Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX - Called to add {$800.00} to line of credit I needed to wait on approval letter. 
Once accepted, must send {$800.00} within 15 days. 
Send check or money order to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX Was told what account number to add to memo line. 

XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  - XXXX Called to follow-up on credit increase. 
Received wrong information on XX/XX/XXXX and now I have to start the request over. Looks like I need to send in the {$800.00} security deposit first then First Progress will approve or deny credit limit increase. 
Requested to speak with supervisor regarding quality control and provide feedback on the ill-advised information I previously received. 
I have 15 day from today XX/XX/XXXX to send in the {$800.00} money order. If it is not received in 15 days, the credit increase will be denied and funds will be sent back to me. 

XX/XX/XXXX Mailed money order of {$800.00}. Sent certified-mail. 

XX/XX/XXXX According to USPS tracking system for certified mail, money order of {$800.00} was received by First Progress on XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX sent to me saying it's been 15 days and security deposit was not received. Credit increased was denied. There was no additional information as to the time frame the funds will be returned to me. ( Received denial letter on XXXX ). 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX @ XXXX Called to get the status of the refund. I was informed that I needed to fax a letter to the Back Office ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to check on status of my {$800.00} security deposit. 

XX/XX/XXXX Called again to get the status and the instructions on what specific information I needed to do to get my {$800.00} security deposit. Now they're saying it will take up to 10 weeks to get my refund. This is crazy. I have to respond in 15 days.received denial on funds what were received on time. Increase never applied to my account. And now I have to wait 10 weeks to get my money back. I made sure I told the representative I would be reporting them to proper authorities. I will be submitting a complaint to www.consumerfinance.gov and the attorney general of the corporate office of First Progress. 

Resolution : I need my money now or they need to award me the {$800.00} additional credit increase and I want it done in the next 15 days and not in two and a half months. Thank you!
