Complaint:
After reviewing my credit report I noticed a fraudulent closed credit card account in the amount of {$430.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I reached out to the company around XX/XX/2020 and advised them that this is not my account and that I am a victim of identity fraud. XXXX XXXX XXXX replied that since they are the original owners of the account that they don't have to validate the information. I mailed a FTC identity theft affidavit to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020 and they still refuse to remove this fraud account. I disputed this account through the credit bureaus and they responded on XX/XX/2020 that they were able to validate the account but did not provide me with the validation or any proof that this account belongs to me.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was trying to buy a grill for my husband 's birthday at XXXX when I saw their app showing a special saying, " Get {$75.00} with a new Apple Card. When you spend $ 75+ with Apple Pay at XXXX XXXX stores, online, or directly from the XXXX XXXX app. Must open by XX/XX/30 '' I thought it was a great deal and applied for the Apple Card. I was immediately approved. I bought the grill ( {$590.00} ) and was happy to get {$75.00} back. After a couple of weeks, I didn't see the credit reflected in my account, so I contacted Apple Card customer support. On XX/XX/XXXX, the specialist XXXX said they opened a dispute for the {$75.00} after I explained the situation and sent the screenshots. I never got any answer. Last Friday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I contacted them again, and the specialist XXXX said they couldn't see any dispute in my account. I feel extremely disrespected because I should never be wasting my time fighting for something that is my right since I followed all the instructions and did all steps for this special. It's ridiculous, and I would NEVER have opened an account with Apple Card if it wasn't for this {$75.00} bonus. I had multiple chances before and didn't even consider it ; this was the first time because I thought it was a great deal and opened one just because of it.

Complaint:
During covid 19 I applied for a deferral online like requested from the bank. This deferral request was in XX/XX/2020 and I followed up with numerous phone calls to see if it was approved. I was assured it was received and they were working on it. I also received notifications about my loan being late which I called again and was told they were computer generated and they were still working on the deferral and were just behind because of being shorthanded. 

It is now XXXX and I am being told my deferral never went thru and the payments I have made since XXXX when I resumed making payments have all gone to Interest and late fees. I never received anything saying my deferral was not approved. 

I have contacted the bank and they tell me there is nothing they can do. This is clearly wrong, deceptive and fraudulent. This bank is preying on customers in a time of crisis.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX -I received notification about debt through National Credit Systems , Inc . I immediately set up payment arrangements with XXXX XXXX Collection Representative. I scheduled 3 payments of {$75.00} first payment for XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the representative again on two other occasions XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for payments of {$75.00} for six months. These payments did not post though I gave the Representative checking account information on each of the dates stated above. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, NCS reported the debt to the credit bureaus. I again called Mr. XXXX to inquire why the account was reported to the credit reports and he couldn't answer the question. I asked for a letter stating the payment arrangements including a letter stating the account will be removed from the credit report. Mr. XXXX stated he couldn't give me either letter because NCS doesn't do that. I asked to be a supervisor and was directed to 2 separate individuals who did not answer their phones. I have requested 3 different times to talk with a supervisor, promised callbacks, and have not heard from anyone. I requested from Mr. XXXX the ability to make payments online and he stated NCS doesn't do that either. He refused to provide documentation to the above payment arrangements and the request of date removal from credit bureaus.
