Company: WEBSTER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Webster " upgraded '' their computer system after merger. In reality, implemented a brand new system. None of the information from the previous system was transferred. I had the account # and routing # for a checking account that was not moved over. Likewise, I had a recurring automatic payment from that checking account set up. It was not moved over to the new system. 
When the payment wasn't automatically processed, the bank had the audacity to call and leave a voicemail message on our phone from the collections department with all the standard verbal threats. 
Adding insult to injury, they applied a late charge on the payment. 
I have called three times, talked to over 15 staff members, and been promised a call back by a customer service supervisor three times. I have yet to receive a single return call.

This was one of the worst IT implementations I have ever seen.

Company: ROBINHOOD MARKETS INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
on XXXX I notified Robinhood about purchases made to a particular vendor with my digital Master Card issued by XXXX XXXX. I inquired about filing a dispute for purchases not received. I tried to work with the merchant directly and the merchant continued to block me from my purchases. They wanted me to agree to new terms and conditions after the purchase in order to gain access to what I paid for. I provided Robinhood with the communication between myself and the vendor including them acknowledging my XXXX XXXX which had not been used and how they deactivated my account not allowing me access. They did this all because I noticed duplicate charges from them and inquired about them to the merchant. They would not respond and therefore I took recourse in disputing the purchases I made to this merchant as I do not have these purchases that I made. 

On XXXX I received notification from the merchant that they received the chargebacks. 

On XXXX I forward more communication to Robinhood confirming my XXXX XXXX with this merchant and how they had deactivated my account. 

On XXXX I received an automated message from Robinhood " Our processor investigated your claim and did not find sufficient evidence to conclude that an error occurred in your Spending Account because we are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of goods and services that you purchase from others with your Card. '' I feel they are using the term Spending Account to get around doing their job because I used a Master Card to pay this merchant. 

If I do not have access to what I purchased and I have a right to file a dispute based on me not getting my purchases, then why would I be denied and basically told I didn't have a right to dispute getting these purchases in the first place as their reason? 

I do not feel confident that my claim was filed properly or that anyone actually looked at the case. They did file the chargebacks to the merchant as the merchant notified me of such. If the merchant had compelling evidence I have a right to see that evidence and dispute it as I do not have access to these purchases as shown in the documentation I provided to Robinhood.

I have attached the repones I got from Robinhood regarding my dispute. I attached my receipts from the the merchant showing what I purchased. I also have attached proof from the merchant of them deactivating my account and confirming my XXXX XXXX I will not agree to new terms and conditions after a purchase and I question the ethics of a business that would deactivate someones account without any explanation because I inquired about duplicate charges. I bought these coins and I do not have access to these coins or the ability to use what I paid for. At his point due to how the merchant has handled my account I no longer even want them.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I want to unfreeze my credit. When i log in to access my account so that i can lift my freeze, the first page i encounter upon logging in is https : //usa.experian.comXXXX which prompts you to move forward with a credit report and the page following that prompts you to place an order using your SSN. Any other links working links on the webpage kick you back to the home page and you have to initiate a log in again. 

I simply want to unfreeze my credit. I do not want to place an order for a credit report and unfortunately, I'm being blocked from accessing my account so that i can manage a freeze on my credit. It seems that Experian is manipulating their webpage so that you HAVE to order/purchase services from them in order to access an account/basic functions. Additionally, the terms of the order/purchase are not available on the webpage so it is unclear if i am moving forward with a one-time request or if i am being enrolled into a service that will accrue fees. 

I have not purchased services from Experian. A while back, I created an account for the sole purpose of managing a freeze on my credit. 

I attempted to call customer support and provided information to verify my identity ( automated call ), however, i am relegated to 'self service ' which only tells me that i can manage my freeze through my account online. I am not able to speak with a person directly about this issue or receive support moving forward with removing the freeze.

Complaint narrative:
I called and spoke with in agent on XX/XX/2023 regarding account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX. There is a note " CONSUMER DISPUTES THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION ''. The agent said the comment would be removed in 48 hours. I then received report # XXXX stating the comment was removed and shout show correct on my next report. My credit was pulled by me and a financial institute and the comment was still there. I have since called back 5 times and gotten hung up on by 3 agents and excuses that I could not be verified by submitting my ID and answering all question by the agent over the phone. ( as I have done before ). I also have been instructed to send copies of my ID and verification of address. I did not have to provide this information during the initial contact for this issue. Now that they have messed up all of sudden they can't discuss with me because my identity can't be verified. I believe it it a stall tactic. Since the initial contact the home I have been trying to purchase has increased by {$3000.00} and the interest rate has changed. So, the lack of follow through by Equifax has costed be upwards of {$3000.00} so far. The truth in lending act protects me from inaccurate, erroneous statements being reported to my credit report and can also be the basis of me being awarded monetary damages that resulted as inaccurate information. I am first of all demanding this account be deleted from my credit report and I am requesting {$3000.00} in damages for the long drawn out resolve to this minor issue.
