Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 there were two fraudulent charges on my Credit Karma spend/Save account. One in total of {$1500.00} and one in total of {$2000.00}. I had got an email earlier stating that my phone number and email had changed on my account and I did not change it. I called right away to report that I did not change it. During my phone call with credit karma I saw these two charges made on my account that I did not make. I attempted to have them freeze my account but they shuffle you around to the higher departments and speak broken XXXX. They are not quick enough to handle situations like this. While I reported these fraudulent charges, they were still pending in my account. But they allowed the money to then be dispersed to whoever made the transactions instead of blocking the money. I am now told I will get provisional funds on XX/XX/2024 which is ten business days from the dispute. I have {$440.00} in my credit builder account with them but I am unable to get that money out so that I can have funds for basic daily life needs. I was on the phone with them today for over a half hour and was transferred about 3-4 times to the higher department. I feel as if they shuffle you around to frustrate you so you give up. I can not give up {$3500.00}. I just purchased a house XX/XX/2024 and those funds held my first mortgage payment that is due XX/XX/2024. I also hired painters who I owe {$2000.00} to. I can not pay either of them at the moment. This is a financially devastating nightmare. I am a nurse who works two jobs and I couldnt even buy a cup of coffee the other day on my 16 hour shift. I need answers. I tried to stop this fraud from happening and they failed to protect me. I plan to close this account and go to a local bank once this gets resolved. I would never recommend anyone utilizing this company and trusting them with your business.

Complaint narrative:
I kept my card balance paid and up to date. I was actively building my credit score. I noticed a large purchase one day of over {$600.00}. I immediately called the credit card company to dispute. We discovered while on the call that the charge was made in Florida. I advised the company that this was fraud and they advised me that they mailed a card out to Florida in my name to an address in Florida because someone was able to call and verify my email and password so they shipped the card to them. I was distraught. While speaking to them and advising that I have never been to Florida and did not authorize these charges, they assured me that if I faxed them a copy of my I.D . they would fix the charges and close the account. I sent my I.D . that week and called several more times. They closed the account and did not reverse charges and now reporting negatively on my credit report. I would like to mention that they advised me that and payments of {$600.00} plus dollars were being charged and paid from Florida a few times during this period. I have now a fradulent Florida address on my credit report. I have this week called each credit bureau to have this removed/corrected. Midland Credit Management which represents XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX refused to correct this issue and is determined to bill me for fraud. I refuse to pay these charges and will continue to fight for my credit worthiness since they helped these scammers steal my identity and sent cards out without my knowledge or consent.
