Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I was given a XXXX XXXX XXXX card as a {$50.00} gift card, I never experienced this type of card before. And tucked it into my drawer for when I really needed it. 

The expiration date is XXXX and on the white background above the barcode states clearly {$2.00} activation fee. I went to use it and found out it had to be registered. After submitting all information including an SSN, setting up an account, the website did not allow access to the account information. 

I called and found out that the balance was eaten up due to dormancy fees. 
They said its clearly written on the packaging. I asked where. 
And was told to look at 4 boxes, they were black background with white and blue print. They read : monthly fee- none, atm withdrawal fee {$1.00}, transaction fee- XXXX, reload fee {$3.00}. None of which was Important since I was using as a gift card. I said it doesnt say anything about dormancy fees. 
XXXX the supervisor told me it was below the boxes. I said in font size 2? Yes. She said. It is printed on dark blue background in black ink and too small for me to read even with reading glasses. 

She said its not our fault you cant read it, its written there and the money is gone. 

I see from your website there is a difference between gift cards and Reloadable debit cards. I never used any such thing, I have my own credit cards. I believe these cards are just legal means to rob people by their use of fees. The time of inactivity should begin when you activate the card not when the person purchases it. They offered no solace, no restoration of my {$50.00} gift and said thats the way it is. 

They need to CLEARLY show there are dormancy fees on a white background with black ink that is in a font people can read. Arent there ADA requirements for information that is  detrimental to the individual? 

Banks are charging ludicrous fees every time you turn around and this card just highlights the abuse to people with no credit who need to use this type of vehicle. The bank sucks these poor peoples money through every legal fee in the book. For me it was the loss of a {$50.00} gift card. 

The bank needs to be accountable, make their policies clear and readable. What is not readable it is false or deceptive advertising.

I 've went ahead and gone directly to the website, and the site loads, but once I attempt to get to the login page, all the browsers still state that the site is non functional and " ca n't provide a secure connection ''. This makes me feel questionable about Navient and its security practices, if their own sites ca n't even make a secure connection to my personal information about me and my student loans.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Equifax Security Freeze Experience : I requested a Security Freeze from Equifax. Certified letter was mailed XX/XX/XXXX and delivered XX/XX/XXXX. ( USPS Certified Letter # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I receive a letter from Equifax giving me an Extended Credit Fraud Alert, which is not the same as Security Freeze. The title of the page I sent them in large bold print was " Security Freeze Request to Equifax. '' I had been the victim of identity fraud for which I had filed a Police Report ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) in XXXX County last year, which should allow me to receive free security freezes and free temporary security freeze lifts indefinitely. A copy of this Police Report as well as copies of my Driver 's License ( both sides ) and two utility bills were included in the envelope with the form requesting the Security Freeze. With this documentation and the specific titled page requesting Security Freeze there was no uncertainty that I wanted a Security Freeze and not an extended fraud alert. The form requesting the Security Freeze was completed by me and included my name, address, social security number, and birthdate. I also added to it that there was a copy of the police identity theft report, the number of that report, and my phone number. 

I called them today between XXXX and XXXX XXXX and I can not talk to a person until Monday. They should have 24/7 telephone support after their irresponsibility and negligence. And their arrogance in not honoring my Security Freeze request is unacceptable. This company should be fined billions of dollars and told they can no longer function in this segment of business. Diversify into something else or die as a company. 

I do not want to take the so-called free Security Freeze they offer on the phone because they imply after XX/XX/XXXX that state fees would then apply to the their free version of a security freeze. I do no want pay {$10.00} every time I suspend and every time I reinstate the security freeze. 

This company should not get away with their behavior in my case, nor avoid harsh financial and legally restrictive repercussions on the federal level.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo denied my credit card application because I didnt have a green card ( I have a work visa ) The  requirement of having a green card was not disclosed to me before doing a hard credit pull. My credit score was negatively affected as a result. 

All lenders must disclose whether having a lawful permanent residence is a prerequisite for loans or credit cards. This is just common courtesy that is absent from the US financial system
