    To Whom It May Concern,

    I am writing to follow up regarding my unresolved complaint with Deferit. Despite an email from the company two weeks ago stating that they would escalate the matter, I have yet to receive any resolution. In the meantime, they continue to report negative information on my credit report, despite my numerous attempts to address the issue.

    Deferit has provided me with conflicting information about the account, including initially stating who holds the account and now failing to provide any information at all. Last week, I sent a follow-up email to their Escalations Manager requesting that the matter be resolved before the close of 2024, but I have not received a response.

    If Deferit no longer holds the account, I am formally requesting that this issue be resolved and the negative information removed from my credit report immediately.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue.

    Sincerely,

    ***** **************




    Sincerely,

    Deferit has mishandled my account and been unresponsive for over a week. My account is locked, and despite repeated attempts to contact them, they have not resolved the issue or communicated effectively.Deferit is demanding I email a photo of my credit card and a selfie with my drivers license to unlock my account. This request is extremely concerning because email is not secure, and sending sensitive information this way puts me at risk of identity theft or fraud. When I raised my concerns, they claimed my case was escalated, but they stopped responding. Although they claim to reply within 24 hours, it has been days since I heard *********** payment is now overdue because of their delays, and this will likely harm my credit score. Deferits lack of urgency and disregard for their customers concerns is unacceptable.I am asking the BBB for assistance. I want Deferit to unlock my account immediately without requiring me to send sensitive information through insecure email. Their unresponsiveness and poor handling of this situation have caused unnecessary stress and financial risk, and I hope the BBB can hold them accountable.

I was told I was approved for 500 before adding the subscription but once added and into the system I was only approved for 100 with 40$ deposit FOR 3 months on each time I pay . This company is a scam and its scary that it working as a LEGIT scam . I was a refund for my account it was not open for more than 24 hours I have been requesting a refund and was given a automated email response I just want my refund for the subscription times are very hard and I can barely afford my rent so I need my 30$ it can be used for the bill instead of the *** please this is my 6th email to this company I just want my refund I never used your service it was started NOV 6TH 2024 and ended the same day I need my refund PLEASE
