    My fiancee and I signed up for Flex's rent pay service with our apartment complex. We only signed up for the month of December, 2024. We had an issue with the complex changing ownership that was unrelated to our issue with Flex, though it was the reason why we were short on money to pay our rent, and needed time to get the money to pay the rest. We made an initial bulk payment of what we could afford, and opted for a single payment of roughly $300 that would include our service fees later in the month. Our understanding of the contract was that Flex would pay our rent in full upon receiving that initial payment. They only paid our apartment complex the amount of the initial payment to them, and we were assessed a late fee penalty as a result. Luckily for us, our complex's new ownership was understanding, and we spoke to the regional manager, once they saw the issue, they reversed the late fee, and since we had already paid it, it was applied as credit to our rent in January. As far as I know, my fiancee says she never reached out via support email, despite my urging; her name is the one on the account, and I can provide her information if needed, or you can likewise reach out to her directly once I tell you who she is. Why should another company have to fix Flex's mistake? Why were we charged service fees for a service we never actually received? Even if it was small, it's principle.

    In December of 2024 I added 800 dollars to my flex app flex funds. It did not say that there was a certain limit on deposits and withdraws. I withdrew money 3 times in December. I went to take out the 235 dollars so I could use it to pay my rent in person. Flex said I couldn't get my money out until Jan 4th 2025. On Jan 24th 2025 I attempted to withdraw the money at which time I was told "you cannot withdraw until Jan 4th 2025." Eventually it would add more days saying I can't take the money out until Jan 12th, and then Jan 24th. I am not currently using flex to pay my rent and I want to deactivate my account but not without my money back as these are supposedly "my money I can move in and out as I wish." After much complaining and attempts to contact a live person I have been ****************** is Jan 5th and I wake up to see the flex app says they returned 200, and then 35 dollars to my account (chime card) however my chime app says this didn't happen. I was easily able to speak to a chime representative who assured me that the money is not being returned.I have been robbed of 235 dollars

    Flex has no contact number. All inquiries must be made by submitting a ticket. I submitted a ticket, and my landlord emailed before the day and time to split the rent, due to a technical error on Flex's part that showed my rent as $0. They didn't respond until after the payment window and said it was too late to accept payments, and that it was my fault, even with proof of the timestamped technical issues.I attempted the first on December 5th at 11am and the second time today on January 2nd.I'm constantly given the run around until it's passed the payment window-- 1pm on the 5th of the month-- and then they say it's my fault and it's too late to help me. I'm paying a monthly fee for a business that is not functioning as it should.

    Around October we signed up for Flex. After that we decided to just go the the apartments itself to pay rent and did a promise to pay. We have always paid rent to the apartments directly. On November 12, 2024 a payment was taken out. We disputed it with the bank and had to get a new bank card. We have since left those apartments as of 11/30/24, when we left we made sure there was no remaining balance. We contacted flex and told the customer support to cancel our account and she informed us the auto pay was off. On 12/31/24 $479 was taken out of the bank account again. With a new card this should not have happened. My partner contacted the **** and has put in another claim. Now our only resolution is to close that bank account completely to make sure this does not happen again. The bank may not refund the amount due to this being the same issue twice. I would just like to have this reported and let them know this company has some severe issues. First one is not having a customer service line to call, only online chat and emails. Trying to get through to anyone to have an issue resolved is a nightmare.

    Ive used Flex rent for a few months and didnt have any issues until this month. My rent is due on the 1st but on the Flex app, it says rent will be paid on the 5th. Why would Flex think its okay to pay rent late? I ended up just cancelling and paying the full amount myself. I didnt bother to try and reach out to support because it is nonexistent. All you can do is submit tickets. Why isnt there 24/7 support when rent being paid on time with no issues is critical so people dont get evicted? This company is a sham.

    On December 4th 2024, I tried to use the company I know as FLEX to spilt my rent ($930) into two payments. This what the company services are. On December 5th, at 1:00am I received an email that Flex was having technical issues processing my payment of $484.80 to my account. At 6:30am I checked my account and seen nothing had went through. I emailed Flex because it is the only way customers can get in contact with a customer service representative. There is no number to call. I emailed about this email I received at 1:00am. No response, checked my account again at 8:15am to see if the payment had been taken out and seen it hadnt and I knew from using the services in September that I had until 3:00pm to get the payment processed before I could not receive the split. I checked my account for ********************** and seen it was pending payment. On December 6th, I received an email that flex did not split the rent. Per the bank, flex sent in December 4th and 5th $0.00 process check and a $14.99 debit for flex membership. Nothing was pulled for the rent. I emailed and emailed flex to verify that and ask what happened. December 9th, my apartment manager sent a text saying they needed me to put in a flex account check into my rent portal for flex to split my rent. I didnt understand but I did it to get my rent split and no have to pay a late fee. I received an email on December 12th at 5:45am from a representative that the deadline passed and Flex did not cover the rent. On December 15th, my apartments sent an email and text I had received a return check fee and a late fee and that flex rejected my spilt rent on December 9th. Promised by several representatives from flex I would receive a refund for their mistake on December 12th. Flex deposited the refund December 24th into a closed account and refused to deposit the refund for the late fee and returned check into the correct account. ********************** had the correct account information.

    This matter has not been resolved. Flex should look for payment of 650.00 in addition to recent payment of 159.00 to settle debt . ****** ******* was sold was listed under another company prior to selling to ****** ******* Boca assets. Company previously was listed as Boc mercury portfolio , Boc mercury portfolio holdings llc , Boca Assest so they should locate the ledgers for this entities . Debt is work . They are incorrect.

The second payment of $500 was originally scheduled for 9/15/2023 but was not successfully processed. Flex attempted to process the outstanding balance multiple times but was unsuccessful. Their outstanding balance of $500 was referred to collections RevX where they made a payment of $150.99, which leaves a remaining balance of $349.01.
