No response from company after notifying them my bank changed debited old account causing overdraft of 30 dollars
I notified earnin on 8/13 that my bank would be updating I didn't get a reaponse until 8/14. The person that I spoke with notified me that I can move my scheduled debit to my next pay period which I agreed to. After agreeing with the change the rep informed that she couldn't move the debit due to not notifying the company within 48 hours which I did on the 13th. I explained that I sent my email on the 13th and recieved no response. Earnin processed to debit my old account causing an over draft fee of 30 dollars. My new bank account still has not been added. I've reached out 4 times and still no response and now I can't even use the app. This is poor customer service I really enjoyed the app as an emergency turn to and now I can't use it.

Desired Outcome

I just would like my overdraft fee to be refun and to be able to use the app like I have been with my new banking info b

Our support times can take up to 24 hours as stated in our Help Center and in-app, but most people see a response much sooner. On 8/16/18 our support team requested *** to send a screenshot of the overdraft fee our debit caused, which we still haven't received. She can reach out to support in-app 24/7 with the screenshot to have this fee verified and refund sent out. Also, we rescheduled our debits, so she won't have anything owed taken out of her account until 9/12/18.

Advertises as a payroll service but masquerades as a micro financial manager
Earnin thinks it knows what's best for you financially and attempts to micromanage it by setting arbitrary payment max limits and they'll start you off high, but will treat you as if you're incompetent if you don't have a certain balance in your account and thus, lower it each pay period til you'll only can draw out $50 even though your paychecks are in the thousands. They don't consider if your balance is where it's cause of bills, rent, etc. This unspoken, unknown balance limit on your account is utter ***. They also don't properly calculate your earnings by your hourly rate, but based on whether you're full time or not, so the rate they say you worked for the day, is actually lower than you are paid. They are not even transparent about how they do all this. Been using this service on and off for about three years now and never been late on payments or overdrawn. I'm done with this service as any attempts to talk sense to the customer service just leads to scripted responses. Their tagline says it's your money, but in reality, it's not. I do not recommend this to anyone. Unless you like being treated as an *** who don't know how to manage their money on their own.

Desired Outcome

Stop trying to micromanage my paychecks by calculating my earnings accurately, stop monitoring my account to limit my access to my paycheck, stop using FT or PT hours as an excuse to calculate your hourly pay lower than what you make. Stop lowering cash max's every pay period and stop advertising that it can be increased when they only lower it. In other words, just give me access to my full check early and just worry about getting reimbursed on payday since I've never been overdrawn on my account or late in a payment to them. That's how they should be rating your max, based on your payment history with them not, because they deem you spend more than you make without taking life expenses into consideration (rent, bills, medical bills, etc.). Everybody that work don't always keep a full balance in their accounts. Some do, some don't, but I am the only one who gets to make decisions about MY money. No-one else.

Earnin Response • Aug 27, 2018

Maxes help our users to ensure that they will still have money in their account on payday when we deduct the money they've cashed out, promoting healthy financial behavior. Maxes can fluctuate based on many factors that can be viewed in-app, and also from our Help Center ***. Our service is never intended to give access to users full paychecks, only between $50 - $500 each pay period that is determined by our Max algorithm.

It's also stated in Section 6 in our Terms of Service that "we may limit the total number of Virtual Assets that you can Activate at any given time or over a period of time" here: ***. These terms must be accepted in order to use the app, which *** did agree to.

If *** does not want to use the app anymore, he's able to cancel his account at any time, as long as all debits have been paid back. Support is able to help 24-7 in the app.

No customer support and overdraft fees.
Signed up for earnin, and set everything to withdraw money. When my payday came which is thursdays at 4:10pm est, at 7:30am est my account was hit for the amount owed and and INSUFFICIENT FUNDS from them. Yet they got there money.. now they took an additional $30 due to insufficient funds having my bank info and being able to see when it gets deposited. Then I got hit with $10 from my bank due to it. So a total of $40 on top of the $100 owed was pulled from my account. I emailed customer support reguarding this telling them if they couldn't change the day to Friday then I would submit here because they stated "when you paycheck gets deposited then we will debit your account" after my email to them I noticed there "help" center changed. There help center now includes that issue and a "resolution". But I have yet to hear back from them reguarding it and it's been 4 days, when they say within a day they will get back to me. I have checked everyday to make sure they have or haven't gotten back to me so it's not like I haven't made an effort. Now that's $40 plus another $40 from This paycheck that has been added on top of the $200 total now. $280 paid for 200.. this company is a lie, a joke, and most importantly they steal from customers to continue to operate.

