Criminals
These people are fraudsters. They have also refused to refund my money after paying a visa and not receiving it. I plan to launch a class action suit in the US. If you are interested in joining, please email me at [email protected] so I can put you in touch with my lawyers. No payment is involved.

I have met other people who also complain about this company. I did make three payments for one passport and the embassy assured me that the payment would be refunded, but from what I am reading from all the platforms online, this company does not have any integrity. Let us write a petition to the FBI, and the Bureau of Consumer Protection AND THE NIGERIA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. Passport is a right not a privilege and no individual or company should take advantage of innocent people and this is what this company is doing. I will suggest we set up a whatsapp group to coordinate this petition and forward it to the appropriate authorities. +1803-240-1721

Payment Reject Error
Hello
I made payment for my passport with INNOVATE1 Services order number: 167449232038349 on January 23, 2023 for my change of name passport and I made sure to pay with the card that has my married name.
The passport is ready to be printed but the system is saying PAYMENT REJECT ERROR. How can we resolve this error?

Refund case number ID#: 112931
I have tried contacting Innovate for my refund. They kept sending me emails that they have refunded when they have not. They then closed the case.
I applied for a passport renewal in New York as I have to change the name on my passport due to marriage. This was because there was no passport leaflet in Atlanta last year. Due to covid I could not go to New York. by then it was on the website that they now have passport leaflet in Atlanta where I live. I went ahead and made another application at Atlanta. I then requested a refund for the New York Application about two months before my appointment.
I kept getting emails that my money has been refunded. The bank has not received any money. No money is visible on my bank statement. They close my case. No one to speak with. They do not have anyone the customer can speak with! They are blaming this on Covid.
Can someone deal with this issue please. The service from this Innovate is terrible!

All they have to do is be transparent and tell me the bank they paid the refund into, if they have made the payment as they said.
I have all the corresponding emails to show for this.

What a dodgy platform.
How did you end up making the payment please? I have been trying so hard to make payment for my daughter and the platform wouldnt let my card go through, plus they have such a porous and untrained customer service representative. They barely answer your questions, send system generated email as responds and have no reachable number.

What a dodgy platform. It's a shame

Fraud!!!!!!
Fraudulent
Unprofessional
Rogue
Scam
The above terms used are an understatement for this organization.
I have been seeking refunds for money paid to renew my passport since August 2019 and up till this moment nothing has been done. No reply to correspondence, no updates, nothing.
Why the Nigerian Immigration Service chooses to employ the services of these scammers is beyond comprehension.
Awful and incredibly scandalous.
Is the Nigerian Immigration Service saying they have not heard of the bad reviews for this company?
UNBELIEVABLE...they deserve less than Zero stars.

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: First I would like to express my appreciation for the response and attempt to resolve this issue by refunding part of the transaction for the passportThank you to Revdex.com and Innovate However, I am rejecting this response because I am not sure Innovate completely addressed the second issueThe response regarding the visa application of $is still unclear to me I believe the Visa issue is a case where no service was rendered or receivedThis is why I am asking for the fee paid to be refundedI showed up to the Embassy, and was told I did not need a VISA application, and to get a refund for the application made alreadyI put in the application for refund on the of March, within days of making the original paymentI have not read Innovate1's policy in details but I was of the impression that when the embassy official tells me I can get a refund, I have a reasonable expectation of getting a refund I have dealt with organizations where the no refund policy has meant giving credit for reuse laterAt the tail end of the lengthy correspondence back and forth, (Mar - see email excerpt below)I was told payments could still be valid for up to six monthsIf I had been told earlier, I could have returned to the embassy and request an extension of my Visa past the expiry My request is as follows Can you refund the $visa application fee, since no service was rendered? In the alternative, can you provide me credit for future visa application to the same embassy? Once again thank you for the leaning forward to resolve this issue Sincerely, EN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: INNOVATE REFUND Date: Monday, March 14, Subject: Payment is done successfully for INNOVATEServices Order No [redacted] To: XXXXXXX@XX Hi XXXXX XXXX, Thank you for writing to customer care Considering the "refund policy", we regret to tell you that your refund request has been rejected However application payment will still valid up to six months Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused Sincerely, INNOVATE Services Support

