Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have an Upgrade card with a {$2000.00} limit. It's on autopay and I've never had any problems until I changed my phone number. I called to update my phone number on my account like I've successfully been able to do with all of my banking and credit cards... until I got to them. They asked me to provide a pdf format bill of my old phone/new phone number account. But I don't have it because I have a pre-paid account. You don't receive downloadable bills when you have a prepaid account. So, I took photos with my Upgrade account cards along with my driver 's license. They said it wasn't good enough. I took screenshots of my new phone account information which included all of my information and showed my new phone number. They said that is not enough. I then said, forget it. I guess I won't be able to get into an account that I am STILL making monthly auto payments for. Then, I asked if they could ( at least ) please remove the old phone number because I obviously have no access to it any longer. If that is my verification method and I don't have access to it, that's a security risk. Well, it's still on there. They will NOT allow me to update my phone number and therefore I have zero access to this credit account that I am still paying monthly. There have been numerous communications by phone and email. I don't believe it is right that I'm telling them I have no access to my old phone number and they leave it on the account anyway creating a security risk. Also, the rule that you have to have a downloadable pdf bill for your phone is ridiculous. I have EVERYTHING to verify who I am but that's the only thing they will accept. They're basically saying that if I don't have a contract phone or a landline, that I can not change my phone number with them and thus can no longer access an active account of my own. I need help.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I have been sending countless letters appealing to Transunion to verify the disputed account and remove it if unable to prove that the account is mine. Transunion is failing to block or remove the account from my report. I filed a report on the FTC website, I specified how the identity theft took place, and that I did not benefit from or receive goods or services from the alleged account. I also reached out to the company and they agreed to delete the account from my file BUT TransUnion has some internal block that they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When asked why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE my request and DELETE the account which I do not own XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Even after I called to explain my situation, they have turned deaf ears and kept declining all my transactions on the basis of insufficient while at the same time holding {$47000.00}, I made available to pay my bills and live peacefully. They robbed me of my peace and caused me untold pain. It shall NEVER BE WELL with Bank of America. The pain they caused me they will reap in a measure that befits it in a magnitude 100 times more damage and destruction they would not escape.
