Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CT)

I applied for a rewards card with Capital One. They advertised that if you charge {$3000.00} within three months of opening an account, that you receive XXXX rewards miles. See link for that advertisement at https : //www.capitalone.comXXXX. I received my card on XXXX XXXX and started using it right away. I reached the {$3000.00} goal on a XXXX/XXXX/XXXX charge. When I inquired today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, why I had n't yet received my rewards miles, they told me that they considered the account to be opened on the date I applied for the card which was on or about XXXX XXXX! It did n't matter that it was n't received or activated until XXXX XXXX. If what they are saying is correct, then you really do n't have three month 's to reach the {$3000.00} goal because it takes them two weeks to send you the card! No place on their advertisement did it say that the three months started when you applied. And if they do have it somewhere, it is VERY WELL hidden! 

I 've had many rewards cards before and this was NEVER the case. An account does n't exist until your card is received and activated. The XXXX in rewards is supposed to be worth {$400.00} and they now say I am entitled to nothing.

Company: Coinbase, Inc. (NJ)

I have been a customer with Coinbase for 4.5 years. On XX/XX/XXXX I requested that my account be locked until XX/XX/XXXX because my laptop was stolen from me and I was paranoid that my account would be accessed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I e-mailed support Coinbase to determine the steps needed to unlock my account. I have not received any further e-mails from them since. I have called, waited 1hr and 30mins on hold and was connected to a employee who said that my support ticket would be pushed to a specialized team to handle my issue. It has been 10 days since that support call and still no contact and still no access to my account. During my time locked out of my account the value of my account holdings has risen and fallen over {$20000.00}.

As a Coinbase customer for 4.5 years, with high value holdings I thought I would be treated better than a month wait time on what should be a simple request for my account to be unlocked.

After waiting 5 months for assistance with my mortgage payments because I lost job the lender only offered a forberence plan that would then put me past due. Th offer is still unaffordable based on just my husbands income. They intentionally want me to default on my loan. After Ive begged for a modification, which I am eligible for they refuse to help. I explained to the underwriter that reviewed my paperwork that {$820.00} a month still doesnt meet the requirement of 31 % of my new household income. Also, if I default on my payments it affects my credit which will also affect my chances of finding a job. When Ive applied for jobs I need to pass a background and credit check, if Im delinquent it wont help me get out of his financial hardship.

I recently obtained a copy of all 3 of my credit reports and noticed numerous unauthorized fraudulent accounts and two that should have been paid off. I disputed these accounts with each bureau and received very quick responses in less than two weeks saying they were either updated or remained.

I have also filed a complaint/report with XXXX XXXX County Sheriff ( Waiting on Report Number ) and the FTC Report Number XXXX. I submitted copies of social and id, police report, and FTC report along with dispute letter and notice of my identity theft. 

I 've also requested fraud alerts on all of my bureaus.

Company: CL Holdings LLC (FL)

A new debt popped up on my credit report listed for XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX for {$140.00}, an electric bill from the state of Michigan. It was listed as the debt collector being XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX on XXXX to get a copy of the original bill but it was from XXXX and they did n't have record of it once it was sold to XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, I was told to contact them. I called XXXX XXXX on XXXX and was referred to XXXX XXXX XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX, apparently they were handling the collection for XXXX XXXX. I contacted total card inc on XXXX and told them I have never received anything from them about the debt. I also informed them that they placed the debt as being from XXXX XXXX when I have n't lived in Michigan in at least 5 years. The representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX  told me that she would not send me the original bill, she would only send me their company invoice which would just state how much I owe them, not the original debt date. I told her I had contacted XXXX and that the original debt date was XXXX, charged of XXXX XXXX. The representative from total card inc then told me that they would put the correct dates of the debt on my credit report only if I paid them the {$140.00}. To my knowledge I thought this was illegal. The representative told me I could email XXXXXXXXXXXX for a validation of the debt but since XXXX XXXX XXXX bought the debt there 's no guarantee I 'll receive the original bill and to just pay it so it reflects correctly. I want the correct dates of this debt and I believe I am owed the original bill with the correct dates of the debt.

In mid-XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from Diversified about a debt owed to XXXX. I was unaware the debt existed, but paid it nonetheless. I was just thankful that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act allows individuals 30 days to address a collection account before it shows up on one 's credit report. 

Unfortunately, this account showed up on my credit report anyway ; even though I paid inside of the 30 days allotted. To make matters worse, I am in the process of purchasing a home, and the appearance of this {$110.00} bill dropped my credit scores 35 points and is now preventing me from completing my mortgage.