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Sincerely, [redacted] Please find my written rebuttal below: It is abundantly clear that Innovate Services does not or has refused to contact the Embassy for proof of my payment for the 64-page ePassportInnovate Services would rather put the burden of proof on the consumers/customers who were not privy to the contract it signed with the EmbassyIn her message, Innovate Services representative, MsTheresa M [redacted] , asserts that “The Embassy has issued the 64-page passport against the 32-page application.” The only way in my opinion that Innovate Services became aware of this is because I provided this and other information in my first refund request and confirmed the same information again to customer service agent “Max” whom I spoke with on 02/17/from 9:am for minutes If Innovate Services had taken the time to contact the Embassy, proof of my payment for the 64-page would have been provided I am not certain of what MsTheresa M [redacted] means by “non-registered cards”However, based on payment instructions for the passport application, the cards I used for successful payment of the 32-page and used for the repeatedly failed payment for the 64-page passport application were registered in my name and I believe was on record with Innovate Services based on my initial payment for the 32-page passport applicationAs such, there were no “fraudulent activities” on my part Due to the repeated failed electronic payment, I had to make payment at the Embassy for 64-page application with [redacted] When conversing with Innovate Services customer service agents, I obliged to provide the receipt number and copy of the [redacted] payment but was told this was not acceptableI was told by customer service agent “Alex” on 02/11/after a minute phone conversation from 9:am that I may have to provide a bank statement indicating that the said payment was taken from my accountThe need to provide a bank statement as proof of payment though disconcerting was only confirmed by the refund team in the email sent to me on February at 12:am (See attached)Before the email of February 18, correspondences from the refund team lacked clarity and more importantly were devoid of any details about what next steps to takeAs such, I had to resort to contacting the customer service agents who were usually not helpful and refused to allow me talk with a manager or supervisorAgain, to demonstrate the lack of clarity, MsM [redacted] in her message indicated that “If Mr [redacted] has used a different payment method, Please supply any documents to [redacted] .” I want to know if the [redacted] receipt mentioned earlier will suffice as evidence of payment Sincerely, [redacted] ***

This is the worst possible company to deal with on anythingTheir customer service is horrible! Actually, this is a gross understatementAfter calls to their customer service and several correspondence to their support desk, my payment issue was still unresolvedYou would think a severely aggrieved customer should get some attention to resolve the issueThe service desk agents are clueless on what they should do and have no ability to troubleshoot an issue beyond the most basic issuesThe support desk closed a ticket without even reading the complaintI spent more money calling them to fix my issue than the amount I wanted to payThe Nigerian immigration service should ditch this terrible company and find a reliable company to handle immigration paymentsSurely, there must be better companies than this crappy company to process paymentsI am really annoyed and frustrated with this company -enough that I searched for somewhere, anywhere to complain and let the world know!

HelloWe have contacted the consumer directly and suggested that since he is in the US or Canada that he send a money order. The service has been completed.We are presently in a retraining mode with our customer support staff. For any applicant in the US or Canada, there is the... option of payment by Money OrderWe apologize that the option was not suggested at time of the calls.

Innovate 1 and the Nigerian Consulate is a big scam syndicate. I used the so-called "money orders" to pay $154 ($77) for my children's passport renewal. They confirmed receipt of the money order. However, they intentionally never updated the payment on the application with the payment and on getting to the consulate, my wife was told to proceed to a business centre (sited strategically at the Consulate) as the payment was not reflected on the passport renewal application. At the business centre, she had to pay $210 ($105) to fill out a new application. Several other applicants and family members who paid through money order testified and complained of the exact same issue. More than two months after, Innovate 1 Services is yet to process a refund for the application.

I have several other friends who have appointments at the Consulate over the coming weeks. I am going to write an official complaint to the FBI and the Bureau of Consumer Protection if this fraudulent and dubious act is not eradicated. I will not hesitate to take this issue to an official public petition and open letter to the National Assembly if I ever hear of such complaints again.