Desired Outcome

I want my $80 returned to my account that was taken

Earnin Response • Aug 14, 2018

received overdraft charges because his bank doesn't deposit his check until later in the day, and our debits came out in the morning, same day. We are not able to set a time for our debits to come out of someone's account, and we never intend to cause overdraft fees. As long as the user brings the issue to our attention, we'll gladly change their payroll date a day ahead to avoid any potential future overdraft fees, as well as refund any overdraft fees we caused. On 8/3/18, we sent him a total of $90 in refunds to cover all overdraft fees he received, and updated his pay dates resolving his issue.

Earnin will not contact me or refund me for the NSF fee it charged and took from the wrong account, an account it was not authorized to debit from.
Earnin was authorized to debit from my checking account associated with my direct deposit. It did not and pulled from an alternate checking account resulting in a NSF fee for which I was charged twice for resulting in a $60 negative balance. Me wanting to be in good standing with my bank I sent the money over so that I would not have a negative balance. I have contacted them about the issue for which I received automated system emails about a debit to be rescheduled. Since then Earnin has taken the correct debit from the correct account for which it was authorized. But I have had no one contact me about the refund I initially inquired about. It has been over 24 hours (email states someone will contact me by then).
Earnin has access to my online banking, but them incorrectly debiting from a newly opened checking account is not good practice. And even worse when no one contacts the customer to let them know ANYTHING. I did nothing wrong, yet I am penalized for a mistake that was made on the Earnin Application's side. I can provide screen shots as needed of correspondence (including screenshots of my banking information) and of emails that were sent to me regarding this matter.

Desired Outcome

I want Earnin to refund me for the $60 it charged me for THEIR mistake. Because had they debited from the correct account in the first place, there wouldn't be an issue nor would there be any NSF charged to me to begin with.

Earnin Response • Aug 14, 2018

It appears *** debit card she added to her Earnin account is linked with two checking accounts, so when we debited her account, it came out of the secondary account, causing the overdraft fee. To fix this, we removed her debit card info from her account so all money will be sent/received via her routing & account numbers instead of by debit card. We also issued a $60 credit as a refund for the issue this caused on 8/4/18. We would normally get back to her inquiries sooner, but our team had an increased volume of tickets so unfortunately the wait was longer than we anticipated. If she has any more questions, or needs assistance, support can be reached in-app 24/7.

Issue with hold on my account
I'm very upset with the customer service and the turn around time to be contacted with my ongoing issue I have had for the past 3 weeks now. I have been a customer for maybe 8 months now. My current issue is I had to change my checking account due to my previous account being compromised. When that happened I received a new debit card and checking account. I advised Earnin of the new information and They advised me that my account was not valid when they attempted to process a test transaction on July 16. I spoke with my bank and they advised me that they had no clue of the test transaction on July 16 at all and there was nothing they could do because the trace # given was not in their system. After numerous attempts and constant back and forth emails Earnin finally manually entered my checking account and routing number in their system. I was advised that they were able to add and they were going to do another test transaction to see if it post. I sent them a screen shot of the test transaction and they said issues would be resolved. However, I'm now getting pushback from the representatives and they are advising my account is still not correct! I currently have my account on hold because I owe them 100.00 and because of that hold I'm not able to borrow money until the issue is resolved. It's very frustrating I've been told all the issues would be resolved once the test transaction would be posted to my account. Now I'm once again back at square one with false information. I need this resolved immediately. I need their system to be able to allow me to get funds and the hold to be removed from my account. They have multiple emails from me and I have from them as well. I should not have to continue to go through this without a proper resolution and I demand a resolution asap!

Thanks

Desired Outcome

Be able to borrow funds as i have in the past and for my account be taking off hold because there is nothing wrong with my bank account.

Earnin Response • Aug 14, 2018

The issue with ***'s invalid bank information has been resolved, and our system is set to debit her account for the $100 from her previous cash out on her next payday, 8/23/18, which *** accepted. Once the debit passes, she'll then be able to cash out again. If she needs any further assistance, support is available in-app 24/7 and we'd be happy to help.

