Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
Fortiva Credit Card owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but controlled by a third party. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX may not know of the illegal/ predatory lending practices that the third party is committing, or maybe they do know and don't care. 

Fortiva is more like all the other credit cards owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They target low income/ and consumers with low credit scores. Banks like XXXX XXXX XXXX get rich off the poor/low income consumers, They take advantage of the low income. 

Companies like this one, break the law in every State they do Business with.

They mislead, false advertisement. They get you approved for one of there cards, make promises and once your approved they change the terms and conditions without consent.

In my case, they violated the truth in lending Act. Promised me certain terms and conditions and changed those once I applied and was approved. Charging monthly fees, yearly fees, not posting the payments when they're made in order to made extra money from interest. 

I have paid a total of {$640.00} since I've had this credit card, and my balance never goes down, enough since I don't use it. Each month those show my balance above the {$700.00} credit limit, after making payments, my balance finally comes just {$10.00} below the limit balance {$690.00} the next month when my bill is due, my balance shows above the credit limit. 

Credit Card companies like Fortiva is no different than payday loans that charge upwards of 500 %. Make your min payment of {$60.00} and not use it, only to find your next months balance still only {$10.00} below the credit limit. This Business main objection is to get rich, while making sure the CEO gets rich while robbing the poor and less fortune. It is very sad.

They're also violation the NC Consumer Protection Act here in North Carolina.

If CFPB doesn't do anything to stop these fraudsters from ripping off the low income consumers of this Country, than the only other thing I know to do is have my Attorney XXXX  to file a lawsuit, possibly a class-action after we contact other consumers with the same or similar issues. When it comes to class-actions, we do have a work around the so-called arbitration cause to pursue a class action. These fraudsters are also violating my rights under the FCRA but more so my rights under the NCFCRA which entitles me to damages.
