Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
My husband suffered catastrophic injuries in Fall of XXXX and his former Sunday XXXX class, mostly comprised of elderly and retirees, scraped together and sent us a XXXX XXXX card with a {$300.00} balance. We never used or opened the card all of these months. In XX/XX/XXXX, I opened the card to use at XXXX. The card was declined repeatedly. The XXXX employee told me to call the number on the back. I did and I could not speak to anyone but the call indicated that the card had a {$0.00} balance. I then opted to receive a list of transactions and all I heard were repetitive dates with {$5.00} transactions. Its impossible for anyone to have used the card or access the account because it remained sealed and in our physical possession the entire time. I have no idea and received no indication that XXXX XXXX would drain this account in {$5.00} increments. In fact, the opposite is factual : the outside printing indicated the card would expire in XX/XX/XXXX and there was a {$4.00} fee that our Sunday XXXX members paid in addition to the {$300.00}.

made goodwill gesture to allow the agency to correct the erroneous reporting, and I have maintained a careful record of my communications with the agency and now I am filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Attorney Generals office due to the non-compliance of the agency. I do not agree with the item listed below which still appears on my credit report, even after a so-called Investigation. I would like this item immediately re- investigated. These inaccuracies are highly injurious to my credit rating. I have been turned down for job opportunities and many purchases due to this inaccurate report. The following is inaccurate : Company : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX REASONS TO INVESTIGATE AND VALIDATE THE ACCOUNT : validation of debt not given as requested, Date opened is incorrect, inaccurate payment dates, I DID NOT provide written permission for this account to even be reporting to or on my credit report, Wrong date of last activity noted, Wrong balance listed, wrong payment dates listed .Wrong date of last activity noted, Wrong balance listed, Wrong credit limit amount listed. It is my understanding with MY RIGHTS AND federal consumer laws that they will check these items with the creditor who has posted them and MUST provide documented validation of all reported inaccuracies and validates debt. I WANT THIS ACCOUNT AND ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION THAT IS NOT VALIDATED AND DOCUMENTS PROVIDED TO ME REMOVED FROM MY CREDIT REPORT.