Hello,The Applicant is absolutely correctThis is a clear case for an approved refundI will initiate this myselfThe refund email does indeed go to the refund department, clearly we will need more staff to answer in a timely and efficient mannerThe applicant should receive the refund notification within hours from myself and the process for the return is usually 10-business daysI apologize on behalf of InnovateServices Incfor this inconvenience

Hello,As stated in an email that was sent to the customer today, Innovateshows only one payment and that was vetted by the EmbassyThe Embassy has issued the page passport against the page applicationInnovateServices is ever aware of fraudulent activities and as such only allows non-registered cards to be used once every thirty daysInnovateshows no additional payment attempts on the card ending in If Mr [redacted] has used a different payment method, Please supply any documents to [redacted] We never wish to withhold funds due to a customerDue to time differences within our global company, we show the email on Feb 11, which was sent to the refund email and also the support emailIt was responded to in a timely manner from the support teamMy apologizes that the refund team resent the support team information of the ticket being closedOn February 15, the refund team tried to explain that the application you requested a refund for had been vetted by the Embassy and as such could not be refunded, again this was worded poorlyTodays email, has explained everything to the customer clearly.I have included the cascading emailsWe are always training with the support and refunds teams, it is an ongoing process.RegardsTheresa M [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: If Ms M [redacted] has looked at my profile with her company she will see that there has never been a report of fraud of suspicion of fraudNor did they have to reverse and/or refund a transaction because of any fraud or suspicion of fraudMore over, it is untrue that I have a transaction available on this card, instead I have and the beginning of every month and always have to request for an increaseAccording to the call centre agent named Michael I have transactions, nowhere close to To say I have an option to reset my card limit without is news to meAnd does resetting mean I revert back to transactions? I have registered another card, and this card was limited to transaction per month,I again requested for the transaction on that to increased to at least transactionAnd it has not been doneAs I typed this (16/12/15) I am unable to make payment with both the cards as I've reached my monthly limit since 14/12/2015.A moment ago I received a reply to an email requesting another increase with new instructions and a format I'm suppose to send my request for an increase in, this is new to me and the information InnovateService is requesting has been provided to them time and time againI really am frustratedThe last month of the year are the busiest time of the year I have a lot of applications I need to process and InnovateService is hindering my ability to do soThe most frustrating part is that unlike my very unhappy clients who can easily walk to another agency, I have no other option but rely of InnovateService to pay for VISAS and passports I have to processI have been using their services for about a year now and things have been OK till 2/months ago where things changed to hellI understand their efforts to curb fraudAnd have complied with all their requests to authenticate myself and my company but I have gotten no joyInstead I'm given more hoops to jump overMy request is simple, having seen how much I transact with InnovateService, can they provide me with at least transaction per month without me having to request more every weeks and keep waiting waiting for another weeks? Sincerely, [redacted]

If indeed the information on the web is correct, will you provide the information links for the following:E-passport renewalFees for passport renewalProcess for passport renewal that states candidates will need to travel to embassy I do not memorize the names of your employees , time, date ..You sure know Innovateis not transparent and the ethical thing to do is to refund my money with any further push around Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: The reasons :1. INNOVATe1 clearly states in their response that the Embassy charges $30.00 for renewal, but did not explain why Innovate1 charged me $77.00 through their website. That to me, is admission of Fraud.2. Innovate1 did not explain why their representative lied to me that I would only need to mail in my passport for renewal instead of travelling from [redacted] to [redacted] as I later discorvered.3. Nowhere on Innovate1 website which they use for processing and accepting payment for passports, do they explain the process of renewal. This is intentional deception Sincerely, [redacted]

Revdex.com: In reference to complaint ID [redacted] , this is to let you know that I have received an e-mail from the business mentioning that my refund request has been approved and sent to the processorThis resolution is satisfactory to me, but I will keep in touch to let you know whether the refund will really have been processed or notThank you Sincerely, [redacted] Menolli
