Okay i made this section for everyone who has submitted a bbb complaint against freepay. I jsut submitted one not more than a minute ago and i want to know how many other ppl have done the same.

If you submitted one....what was the outcome on your freepay account and how long till you saw a change after you submitted one?

I did about 4 months ago, no reply from the BBB and I lost my tracking number for it, I submitted another one about 3 weeks ago and now response yet, so I have to wait till trhe money is up.

edit I just called the phone number that is listed on the BBB site for freepay and all I get is a message saying the number has been disconnected. Hooray.

I sent one early this month and received a response about 10 days later saying that Freepay "went ahead and approved my account for ordering". Placed my order this morning since the error with the ordering system was fixed.

Interestingly enough, there are 2 companies listed on there for them
Gratis
Freepay

they both list the same addy. Freepay one doesn't have enough info for the BBB to make a report. Wonder which one peeps should file under.

Ok, so just wanted to know if anyone (that has been approved after submitting complaint) sent Freepay a message letting them know that you reported them?

although this doesn't exactly answer your question, there was someone in another thread who told freepay he reported them to the bbb (prior to being approved). a few days later, his account was put on hold. whether or not the two events are related, not sure.

yeah i wouldnt tell them that you submitted a bbb report against them becuase they do reserve the right to put your account on hold at anytime (TOS)...so keep it on the down low for now and let the bbb handle it

I dunno, I told them I reported them and 2 days later, I was approved. Although the response from CS was the same cookie-cutter deal, so who knows if they actually read it.

People have been getting approved quite a bit the past week or 2 anyway...I kind of doubt that it is a direct relation to you BBB complaints....

Yeah, you're most definately right.

well i read that when you file a bbb complaint that they do contact the company. I dont know if they keep your name secret or not but i think that the frequent approvals of accounts might be becuase freepay IS starting to recive numerous bbb complaints.

I just got approved too in the past week or 2, w/ no complaint after waiting only since May...Other people have been waiting since March, and are contributing the fact that freepay is finally getting to the approvals to their complaints.....

I'll be honest....I don't think freepay gives a flying @#$! at this point about what their profile on BBB says. If that was the case they wouldn't have ever slowed everything down to begin with. I mean if they were that concerned, then I imagine that it would be better to not have complaints then have to resolve complaints....

Alright, I just sent in my BBB complaint this afternoon. We'll see what happens.


I've been "approved" with Freepay since June 6th, and I sent in my form on April 6th. So I've been waiting a good 4 months now and I'm pretty tired of it. I want my PSP now.
