Company: BLINCLOANS, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with BLINCLOANS for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 
Unfortunately, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss. As a result, some of my payments to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important, I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I made those payments 30/60 days late on a few occasions during the course of my situation, but I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. 
I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now those late marks on my credit reports have become detrimental. I am trying to apply for a new job, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 
The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I am pleading with you to help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you.

Company: Netspend Corporation
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
I purchased  a PayPay de bit card at  XXXX  in  XXXX   XXXX , CA for {$3.00}. The monthly fee for the card was not disclosed on the packaging, and is obfuscated on the PayPal website.     The monthly fee f or a PayPal Prepaid car d is {$4.00}, and that monthly fee can not be avoided. There is no mention of the monthly fee anywhere on the  OEM pac kaging. The only way to get money off of the card is to activate the card. With  in 36 hours of activating the card, a monthly fee of {$4.00} is deducted from the price of the card. Given I paid {$3.00} for the card, the undisclosed monthly fee makes the effective purchase price of the card {$8.00}.
In the PayPal website deceptively obfuscates the monthly fee. While the fee is listed plainly as a transaction called " Debit : Plan F   ee MM/DD/YYYY '' ( e.g. " Debit : Plan Fee   XXXX / XXXX /   2017  ' ' ), t hat transaction does not show up when the user wishes to display only fees.
