Complaint:
Today XX/XX/2022 I'm filing this complaint only because the FTC routed me here first. I've tried to rectify the problem with this company several times. I opened a dispute for a plethora of unauthorized charges on XX/XX/2022, yes I have used the merchant before in the past, which is why I only disputed the unauthorized charges! Fast forward to XX/XX/2022 my claim was closed claiming no error were found. As I stated before on a previous complaint last time the investigation coincidently closed right before 12 CFR Part 1005 ( Reg E ) for my provisional credit to kick in. I did everything correctly. Reported the charges in a timely manner, mailed in Statement Of FrauXXXX via XXXX XXXX mail with a tracking number, and called multiply times to check on my dispute. Each time this company gave me the run around and/or blatantly hangs up in my face, asking for a callback number before every call just not to call you back. The only thing done partially right by this company is issuing me a refund for my replacement card that I ordered expedited, which took longer than advertised. To my surprise I learned that the investigation was reopened on XX/XX/2022 without any notification from this company. Had I not call in I would've never known. Extremely unprofessional but I digress. After finding out the investigation was reopened I rightfully inquired on my provisional credit as that is well within my consumer rights. I was told by one Representative since the investigation was reopened I would have to wait the full 90 days! Can you believe this? Neither can I. My last complaint I also requested proof or any documentation proving their finding on my dispute which is also within my consumer rights, so I can forward to my attorney take a look. Was my request granted? No. I suspect that I wasn't provided that information because they didn't really investigate anything, just decided to side with the merchant! Today XX/XX/2022 after finding out the investigation was reopened I asked for provisional credit as like everyone else I have bills. I was told that a request must be made to that department and it can take another XXXX business days to receive a response not to receive my credit but a response, you would think there would be some urgency since Wisely is already in violation of XXXXode of Federal Regulations. I asked for the department direct phone number or contact and was told that there is no numbers because its an " Internal Department ''. 10 days have transpired since reopening the investigation Wisely By APD has failed to comply with Regulation E and is in Violation. There is no superiors/supervisor that you can be transferred to and every phone call is designed to make you give up on your hard earned money. The customer service agents each tell you a different lie. None of the agents are educated on consumer laws or customer service. I will be looking into filing a FTC complaint also. These people are borderline crooks, extremely miseducated, and need to be retrain expeditiously. I will end with this since rules, laws, and regulations seems foreign to the Financial Institution Wisely by ADP, 12 CFR 1005.11 - Procedures for resolving errors.

( c ) Time limits and extent of investigation - ( 1 ) Ten-day period. A financial institution shall investigate promptly and, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph ( c ), shall determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days of receiving a notice of error.
