After that I went to the online store that I bought the card specifically for since they dont have their own gift cards ; XXXX. I got to the final page on their checkout in which I had to input my payment information, then I clicked submit. It said that the card information was invalid, I reviewed the card number and the other information and it was all correct so I tried again, but I retyped the number again to make sure I havent looked over an error on accident. After this it denied again so I went back the website to check my balance and it wasnt accepting my information. It said that the card number was invalid. So after this I tried calling their phone number at XXXX and they said that my card was invalid. I also tried calling their customer support which I just got answered by a bot and got hung up on multiple times. This card was issued by XXXX, XXXX. and the card is distributed and serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Company: Wave Financial USA Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint over the phone with a live agent from the cfpb on XXXX regarding my XXXX money business account. The complaint was not inputted correctly and XXXX denied they are the company the complaint is about. I am attempting to fix the previous complaint # XXXX. I am filing this complaint because I this is the XXXX time I received a large payment from my customer and XXXX  chose to hold the money from me for XXXX  days. XXXX took their fee out of the transaction immediately. This held up production on the job and when the money was finally released they closed my business card stating I claimed it was lost or stolen. I never made such a claim. In fact, I specifically instructed the XXXX representative, XXXX, on XXXX not to close my account. She closed it anyhow and said I needed to wait XXXX days until I received a new card in the mail. The card is the only access I have to my business funds and my business has been on hold for over XXXX weeks. I asked if they could expedite it to me and was told no. They closed a previous card of mine out after receiving a large deposit and did allow it to be expedited, but made me a pay a fee. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ) in the mail XXXX  days later on XXXX asking me to provide details of the disputed transaction ( there was not a disputed transaction! ) I can't understand how they can send this bogus letter out but not my card. I called to check the status the status of my card on XXXX and was told they had no record of a new one being shipped. They hung up on me. I called on XXXX and was told it was processed on XXXX but they could not provide a shipping carrier or tracking number. The same story was given to me each day since and I am also told there are no managers that work there. Each call ended with XXXX hanging up on me. Their customer service is degrading and I am ashamed and embarrassed to tell my clients I am using XXXX  at this point. XXXX different reps said my card would arrive today or tomorrow, but I have many doubts. I have not been able to pay utilities, rent, suppliers, or do anything for that matter. All the reviews I have read state that XXXX has taken their money after closing their account and left them with no recourse. I am petrified and their bad faith business practices are simply unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed the purchase of a defective XXXX XXXX console with XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX console has a known issue where the system goes into rest mode when ever it wants. There are XXXX possible resolutions to this issue, If those XXXX resolutions are unsuccessful it is a defective machine. I tried both resolutions and currently have the XXXX XXXX console set to those settings specified. The system still turns off right in the middle of you playing it despite the do not enter rest mode setting being selected. I disputed this with my XXXX XXXX XXXX and they took that amount off of my credit report, they then added it back on XX/XX/XXXX costing me XXXX credit reports or close to, and said they sent out a notice regarding my dispute. I have not received this notice nor have I had time to act in response. They took XXXX  days and did not reach out to me once to get details about my situation, I cant see anything they did in their dispute. XXXX never returns messages regarding my defective XXXX and they say that they dont provide refunds on items over {$500.00}. They dont tell you this before you purchase the item or even at time of purchase. Their refund policy is on the back of your receipt in small print, and you only know it is there if you have a problem. I am not paying for defective merchandise and told XXXX XXXX  they can have their console back and I reached out to them via their website messaging system several times to ask them what is going on with my dispute and XXXX XXXX never contacted me once to find out the details of my situation and they just found in the merchants favor. I need help with the sale of defective merchandise they wont take back. I am not paying for this and want it removed from my credit like I said they can have it back.
