Consumer Narrative
First off I hope I made the correct choice to file this complaint because no where did I find Home Improvement Loans. So got the loan through Sunlight Financial but the loan was actually approved by XXXX XXXX XXXX. My fist instalment was due on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023 I remembered that because the XXXX of XXXX had fallen on a Sunday I had forgotten to submit the first payment. So I login to my online account with Sunlight Financial and proceed to submit my payment. On XX/XX/XXXX of the current year, I login to my bank account to see what had been charged so far ( because I have other payments that come in ). To my surprise, I see 2 charges for sunlight financial one in the amount of what the payment should be which is in the amount of {$230.00} and the one I made and authorized in the amount of {$230.00}. I called them that same day XX/XX/2023 at XXXX XXXX to ask why had they charged my bank account twice? That I had only authorized the payment of {$230.00} made on XX/XX/2023. She checked and verified that the auto pay was not activated. So according to the young lady I spoke to, she verified that the autopay had not been activated, so there was no reason for the financial institution in charging my account without my consent. She did say she'd enter notes to escalate the situation and that she would call me with a response. She even verified my phone number. I asked for either a refund of the double charge or credit for the payment due on XX/XX/2023. I also asked for my payment due date to be moved to the XXXX of each month. I want to point out the call was being recorded! That was taken care of on XX/XX/2023. But as far as for the issue with the double charge they did not mention a thing. I even logged in to see if their was at least a credit to make a payment till XX/XX/2023, but nothing has been updated. Then I proceeded to sending them a message via their portal which I took a screen shot of, before submitting to keep as proof. But till this day of XX/XX/2023 I have not received a response from them, not a call or an email or a letter in the mail addressing the issue. I have removed my bank account from the portal since XX/XX/2023 so they can no longer take any payments that I do not authorize. But I would really like for someone to reach out to them and ask why did they take money that was not authorized? In the attached files you will find the message sent to sunlight Financial disputing the double charge. Then email with the charge that was authorized by me. And a screen shot of the charges from my bank. Final note, I was never notified about the first charge otherwise I would have never made that payment on XX/XX/2023.
