XX/XX/XXXX : The same day, I find the card is unable to use, I contacted the company, spending over 1.5 Hours. They said they are unable to active my card since the information I provided is not match. 
( yes, this is okay, it does mismatch because I bought a lot of GiftCard that day ), ( Complain 1 : How can they issue a replacement if info mismatch? ) XX/XX/XXXX : I agree to send correct info, And I did it via Fax. 
They said they will active my card in 3 days.

Then, they start repeating again : " fax is the only way to do it, we can not do anything else ''. I said, can we use e-mail? They said no, Fax is the only way.

For now, I spend over 1.5 hours on the phone again, and I still can not use my card.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet has, for the past two months, effectively prevented me from signing up for the SAVE IBR plan. I submitted all of my material to Nelnet via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, before student loan payments resumed. I linked FSA to my XXXX W2 form, as the application required. I clearly qualified for the plan. 

Yet Nelnet, despite receiving my application, never processed it. 

For the next two months, I received intermittent emails from Nelnet stating that my application was " in process. '' Meanwhile, loan payments had resumed, and my interest was accruing at $ XXXX. Under the SAVE plan, it would not have accrued at all. 

Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Nelnet to check on the status of my application. After waiting on hold for about two hours, Nelnet 's customer service representative told me that my application was incomplete, as I had not submitted proof of income from XXXX. 

Not only was this falseI had submitted my W2 as required through FSAbut Nelnet NEVER INFORMED ME that it was missing documentation. I immediately submitted my proof of income directly through the Nelnet site, but now need to wait another 30 days or more for Nelnet to process my application. Meanwhile, my interest continues to accrue. 

Nelnet 's failure to communicate has thus far cost me more than {$1000.00}, and will likely cost me another {$1000.00} before my application is approved. Its hold times are unconscionable. Nelnet is an agent of the federal government, and it should not be allowed to prevent its clientswho often have no choice but to use its servicesfrom enrolling in federal programs as is their entitlement.

I did not open or authorize this account with this company or any other company they represent, and I would like to ask that it be closed immediately. Please send me written confirmation that I am not responsible for charges on this account and take appropriate steps to remove information about this account from my credit files. Also, Waypoint never even sent me notice of the fraud account or else they would have already known that I was a victim of identity theft and this account is a result of thereof. Additionally, any reporting of a debt to the credit bureaus before allowing me to validate it may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent.

Complaint narrative:
I placed an order on XXXX using the Afterpay app. Within minutes of placing my order, I then decided to cancel it. 3 days later, and 3 complaint emails later I am still seeing this as an active order in my Afterpay account, with upcoming payment installments. I was already charged XXXX for the first installment on this CANCELLED order. I spoke with XXXX 3 times to make sure that the cancellation went through, and they assured me each time it had. I then followed all the steps for a complaint to Afterpay ( including screenshots and emails from XXXX stating this cancellation had been processed ). 

I then received an email from Afterpay with a response that had nothing to do with my complaint. They have no live customer service phone or chat and I am very concerned I will be charged on the upcoming payment dates, as they clearly did not read or pay attention to my issue.

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Credence has been reporting an alleged debt on my consumer reports illegally. I have never done business with them, so I don't know how they ever received consent to my personal information. This is identity fraud. I have never legally given written consent/permissible purpose to furnish this alleged debt on my reports. Credence is a 3rd party debt collector attempting to collect an alleged debt. Credence has not provided any validation or verification legally required showing ownership of this debt. This includes the original contract with my wet signature. Their negative and illegal reporting is tarnishing my credit worthiness and hindering me from acquiring affordable living and transportation to provide for my family. This is causing undue hardship to all of us!
