Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Incomm Holdings Inc. (WI)

Purchased Prepaid Visa from Vanilla to give to my son during travel outside the State. He made 1 small purchase which went through. 
He tried to make a 2nd purchase, and the card declined. I went to the website on XX/XX/XXXX ( Vanillagift.com ) to check balance of card and the site would not recognize my card. I called Vanilla at the XXXX to lodge complaint on XX/XX/XXXX They told me they " detected fraud '' and that there was a {$53.00} balance. I told them all the information on the card that they requested. They refused to turn the card back on. 

I told them I want a refund for the balance or a new card. They requested my address to mail out a new card and said I would receive one within 30 days, or they might request a copy of my original purchase receipt ( Which I have ).

I still have not received any communication from them. There is no contact information on the website for an address or even an email. The phone number is all they provide, with agents who barely speak XXXX and difficult to understand. 

There are hundreds of complaints about Vanilla gift cards online, along with one agency who said they have approximately 7 % complaint resolution. This could be potentially $ Millions of dollars scammed from consumers.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Fraudulent loan
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (GA)

I sent a debt validation to navy federal regarding the accounting on my auto loans XX/XX/XXXX. I asked them to provide : 1. The actual accounting of the loans.

2. A signed invoice ( NOT A STATEMENT ) 3. A Copy of the Contract Binding both parties. I'm aware that the four essential conditions to a lawful binding contract are : 1. Full disclosure ( I was never told that I was creating the debt with my wet ink signature ). 2. Equal Consideration ( you must bring something of value to the table ).

3. Lawful Terms and Conditions. 4. The Wet Ink Signature of BOTH PARTIES ( Corporations can't sign because they have no RIGHT or Mind to contract since they are soul-less legal fictions and furthermore no third party can sign a contract on their behalf. 

I sent this XX/XX/XXXX. If no response within those 14 days I asked them to discharge my debt. On XX/XX/XXXX they still never sent me the information and I asked them to discharge my debts again. So on XX/XX/XXXX I sent them an affidavit of default by notary. But they still never discharged the debt. Navy Federal has failed to show me the accounting of the loans to show me that they put up anything of equal consideration which is violating a lawful binding contract. I was never told based on the disclosures that I was creating the money with my wet ink signature. First National Bank of Montgomery v. Daly better known as the Credit River Decision references my argument. In this case the bank had not lent XXXX any actual money but simply created a credit on its book, and therefore since nothing of value had been advanced by the bank, it was not entitled to the property that had been given as security for the loan. This is exactly what's happening with my auto loans. Navy Federal fails to give me the information I've asked for.
