Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to use an American Express gift card in person earlier today. I validated the card is active with the full amount of funds {$500.00}. This was at a dental office which accepts American Express.

The card was swiped several times, then the card info was entered manually into the terminal. Each time the amount to be paid was {$500.00}, which matches the card value.

In the end, I had to use a credit card. I find this very frustrating. I'd like to use the card and don't see why it would fail to function properly.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I made a purchase from an online merchant called XXXX XXXX. I used XXXX at checkout to split the {$110.00} payment into four biweekly installments. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have made two of those payments, but I have not received the product. The tracking number provided has stopped updating, and the merchant has been evasive in communication. Their own messages suggested the item should have arrived by now. 

Despite this, XXXX continues to process payments under the installment agreement. I believe Im being charged for a product that will never arrive. I attempted to resolve this with the merchant but received no resolution.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I had my bank transfer directly {$870.00} to the Credit Card company to apply against my balance, i.e. to " pay it down ''. 

My bank immediately transferred the {$870.00} to the credit card company. The credit card company admits this transfer took place successfully on XX/XX/XXXX and that they ( cc company ) are indeed " holding the money. '' Today, Monday XX/XX/year>, I spoke by phone with numerous individuals at the credit card company, and in each of these calls I was able to glean a bit more confirmation that they were holding my bank transfer - possibly for another 10 days (! ) until they " Release it to my account ''. Essentially, holding on to my cash, transferred from my US commercial bank for an indeterminate period.

I would think this would be highly illegal. A " XXXX '' and a " XXXX '' were the names given to me over the phone and neither individuals would provide an ID number or some identifying number for my records of who I spoke with. Further, XXXX stated that " no matter who I transfer your call to, you'll get the same answer '' and to " not worry ''. (! )

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) 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 1666B 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 ( TILA ), 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.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Delays with the closing process
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
We applied for and were approved for what would be our third home loan with Rocket Mortgage. One week prior to our scheduled closing date, Rocket pulled our credit. They said that it was not usually done so close to closing but they had detected a name discrepancy in my husbands history. This was never fully explained but only alluded to. As the credit was one point less than the negotiated terms for the loan they asked us to work with their credit team to raise the score one point. As this delay necessitated delaying the closing, the seller requested information regarding the delay. Rocket then communicated specific credit information to the seller and his agent. When we asked about this, several loan officers said they did not know the sellers representative was not a dual agent. As they had the purchase and sales agreement from the time of the mortgage application this was an egregious error.

The delayed closing, along with the indiscretion of the revelations to the seller caused hardships for all parties.

In addition to this violation, in our view Rocket stumbled numerous times throughout the mortgage approval process. We were assigned an inexperienced agent who called us multiple times a day, seven days a week, but did not seem to be able to process the information we gave him efficiently. We were finally transferred to a supervisor, seven days before closing. However, the supervisor was then the responsible party for revealing the credit information.

We were very frustrated with the entire process and we would not recommend Rocket again. In the past 10 years or so as mortgage companies have streamlined the application and servicing, we have found Rocket to be easy to work with. However, as their fees are not necessarily competitive, I would now not recommend them. We had a miserable experience and received no compensation for the frustration. 

Update : Homeowners insurance paid through monthly payments to Rocket.

Insurance company sent a cancellation notice to us this week because Rocket underpaid the insurance premium for which they received a hill.
