Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a Pre-Approved letter from Aspire Credit Card for a {$700.00} credit card between XX/XX/2023 - XX/XX/2023. I then applied because of the letter received, however, I was denied after receiving a Pre-Approved letter. My issue is that a pre-approved letter speaks on eligibility information and is considered solicitation. Eligibility information contains account numbers, names and address. ( 12 CFR 1022.20 ( b ) ( 4 ) ). Direct mail is listed with other examples of how solicitations can be done. According 12 CFR 1022.20 ( b ) ( 5 ), solicitation is the marketing of a product or service initiated by a person, such as a financial institution, that is intended to encourage consumers to purchase or obtain products or services. A pre-approved letter is done after accessing ones consumer report to see certain financial information which I have not granted Aspire Credit Card my consent to have. These actions violate my personal nonpublic information ( personal identifiable financial information ( 15 U.S.C. 6809 ( 4 ) ). A pre-approved letter is intended to encourage a consumer to obtain your product and services, hence pre-approved, instead of pre-qualify which authorizes a soft inquiry to create an offer. Under Aspire Terms and Conditions When we ( Aspire ) solicit you for an account or from time to time thereafter we may offer special terms in connection with your account. I was not offered neither an account or special terms with an account. After denying this application, Aspire Credit Card has adverse actions on my consumer report which is considerably unfair and illegal. Per 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( a ) ( b ), Aspire has failed to send me any form of notices giving the opportunity to opt out of any access they may have to my consumer report or any adverse actions that was caused by their decision to deny me, when Im sure I should have never been denied originally.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo ran a promotion for their premier checking account and advertised {$2500.00} bonus when transferred certain number of assets. I have been rejected the bonus because my US tax identification was not on the account. I had mortgage with them and they could have reached out if they required tax info ( even after reaching all the conditions ). They got everything needed at bank and confirmed that they had everything when I converted the account to premier. 

This feels like a bait and swithch tactic by wells fargo, they got my business, got my asstets transferred and then rejected ny bonus for not havin tax id? How did you even get my assets without tax id?

I look.on my online account and BOA has charged XXXX not once but every time I tried a total of 8 times plus 2 times when I tried another product for XXXX to see if that would go through. They reversed the XXXX one time. Why are my purchases being declined without telling me when the money is there? Resulting in XXXX of my money being held up. The email they sent me was for 1 transaction and even told me to go back and try again. I had more than enough money in my account before and was declined at the grocery store.
