I'd love to be able to review them, but they have yet to get back to me. I applied on a Monday, talked to customer service Wednesday (who then told me I would get an email response by end of day Wednesday) and still didn't hear back.

Business response:

If there are any other questions that you have about this process, please feel free to get in touch with me about this, so that I can help you personally. Best, Ana M (312) 283-0496 ana.montan... read more

Business response:

Elissa, We want to apologize again for any inconvenience. After speaking thoroughly with a few managers in finance, it has become clear that perhaps it was our new processing system that was behind this mess in the first place. In order to rectify this situation, we want to refund you whatever EFT fees from your bank that you encountered as a result of this mess, so long as you please send us screenshots of the charge as proof before we do so (support@getboro.com). As for the other $15 that was assessed by us, we will also w... read more
