Issue: Problem getting a card or closing an account — Trouble getting, activating, or registering a card
Company: Neon Newco Corporation (VA)

I purchased a NetSpend Prepaid Debit card at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX on Friday XX/XX/2018 in the cash amount of XXXX dollars plus XXXX card fee. 

I get home to activate the card. NetSpend requires your Name, social security, address, makes you set up an online account with user name and password ( giving the impression that your account is active ). Once I entered my information a screen pops up stating I needed to call XXXX. So I promptly call, I speak to a lady I forget her name and she says I need to submit additional documents. They wanted a photo copy of my driver license, social security, and bank statement. I email them to XXXX. I get an email later saying that my account can not be activated because I have a closed account from four years or so ago. Mind you that they never told me why they closed my account at all. No notice was sent, and they froze the account. Fast forward, they have a term limited use which allows the person to use the card immediately to make purchases. They denied me access. I needed to pay a bill online for legal court case and I didn't have a visa debit card to pay the fee online. I had to call a family member to pay. Needless to say after three calls, they said they were sending me a paper check in the mail for XXXX. That it would take 7-10 business days. 

NetSpend aka XXXX whatever, should be shut down for illegal practices. They should be fined to XXXX and back and be required to pay restitution for holding peoples money like this. The way they trick you into activating your card and then hold your money for reasons they will not give out then that is unfair. If it is fraud related closed even more should be done, because they should be communicating to the customer what the XXXX is going on with their account. I have never seen such incompetence from a company. I will get my money back but I am hoping you will finally stand up to these wan na be bankers and set the record straight.

This is a follow-up to a complaint filed in XXXXXXXX XXXX Case Number : XXXX ) for Loan No. : XXXX. Although XXXXXXXX XXXX did respond by recapturing the steps in this case from XXXX through XX/XX/2022, when the loan modification was finally approved, the letter did not discuss what steps, if any, would be taken to remove the delinquent information from my credit report. The attached documentation discusses the reasons why I believe the negative reporting was totally unjustified, as I was told that customers would not be penalized pending a loan modification, and to continue making the monthly payments. I also received letters stating only the balloon payment will be accepted. 
Not one delinquency letter stated I had to make the balloon payment in the amount of {$85000.00} or this loan would be considered delinquent. It was stated in the XX/XX/XXXX letter that the total amount would be due on XX/XX/XXXX unless alternative arrangements had been made -- which I did by applying for a loan modification. The foreclosure letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, stated I needed to send {$1500.00} to cover XXXX and XXXX 's payment by XX/XX/2022, to prevent foreclosure. Yet, my credit reports show I'm 120 days late paying this account for a total amount of {$3100.00} which represents {$770.00} for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX -- -- -payments they did not accept. Why I should I be penalized for monthly payments I consistently tried to pay, but they could not accept? I was probably one of their best customers -- -never over 30 days late in 15 years. Why should they be allowed to ruin my credit when I complied with every request in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, it took almost 6 months for XXXX to receive a 3rd party valuation, that I even offered to get and pay for, but of course that was not allowed.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

I have, for years now, tried to obtain a modification for this loan. In the very first year of my attempts, I thought I was close, but recurring administrative errors on the part of XXXX nixed my efforts, always at the eleventh hour. 
There followed a series of wrongful foreclosures, six in all, over the next five years. The bank constantly and despite my effortstried to take over the empty lot adjacent to this house, a lot that belongs to me free and clear. I had to hire an attorney, rent the house cheap depredations ensuedspend hours each day, week, month, and year reinitiating the modification process, hoping for closure. 
XXXX then sold the loan to Mr. Cooper who, having done none of these missteps and errors, could not be held accountable. 
All I have left now, after these exhausting years of struggle to keep this property, is a short sale. I found a buyer a year ago, a non-profit company called XXXX, who negotiated the price to their offer of {$230000.00}. Mr. Coopers investors did not want to budge from {$250000.00}. Neither party would change their offer even though they were a mere {$27000.00} apart. 
I have now found a new buyer and am presenting her offer and her loan authorization. There is little time to reinitiate the short sale since the Trustee Sale is scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX, this coming Wednesday. This new buyer is offering exactly what Mr. Cooper requested, {$250000.00} and is approved for that amount plus closing costs. 
Through this short sale, Mr. Cooper will get the funds it wants. 
The buyer will get a house she really likes. 
I will not, at age XXXX, have my credit ruined again by this upcoming foreclosure. 

I am respectfully asking that Mr. Cooper stop the trustee sale of XX/XX/XXXX, and allow the realtor XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX to reinitiate the short sale and communicate with you. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX

I Bought a car from Carvana and it was the most horrible Car buying experience. Where do I start first of all on day 8 I find out that the motor was blown. Ok I understand So they tell me they are going to put me in another car. That was a complete Lie, I called back and they phone rep tells I am stuck with the car, She advises me that XXXX the warranty company will handle it from here on out and not to call carvana or her any more. So I ask to speak to a supervisor and it seems like they are playing games. Here is what drives me crazy the warranty company says they will put in a used engine from another car that has higher miles then the car that I bought. ( where do they do that at I said ) They will switch my engine out with an engine that has higher miles how convenient OMG. There is more to the story So I called and recorded the call with some agent named XXXX which I posted on my XXXX XXXX what a joke she says she makes the decisions for caranna. Wow Such a racket if you think the old-school way of buying cars was flawed. Wait to you try carvana. I have bought many cars in my life and worked for dealers. I guess they pull the wool over your eyes with a great big vending machine it's no different that the inflatable dancer Just comes at a higher price. Before you purchase or do any business look at what's going on in the media XXXX they are banned from doing business in Illinois and other states. I just wanted to buy a car for my daughter. The problem with carvana is they buy junk cars and got no place to service them they just send out to public and pass the buck to their sister company that makes the money off the warranty repairs XXXX a racket. Carvana is owned XXXX XXXX XXXX, The Father owns XXXX XXXX The finance Company which owns XXXX XXXX. Here is the kicker They own XXXX XXXX WOW What a racket

My credit file at Equifax has an incorrect birthdate. Equifax was first notified about this on XX/XX/XXXX. In order to correct this, Equifax requested copies of my driver license and social security card to verify my identity and birthdate. Copies of these documents were faxed to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax then sent a me letter stating that the birthdate in my file had been corrected. This letter had a confirmation number and was dated XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Equifax by telephone to lift a credit freeze, and I learned that the birthdate in my credit file was still incorrect. Equifax had no record of the letter or confirmation number it had sent me on XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax told me they would investigate the reason they had the incorrect birthdate on file. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Equifax stating that they had verified that the incorrect birthdate was correct.
