Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. McDonal’s Business Consumer Alliance complaint. Affirm has reviewed Ms. McDonal’s complaint, which states her concerns with her purchase, obtained with an Affirm loan.
Affirm’s records indicate that Ms. McDonald currently has two active Affirm loans used for purchases with Amazon.
Loan 719D-7OMY was processed on October 25, 2023, for a purchase with Amazon in the amount of $574.75. The repayment terms of the loan are 24 installments of $32.12 at an APR of 29.99 with payments due on the 25th of each month.
Loan 6HES-RM21 was processed on November 21, 2023, for $540.57. The repayment terms of the loan are 24 installments of $31.89 at an APR of 35.89 with payments due on the 21st of each month.
It is important to note that Affirm strictly manages the financial portion of the purchase. All matters of returns, refunds, order cancellations and fulfillment are subject to the policies put in place by the merchant. When a merchant processes a refund towards an Affirm loan, Affirm will credit the loan balance for that amount. Loans 719D-7OMY and 6HES-RM21 have both had partial refunds applied to them.
Loan 719D-7OMY received a refund of $26.99 on October 28, 2023. On November 9, 2023, the loan received two additional refunds of $238.69 and $26.99. Please note, one Affirm loan can encompass multiple Amazon order ID numbers. The Amazon order ID numbers associated with loan 719D-7OMY are 114-7043967-6760212, 114-3235218-2157027, and 114-5690160-2819455.
Loan 6HES-RM21was issued a refund amount of $269.33 on January 13, 2024. There are two Amazon order ID numbers associated with loan 6HES-RM21, which are 114-2070568-9081043 and 114-0256410-7097869.
On March 5, 2024, Ms. McDonald contacted Affirm by phone and explained that she had returned a dryer to Amazon. Ms. McDonald noted that the purchase amount of the dryer was $238.69. This amount would correspond with the refund of $238.69 that was applied to loan 719D-7OMY on November 9, 2023. Ms. McDonald also confirmed that the order number for the dryer was 114-5690160-2819455. This order number also corresponds with loan 719D-7OMY. While the assisting Affirm agent was providing information on the loans, the call was abruptly disconnected. Affirm would like to apologize for any inconvenience or frustration caused by this.
On April 23, 2024, Ms. McDonald called Affirm again and inquired about her active Affirm loans. The assisting Affimr agent confirmed that Ms. McDonald had two active Affirm loans used for purchases with Amazon and provided their associated details. Please note, Ms. McDonald can review her loans and the details of them at any time by logging into her Affirm account and navigating to “manage” tab.

Affirm Loan 6HES-RM21: Amazon Order IDs: 114-2070568-9081043 and 114-0256410-7097869