Earnin ignored my emails for 3 days after charging me on the wrong day & causing overdraft fees
When I first used the Earnin service, I noticed that they were charging me before my actual payday, which is when they are supposed to charge. I informed them several times that I was being charged on the wrong date. I was told not to worry about it at first, then I was told to provide proof, which I did. Then I was asked to provide proof again, which I did. They basically stated that my proof (a screenshot from my account showing that my paychecks do not clear until the 15th or 30th of the month) was not good enough. I continued to email them and say that I was concerned about being charged on the wrong day and incurring overdraft charges, and I was told to notify them in the event that it happened. When it did happen on the 27th of July, I notified them immediately and got no response. I sent several emails, which up until today they have yet to respond to. They have not even sent a confirmation that they are looking into the issue. I want the money back for those overdraft charges because this was completely avoidable, and I notified them well in advance of the issue.

Desired Outcome

I am owed $75.00 for overdraft charges I incurred as a result of being charged on the wrong date.

Earnin Response • Aug 09, 2018

Our support team was experiencing a higher volume of tickets during the time of *** issue, so unfortunately the wait time was longer than expected. We have corrected her payroll to reflect, "Pays 1 day before the 15th and 31st. Holidays pay before." to avoid any future overdraft fees. We also sent a $75 credit on 8/3/18 to cover the overdraft fees incurred. We're working on growing our support team to provide quicker responses, and support can be reached 24/7 in-app for assistance.

Customer Response • Aug 14, 2018

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I am satisfied that they returned the overdraft charges, however, I would like to point out that I notified them of a potential issue in May and they continued to tell me that it was not a problem and that they had updated my payment dates. This is all reflected in the supporting documentation I provided, and has nothing to do with the high call volume they mentioned. I recently borrowed funds from them again, and they are still charging me a day before my actual payday, which they clearly state above. If I incur more charges, I will ask for this case to be reopened. I should only be charged on my actual payday, not a day before. That doesn't make any sense.

The company wouldn't even set up my account saying that the balance is zero when it's not. Not sure if they just didnt want my business or not. They keep asking me to send screenshots of my bank account, when thats not possible. I asked how positive does the account have to be to get set up and no one wll answer that question. I think $20-30 should be positive enough as to not over draft on a $.10 test. I'm not quite sure what they want to be in the account as I wouldnt need the loan if there were hundreds of dollars in there.

Earnin Response • Aug 09, 2018

Since we use a third party provider to connect with customers banks, we don't receive live updates. We only receive updates when the bank sends them, which can vary from a few hours to days. So, if the most recent update we received showed a negative bank balance, we're unable to send out our test transactions until our system detects a positive balance in efforts to avoid any potential overdraft fees. However, we see that Diana's account has been verified, and is fully active. Support can be reached 24/7 in-app for any further assistance.

Customer Service Does Not Respond
I have been using the service for a year and a half now and have always worked at the same place. All of a sudden, a week and a half ago they stopped updating my wages (earnings) in their system. I emailed customer support on 7/20/18 and they wrote me back the next day saying that the GPS was showing that I was staying at work for over 13 hours a day and their system could not auto update my earnings for that many hours. I immediately wrote them back stating that what they're showing in their system is not possible because I get to work every day at approx. 8am and leave every day between XXX - XXX which is only a 9 hour work day. Since I sent that email five days ago, no one has responded back to me and my earnings are still not correct in the system (today is 7/25/18). I have since emailed them four more times, even requesting a manager or supervisor contact me, and no one has responded to any of the emails. Their site gives no phone numbers to contact them so we are stuck with only dealing with these issues through email. I now will become able to draw off of my wages tomorrow evening but I will not be able to because they have not updated my earnings in their system. This will cause a hardship for me.

Desired Outcome

I would like for them to respond to my numerous emails and also fix my account and update my earnings so that I can draw off of them before this weekend.

Earnin Response • Aug 08, 2018

Our support team has experienced a high volume of tickets during the time *** was experiencing issues with his earnings being added. However, our team was able to update his account, and his hours have been added, allowing him to cash out his full max successfully. If *** has any further issues, he can reach support in-app 24/7.

Customer Response • Aug 09, 2018

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
Their support team did finally respond after two weeks. I have had two other problems since then with my earnings not being added but their support team has now started responding within 24 hrs.

