Charged interest and annual fees on account that was to have zero interest and zero annual fees for 12 months. Planned to pay balance of $500 in full by end of promotional period on 8/1. Spoke to representatives several times to be sure of the date to pay off balance. Wanted to pay remaining balance today but after logging into my account saw the deferred interest charge as well as additional interest charge and annual fee charges a few months ago. I feel this due to me getting close to paying off the account and the company wanting to make it difficult for me to do so. We have no problems with our account otherwise and we would appreciate the refund of the interest so the account can be paid off in full. I am prepared to pay off account in full and close the account today. Please contact me to discuss.Business Response

Thank you for contacting Vive Financial on behalf of the consumer. While we are unable to provide account specific information, please be advised that the promotion that was put on the account at the time the charge was made was 12 month deferred interest, which expired on 7/14/2025 at 5 PM CST. However, we were able to speak to the cardholder today regarding the concern and all has been resolved.

My Vive card payment was due on 7/22/25, and I submitted the payment through your website on that same date. Despite this, I was charged a $41 late fee today, and my account has been placed on hold.
When I contacted customer service, I was told the payment had to be made by 5:00 PM on 7/21/25. This is not reasonable. The payment was made on the due date via your online system. Your office hours should have no bearing on an automated payment system.
Charging a late fee because a payment was made a few hours after your call center closed—on the actual due date—is arbitrary at best and appears to be a deceptive practice. Unless this issue is resolved promptly, I will be filing complaints with the Wisconsin Department of Consumer Protection and the Office of the Attorney General.
Please respond with a resolution within 7 business days.Business Response

Thank you for contacting Vive Financial on behalf of the
consumer. Due to the private nature of the account, we are unable to
provide account specific information. However, the minimum payment must
be made on the due date before 5 PM CST. If it is received after this time it
will be considered late, and a late fee will be added to your account. Our cut
off time does not correspond with our call center hours, it is the cut off time
for payments to be made. We will waive your recent late fee of $41 as a
courtesy to your account. If our cardholder has additional questions, our

I recently purchased furniture from Bob's Discount Furniture in Ontario, CA and was offered 0% interest financing through Vive Financial. I accepted the offer after being told by the salesperson that there would be no interest for 12 months and no additional fees. After receiving my account details from the financing company, I noticed a $99 annual fee that was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase. This fee was not mentioned verbally, in writing, or during any point in the transaction. I contacted the financing company directly to dispute the charge. The representative acknowledged the fee but said the only way to have it waived was if I paid the account in full immediately, which defeats the purpose of the financing plan I was offered. I feel this is a deceptive practice—presenting a 0% interest promotion while hiding an annual fee that makes it far from free. Additionally, the financing inquiry lowered my credit score, so I cannot simply close the account without consequence. Had this fee been disclosed, I would have never agreed to the financing in the first place. I am requesting that the $99 annual fee be removed from my account without the condition of immediate full payment, and that Vive Financial update their disclosure practices to prevent this from happening to others.Business Response

June 6 2024 I got a dog from a Dallas pet shelter. The lady ****** from the shelter did the vive application. I did not sign it myself or apply myself.I traveled over 6 hours to get there and all I did was pick up the dog and she gave me a folder that says “0 interested $164 a month” and instructions on the dog. The dog died a week later. They did give me a sick dog. I’ve been paying vive $204 autopay and paid 2,500. The balance was around 5k. I had 2,800 left to pay and noticed I just received an email showing that now I have interest and my balance has gone up over 2k. I called and spoke to agent *****. He told me oh well. Then called again and spoke to ****. I did not agree to a deferred plan. I would have never signed up at all for this. I called and let them know I could continue to pay the agreed amount but I cannot pay more than what I owed which is 2,880. They refused to work with me or provide a solution. I called that pet shelter and they told me they fired ****** for doing the applications for their clients. I let vive know I will not pay anything anymore. If it goes to collections I will not be paying that as they completely scammed me into this credit card. Vive did not show this “promo” when I made payments. I am very close to filing for bankruptcy. If I cannot get my account readjusted to what I agreed apon then I will not continue to be a on time customer. I understand they will give it to Debt collectors and I have the two conversations this morning recorded. Where I pleaded for financial settlement and was told “we can’t do anything” I will have to stop paying entirely if the interest isn’t removed and the two hidden/annual fees aren’t reversed. Please send me my contact with MY signature because I personally NEVER signed. I will get an attorney to get this disputed entirely and will seek reimbursement for the 2,500 I have already paid.
I am asking for a settlement, or simply removing everything that was changed on 6/14/25 on my account.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I did not apply for a vive credit card myself. A former employee filled out the application on my behalf. It’s been on autopay for 12months. I did not authorize nor was I properly informed BEFOREHAND that I would have interest charges. I was scammed into a credit card as I was told I would pay no more than the balance of 5,022. The employee gave me a folder stating 0% interest at 164.00 a month. I was close to paying that off and had 2,800 left. Now with interest randomly added onto my account an an annual fee- my account is back to 5k balance. I will continue to dispute and seek legal action. Vive you refuse to remove hidden fees and hidden interest, I refuse to pay you anymore Vive unless you get this readjusted to what I signed up for. If not, I can guarantee you will have to sell the debt to a collector in which at that point my attorney has advised me to continue to dispute it. I will Show proof of documentation of everything so that the debt collectors can hold you Vive accountable. I still haven’t received a copy of this application.

also available on each monthly billing statement prior to the promotions
expiring. We encourage our cardholder to review those documents. Annual
fees are valid as long as the account has a balance. If our cardholder
