Company: Netspend Corporation
State: PA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
I opened an account with the 7-11 Netspend reloadable debit card. The initial deposit was {$20.00}. I then called the number to activate it and deposited an additional {$50.00}, which brought the balance to {$70.00}. The next day I tried using the card and was declined. After a few more unsuccessful attempts, I called the company to complain. I was told it needed to be activated first. However, it was activated and accepting deposits. Next, I was required to verify my ID by sending a copy of my license. This process would take 3-5 days to complete. I waited 1 week and still could not use the card. I called a 2nd time and was told I needed to send a copy of my social security card, in addition to my liscense, in order to use the card. At this point, it has been almost 4 weeks since I bought the card. I refused to send a copy of my ss card to a viritual stranger as it is not legal to request this information. I had verbally given my information twice so far. I argued with the rep and was told " the only way to activate the account is providing my ss card information ". I said no and demanded a refund. The balance available was approximately {$50.00} and change because they deducted maintenance fees for a card I never used. I asked for the entire amount of {$70.00} to b e refunded. I was told they would send a check, but no such check has come. That was 3 weeks ago. I still can't access my money and no refund check has come in the mail.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
We paid off a home equity line with Fulton Bank on XX/XX/XXXX. They still have not reported it to the credit bureaus. I have met with a manager at a branch and she is doing everything she can. I have sent Fulton Bank a email thru thier system to please report the payoff and account is closed and I have talked to thier customer service number, who also sent the request ahead to the loan department. It is now over 30 days and my XXXX  account still does not show it paid off. I have another loan with a variable rate I am looking to change to fixed asap and a really good 0 % consolidation to apply for, but can't because the Fulton Bank loan still shows not paid with a XXXX balance. As soon as that shows paid, my credit score will significantly improve and it also will show much less debt owed where my approval amounts and assurances will be much better. I feel urgency to get this done asap where interest rates keep going up frequently.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX reported the credit agencies that I settled my account for a lesser amount owed. This authorization must be accompanied with a verbal approval or a signed Settlement Authorization Form. I did not approve either. I did not authiorize a third party to act on my behalf.

I have requested that XXXX XXXX provides me with the signed Settlement Authorization Form ; which they have failed to produce. Due to a third party acting on my behalf without my approval, this action by law is identity theft. XXXX XXXX XXXX also reported to the credit agencies, that the XXXXXXXX XXXX payment was late ; which is false. It is also being reported that the accout was paid in full on XX/XX/2022. One has to be false ; which results in the removal of the account by law.

Complaint:
Dear Transunion To Whom It May Concern : I was in the process of applying for Insurance and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate, incomplete and unverifiable information reporting on my credit report.

I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise I saw all these inaccurate items that I have previously asked you to block.

I was a victim of Identity Theft. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605b ( a ) ( 2 ) you are required to remove any accounts opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority.

Also in addition to Section 1681c-2 ( a ) you are required to block any information in the file that I have identified that resulted from identity theft.

I have provided documents that can prove it. By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain Insurance due to this inaccurate information reporting.

I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( i ) can be considered an adverse action. 
Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time.If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. 
I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports. 
Please investigate every piece of information and remove these items below from my credit report.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I wrote a letter to our Mortgage Bank as we've been making late payments on our mortgage. We haven't missed a payment but being continuously late is not good. 
Last year we went into Bankruptcy, Chapter XXXX, because we had money stolen from our checking account due to a breach on XXXX. We only lost {$8000.00} but that was all the savings we had in order to pay our Mortgage payments on time. 
As time went on my husband was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The amounts we had to pay for tests and new medications really took a toll on our finances. 
My husband is XXXX and I am XXXX. We have tried looking for jobs but no one wants to hire us when they find out how old we are. 

We have reached out to our Mortgage Bank, Flagstar Bank only to be given the run around and told they are working on a solution without ever writing or communicating with us. I constantly call to find out the status of our request and be told we are missing documents. I have sent documents 3 times. I just called again on XX/XX/2019 and was told that I need to re-apply as the documents are not legible. Really? Why wasn't I told this before. I told them that I never receive any kind of mail from them and have to constantly call in order to see if anything is being done. 

My husband and I are so stressed and desperate to come up with a solution. We have asked for a forbearance plan of 2 months in order to catch up and make the monthly payments on time with no late fees in the future. 

If we have no choice we will eventually have to sell our home. We have accumulated about {$50000.00} or more in equity, so a forbearance plan would be ideal. 

We have been working with Flagstar 's Loss Mitigation Dept. and now have to re-submit all the paperwork, which is huge. 

Can you help us? 
Thank you in advance
