Complaint narrative:
I was hacked on my laptop on XX/XX/XXXX in 2020. This was right before the Covid-19 pandemic started to get very serious in the XXXX. All my credit cards and accounts were compromised and I needed to cancel them all. I had no safe internet source to use so I had to depend on my landline that wasn't completely safe, as it is tied in with my XXXX  and is a cordless phone. I called all my card companies and Target XXXX XXXX XXXX was the only one that did have a charge on it of XXXX that was not authorized by me and I am the only person who holds a card in my name. We live 200 miles from the nearest Target store, and nothing was ordered. They said a form would be sent to me to explain the fraudulent activity new cards with new numbers would be sent. I got the form, filled it out in detail, and sent it back per their request. I got the new cards, but when I tried using them several months later, for a couple of gift cards online, they would not process. I tried the activation process again with the card and it seemed to process, but the card could not be used. I had a zero balance on the account, as I used the card rarely anyway. I didn't worry much about it, since I use my Debit card for most things. In XX/XX/2020, my handbag was taken from my car, and the new Target card was taken. I couldn't believe it. So I called and canceled the current one and ordered a replacement. It was automated so I didn't get to talk to anyone about not being able to use the card. I tried several more times after I received the new card to activate it, and it was not working. I called the customer service number and each time I called, it would get me an automated person, and when I gave my credentials it would say i needed to hold the line for a representative. Each time I called and did this, which was about a half dozen times, I would be on hold and eventually be cut off and the phone would go dead. It's like my account has been flagged, but if so, I need to know what the issue is and get it straightened out. I have done absolutely nothing wrong and now the biggest issue I have is, my XXXX  Credit score has dropped XXXX points because Target without warning, dropped my credit limit from XXXX to XXXX. That is the kiss of XXXX  on a credit score and my credit score is impeccable and I have not been late nor missed a payment in 25 years on anything. I get my credit limit raised, I do not get it decreased. I don ' t care if I ever use the Target account again and would just close it if it didn't jeopardize my credit score, but I will not stand for a XXXX point drop in my score because of a company not responding to my calls and emails. Please please see if you can be an advocate and get Target to contact me and get this settled. I had the same issue with XXXX. It took six months and two months of an incorrect poor credit score and the FTC to fix it. 
Thanks, XXXX XXXX
