Used one of my Capital One Credit Cards to purchase XXXX gift cards at XXXX location in XXXX XXXX, yet when using that purchased card ( and amount ) to load the value into my XXXX account it showed as no value on the card.

The next day passed, and then the following day I followed up again, in person. Again, I was asked to provide my name and number, and they still didn't follow up are offer refund for a faulty product they offer. It's been several days beyond that point and still they have not follow up on their statements or promise. 
I've alerted Capital One of the issue, and am looking for resolution.

Complaint:
In 2019 I was XXXX  to the country, I was so happy that I got my XXXX  and I could finally be able to work. I didn't know that they could scam you with checks and job offers. I was just happy to be able to help my family. I became the victim of. a scammer, they offered me a job, they sent me a form to fill in, which I clicked and they also hacked my email and computer and took all my information. My " employer '' gave me fake checks and made me do errands for him, all of them were gift cards. I realized a few days later that everything was a lie, when my bank account was overdraft and the money wasn't back, the lady from the bank told me how everything works and I found out I have been scammed, crying and desperate to get back the money, the scammer went away and I took all the evidence to the police, emails, texts, forms and phone numbers. 
I haven't been able since to open a bank account with my husband and it's extremely frustrating. It wasn't my fault, I didn't take the money, it was somebody that was preying on my goodwill to work and make a living. 
Not only that, I haven't been able to have a credit card or debit card because of that, now I'm trying to open a business with my husband and this could also be harmful to me and my family 's well being. 
It has been years and years, I asked a few times that this information is removed from my report, since I was a victim. I'm still a victim. I sent the police report and emails and everything in my power to prove my innocence and to make clear that I want to be free of that harmful information. 

15 USC 1681 ( b ) protects me from this fraudulent, harmful and discriminative issues. 
I have been harmed, discriminated and it's hurting me and my family. 

I'm asking that all the information regarding fraudulent activity is removed, the late payments that were occurred because of it and all the information that is preventing me from living a normal life, since the company is in clear violation of 15 USC 1681 ( b ).

Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
I lost my job in XXXX of XXXX due to XXXX  hardships with my employer. Due to being on unemployment for several months at a much lower income and then having to take a job at a salary of more than $ XXXX less annually, I could not afford to pay my high rate interest credit card through Citibank. I opened this credit card in XXXX of XXXX and was never late on a payment, and always paid at least the minimum amount due. When I was in tremendous financial hardship due to XXXX however, Citibank was unwilling to work with me to try and work out a payment plan, all the while charging me over 25 % interest each month. 

My mortgage lender ( XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX ) was so helpful and offered me a loan forbearance plan to where I could pause my mortgage payments and nothing would be reported to my credit that I was late or behind in payments, and I am not being charged any finance charges or late fees. My mortgage lender is still being so helpful and working with me again now and they have extended my forbearance plan XXXX times so now it runs through XX/XX/XXXX. In addition, my auto loan company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has also been so helpful and has allowed me to make my monthly car payment in XXXX installments each month with no interest, late fees or penalties. 

Citibank on the other hand, is a predatory lender and has been completely ruthless, repeatedly calling and harassing me and demanding I pay the full amount that is past due plus the new finance charges that accrue each month, even though I haven't used this credit card since XXXX. 

I know my rights outlined by our United States Constitution and what Citibank is doing is unlawful by charging me such an outrageous interest rate and late fees. 

My credit scores were in the mid to high XXXX 's in XXXX and now I am barely in the mid XXXX 's now. 

Citibank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX I, XXXX, as Assignee of Citibank , N.A . ) has filed a lawsuit against me ( Case # XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Illinois ) and I have to appear in court on XX/XX/XXXX to defend myself. I can not afford to hire a lawyer to help defend me. I can't even afford the nearly {$6.00} per gallon of gas each week to get to and from work, let alone food for my family and I have been a struggling single mother for almost 18 years. 

I really need your help. Thank you for your time. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

Complaint:
It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX XXXX has denied me of credit. I, the NATURAL PERSON, Creditor, and Applicant, am aware of the letter that was sent to me which is an adverse action pursuant to 15 USC 1691 ( c ) ( d ). As the ORIGINAL creditor, I initiated a consumer credit transaction, using my credit card pursuant to 15 USC 1602 ( L ) making XXXX XXXX XXXX an assignee pursuant to 15 USC 1691a ( e ). I DID NOT fill out a Loan Application because banks can not loan money pursuant to 12 USC 1431. Furthermore, that is an Deceptive Form identified in the FDCPA pursuant to 15 USC 1692j. I DID NOT receive any benefit from that transaction as it negatively impaired my consumer report proving the transaction did in fact go through. It shall be unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with such respect to ANY aspect of a credit transaction as Congress states pursuant to 15 USC 1691 ( a ). Lastly, Congress states " No credit card shall be issued except in response to a request or application thereof '' pursuant to 15 USC 1642. This is my request! It is shocking to me that Wells Fargo takes pride in their ignorance of Consumer Protection. As a result of the adverse action provided to me. I have lost confidence within the banking system
