State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to add my daughter who was born in XX/XX/year> to my credit card to build her credit report. However, I have spoken to multiple Chase representatives who are either clueless, dismissive or plain provide misinformation to the user. 

Chase on its own site XXXX XXXX XXXX says that one can add minors to the credit card to build their credit report. However, when I tried doing this, the bank representative ( from the credit reporting team ) gave me false information that no such thing exists and only after XXXX  years would credit be reported for the minor ( which according to Chase themselves is false ). 

All I want to do is add my newborn to my own credit card as an authorized user so that her credit file builds and helps her when she grows older. The bank allows me to add her as an authorized user but does not have a published way to add her SSN and instead its agents resort to above tactics to frustrate the customer.
