Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I initiated an order via Affirm with the merchant Visible. The payment was processed and was received on XX/XX/2021. 

On XX/XX/2021 I initiated a return with the merchant due to the product not being as described ( I was sent the wrong model ) and made a return with the prepaid label the merchant provided ( attached below ) on XX/XX/2021. After speaking with the merchant over the next few days, I was informed it would take up to 21 days, I was informed on XX/XX/2021 by the merchant that the carrier confirmed they lost my return package and a police report should be filed, after filing a a police report on XX/XX/2021 with the XXXX Police Department, I was then informed by the merchant on XX/XX/2021 that they decided to deny my refund request. I explained I had no fault as I returned the package using their prepaid label. 


I then reach out to affirm to complaint over the span of the next few weeks regarding the carelessness of the merchant and how they were basically stealing my money as I provided proof that I no longer had the order in my possession as I returned it, effectively forcing me to pay for a product/service that was not as described, as in this case the phone was damaged which is why I initiated the return. 

Below you will find Affirms practices as a payment facilitator for their partner bank, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, did not meet the standards expected of a financial institution. XXXX refused to initiate an investigation on their end, even though the merchant committed fraud by not returning my money for a product I returned and subsequently filed a claim and was paid out by the carrier for the insurance on the return. In this case, affirm is not just a facilitator of payments, they are a financial institution that provided me with an installment loan and they refuse to help me even though the merchant is committing abuse and possibly fraud.
