Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

I applied for a XXXX Discover Card about 8months ago, and everything was fine when I was paying with my XXXX account. However I move away to go to college so my mom gave me her debit card to process the payments. Discover card took my payments but never told me the debit card was not a form of payment that they use, so about two payments were rejected. I then put my mom on the phone so she could see what was going on and she is the one that found out about the debit card not being a form of payment. My mom then used her checking bank account, which was also rejected. My mom put the bank on the other line with the discovered card agent, to make sure everything was ok. Which discover card said that it would be ok, however that payment was rejected also. Discover stated it was rejected saying no account found. Instead of discover working this out with me knowing that one of their agents realized that it was a debit card I was paying with they still decided to close my account., due to the payments being rejected 4 times, which was because discovered never advise me that they did not take debit cards. My mother called in again to try it again, and now after two months of trying to get these payments to go through and agent advise her that they do except debit cards, but they have to transfer you to a different number, so this has caused my credit to go down or look bad due to discover not accepting my payments and not advising me properly, due to my account now being closed. 
I would like for discover to open my account back up, especially since I am still paying the bill on-time.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA the XXXX credit bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

I sent letters out to all 3 credit bureaus regarding items on my credit report that are not accurate which is a FCRA violation and you must abide by the law. All information I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I am the one sending the letters and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair or 3rd party. I know this is a violation of my rights due to the bureaus not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I just want these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I am trying to purchase a home soon and these negative items are holding my score back.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

I opened up a XXXX XXXX rewards credit card. The credit card had about {$60.00} of XXXX rewards. The rewards have since vanished. This is not acceptable. I want my XXXX rewards back.
Complaint sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

I am being contacted by Conn 's Home Plus. They Start calling shortly after XXXX, if I do not answer the first time ( I am working ) then they will call again back to back. I have sometimes received as many as 40 calls in a 24 hour period. The number I listed is just the most current number they call from. There are more, many more numbers. I understand I owe this debt, but they start calling when I am only 1 day late.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

We attempted to purchase an oven from Home Depot. They failed to deliver it on time and we ultimately cancelled it. They subsequently charged us for it. We called them and they were supposed to credit the account but instead sent it to collection and eventually to the credit reporting agencies.

We got them to admit their mistake and remove it from our general credit report but when we went to apply for a mortgage for our new house, we found our credit score was low because this was on the 'mortgage credit report ' which is different from general.

We called Home Depot again to have them correct the issue. They 'investigated ' and then came back with a letter stating they wouldn't change anything and that they were correct. 
How can our credit be tarnished for something we NEVER RECEIVED???? 

Between the time it took to try to resolve this and the increasing mortgage rates and our now lower than expected score, our mortgage will cost us roughly an extra {$500.00} / month which is {$180000.00} over the life of the mortgage!!! this is unlawful and unfair. We are paying for our children to go to college. We can't afford this. It's deplorable.

Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

On Tuesday, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX p.m. central standard time, I called Equifax at XXXX XXXX the number on their website XXXX to request a credit freeze.

At XXXX p.m. central standard time, I called the original number again ( XXXX ). I told the gentleman that answered the phone what had happened, and asked if he could help me. He proceeded to read directly from the web page about what my options were. I told him that I had already read and been through those options, and that now I wanted to freeze my account. He ignored me several times as I was telling him that I had already been through those options, and he kept on reading as if I was not saying anything. He ended the call with a scripted line saying, " ok, you do n't have any questions, thank you. ''

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

On XX/XX/2021, after speaking with a supervisor in regards to receiving a credit due to canceling a XXXX purchase for a Car battery - wouldnt arrive there in time before the Auto Center closed. XXXX had not even had the battery prepared and/or ready for pickup! 
I was denied being granted a credit since it was reversed on XXXX side ; I would have to wait. I was livid because I need my car to work! XXXX confirmed that they cancelled the transaction, its now in my banks hands. Which I had/still have the reference number for the conversation thread and cancellation email. Still I will just have to wait. 
My account is now under review and any money I do have in that account is untouchable. 

I was not given any notification or anything. 
No explanation as to why. 

Just told to wait. 

Living paycheck to paycheck, I do not have the privilege to simply wait. This is where the direct deposit for my paycheck goes, this is how I pay my bills and how I maintain my livelihood. 
I dont have access to any other accounts or money! 

On XXXX XXXX, I got a rep on the phone he was unable to give me any answers as to why this was even going on! 
I impatiently asked to speak with a supervisor. 45min later, the supervisor tells me the exact same thing unknown as to why my account has a hold and has no ETA on when it will be lifted. 

I Have absolutely no access to my money, THE MONEY I WORKED FOR! 

For something that Im not 100 % CERTAIN about because NO ONE HAS TOLD ME ANYTHING. NOTHING!! 
Just to WAIT! 

This is not right! 
I have a loan coming from my 401k into that account TOMORROW ; due to me already being dangerously behind on ALL ON MY BILLS & and now I have no access to it! 

They sent a message to my account but I am unable to view it, since I am denied access to even sign in! 

How is this legal? No heads up. No notification. No explanation. NOTHING. 
Just Boom.XXXX Denied access due to being under review- under review for what?! For what?! 

I get paid THIS WEEK THURSDAY and the loan is set to hit my account tomorrow. 

I need access to my money ; My car insurance cancelled today My car is STILL unable to start, Already has a fairly good chance of being repossessed if not paid by this week Friday! 
Soon my lights will go off! 

All I am being told is to wait. 
WHAT EXACTLY AM I WAITING ON?! 

ITS MY MONEY ; I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE NERVE THAT CITIBANK HAS TO COMPLETELY DISREGARD THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR LIVELIHOOD! 

ARE YOU ALL AWARE OF THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE AS WELL AS THE MENTAL ANGUISH YOU ARE CAUSING?!! FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION! 

I WANT MY MONEY - THATS IT! 

AFTER RESEARCHING HELP ONLINE, I NOTICE THAT YOU ALL DO THIS A LOT! 
YOU ALL NEED TO GIVE ME AND ANYBODY ELSE YOUR DOING THIS TO, RELEASE OUR MONEY!! 

No average ETA or explanation provided FOR this. 

This is inhumane. This is dangerous.

Complaint sub-issue: Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt

I started using XXXX advertising on XX/XX/2018 to start marketing my insurance and consulting services. Before signing up, I was told that I would be given {$300.00} in Ad credit which is why I joined. I would not have signed up otherwise if not misled by the company, XXXX. I was given a small bill which was taken out of the {$300.00} and then the following month, XXXX didn't take the money from the remaining credit which was over {$200.00}. Instead, XXXX started referring to the credit as a " bonus '' and after multiple calls to XXXX to fix this issue, nothing happened as XXXX refused to acknowledge the credit. XXXX sent this falsified information that they claim I owe them to a 3rd party reporting agency and started damaging my credit in an attempt to solicit payment from me. I've taken the email correspondence between the company and me and converted them into PDFs for people to see the deceptive practices that were used by XXXX.
