New Annual Fee and Phone Number that doesnt work. y

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I recently received an email that Fortiva will begin charging an annual fee of $79. Because it's a card I do not frequently use, I tried calling the number to close the account.

However, it said that it is not a working number.

It seems as though they purposely have their phone lines down so that they are able to impose the annual fee. Of course, the AI chat only provides the same non-working number.

Preferred solution: Someone to actually cancel my account.

User's recommendation: Abandon Ship!

They did not abide to our contract

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I took out $3000 for dental work with Fortiva and was told that I would pay $145. They didn't give me my due date and said they would notify me.

I never heard from them, so on June 16th, I paid $149 and managed to find my account to see that it was due on the 11th. They said I was $378 past due. When I called them, they ended up removing the late fee but still applied interest, which took me over $3000, and now I have to pay $229. It was their fault that I was late so I should still only pay $149 a month.

They said because I spent the $3000, the interest made it over $3000, so now my payment is $229. That was not in my agreement that I signed.

This has to be illegal. They said it had nothing to do with me being late, which is confusing.

Loss:
$80
Pros:
  • Easy attainable loan
Cons:
  • Dont follow the agreement
  • Will scam you out of money
  • Supervisor is clueless

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: They will do anything to make you pay more. Dont bother with them if you can help it.

Stop a charge on my card

I made a purchase from a company that I have just been informed was a scam. Nobody that has placed an order with the company has ever gotten any of thier ordered merchandise.

As of right now thier payment is pending. So I am needing to catch it and stop the payment from going through.

Loss:
$55
Pros:
  • Helped me with my credit

Preferred solution: The payment stopped.

User's recommendation: For said company or for Fortiva? Recommendation for the company. Beware! As for Fortiva I have only had the card and been with the company for one day.

Fortiva is the worst!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Fortiva Fraud department doesn't stand by you in case of Fraud activity. Very poorly with how they handle your dispute.

A merchant from a third party airline agency charged my card without my consent and Fortiva billed me for it.

The merchant never showed any proof of me giving consent and Fortiva still charged me for it, they don't have care in the world. Stay away from this company you've been warned.

User's recommendation: STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

No Annual Fee is a Lie

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Oct 11, 2023

I've had a Fortiva credit card for about a year and a half now. They advertised 'No Annual Fee'.

I've charged around $1,100 in the past and never been late and am paying this enormous interest rate of 32%+ now. I have a perfect record with my account. However, they sent me an email saying they're changing their terms and conditions. From now on they will be charging an 'Annual Maintenance Fee' of $60 per year, charged at $5/month whether you have a balance or not!

This is to begin in November 2023. When I called to ask why they were doing this to my account (because I had a perfect record of payments) they said they were doing it to ALL customers! They can disguise their new annual fee by calling it a 'maintenance fee' if they like, but it's basically an annual fee. How can you charge a maintenance fee when the account has a zero balance?

Maintenance to do what? Nothing! I don't need this. I have other credit cards and I refuse to pay an annual fee to a bank that is already collecting an over 30% interest rate.

I called Fortiva credit card and had them cancel my account the day I received the email. Thank God I just recently paid my balance off. They also told me it would take until Nov. 30th to close my account and I called on October 9th.

Really? 7 weeks to close my account?? Ridiculous! Now, my credit score has just taken a hit.

How? (1) I've now closed an account and (2) I've lost $1500 available credit that added to my total credit availability when figuring my percentage of available credit vs credit debt. I am NOT happy with Fortiva for changing their terms of service. What if I had of ignored the email?

How sneaky of them to change everybody's credit card account by adding a fee when they advertised the card as No Annual Fee. Just down right dishonest. Goodbye Fortiva Bank.

I don't want to do business with you anymore. I do not recommend Fortiva Credit Card.

User's recommendation: Do NOT Recommend

Actually they did not hurt your credit rating. You did by closing the account and losing that available credit.

So you think it's worth paying $60/year to avoid hurting your credit rating? I think not. They changed the terms of their advertised card.

For 17 cents a day for an unsecured card while you are rebuilding your credit? Yes I do.

I think if you initially applied for a card with a $60 annual fee, that is a different story. But to have a card with 'No' annual fee for over a year, close to 2 years, and for them to then start charging a $60 fee when you've never been late, is a poor way for a bank to do business.

Have you ever had this happen to you when you had a good record with the bank? I haven't. You sound like a Fortiva employee.

That must be it. Apparently you don't think this is an issue, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

Worse customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Oct 13, 2023

Due to this company's appalling customer service and deceptive fees Ive decided to stop being a Badcock customer. Ive informed and warned family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers to stay far away from them.

If you are a current customer pay close attention to any communication you receive from them.

They are very sneaky with their fees. They have been reported to CFPB for hidden junk fees.

Pros:
  • No pros
Cons:
  • Deceptive fees and worse customer service

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Stay Away

Apparently, you can't have a late payment of 3 days or they report you to the credit union and your score get hit 23 points. Then you try and call and can't reach anyone to fix what happened.

Plus, the payment was made on the 4th day. Synchrony reported me for late payments after I paid my bill off. These creditors don't realize that if they ruin a person's credit, they can't buy anything.

Then they loose their jobs and someone messes up their credit. See how ish rolls down hill.
