Consumer complaint received 2024-04-09 00:00:00
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: MI

Complaint narrative:
I was given 4 separate prepaid American Express cards, each with {$500.00} balance ( {$2000.00} total ). This was part of a reward scheme through an airline. I was provided with these cards on XX/XX/2024. 

I was only provided with virtual cards, no physical cards. 

I have been unable to use any of the cards at any online retailer, with the exception of one {$5.00} transaction at XXXX. For any other amount, all cards have been declined. I have tried at different times, multiple different retailers ( including XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ), and multiple different transaction types ( buying other gift cards, buying products ). 

I spent over an hour with customer support at AMEX and no help was provided. One of the cards was closed, but a replacement was not provided as they claimed they were having 'difficulty ' doing so. Their customer portal does often not work. 

The proposed solutions from AMEX were not feasible, including : - Replacing the card due to damage to the magnetic strip ( when I was only provided a virtual card ) - Trying at different retailers ( already tried ) - Trying as a debit transaction ( most online retailers do not offer this option ) - Trying in-store ( only provided with a virtual card ) - Adding to my XXXX XXXX  account and spending through that ( did not work ) From internet searches, this appears to be a known issue by AMEX, and there are hundreds of similar complaints on various internet forums. 

The customer support from AMEX has been incredibly poor. Providing gift cards that are known to not work at most locations ( even those listed on their website as 'accepted ' ) while offering no serious remedy when issues are found is a disgrace.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize unequivocally that I did not give written authorization or instructions for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these inquiries be blocked and expunged from my record. It is crucial to highlight that this request is not made in error, nor is it grounded in any misrepresentation of relevant facts concerning the request to block these transactions. 

This assertion is important because it underscores the fact that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. By emphasizing this point, I aim to convey the seriousness of my request and ensure that it is not overlooked or dismissed. Additionally, I want to clarify that my request is based on accurate and relevant information, and I am not attempting to manipulate or deceive in any way.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Cash app automatically cashed out money sent to me so they can take a service fee charge but I did not have that authorized nor did I want the money automatically placed in that account. I had turned it off and cash app did not recognize this and automatically charged me a fee and sent money to my bank account. I was supposed to have {$1000.00} and cash app took a fee and only deposited {$1000.00}. I did not want this service and Im only asking for a refund and the amount to be returned to the cash app account, but they refused and their customer service is awful.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Mr Cooper advised me I would receive my escrow overage back in XXXX. It never arrived and was either never mailed or, never mailed to the correct address. I've called several times since then and they say it was mailed and then say they'll remail it. I've never received my overage. At this point they've tried to post it to the payment, at which point I made a partial payment to keep my account current only to have them change course without notification and remove the applied funds to the payment and then sent me a late payment notice. I paid the rest of my payment with the understanding they'd again send out the escrow overage via check. I still have not received the funds. At this point, it's been months and I have still not received the escrow overage funds they were required to send more than 30 days ago.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ] on my TransUnion consumer report and requesting its removal. Despite my request for documented proof of any late payments associated with this account, TransUnion has failed to provide satisfactory evidence. Furthermore, the inconsistency in the last activity reported date across the major credit bureaus raises significant doubts about the accuracy of this information. 

I urge TransUnion to thoroughly investigate these discrepancies and provide verifiable documentation of any late payments associated with this account. Should the inaccuracies persist and can not be resolved, I request that the account be removed entirely from my credit report. 

The inaccurate reporting of this account has detrimental affects on my credit score and financial well-being, potentially impacting my ability to obtain credit. Therefore, I expect a prompt and thorough investigation into this matter, with confirmation of the changes made to my credit report once the dispute is resolved. 

I have enclosed supporting evidence that contradicts the reported information and ma prepared to provide further documentation if necessary. I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.
