Complaint:
XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2021 was told that I did not give permission to my boyfriend to close account and they noted that they did not talk to him after he had in fact talked to a lady for over 30 mins. The man was very rude and would not hear me out to validate and transferred me to XXXX and she said there was three card numbers and I do not have one card. I told them to close account numerous times and they refuse. They said they mailed a new card and I never received it! Then she said a letter was mailed XX/XX/XXXX explaining why charges were on the card for XXXX to XXXX. The letter will have more info than she could give me, she stated! Also was the first to tell me there was a credit on another card for XXXX and could not tell me how I would get the credit back and said another card had a balance of XXXX to XXXX XXXX and I disputed that did not do. Then she told me she would have to transfer me back to customer service where they were rude. I told her again I wanted account closed. Then she said the customer service would have to do it, but they had already had told me that they could not do it and that is why they transferred me. She then put me on hold to await for transfer. I have been trying to close this account since the fraud activity happened early XXXX. They were supposed to get back to me from 30-60 days from that and that time has come and gone. I do not understand why this is taking so long. I feel like they are a fraud company, and was suggested by them from XXXX  to build my credit after identity theft is the only reason I did it and had to pay XXXX for a XXXX credit line which is ridiculous! I want my money back from that as well. Plus, you have to pay online and there is two fees just to pay them money one is XXXX and the other is XXXX. I would advise people to clearly stay away from this company. I want this solved ASAP! I am tired of being put on hold, and transferred for over an hour now. I can not do anything else but this and my day is already full and I am very sick with XXXX and I do not need any stress according to my doctor, but it seems there is no getting away from it! I am sending this forward without talking to customer service again. I will update if and when I actually get to talk to someone. I have been on the phone since XXXX XXXX this XXXX  with all kind of phone calls and problems from health to trying to work of which I can not do effectively. I keep getting interrupted from collection agencies. Finally, someone else to talk to! XXXX answered and she said she was sorry and she said will process closure of account! I would not get money back for 10 weeks! I would have to fax to expedited and would not give me the card number of card but I could use SSN. I requested validation of closure id number. XXXX. She hung up on me before the conversation ended and I was requesting documentation of all this via email. Not sure she heard me! I still want it in writing.
