Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I received a mailed pre-approved for an Aspire credit card with a {$1000.00} credit limit subject to verification of eligibility .The pre-approved card offer reportedly provides cards immediately after the consumer calls ( XXXX ) or accepts the offer online with the acceptance code that has been provided in the mailed offer. However, when I called to accept the offer along with acceptance code I was declined for no apparent reason. I was not approved immediately despite my eligibility.I was informed that I would receive a letter or email informing of the results of my application ( which was done con- ducting a hard credit check ) .I thought this was somewhat strange. I called back the next day and was advised by a customer service rep. that my application was declined, Further investigation of Aspire revealed numerous negative reviews fro other comsumers.Most that seem highly questionable and reported as a scam For your investigation of the matter, Aspire can be contacted by calling XXXX XXXX. This number is to their customer service department .This card company should be closed. 

Thank You. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I put in a dispute with Experian for an inaccurate account on my credit report. By XX/XX/XXXX, the dispute was resolved, and the account was exactly the same. I was not shown how the account was verified or notified by writing the methods they used to verify this account. On XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX ; I called and spoke with a representative at Experian about the account that wasn't properly verified because it didn't go through the proper 30 days process to verify the account, nor was I notify of the verification process. I requested that the account was re-investigated and that I was provided proof of the verification process in writing. The representative stated that they can't verify information and just re-report whatever the creditor says. I stated that how is that possible when the point of the verification process is to verify the account for inaccuracy. The representative stated that they don't do that they just report the accounts no matter if its wrong or not. I told her that this was against the law and asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, the representative stated that the manager or supervisor wasn't available and then hung up on me. I have several inaccurate accounts on my Experian credit report that I have requested to be verified and hasn't and haven't been notified of the verification process. I also can't re-dispute the account as I have been blocked to submit the dispute again. Please help with this I am a teacher trying to purchase a home for my family.

Company: COAST PROFESSIONAL, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX and I have a student loan in the amount of {$27000.00} that is currently in default. I am writing to express my frustration thus far with what has been my personal experience regarding it's handling and explanation of terms from the lenders end. 30 years now after taking out my first loan and I think I finally understand what is going on after speaking with someone who was actually willing to listen and give me helpful advice for once. I see I have been misled and pushed to the side for way too long. Why is that every time I call my lender I get different information to my questions? Why is it that the only consistent solution from my lender is to set my loans on forbearance? Why does no one warn me that the amount of forbearance available for the term of my loan is finite? Why doesnt anyone clearly and plainly explain to me that forbearance continues to rack up interest on my balance? It looks to do nothing more than financially benefit the lender with this kind of approach, which I suppose makes sense considering they are nothing more than a company looking to increase revenue and profits. I feel like I have been cunningly maneuvered into a path of repayment that will never go away. No one ever reached out to me about options that were better suited to my income and profession. The blatant greediness and constant rush to get me off the phone when I call in drives me to think I have been scammed. Consider this a formal complaint as explanation as to why I now demand my loans be reduced or cleared. I have a family to feed while on limited income in the midst of a global health crisis. It should not take 30 years and taxes/wages being garnished and interest-racking forbearance for me to be in a worse-off position than when I first started!
