Complaint narrative:
The reason for the CFPB resubmission for the complaint against XXXX XXXX is the recent discovery of how credit card companies narrowly define the definition of fraud. Fraud is wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. Credit card companies define fraud as using a stolen credit card or its number to make purchases without the knowledge of the credit card-holder. The confusion lies in how the credit card companies narrowly define fraud. 

XXXX XXXX is ruled as a fraud by the FTC using the traditional meaning of the term fraud. The FTC filed a lawsuit against XXXX XXXX case XXXX document XXXX filed XX/XX/XXXX in the United States District Court District of Nevada XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX violated the Federal Credit Billing Act codified 15 U.S.C section 1601 Truth in Lending Act that protects consumers from unfair billing practices.

The complaint is a dispute XXXX XXXX is no longer able to deliver because the company is ruled a fraud by the FTC. Another part of the complaint is XXXX XXXX never delivered on the products and services they agreed to deliver before the FTC shut down.
