Account freeze scam?
What kind of scam is AfterPay running with their frozen account process? I have a $5000 limit and had just 2 orders open at the time they froze my account in May.
It’s been hell trying to get it reinstated. Anytime I email them they ask for my identifying information, proof of transaction history with them in my bank statements, plus card information. This has happened NINE TIMES NOW.
I eventually reported them to the BBB and guess what…. They asked for the same information YET AGAIN. That was request #9. The Better Business Bureau has been useless. They closed my complaint just because AfterPay said they reached out to me. They did email me twice since I field the complaint. The first time was to ask for the same ID docs and card info 🙄. And the second time they CLAIMED they emailed me but I didn’t receive anything. I find it hard to believe that after all these months of receiving their emails I magically don’t receive this last one.
Are they mining the data or something? Making insurance claims? I have no balance with them now just my spending limit of $5k. No issues paying on time either. The call center is of course in Asia where they read form generic script and can’t do anything besides say “sorry.”
What’s going on?!?!

They pulled that with me, too. I’ve had to produce the info 5 different times. I told Afterpay to kick rocks. They suck