My information was stolen within 24 hours of signing up, have been asking company to close my account for a week with no results and now no response
I decided to try Earnin for the first time on 6/16/18. In order to use their services you have to link your bank account. To receive a cash out faster, they ask you to link your debit card. I did so and proceeded with a cash out. The money was instantly transferred to my account. Within 24 hours of linking my debit card I received a fraud alert from my bank. Someone had stolen my debit card info and attempted 2 different purchases in 3 different states, one of which was successful. I immediately contacted Earnin after my bank via email to let them know what had happened and asked for my account to be deleted. The response I received was they couldn't close my account until my cash out was paid back. I said fine, but please close as soon as it is paid back oh and by the way, thanks for your concern about my info being stolen. They then responded asking me to send screenshots of my bank account to them so they could see the transactions, and said they're system is safe and secure and basically that there is no way that my info was stolen from them. I refused to send them my bank info, said my bank was investigating the charges, and asked again to have my Earnin account deleted. They debited my account for the cash out on 07/20 and it showed as cleared 07/23. I have sent them numerous emails to close my account with no response.

Desired Outcome

I just want my account deleted. I have already changed my account information, all of my banking information, etc. I WILL NEVER USE EARNIN AGAIN!!!

Earnin Response • Aug 08, 2018

This type of complaint is abnormal. The unknown charges were certainly not caused by us. We have not had any other concerns that any card number or bank account info given to us has been inappropriately accessed any anyone. We take security and privacy seriously and will deeply investigate. However, we have no current reason to believe the fraudulent card use was, in any way, related to use of the Earnin service. *** account has now been closed as well. She can still reach support at any time by emailing ***.

First they got my pay day wrong. Got multiple agents with different solutions and still didn't correct issue.
Originally they got my pay day wrong. When I requested that they change it I was informed it was too late to stop the debit and ended up with $70 in fees from my bank. Over a week later, after MULTIPLE agents asking for different forms of documentation, which I provided, they STILL have failed to correct anything on their end. Each time I provided proof to one agent, another would ask for yet ANOTHER form of proof. Often after I provided the documentation, I'd hear nothing back from that agent and have start all over with another one. They have a spectacular lack of follow through and accountability. Not only do they fail to correct issues that even a child could recognize, but they obviously fail to communicate not only with the clients but with each other. They market themselves as assistance till payday but so far all they have done is COST me $70 in fees with their lackadaisical approach to customer service. There is no number to contact anyone and so far my MULTIPLE requests that someone in management at least contact me have gone unanswered and ignored. It makes me VERY nervous seeing as they have access to my bank account and obviously no morals or sense of responsibility when it comes to other peoples money.

Desired Outcome

I want there business practices corrected, you should be able to reach out to a manager in some shape, size or form and want $68 dollars there refusal to follow through and correct an obvious issue caused to be charged to my account

Earnin Response • Aug 07, 2018

Unfortunately, *** payroll was set up in error. We can not support customers who have an irregular payroll deposit pattern since our debits are scheduled automatically. We are thoroughly working with our support agents to insist this doesn't happen again. We did send *** the $68 refund due to our error, and explained how our service works including payroll patterns. Her account has been deleted, but she's still able to reach support anytime by emailing *** with any questions/concerns she may have.

terrible customer service
I have been trying to reach a representative for the longest because earnin is trying to say that I have.n incoming debit of &103 though I only cashed out about $50/$60 this pay period. It makes no sense and now it's saying "I will see earnings within a day of work. Add a time sheet to speed it up" I CONSECUTIVELY UPLOADED TIMESHEETS AND IT WONT LET ME CASH OUT STILL. Honestly upsetting and making me debate getting ride of this *** app all together. I feel like I'm getting played somehow.

Desired Outcome

I want to be able to cash out or I'm deleting it all together

Earnin Response • Aug 02, 2018

We do not have any recent support tickets under the name of ***. Our team is more than happy to help, *** would need to either update his name here to what he uses on his account, or submit a support ticket in-app for assistance, and we'll make sure this is handled properly.

Removed funds from my account 1 day early causing an overdraft fee.
I have used Earnin for afew months. twice previously, without my consent, they have changed my paydays to Thursdays in their systems. I have reached out to them and they changed back to Fridays. The final time I spoke with someone they assured me it would not happen again.
This week they again changed my payroll date and went through with removing $101 from my account a day BEFORE my payday, which in turn caused a $31 overdraft fee.

