    My problem is that I purchased a phone from ********. I put a down payment on my credit card and told them they could take out $50 every 2 weeks. The phone that I purchased was a little less than $400 and I was given a case for free from the representatives of ********. I did sign I did sign a consent form for bi-weekly payments of $50. I started to notice even when I thought the phone would have been paid off a while ago I was still being charged. Since I paid with my credit card I could see a company called SmartPay leasing and it had the phone number also so I contacted them. I asked them why I was still paying for a phone that was less than $400 and I had put a down payment too. I did not know anything about this company until I seen them withdrawing money from my credit card. When I spoke to the representative she said the phone was not the price that I thought it was and they also were charging for the case that I was getting free from ***** ***
    The next thing that she informed me of was the reason that even though I had made payments for over a year that I had to pay a $500 finance charge. I never signed any paperwork saying I would pay a $500 finance charge for a phone that was supposed to be a little less than $400. The paperwork I filled out at ***** *** was a paper stating they had my permission to withdraw $50 bi-weekly from my credit card there was no mention of a 500 dollar finance charge. She stated she would send me the contract through my email. When I received the contract it did not have my signature but it had my name typed in. I trusted ******** and the paper I signed for withdrawing money from the credit card I had given them to take out bi-weekly payments and as well as I believe $100 down payment. I am glad I looked into my credit card statements and found out that ******** was not taking the payments out but it was smart pay leasing. I am trying to make other customers of ***** *** to look into any arrangements where they take money from your account or your credit card. At first I wasn't paying attention to the payments coming out. After a while I seen where SmartPay was still taking out money and it had been over a year and a half since I got the phone from them. I truly feel betrayed by a company that I thought I could trust
    Besides making this to help other consumers be aware. I would also like to receive the money back that they had taken out of my account which was not what was agreed upon. When I say agreed upon I mean I never agreed to paying a $500 finance fee. When I saw the the supposed contract she sent me was
    I was looking for a signature because I never signed a contract that would have a $500 finance charge for a phone that was less than $400 and I gave them a down payment of $100. I would like to get the money that they overcharged me because I believe and I know I didn't ever see the contract she sent me and it hadn't been signed by me. Like I said previously my name was typed in on the signature line.

According to SmartPay records an initial payment of $98.10 was made on 8/19/2021. This payment is shown on the lease agreement.

    I received a notification from my credit agency that a debt collection has been issued on my credit. The debt collection states that I owed S1192.00 for a lease agreement with SmartPay Leasing. I have never used or heard of SmartPay Leasing. SmartPay Leasing signed an agreement with someone and did not verify their identity. This is fraud. I have all my credit accounts frozen, locked, and a fraud alert for the last 5 years. There should have been no way for someone to have successfully use my identity if SmartPay would have contacted the credit bureaus or contacted me. I have contacted all the credit bureaus and filed a report with the FTC. I will be following up with the debt collector. This blatant lack of identity verification has dramatically affected my credit. Now I have to deal with a serious problem that should have never happened. I have read similar complaints on BBB. Seems like SmartPay has not fixed their problems. Shame

    I bought a ****** 13 Pro Max at ******** **** with smart pay. After placing the order I immediately got a confirmation order from smart pay, but not from ******** ****.

    I have been leasing from SmartPay LLC for the past 15 months. The agreed upon payment date was the 5th of each month. They have arbitrarily decided to move my due date to the 30th of each month.

    I am on social security disability and don't get paid on the 3rd of each month. This is why the agreed upon due date was set to the 5th. I don't have money in my account at the end of the month.

    My mobile phone carrier is *******. Even though I have days left on my ******* account, SmartPay keeps shutting my phone off.

    I have spent over three hours on the phone with SmartPay trying to get my phone turned back on. The last conversation, they told me I had to "file a claim" to get my due date back to the lease agreement date.

    So I did this, the case number is **************. After filing a "claim" SmartPay sent me an email and told me to call their 800 number. They did not fix my due date.

    Please help me with this matter. I've already paid them $1, 200 towards my phone.

