    Signed up for Smart Pay Rewards with Turkey Hill. Did not understand that in order to receive a discount on gas I had to enter my bank account number. Instead I entered my debit card number so they decided to say that the payment was returned because the account was closed. I called them and said that they checking account that they tried to use from years before when I belonged to Smart Pay was closed years ago. They said that it does not matter I need to pay $50.00 on top of the $15.07 in gas that I used. I am going to cancel my Smart Rewards App because I think that this is a rip off and a scam.

    Customer can only use a bank account information to receive discounts on gas.  The customer agreed to all terms and conditions including return fees when signing up for the program.  We are unable to issue a credit for the amount due.

    Received a call on Monday saying I had 2 charges that didnt go through and as such, would need to pay said charges plus an additional $30 fee for each. I told the person on the phone I cant pay just yet and they mentioned they could hold my card on file and then charge me on Friday. I agreed and gave them my info.Checking my bank account the day after (Tuesday) and both $30 fees have already been charged, causing me to overdraft. If you receive a call from these scammers and they ask for a credit card, say no and call back on your own. Do not trust them, theyre incredibly deceptive.

    The charges that the customer received from someone other than REMOVED.  Our name would appear with our phone number in the description.  I assume these were NSF fees by his bank or a different processor.

    CheckRedi recently contacted me regarding a failed payment and claimed they had made numerous attempts to reach me via SMS, email, and phone calls. However, during a phone call with one of their supervisors, I was informed that their SMS messages were being rejected by REMOVEDas spam, and their emails were not being delivered either.Despite this, they continued to insist that they had contacted me multiple times. They also claimed to have called me, but I have no record of any missed calls from CheckRedi on my phone. No voicemails were left either.If CheckRedi had clear evidence that their messages werent being delivered, and their phone calls never actually reached me, then stating they had "made multiple attempts to contact me" is misleading at best. I was unaware of the payment issue until they finally spoke to me directly.I am requesting that CheckRedi take responsibility for their failed communication efforts, stop claiming false outreach, and remove any penalties or negative consequences caused by this miscommunication.

    I am contacting BBB because this is the collection agency used by REMOVED. I paid Smaetpay through and app and because I knew my bank account closed, I used a credit card which they are now saying is not an acceptable method of payment for their rewards. The customer service represe tative from creditredi even said it is deceptive and that it shpuld be explained better that you can only change payment methods by calling them. Now they are asking to me to pay the money of how much gas I received from TurkeyHill via Smartpay as well as a 30 dollar fee which I do not agree should be charged with a compamy that is being deceptive to its consumers. Now REMOVEDalso will not delete my new banking information from their records even after being asked directly too. I am unsure which company I should write this under so will be using this message for both businesses (SmartPay and CreditRedi) even though they work in accordance with each other.

    Complaint: 22571424

    I am rejecting this response because: the option on the app is very misleading causimg people to believe they are adding a different payment method when you are not actually adding it to pay for gas with it. Seems dishonest to your own customers. Also, I feel there is no reason to not take off my new banking information as verbally requested since you wpuld have never had it if I did not give it to you and a customer service REMOVEDsaid you could not do so

    Sincerely,

    REMOVED

    We have nothing to do with the design of the app.

    For $33 in transactions that were returned due to banking issues the organization is charging an additional $150 in fees to get the account resolved. More disturbing is the constant harassment by this organization. The company has called and texted on a daily basis - even after I called to schedule a payment to resolve the issue. I have provided the most recent text which happened a full day after payment was scheduled to resolve the issue. The harassment is pathetic over a few dollars. This company should be ashamed of themselves for how they conduct business. The harassment is ridiculous.

    All communications have been ceased since 10/31/24 since the customer postdated a payment for 11/5/24.  As long as this payment clears the bank on the 5th so further communication will take place.  We will not be issuing any refunds since the customer truly owes this money.  They did the transactions, and they returned by their bank unpaid.  All fees are agreed to in the terms and conditions.  The balance is $183.12 and is expected to process on or after 11/5/24.  Please ensure funds are available for this to clear.

    This company left me a voicemail asking me to call them back but left no additional information or details. I had never heard of them and the phone number is from a different state so I deleted the message and didn't think anything of it. The next day I received a text message from them (different phone number) saying to respond with "Payment" to settle my account or to call a different number to speak with an agent regarding my child's school (they named the school) checking account. I do not have a checking account with the school and do not owe the school any money. When I reached out on the company's website chat feature, the representative was extremely rude and refused to give me any information. They kept asking me to provide details on my account although I told them I did not have an account with them, I did not know who they were and I would not be providing any of my personal information to a company I had never heard of. I told the representative I had only been contacted by their company via voicemail and text message and I did not know who they were. They told me I was on their website, so that should tell me who they are and I needed to provide my information. Extremely unprofessional and not a company I would ever want to do business with. They really need to reevaluate how they contact individuals and work on their employee training.

    Please see attached copy of the returned check in your name for $140.00 in reference to REMOVEDafter school program.  All returned checks carry a $30.00 state allowed NSF fee therefore your balance is $170.00

    Basically, a group of scammers trying to rip you off unlawfully by adding extra fees for not adding a bank account information in a timely manner which leads to pushing a payment back by the bank.

    (8/02/2024) REMOVEDis straight up crooks. They had an issue with my bank because they didnt charge my bank until an entire week later so of course my bank would flag it and bounce it back. I contacted them back about paying whatever they said i owed ($84.73) and they stacked on their own $50 for THEIR ERROR, i contacted them but of course there was no reply when i asked Why should i pay for an error you made? And absolutely no reply, then they charge my bank account with their extra $50 why couldnt you bozos do that in the first place? REMOVEDis a straight up vulture company; stacking unreasonable fees for their mistakes. How pathetic is a company they cant even explain why the charge makes sense. Ill be sure to spread the word and never touch anything that has business with CHECKredi. It may be hard to make sure i never do business with CHECKredi buuuut its one thousand percent worth it so you dont get straight up robbed with no explanation as to why i was paying for their error. ZERO STARS, THE ABSOLUTE WORST.

    Please close this as being outside the scope of the BBB. Customer agreed to terms and conditions outlining all fees and the amount of time it takes for an item to clear the bank. Its an electronic check not a direct debit.

    I received a NSF fee for a transaction made on 05/03/2024, the transaction was allegedly returned by my bank, which doesn't make sense as I had deposited a check into my bank account the previous day, and the check cleared Friday, a few minutes past midnight or so. So what ever problem you guys had between my bank is not my problem. I would like the fee back since I didn't violate any terms and conditions. This was a banking error between your bank and my bank.

    Customer needs to take this dispute up with their bank.  There will be no refunds issued on our side due to the terms and conditions that were agreed upon.