They were very responsive at first to my multiple emails and *** (Earnin) let me know if I received an overdraft to send a screenshot to them. I submitted my screen shot to them on Thursday 7/19. After which they no longer would respond to me.

Desired Outcome

I want a $31 dollar refund from Earnin for my overdraft fee from my bank caused by them removing funds from my account a day earlier than set up.

Earnin Response • Jul 26, 2018

When *** updated her employer in the app, our system determined her payroll schedule based off of the pattern of deposits we see in her account. When our system determines a users payroll dates, we send a confirmation email and a notification in-app to let us know if there are any issues with the dates we selected. The user can also see this in the calendar section of the app of when their cash outs were, along with the dates we'll be debiting it back.

However, we are more than happy to fix this and refund any fees a user receives if we debited their account on a day different than when they're paid. On 7/25/18 our support team sent *** a $31 refund for the fee she received, as well as correcting her payroll to reflect "Pays every other week on Friday. Holidays always pay the day before.". This note has been made on her account, so it will not change, and she won't have this issue again.

Tried to prevent an overdraft but it still happened!
On 07/16/18, I reported to the business that I won't be get paid until next Friday 07/29/18 to prevent any overdrafts from my bank. Just to make sure I once again emailed the company to find out what will happen if I can't pay the money owed in time. I tried to find out if I can make payments and they said as long as I have $100 in the account it will be fine. I responded to them that I will to have to wait until 07/29 to clear the balance. On 07/20, my account over drafted and I had proof stating that I was not going to be able to pay the money owed until 07/29. They stated that after careful reviewing, they cannot issue a refund because I did not clearly state that I wanted to postpone the payment. I stated on 07/16/18 at 8:39PM PDT, "I do not get paid until next Friday but can send another time sheet for this week showing that I have been working and will be until 08/03/18." On 07/17/18 12:34PM PDT, *** from Earnin stated," Thank you for contacting us today about your concern. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are saying that you won't be receiving your pay this Friday but would like to continue being able to cash out with the app?" If you are, we will encounter some problems with that. First, because the only way that your max resets is when we are able to debit your account for the amount you cashed out on your scheduled pay day. Second, although we won't decline updating your account's earning, you won't have access to it until your max is reset. If I missed out on any information, do ask. I'll be waiting for your reply." On 07/17/18 1:08 PDT, I replied by stating, " No, I just wanted to make sure that I am not going to overdraft. Can I make payments to clear the balance?" On 07/17/18 at 1:39 PDT *** stated, "Oh, I see. Of course. You just need to make sure that your account has enough balance so that when we make our debit of $100.00 on July 20, 2018, it will go through without a problem. Or are you referring to multiple small payments?" And then I stated on 07/17/18 at 7:17 PM PDT, " OK I'll probably wait until next Friday for you guys to take the amount out. I just wanted to send the timesheet so that it does not look like I am not working. I just started last week therefore I hadn't worked for two weeks causing me to not be paid for 2 pay periods." I never received a response from *** and that was their error because I did state that I won't be able to pay it until 07/29/18. Yet *** from Earnin stated today that, " I've carefully reviewed the previous convo we had with you and it seems like we haven't received any advance notification that you want the scheduled payment to be postponed. Please note that we need at least 2 business days advance notice in rescheduling debits as it is also required by most banks. Our debit files are sent to your bank 2 days before the requested date. I'm afraid to say that we can no longer reimburse what the system has processed. Also, at this time we require consistent direct deposits in your bank account. We'll unfortunately need to wait until you receive your next direct deposit before we can reset your account. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused." I turned in all of the required evidence to prove that I did email them 4 days in advance to prevent the over drafting from occurring and even tried to work with them to bring the balance down. Their communication is poor and I emailed about five different about my issue. It wasted my time and got me no where. Now I am left with -126.00 in my bank and my paycheck on 07/29 will be gone! Thanks Earnin!

Desired Outcome

Reimbursement for the $126.00. I will pay back the debt owed on Friday 07/29 as requested earlier in the week.

