The company shut my card off. They won't allow me a cess to my money. I've done everything they've asked me to do several times regarding ID verification and no one is responding to the ID verification. I don't know why they insisted on id verification to begin with. One day they just shut the card off and won't deal with me. It takes an hour and a half on average to get a hold of them every time I call. No joke. Some of them are quite rude as well.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (AL)

In the early XXXX 's I had a credit card called XXXX. It went out of business long ago but I am still paying on my balance. They put up a website to take payments but they make it nearly impossible to get into it. Every single time I try to log in it gives me trouble by not taking my password. It asks to change passwords often too, and then it wo n't take the new password. Once you try three times it locks you out for three hours. Today is my deadline and I tried to get in to make my payment. It would n't take my password and then locked me out for three hours. By the time three hours is up, I will have a late charge because my payment will be late. I tried calling their XXXX number to pay by phone but there 's apparently no way to get anything but balance, etc from that number. This is ridiculous and I am tired of becoming anxious every time I try to pay this bill. Maybe they will answer you but I doubt it.

However, there is no date of when the so called bankruptcy was dismissed and is honestly reporting information well past the max of ten years. This mortgage was paid off in good standing. I put a dispute in on XX/XX/XXXX after I contacted Chase mortgage and XXXX regarding this issue. Chase Mortgage stated that it is XXXX 's problem bc they are recognizing a bankruptcy and just reporting it. XXXX says its XXXX problem bc they are the one not updating the information and keep reporting that the bankruptcy is dismissed. The dispute came back XXXX with no change in the results I contacted Chase Mortgage again and XXXX and placed new disputes but neither was willing to work to change the issue and continue to blame each other. I have put in another dispute and contacted a lawyer for further advise. XXXX does not report this account at all.
