Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Government benefit card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Conduent Incorporated (VA)

Before I received the card I called customer service to get an estimate on when I would receive the card in the mail, I verified all my information correctly and was told subsequently that my account was locked due to the phone number not being registered under my name. I told them at the time I signed up for unemployment I couldnt afford to pay my phone bill and used my roommate number as it was the best way to reach me at the time. They told me that my account would be closed until I provided a valid ID. I dont have an ID as I was evicted and moved to a motel and around during the hardship and had my wallet stolen with all my things at such motel. DMV is backed up for the next 5 months in my area and I barely have money to eat let alone pay for any fees. I was counting on my unemployment to get out of this hole but now way2go is punishing me for not having a phone under my name. I can see if I gave the wrong information but I didnt. I really dont know what to do do at this point and hope this agency can help me access my funds as it is my last chance. Thank you

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I want to emphasize that I am a victim of identity theft, and the presence of these fraudulent accounts on my credit report has had severe consequences for my financial well-being. I have taken the necessary steps to dispute these inaccuracies, providing supporting documentation and evidence of the fraudulent nature of these accounts. However, my previous disputes have not been adequately addressed, and I am particularly puzzled by the Bureau 's request to extend the investigation period to 60 days. Despite this extended timeframe, there has been no resolution, and I am left in a state of confusion as to why my requests seem to be ignored or not properly addressed.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

To whom it may concern, I always pay every credit card I have in full every month. The card at issue is my Sam 's Club credit card through Synchrony Bank. On XX/XX/2022 I paid my balance of {$4000.00} in full for the prior month. The payment was accepted. Three months later the balance of {$4000.00} appeared back on my statement. I disputed this and was told that " on XX/XX/2022 the payment was returned unpaid by your bank ; therefore, the payment was reversed. '' I provided Synchrony bank with a copy of the front and back of the check with Synchrony 's stamp on it showing that it was received and cashed. I also provided copies of my bank statements showing the payment leaving my account and never returning. I asked Synchrony bank on multiple occasions to provide me with some kind of written evidence proving that the payment was returned by my bank. I have formally requested proof four times in writing and at least a dozen times over the phone. I am never given anything. Some of Synchrony bank 's responses simply say they can't locate any payments and other letters say that they found the payment but then it was reversed. They're not even consistent with the response they are giving me. At this point I have provided proof that the payment was made, that Synchrony Bank received the payment, that Synchrony Bank cashed the check, that the money left my account, and that the money never returned. Synchrony Bank has provided me with nothing. On a side note, in the middle of all of this I contacted my bank, XXXX XXXX and opened up a claim for them to investigate and they also confirmed that Synchrony Bank was paid and the money was never returned. I don't know what else to do at this point.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (GA)

On XX/XX/2019 I went to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with an already approved loan from my current credit card company 'XXXX XXXX '. I was willing and ready to use my XXXX XXXX auto loan without hesitation. 

My salesman apparently ran my credit with MULTIPLE lenders WITHOUT my permission or knowledge on doing so. Not to mention, I have a 'Fraud Alert ' on my XXXX which should have prevented anyone from gaining access to my credit account without my approval. It wasnt until I checked my report 30days later and seen such transactions. 

I did not authorize all of these auto lenders to run my credit as I have been diligently working to build my credit and with all of these hard inquiries it has brought my credit score down. I have made attempts to contact XXXX XXXX regarding this issue but was informed there is nothing they could do, that I would need to dispute these transactions with the lenders. 

I would NEVER have authorized all of these hard inquiries when I was already approved for an autoloan. 

*I tried to upload my XXXX XXXX Auto Navigator approved loan but since I purchased the car, I no longer have access to such document*

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (MN)

I opened an American Express Delta Skymiles XXXX card in XX/XX/2023. I signed up using a promotional code for this card that included a welcome offer of XXXX Bonus Miles that would be credited to my Delta account upon spending {$3000.00} within the first 6 months of having the card. Upon meeting this spend threshold on XX/XX/2023, I was told it would take up to 6-8 weeks for the miles to be reflected on my Delta account . When the miles weren't credited to my account after 8 weeks, I inquired with American Express, who told me it could actually take up to 12 weeks. Upon the end of the 12th week I had still not seen my miles. I then called American Express to complain the miles had still not been credited to my Delta account, to which they told me there is a known glitch with the offer code, affecting a multitude of individuals that is causing them not to receive the miles and that I should receive them but it could take another 6-8 weeks. It is now closing on week 15 and I have not received my miles. American Express is not upholding their end of the offer and has taken weeks to adress the issue.
