As title says. Citizens charged 13th payment for existing iPhone iUP payments even though the new iPhones were pre ordered and pre approved.
Will a credit be issued by Apple? Anyone any ideas?

Don't think there is anyway Citizens knows you placed an order or nothing official until you activate the new phone. You could cancel and they would not have collected payment. I think will all be worked out once you get new one activated and turn in.

Well since we go through the pre-approval process for iUP. Citizens should have info about our current loan and it should be linked to the iPhone (7plus). And once a new approval is done, a new loan is created and could be linked to the existing loan. They could put on hold for 30days on the older loan if the 7plus isn’t returned within that time frame then continue charging it.

They should have info about both our loans I would expect.
 
Why would you be getting a full refund? You own the phone for the week. Maybe they'd give you a prorated refund but you shouldn't expect the entire amount back I wouldn't think.

Yup pro rated is fine. Just need some info from Apple or citizens somewhere mentioning this.
Coz Apple earlier told that the existing loan would be put on hold for 30 days after the pre-approval and pre-order.

Just not the way normal banking works.
-what if you cancel
-what if this is an X and delivery is 6 weeks
- what if you don't return your current iPhone

Why would Citizens put themself at risk. They loaned the funds not Apple.
 
would they know once you return the phone? that's technically when your contract with them ends on the old phone.
