The Even app is a mobile app run by XXXX. They offer services such as savings accounts and payday advances which are deducted directly from your paycheck as per their agreement with an employer. In this case, my employer is XXXX. An employee is allowed to borrow against their future paycheck and the deduction will be reflected on the following pay period. For the past 2 weeks, Even has experienced technical glitches which did not allow those deductions to take place. For my pay period ending XX/XX/XXXX a deduction in the amount of {$940.00} was supposed to take place and it did not. After speaking with Even support, I was assured that the issue was resolved so I borrowed from myself again in the amount of {$340.00}. Now for my pay period ending XX/XX/XXXX neither the {$940.00} or the {$340.00} was deducted. I was told again that this money will be taken out of the next pay period. Unfortunately, this puts the grand total at {$1200.00}. My check will not cover that amount which means that this company will deduct my entire paycheck leaving me with zero for at least 2 weeks. I know that with garnishments, a company can not take more than 25 % of an employees take home pay and although this is probably not considered a garnishment, perhaps leaving a person with a zero balance on their paycheck is unethical. I have informed Even that this has caused a financial hardship on me as my rent is due on the time in which they plan to leave me with no money. Although it was their company 's fault, Even has not offered any reasonable solutions. As per my employer, there were 998 people affected by this. That's 998 lives affected. 998 people who will work and go without a paycheck for 1-2 weeks. I tried offering them a payment plan and they said they need full payment. They just do not want to work with me towards a reasonable solution. I have informed them that as of XX/XX/XXXX I officially revoke my authorization to deduct an money from my future paychecks. I can only hope they acknowledge and obey this.