Earnin Response • Aug 02, 2018

's payroll setup has been confirmed it is fixed/corrected now. On 7/23 we sent a credit to cover the overdraft fee that our debit caused. We did not receive a response back from ***, and her support ticket (# XXXXXXX) has been closed.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)

It's essentially a nice scam. I tried it for a couple of month's. Unfortunately, even after I emailed support, showed screenshots of transactions, I was charged a total of $116 in NSF fees. I made it clear with support of the time I would receive my direct deposit. (8am) Even asked them if it was OK to pay them back on the Saturday of the pay period. (According to their Q&A section of the app this is acceptable if you contact them to do so) This is really how the company makes it's money. They charge micro transactions to add up the NSF fees. This is fraud. This will shortly become a federal case. DO NOT USE. PERIOD!

Earnin Response • Jul 26, 2018

While we do allow users to reschedule our debits, we aren't able to schedule anything on weekends since banks are closed. Only on business days (no holidays/weekends). We also can't schedule our debits to come out at a specific time of day either. Our support team informed Jerry about this, and we were able to reschedule the debits to come out on Mondays instead so he doesn't receive any more overdraft fees. Jerry provided a screenshot to our support team showing he received $87 in overdraft fees from us debiting his account before his paycheck was deposited on Friday. It was a total of $87, which we refunded back to his account on 7/26/18. If Jerry has any further questions or needs help, he can contact our support team 24/7 in-app.

This company is the absolute worst. I have bent over backwards to get $150 borrowed. They have dropped my pay period max to $100 putting a financial strain on me for $55 (tip included). My account has not gotten a overdraft fee and there was no reason for it to drop to $100 when I make $993 AFTER taxes and insurance. I have sent them 2 emails stating that this needs to be fixed and both times they told me that it is all computer generated and they can not manually change it. (2 of my friends that work for payday loan companies have to blame it on the computer, so that the customer doesn't know its really the company screwing with their money). Like stated in the previous emails to this company... This NEEDS to be fixed. I have done everything you ask for and I am an adult. I do not play with my bank account.

Earnin Response • Jul 26, 2018

We let all users know about our Max system when they use the app. Everyone has a set $100 daily Max, and a pay period Max that can vary between $50 - $500. Pay period Maxes can fluctuate due to a variety of financial factors, no one has a set pay period Max. Some of the factors considered include your spending habits, overdrafts, use of the app, your bank, and whether or not your employer works with us directly. Maxes are stated in both our Help Center, and section 6 of our Terms of Service users must agree to before using the app. A few days before someone's payday, our system will determine if there will be a Max increase or decrease, and the user is sent an email letting them know about any changes at that time.

Issues with service for an entire week with only a few customer service personnel that are very helpful with a frustrated customer.
I have used this service for awhile and didn't have much problem until recently. I am beyond livid that I have to go through back and forth communication with customer service and only a few are willingly helpful. If I am able to connect myself to my online bank account it shouldn't be a problem connecting on their part. I am not the only one who is currently going through this and I am tired of no resolution for an entire week. I have been patient and gave them a chance to work on this and it only worked overnight and the next thing you know its the same issue again and now haven't heard from customer service. I or anyone shouldn't have to wait for an entire week for something to get resolved.

Desired Outcome

Own your responsibility with your customers problem. You become a business and grow because of your customers. Hear what we have to say. Fix the problem as soon as possible and make your customer feel understood while they are waiting for their problem to be fixed. So therefore look into my account fix what needs to be fixed so I can use your service for its intended use. Please and Thank you.

We understand bank connection issues can be very frustrating since we rely on a third party for updates, and updates are only received once the users bank sends them. (As stated in Section 13 of our Terms of Service Agreement) Sometimes, banks change their security settings, or third party permissions that can cause us the inability to connect with the bank. If this happens, our third party reaches out to the bank, and until the bank works with us to create a fix, users have to wait for the resolution. We know this isn't ideal for the users experience, but we're internally working on making some changes to prevent this from happening.

As of today, 7/19/18, we see that ***'s bank connection has been fully re-established, and she has been able to successfully cash out since 7/16/18. If *** has any questions, or needs help our support team is available 24/7 and can be reached either in-app or by emailing ***@earnin.com.

They debuted my account on the wrong day resulting in me being overdrafted. When I try to reach support nobody EVER answers me in a timely manner.
They were supposed to go off my pay stub and not my time sheet for my pay periods. They did not. I'm now over drawn. I want them to reissue the money and also pay my overdraft fee.

