Company: Square Inc
State: WA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Square Customer service agents do not understand enough English to properly process a a simple disputed merchant charge on the card. 

My original filed written dispute clearly states the following : Merchant Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Order Number : - XXXX Transaction Date : XX/XX/2021 Transaction Amount : {$19.00} Reason for dispute : Received Defective Product Square 's first customer service agent just cut and pasted in their response were the agent requested that exact information again, which means their agents are either not reading or not understanding simple straightforward English. 

Then, the second agent, thought the complaint was for a product that was not received yet, so cut and pasted in a request for all of the shipping information and so on, again indicating their agents are either not reading or not understanding simple straightforward English, because a defective product by definition means the product was received. 

This type of horrible customer service should not be allowed, because it makes filing a debit or credit card dispute extremely difficult.

Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
The credit reporting agencies are negatively impacting our credit scores, if we win a dispute against a credit company. I won a dispute against XXXX XXXX, after it was proven that they cheated & defrauded me. The account shows as Legally Paid in Full. Yet, the credit reporting agencies insist on making ME wear the Scarlet Letter for 7 years! <P/>The credit reporting agencies instructed me to contact the company to ask that they send a correction. XXXX will not help me! I proved them to be cheats & liars! They are laughing at the fact that the credit reporting agencies are helping them to XXXX me, by rubbing salt in my wounds! <P/>It is not fair, that I fight against someone trying to XXXX me over, I win, I prove them cheats & liars, and my reward? I am forced to carry the dreaded SERIOUS DELINQUENCY on my credit record for 7 years! How is that fair? I was a victim, and now, I am a victim again! For 7 years, I am a XXXX, because I refused to allow someone else to cheat me?? <P/>
I just finished a call with Experian. They insist on keeping the bad mark against me, even though they know all the material facts, that I had won a dispute against a company trying to cheat me. They insist on making me pay the price for something I did nothing to deserve. This is just wrong.

Complaint:
XX/XX/2019 I bought a lawn mower from Home Depot. I was told by the clerk if I opened a Home Depot credit card account I would not be charged any interest for 6 months. When the 6 months was passed I was charged {$350.00} in interest. I had no idea that if I didn't pay the card off in the first 6 months I would be charged that kind of interest for the first 6 months. What a CON job! I '' m single, retired and on a fixed income and would never of opened this card if I would have known this would happen. It should have been explained to me. Maybe the clerks get a bonus for getting naive people like me to open accounts. I called Home Depot and complained but they just blew me off. I asked if I would get a responce from Home Depot and was told probably not. That was a few months ago.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. 

I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file litigation.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
At approximately  XXXX  CST on  XXXX / XXXX / 2017 , I logged onto my chase credit card account to find it closed. This happened to coincide with my declining of a mortgage offer from chase on  XXXX / XXXX /   2017  which the terms were awful. I have been an outstanding customer with a on time payments and a   XXXX   balance. I reached out to the customer service team, was transferred and put on hold 5 times before " a supervisor '' communicated that the account was closed due to chase 's decision. I asked for what reason,  XXXX  said that is the only thing I can tell you. It is ironic and silly that any creditor would close a perfect customers card immediately after my declining of their offer for the mortgage. It seems illegal and bad business practice. Once I told the supervisor I was recording the call she responded with I can not proceed further. How can anyone be sure these people are on their best behavior if they are n't being recorded? And what is their to gain or hide by doing so. I just wanted honesty and to uphold the representatives to the truth. I have never contacted the CFPB or BBB, but I feel like  XXXX  did this with bad intentions, also my  credit score is af fected from them closing my account and hampering my debt-to income before purchasing a home. I can not believe  XXXX  has treated me this way.
