Consumer complaint received 2022-12-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The issue with this company is that they have a recurring problem with their cards. For example, I bought the card from XXXX grocery store and attempted to use the card XXXX after i bought it, the package had not been tampered with, the flap covering the bar code was intact, yet, the {$130.00} i loaded to card was placed on hold because the card had an attempt already tried prior to me buying the card. This is a common issue with this company https : XXXX they offer no direct contact except thru phone, no email, and want you to fax the documents such as drivers license, receipts, and the card which costs additional money to the consumer! This happened before with this company, and as I told them had I known this was there product I ABSOLUTELY would not have purchased the card!! 
Also, the call center rep REFUSED to get a Supervisor after I requested one several times, that is absolutely against call center protocols! They also should not be able to keep the consumers money, and make us send them information and then they send us another card weeks later, this is so unacceptable on so many levels and for them to be able to get away with this, is crazy!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for Care Credit 's credit card. All the correct information was provided on the application form. I was approved, my medical bill was paid by Care Credit, and they accepted payments to lower my balance. For the sake of convenience, I tried signing up for the mobile app. I was unable to. I reached out to Care Credit and they informed me that there was a fraud lock on my account. I dont know why when all the information provided was correct. They sent me out a form to fill out and return to them. This was done twice. Both times the information was correct, but I was told that the information was incorrect and that the from was altered. They would not tell me what was incorrect or how the form was altered either time. I asked if I could confirm my information with a specialist over the phone, online or through the app. They said the only option was to be mailed a form and have it filled out and sent back. I've applied with other companies and this is a very iritating and archaic process that Care Credit is making me go through. The initial application was correct, and there was no reason for a fraud lock. I verified my information correctly, twice, and yet they will not remove the fraud lock on my account.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
1. Received email notification that my payment was increasing. They have observed an " error '' in my loan payment, but I've been making the same payment for 15-18 years. I have tried to obtain more information about how they calculated the new payment and where in our loan agreement where it says they are allowed to change my monthly payment. After 3 different calls to customer service and waiting 5-10 business days for correspondence each time, I've yet to receive the information I'm requesting.

2. They are extremely careless with private and personal information. This includes sending me paper work in the mail with my full social security number unredacted. I have also received paper work about another of their customers including address, social, phone numbers, email address, parent name and addresse.

Company: Hatfield, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I requested my ACH authorization be revoked from XXXX XXXX ( Hatfield, Inc ). XXXX agreed and stated my account was unlinked and not to be charged but that repayment was still due. 

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX charged my banked account via ACH for 5 {$10.00} transactions and one {$60.00} transaction. My account was never re-linked, and no new authorization was given. This mean they stored my information for months and used it to charge me almost 6 months later. 

I talked to XXXX who refunded {$50.00} but not the other {$60.00}, despite no authorization being given. I advised XXXX and provided the documentation from them that authorization was revoked, and they unliked my account on XX/XX/XXXX, yet they will not return the other {$60.00}.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
We took out a XXXX loan with this company. Over a XXXX period we had to apply for few hardships payment plans due to sickness and then during the covid period. All of our plans were paid back on time and in full. Our understanding was that the hardship missed payments would be put on the end of the loan. We were not aware the missed payments would become due at the maturity of the loan. The company has now called the loan requiring us for a full payment of the loan balance of {$10000.00}. Or {$10000.00} per month for the next 12 months. I am a XXXX XXXX senior person, and I am not working. My only source of income is my social security benefit. We can not afford to make such a payment per month of almost {$1100.00}. The company has now placed our account on delinquency status when in reality the account is currently up to date. We find their sudden action unfair and of a loan sharking nature. The company is unwilling to work with us to come up with a better payment plan. We respectfully request help from your office on this matter. Thank you