Desired Outcome

I would like to be refunded the money as well as my overdraft fee.

When our system set up ***'s payroll, there was an error on our end. Her account was set to "pays weekly on Fridays", when she's actually paid "bi-weekly on Fridays". This unfortunately resulted in her account being debited on 7/13 instead of 7/20. Our support team did send her a $34 credit from the overdraft fee her bank issued on 7/14. On 7/17, a supervisor reached out to further review of what happened, and offered to credit back the full amount *** was debited on 7/13 as courtesy for the inconvenience. We are waiting to hear back from *** at this time for her confirmation of any other overdraft charges she may have incurred so we can refund those as well. Once we confirm the total amount with ***, we will issue the refund, and it will post to her bank account within 1 business day.

Hello. I've replied to *** but have yet to get a response back from them. None of this has been a seamless and helpful matter.

On Tuesday, July 24th 2018, ***'s issue was resolved. We sent her a $100 credit as courtesy for the mistake we made of her payroll being set up incorrectly resulting her being debited a week earlier than her anticipated payday. *** confirmed she was satisfied with this result, and she is able to reach our support team 24/7 in-app if she has any further questions or needs assistance.

This company is very hard to get ahold of! I've had two different transactions try to come from my account and it charged me two overdraft fees.
It's hard to get in touch with someone that isn't an automated response. I've sent numerous emails to no avail trying to get my account back to where I can cash out again. But even after all debts are paid it still says I owe. No responses for 3 days except automatic ones.

Desired Outcome

Being able to cash out again and it say my payments went through

We are not able to find any users by the name of *** in our support tickets, or database. We will need this user to send an email to ***@earnin.com with the name on her account, and email address she used to sign up for the app so we can fix any issues ASAP.

Company debited my bank account a day before the agreed upon date causing an overdraft fee.
This is a payday loan app. I borrowed $100 on June 29th with the agreement that would be debited said amount on July 4th. They instead debited my bank account the day before, Tuesday the 3rd, causing my bank account to be overdrawn. I've tried to contact said company numerous times over the past 3 days in regards to the overdraft and how to go about getting a refund for my overdraft fee....as soon as I made them aware of the situation all communication stopped.

Desired Outcome

I expect the company to refund my overdraft fee that they caused by debiting my bank account a day before the agreed upon date.

's payroll was set on Wednesdays, to where holidays pay the business day before. This resulted in his account being overdrafted since his paycheck wasn't deposited until the business day after the holiday.

On 7/6/18, support adjusted his pay schedule to reflect every week on Wednesday, holidays pay the business day after so that he will be debited correctly going forward. We also sent him a refund of $38.50 for the fee his bank charged from the overdraft the same day. If *** needs any further assistance or has questions, he can reach support 24/7 either in-app, or by emailing ***@earnin.com.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
In Earnin's response to my complaint they make it sound as if I had my pay setup to auto debit the day before I get paid if my payday lands on a holiday...that couldn't be further from the truth. I actually had it setup to debit my account the day after if my payday landed on a holiday. They did reimburse my account for the overdraft charges that occurred but please understand that they would not have done this had they...
1. Not been at fault and...
2. Had I not filed a complaint with my bank, Apple and the Revdex.com.

I immediately deleted my account as soon as I was reimbursed and I would never recommend this app to anyone.

We do apologize for the issue *** experienced. In our records, ***'s payroll was setup and completed on 10/16/17 as "Pays every week on Wednesday. Holidays always pay the day before". This remained the same until 7/6/18 when this issue happened and was then changed to "Pays every week on Wednesday. Holidays pay the day after". When customers accounts are being created, the user must confirm the payroll setup is correct before their account can become active. However, we did take ownership of the issue, refunded the overdraft fee received, and fixed his payroll setup so if in the future *** chooses to use our service again, this issue would not reoccur. Our support team would be happy to help answer any questions, or provide assistance at anytime.

The company acts as an emergency paycheck advance service. The concept seems pretty innovative. The app-only platform has a nice clean aesthetic. Please dont be fooled, though. The company provides the worst level of customer service imaginable. The app stops working after a while. There is no telephone # to call. Emails and dms on Facebook go unanswered. And then you start to wonder if your personal banking and payroll information is safe, given that the app is always broken. Save your time and effort. Do not patronize this company. I've had issues for 2 weeks with no resolution.
