Company: Neon Newco Corporation (NM)

I have a business XXXX account when I received the XXXX card in the mail I called to get it activated and the customer service rep told me that I needed to provide proof of my Identity. So I sent a picture of my driver license and a picture of my social security card as well as a copy of my voters registration card and mail with my name and address on it. I called the pay pal customer service back to make sure they received it and they said that it could take up to six hours before they could do anything about activating my card. So I waited till the following day and called the number to activate my card the system said the card was not recognized and I was transferred back to customer service and that's when the customer service rep told me that they had cancelled my card because they could not verify my identity. Which made no sense to me after all the documentation I had supplied them the day before. and when I asked to talk to someone else higher up the lady would not give me a number or transfer my call she just kept on saying it is our right to refuse to activate cards if identity can not be verified.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

I have paid all of the principal of my Home Depot Credit Card within six months, as required. However, Home Depot is trying to bill me for late fees and interest. When a clerk induced me to get the card, the clerk did n't tell me about the minimum payment per month and the late fees and interest that would be assessed. Not do these hidden fees appear in the credit card agreement. I have already sent a letter to Home depot 's Credit Card Services, which I 've attached, with supporting documentation, detailing what happened. I 'm simply requesting that Home Depot cancel my bill for hidden fees. The practice is unethical and illegal.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Experian is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of XXXX compliance. Provide me with the XXXX compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Experian and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: DISCOVER BANK (NY)

I contacted Discover in regards to a " XXXX XXXX '' program, involving the freezing of charging privileges on the account, combined with a lowering of the interest rate to 9.99 %, and automatic payments of {$14.00} per month, paid on the XXXX of the month for a period of XXXX months, or until I was under the credit limit, at which point I was free to be removed from the program upon request and verification. 

Upon requesting removal from the program, I was told ( falsely ) that this was not possible. The argument became quite heated, and it came to the point where I 'd said that we either need to find some remedy, or close the account, and that I would wait for the debt to age out. I eventually began using profanity, and she told me she would terminate the call. I told her to " go XXXX herself '' and she hung up. 

Upon calling back to speak to another representative, I received a notification that an email was received from XXXX. The email said my account had been closed. 

This happened without a proper request for authorization on my part. Me being angry does not constitute a verbal contact, as there is no agreement portion involved, and because of that, it 's also not enforcable, because it 's unlawful. 

I 'm seeking the maximum damages, as this resulted in my losing access to the money that I put into the card before my request ( {$260.00} ). Also, it damaged my credit report because this was a closure of my oldest account. 

They refused to provide a copy of the internal complaint I submitted for " security reasons ''.

I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the many unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite my persistent efforts and cooperation, the fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, causing significant distress and adversely impacting my financial standing. I have previously submitted identity theft affidavits, police reports, and supporting documentation in my attempts to rectify these inaccuracies. Regrettably, it appears that the necessary actions were not taken to ensure the timely and accurate removal of the fraudulent items. The continued presence of these inaccuracies is not only affecting my creditworthiness but is also causing significant challenges in securing credit, obtaining favorable interest rates, and managing my overall financial well-being. I urgently request an immediate and thorough reinvestigation into this matter to expedite the removal of the fraudulent items from my credit report. I expect a detailed response within the exact timeframe acknowledging the receipt of this complaint and outlining the steps that will be taken to address and rectify the fraudulent items promptly. Failure to resolve this matter in a timely and satisfactory manner may compel me to escalate my complaint to regulatory authorities and seek legal recourse to protect my rights.
