            Scratch Financial received a request to close a line of credit for a bill that is paid in full. The account is still open and the balance should be $-95.00. Animal ****************** *************** was over-paid (never sent a refund for the overpayment nor adjustment for services not performed) and to date the manager has not returned my call regarding this issue.

            11/06/2024

            My dog had a life threatening emergency that happened right after an expensive move that left me temporarily stuck living paycheck to paycheck. I was denied a loan because my credit history was not long enough. Forget the fact that I have a well paying job, good credit, a good history of paying bills on time, and all that. Even after talking to customer service, they refused to do anything because their system automatically approves and denies people based off of preset criteria. I got lucky that my vet was willing to work with me and I was able to save my dogs life, but I cannot imagine what could have happened if my vet was not understanding of the situation. I have strong reasons to believe that I was denied automatically by their system because of my young age.
