Consumer complaint received 2025-06-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Type : Credit Card Company : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) Issue : Deceptive Pre-Approval and False Advertising Problem Description : I was shown a High Likelihood of Approval and High Credit Limit offer for the Indigo XXXX through XXXX XXXX, which stated I was pre-approved for a high-limit credit card. Based on these clearly advertised terms and the reputation of XXXX XXXX, I applied. 

Upon applying, I was not approved for the advertised limit instead, I was only offered a card with a {$500.00} limit, despite being told I qualified for more. 

This appears to be a bait-and-switch tactic, where XXXX XXXX and/or Indigo promote high-limit, easy-approval cards to entice consumers into applying, knowing full well they only offer {$500.00} {$1500.00} limits across the board. 

The application caused a hard inquiry on my credit report, which will lower my credit score, all because of false advertising and deceptive marketing practices. 

I believe this conduct is unfair, deceptive, and potentially predatory. It damages consumer trust and causes measurable financial harm. This offer misrepresented its terms, misled me as a consumer, and should be investigated for widespread deceptive practices. 

I am requesting : A formal investigation into the deceptive marketing between XXXX XXXX and the Indigo XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) Removal of the hard inquiry on my credit report Disciplinary or regulatory action if found in violation of CFPB consumer protection standards

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I was in a XXXX  relationship back in XXXX, where my ex did a mobile deposit for fraudulent checks with XXXX and XXXX banks not knowing and while I was asleep. At that time I was not in the habit of checking my account regularly until I started working at my current job back in XXXX of XXXX when I wanted to see my paycheck hit my account and that's when I seen a negative balance of about {$4500.00}. I then submitted a police report called to the banks and even made multiple visits to the branches with both banks to inform that this was not me that deposited these checks and if they can match my signature with what's showing on the checks vs what they have on file, because they need a signature to open the account and both XXXX  and XXXX refused. So ever since then I haven't been able to open up an actual bank account and was told by many people that works for the bank that it can take up to 7 years before I'm able to open an account. Well here I am 7 years later still unable to open account and this issueisstill hanging over my head. I've been using an online bank for the past 5 years which is okay, but an inconvenience as I have difficulties with making deposits and locating an atm. I have been turned down by so many banks it's ridiculous. I just recently tried to open up an account with Huntington Bank on XX/XX/XXXX and everything looked good until the next day or XXXX when I received an email stating the account was on hold, called to figure out why only to find out the account has been closed with no reason given.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA XXXX Code XXXX since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( XXXX  ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I called the company XXXX weeks later ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) to explain Id never been reissued a card, and they advised that they could not mail another replacement card, even provided the same mailing address, unless I could provide the previous cards information ( I could not because I disposed of the card after it was locked, and no one had advised me to hold onto the card while waiting for a replacement ). The cards were essentially not functional at brick and mortar stores ( unless I could place app/mobile orders at these stores, ie. XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ).

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the XXXXair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
