - the payment attempt failed every time until the customer's subscription was cancelled on October 29th, 2024. In other words, this customer paid $0 for 2 months of service.
Brigit understands that the customer was not pleased with their ineligibility for the Instant Cash product, offered as part of the Brigit Plan the customer signed up for. However, ******************** informs the customer about their eligibility status for Instant Cash prior to enrolling in a Brigit Plan subscription. This customer was presented with this eligibility status (or ineligibility) multiple times prior to enrolling in the Brigit Plan, allowing the customer to avoid any charges associated with the plan. The customer chose to enroll in a plan for the third time anyways.
Additionally, Instant Cash is not the only product available under the customer's ******************** Plan - ******************** also offers Credit Monitoring, ************************************ and Budgeting tools, and a marketplace suite of offers for customers to obtain financial services/products or gig work through affiliate partners. All of these features were also available to the customer even if they did not qualify for Instant Cash, ensuring the customer received value for their subscription fee.
Please be advised that all customers can cancel their subscriptions at any time (to avoid future subscription fee charges) in the Brigit app, through the web or by reaching out to our **************** team, who is available 7 days a week. This customer did so on October 29th, 2024.
Brigit trusts that the information provided is sufficient to close this complaint. If this customer has additional questions or concerns they are invited to contact Brigit directly at ****************************************************************************;
