Complaint:
I took out a XXXX Credit Card in XXXX of XXXX as I was at the time a frequent shopper looking to rebuild credit to obtain a newer vehicle and home down the line. Things went exceptionally well with having this credit card until the gaps of employment from XXXX of XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX in which the latter resulted in me losing my home, my vehicle, without financial assistance as I am estranged and disowned by EVERYONE in my life for personal reasons. I was also denied unemployment due to previous reasons of not reporting new employment ( which was relayed that I had never been in that position of having to do so for years as I had maintained stable employment until XXXX of XXXX ), and I tried EVERYTHING in my power to avoid this situation. I explained to them SEVERAL TIMES that I was not in a position to pay at the time, however when I started to get back on my feet, I paid what I could and in XXXX of XXXX the account was INCORRECTLY charged-off because an incompetent employee WHO DID NOT DO THEIR JOB in WHICH THEY CONTINOUSLY DENY AND DENY TIME AFTER TIME. I made a plan to pay the account in full as opposed to a XXXX payment plan which would have been tedious as I am currently homeless without a vehicle, I sometimes sleep in abandoned buildings for air-conditioning and a warm shower. I also sleep on the streets and motels when the city provides vouchers for stays. I was in a six-year XXXX XXXX in which I am a victim of XXXX XXXX, I have had my teeth broken, XXXX XXXX, had to take unpaid XXXX leave from a part-time that was barely paying the bills to begin with, I was also diagnosed with XXXX which limits my food choices that results in me NOT eating most days and in spite of the mentioned circumstances I managed to catch up on my bills including pay this account off IN FULL W/O a settlement plan. I complained to the XXXX SEVERAL TIMES ON THEM AND THEY STILL DO NOT ADMIT TO ANY WRONGDOING!!! ADDITIONALLY, THEY DID NOT PROPERLY VERIFY XXXX  IN TERMS OF MY ACCOUNT, THEY KNEW I WAS EVICTED AND I COULD NOT RECIEVE ANY MAIL AT ALL ALONG WITH BEING PROHIBITED FROM BEING ON THE PROPERTY AFTER MY EVICTION. THE LANDLORD WROTE ME LETTER STATING THAT I WAS NOT ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY NOR COULD MAIL COME W/O PRIOR APPROVAL SO THEREFORE I NEVER RECEIVED A LICK OF XXXX VERIFICATION FROM THESE UNEDUCATED STUPID REPRESENTATIVES WHO LACK EVEN ONE XXXX  BRAIN CELL AND NEED TO LEARN RESPECT ALONG WITH LACK OF EMPATHY!!! I PROVIDED THEM WITH HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION AND ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS " SORRY TO HEAR THAT '' IF THEY WERE XXXX SORRY THEY WOULD HAVE HONORED MY REQUEST!!!! I AM TRYING TO GET A PLACE TO LIVE AS I AM SICK OF LIVING ON THE STREETS, LIVING MY LIFE, NOT HAVING A VEHICLE, FRIENDS, A HUSBAND WITH A FAMILY, ETC. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO FIX THIS XXXX XXXX  IMMEDIATELY!!! ALSO, THEY ALSO KNEW THAT I WAS EVICTED AND I DO NOT LIVE THERE!!!! Document passwords : Target # XXXX & XXXX # XXXX
