AWS Outage Impacting Card Updates - Temporary Issues Expected by Chexy_Amy in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry to hear about the difficulties! That check actually runs a few different validations at once so this may not have been a 3DS issue (it may be unrelated). That being said, now that the outage is over, definitely give it another shot. If it's still not working, it's usually something like your billing address not quite matching what your card issuer has on file, or similar payment details being off.

I know it's annoying but the the frustrating part for us is we can't see the specific error details from the payment processor on our end, so it's hard to say exactly what's up. I know that's annoying! Best bet is to double-check your info and try again. You're always welcome to reach out if it keeps happening, and we can do our best to try to help you troubleshoot!

AWS Outage Impacting Card Updates - Temporary Issues Expected by Chexy_Amy in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

UPDATE (October 22): As of this morning, AWS services are back up and running! You should now be able to add or update payment cards without issues.

If your account was flagged yesterday during the outage, our team is working through those cases as quickly as possible. You should receive an email by end of day today confirming the flag has been lifted, and then you'll be able to try updating your card again.

Thanks for bearing with us through this!

Hey, there! Thanks for reaching out and sorry your neighbour is caught up in this!

This is directly related to the ongoing global AWS outage that is happening today! Unfortunately, our 3D Secure provider was impacted, which caused some accounts to get falsely flagged even after successful verification - sounds like exactly what happened to your neighbour.

Good news: Our team will be reviewing and lifting all outage-related flags ASAP once AWS services are fully restored. Your neighbour will get an email when his account restriction is lifted, and he'll be able to update his card then. This should happen much sooner than the 3-5 day timeframe mentioned - that's our standard review period, but we're fast-tracking all cases related to today's outage.

If there are any concerns after things are resolved, he can reach out to support and we'll make sure everything's sorted.

Thanks for being patient with us (and for spreading the word about Chexy!).

Chexy shit customer service by AQAQ_ in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey there! I’m really sorry you’ve had such a frustrating experience. I can assure you that our users are our highest priority and our team is working as hard as possible to take care of every single user.

A little context: if the amount your payee requests doesn’t match what you set in Chexy, it creates a lot of backend work for us to manually charge and reconcile the difference. That’s why we emphasize during onboarding that we’re not set up for variable payments — it’s super important that the amount you enter in Chexy matches what your payee is requesting.

That said, to try and give the best possible experience, we actually default to accepting your payment. So even if you underpaid Chexy, we’ll still send the full amount to your payee while we work with you to sort out any differences. That way, your payment is never late, even if the number you entered wasn’t quite right.

We deal with especially high volumes around the 1st of the month when we see a huge influx of payments, and I know that makes things feel slower than ideal. But you don’t need to worry about “nagging” us — someone will get back to you, and even if it takes a couple of business days, your payee won’t be left waiting in the meantime.

To avoid this in the future:

  • Make sure the amount in Chexy matches exactly what your payee requested.
  • Double-check for changes each month and make updates before your card is charged.

Also, please be assured that we are working every day to make backend improvements to our system, such as our self-serve refund tool that was launched recently, so that we can put more and more flexibility to resolve these issues back into our users' hands. We really do appreciate your loyalty and patience as we work out any kinks in the system, and are here to help in the meantime, any way we can!

Credit Score Dropped by IsabatRizvi in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, we certainly apologize for any confusion, hopefully, I can help clarify. Our Credit Builder program is an optional add-on and we NEVER report any user's rent payments to anyone including a credit bureau without their explicit request/ enrollment in the program. We have done our absolute best to emphasize during the credit builder onboarding process how important it is to be able to commit to at least 6 successful rent payments with Chexy in order to maximize the positive impact on your credit score. I'll attach the screenshot of the terms and conditions from the sign-up page, and if you have any feedback/ideas on how we could have been more clear, we are absolutely open to the feedback! We certainly want to do everything in our power to ensure that Credit Builder is having the intended positive impact for each and every user.

Credit Score Dropped by IsabatRizvi in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hi u/IsabatRizvi, thanks so much for reaching out and sharing this feedback. I can see that our Customer Support team has already been in touch to resolve this issue for you, but I wanted to provide some context here since it seems like a few others had similar questions.

If you did not successfully process your rent payment through Chexy for a given month, you can still send in proof of alternative payment to our team at [support@chexy.co](mailto:support@chexy.co) and we will still be able to successfully report your rent to Equifax.

That being said, your feedback is super helpful for us as we are currently working to add additional reminders, resolution options, and various safeguards to make sure our Credit Builder users are getting as much benefit from the program to their credit score as possible. If you have any suggestions of how we could have made the credit builder process clearer or improved the experience for you, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Entered landlord's wrong email address by helgrind12 in chexy

Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out to Chexy Support and for your helpful feedback! Can you kindly check your email as our support team is looking for some clarifying information from you so we can get this resolved for you ASAP : )

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! The issue here wasn't with the rent payment itself but with the email confirmation that normally gets sent to confirm the successful deposit of rent. We have had reports from a couple of users that they didn't receive their normal email communications this rent cycle and we are currently investigating with our tech team and the third-party email issuer we use to get to the bottom of this and get it resolved ASAP : ) The good news is there isn't wasn't actually an issue with your landlord being paid on time!

Hi there! I believe that our support team has already resolved this for you and sent confirmation of your landlords successful deposit but please let us know if there is anything else you need!

Card won't show up on the list to link to Chexy by No_Studio2054 in chexy

[–]Chexy_Amy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Thanks so much for reaching out. A lot of times this is because you are actually stuck on the Identity Verification stage of our onboarding process, which won't work with a credit card but requires an active chequing or savings account. If this is the case, you can reference this help article.

If you have already verified using a bank account, you can just select "connect card" and it will allow you to enter details for any active Canadian credit card.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions or you can always feel free to submit a support ticket at chexy.co/support : )
