What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from CEBA
At CEBA, we strive to provide a clear understanding of your rights as a user, particularly concerning potential refunds. CEBA primarily offers financial support to small businesses through interest-free loans, which can also lead to specific billing circumstances that may require refunds. Understanding your eligibility for refunds is crucial for effective account management and ensuring your financial decisions align with your business needs.
Below are some situations specific to CEBA that might qualify for refunds:
Loan Amount Adjustments: If there are adjustments made to your approved loan amount based on updated eligibility information or discrepancies in the application, you may qualify for a refund of any excess funds disbursed.
Payment Processing Errors: In the event of a billing clarification where payments are processed but subsequently not allocated as intended, an inquiry can be made to determine if a refund is applicable.
Ineligible Applications: If your application is deemed ineligible after initial approval, you might be eligible for a refund for any fees or processing charges incurred during the application process.
Repayment Adjustments: Should there be an error in the repayment schedule provided or miscommunication regarding payment terms, this could lead to a situation where a refund may be warranted.
Program Changes: If CEBA undergoes changes to its lending programs, which impacts your current loan terms, it’s important to review your account as this might create eligibility for adjustments or refunds on certain fees.
We encourage all users to review their specific account situations and reach out for assistance if they believe they may qualify for a refund under any of these circumstances.
