    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    -Date: 04/02/2024 -I tried to use Zip pay to break up a bill in the amount of $156.26, which would be $39.07 every 2 weeks over 4 payments. Zip charged me $928.65 and charged an initial down payment amount of $442.65, which caused me to get an insufficient funds charge through my bank of $32. I tried to reach out to Zip on their messaging sight, and I'm not sure if it was an AI bot, but they were very unhelpful and just restated that the amount charged was $928.65 and that one the payment actually processes they can reimburse the amount not spent within 13 days. This is absolutely inexcusable! They should have charged $39.07 and they charged $442.65 and then have 3 more payments set to charge $164, when the original actual bill I was paying was only $156.26. I feel like they fraudulently overcharge customers to use those funds for other customers zip payments and then reimburse them back when they overcharge the next person and the cycle repeats. I did file a fraud charge with my bank as the amount they pulled was fraudulently taken, and I'm hoping they can resolve it if Zip doesn't. I need this money back in my account ASAP as I have other bills paid and now have "hot" checks floating about. At this point, I want a full refund and I will pay the bill on my own or a immediate credit adjustment to charge charge $39.07 over the next 3 payments and reimburse me back $403.58 ASAP.

    Received several nonstop calls from Zip in regards to charges trying to be made to my account which I declined. Checked my email and was charged over $800 with similar increments of a $200+ purchase from Target that I did not make. I immediately contacted Zip to escalate the issue because I had not made any purchases through Zip for awhile and my bank account was being drained because someone was completing purchases. I have no one that has access to my account and have sent over my bank account statements to ********************** showing these purchases including my Target in store and online purchases from my account and they could not find fraud even though it was suspicious activity as is with multiple charges all at the same time. I even mentioned that they need to look into the logged calls of Zip asking if I denied those purchases because they were not authorized through their automatic system. Zip security investigation continuously asked my for my bank statement which I sent over and over again and they ended with could not find fraud. I have never had issues with AfterPay, Klarna or Affirm from using it but clearly Zip Security is non existent and they take 0 ownership for their lack of security or mistakes. I am livid from this process and will continue to share that Zip Is not a trusted business/system.