    Thank you,

    To Whom It May Concern: 

    We want to thank *** **** **** for contacting SmartPay regarding her lease. We understand that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of her lease. We completed an investigation into the matter and advise per *** ****** lease agreement her payments are due every 30 days beginning on 11/05/2021, so not every payment would fall on the 5th. *** ****** first 7 payments were made on time with payments being due on 11/5/2021, 12/05/2021, 01/04/2022, 2/03/2022, 3/05/2022, 4/04/2022 and 5/04/2022. Payment # 8 was due on 6/03/2022 but wasn't made until 6/6/2022. The next 2 payments were made on time per the lease 7/3/2022 and 8/2/2022. On 8/2/2022 *** **** called into Customer Support to request to move her payments. It was explained the payments are due per her lease agreement and payments cannot be moved while the lease is open, but there is a 3 day grace period after the payment is due before service interruption happens. It was also explained she could call each month 2 days before her due date to make a promise to pay. On 9/01/2022 *** ****** next payment was due, but it was not made until 9/02/2022. The payment due on 10/01/2022 was made on time per her lease agreement. The next payment was due 10/31/2022. *** **** emailed on 10/07/2022 and requested all remaining payments be moved to the 4th of each month. A response was sent directing *** **** to call into Customer Support to speak with an agent regarding her due dates. Again on 10/31/2022, which was her due date, *** **** called Customer Support requesting the remainder of her payments be moved to the 5th of the month. Again it was explained payments cannot be moved, but there is a 3 day grace period before service interruption and *** **** can call in 2 days before her due date to make a promise to pay. The payment for 10/31/2022 was paid on 11/03/2022. Again *** **** called on 11/14 requesting her payments be moved and again the same information was provided to her. The next payment was due on 11/30/2022. On that day *** **** called in again, and it was explained due dates cannot be moved. Her payment was not made until 12/6/2022.

    As we have stated through both calls and emails payment due dates cannot be moved from the dates stated in the lease agreement. There will be a 3 day grace period after each payment is due before any service interruption occurs. *** **** is more than welcome to call in at lease 2 days before her due date each time and make a promise to pay for the 4th, but service interruption could occur if outside the 3 day grace period. The lease has been attached and the due date information has been highlighted.

    I bought a cellphone from ******** and they had me use SmartPay to lease the phone on payments, I was told that my total cost would be somewhere in the $600 range, just to now be told after the fact that SmartPay charges a fee of almost $500 just to use their service, I was completely unaware of this fee and I had been told that there were no extra fees at the time of purchase, so my $600 turned into almost $1200 entirely unpronounced. And when I call the business to ask about it, they said that I had already signed a contract and that regardless of if i was told or not that there would be no refund, even if I gave the phone back, which I'm willing to do. They are completely scamming me out of my money.

We completed an investigation into the matter and advise after reviewing the account *** ******** spoke with a SmartPay Customer Support agent on 12/4/2022. During that call the terms of the lease were reviewed, along with the overdue balance, and the payoff amount was quoted. The agent also quoted a settlement offer to *** ********. He declined the offer. 

    *** ********** lease was originated on 8/23/2022 so he is outside the normal return window with the store, but he can call Customer Support and we would be happy to accept a return. No refund will be issued.

    5/29/2021 for 65.20, 6/28/2021 for 65.20, 7/28/2021 for 65.20, 8/27/2021 for 65.20, 9/26/2021 for 65.20, 12/26/2021 for 54.99, 6/6/2022 for 65.20, 7/04/2022 65.20, 12/01/2022 for 65.20. Smart pay was charging me for monthly phone bills along with the payment for the phone. I have always used ***** ******** also known as ***** ** ******* to pay my bill every month because I was never told any different. So for our 2 lines which should be no more than 65.00 dollars a month I have been charged by both companies every month paying an average of 125.20. I called both companies and out of all those months I was only reimbersed 2 months. Someone owes me money and Smart pay is not willing to budge. I do have more documents through the bank that I can try to obtain but that account has since been closed.

    I received a debt collection notice in mail stating that I had not paid Smart Pay Leasing for a lease/ purchase agreement in amount of $1,187.43. The collector said the debt was for a cell phone. I have never heard of Smart Pay Leasing and I never bought an ****** through them. When I asked collector if there was a signature on the agreementI they said there was no signature on it. I have filed an identity theft/fraud case with my city police and I will also file one with FTC. When I disputed debt with collector they said along with copy of police report I needed to provide copy of my driver’s license. I asked why a copy of my license was required. I was told Smart Pay Leasing required it. I think this Smart Pay Leasing is scamming for personal identity data as well as fraudulently trying to get money. I not the first person to report this experience to BBB.

    I put an application in for an ****** from smartpay it was approved for 1000.00 but the phone was less than 1000.00 however my application was canceled I called and they said they would refund my money back which they haven’t from November 5 I called my bank several times they said it was pending I said ok than I called them today November 23 they gave me a reference number to call my bank to get my refund back. The number was invalid I called smart pay they said they refund my money back I had my bank on the other phone and my bank said they never did they attempted to but never completed . My bank has a statement that showed I paid 91.36 thinking I was going to get a brand new phone instead my application was canceled. And smart pay supposed to refund my money back which clearly shows they did not refund me back my money. I will forward any documents to you later. Cause I plan on filing a report
