Consumer Complaint: I applied for a credit card and received a letter saying I needed to call a number to activate it. They answered with a 'hello ' instead of a company name which was odd, and then proceeded to ask me to give every single bit of personal information to confirm my identity and wanted me to verify a text code - all exactly what is done to steal information. I said I'd already filled out all the information and asked if I could confirm with them anything, rather than give them all of it ( after I'd given them most of it ) they said I could not. I said I would not be giving them the information or signing up, but asked if they already ran my credit- they did, and it dinged my credit score. I'm extremely irritated as I'm trying to make some major purchases.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I have automatic payment set up with my Bank to pay the statement in full every month. However, they are charging interest on items they say " have been purchase during the credit card statement cycle '' EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT SHOW THOSE CHARGES ON THE CURRENT STATEMENT FOR ME TO PAY!! How can I pay the full amount if I or my bank isn't given the correct amount? They said I should CALL THEM to find out. I think the correct amount should be on the credit card balance due. Example : last statement was for {$1200.00} and my bank paid that amount in full. This months statement has {$44.00} in legitimate charges but an additional {$10.00} for interest.

Consumer Complaint: Hello I have been having hard time trying to fix my credit with forever 21 and XXXX ever since the pandemic. i have been answering multiple calls and giving them an answer when i can do the payments. they are being really rude and forcing me to give them a payment that same day even though i told them I don't have the money and has even told me to give them my bank information to take out the payment monthly when AGAIN i have told them i don't have the money. They have also reach out to my mom asking about me even though I spoke to them already. Then I noticed the bank account that XXXX credit collection was scheduled to a payment, but they took a payment that was not authorized. I have called constantly to speak to agents and ALL agencies were very disrespectful and would hang up on me. I spoke to the manager, and she was also being rude and then a week later i received my money back but they still constantly call me being rude when i have clearly told them i have no money to do the payment.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX. I identified discrepancy with account listed under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and validation was requested as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate this account as correctly belonging to me, nor has my credit report been updated to reflect that the account is disputed and therefore a 2nd validation letter was sent on this day. After reviewing credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX there have been no updates and account is still reflecting on the report. I do not believe the account belongs to me nor do I believe that the creditor has authorization to access the account nor authorization to attempt to collect on the account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that the account belongs to me and all information is correct.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: My account was paid in full for {$30.00} on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023 the company levied a {$2.00} fee against me. This is all documented on the statement. I called the company to get them to remove it and they wouldn't so I immediately closed the account so they could not levy anymore fees. I then filed a dispute with all 3 credit bureaus. They are stating to the credit bureaus that the fee is legitimate. I don't see how that can be since it was charged to me AFTER the statement was paid in full. This seems ridiculous that I have to fight a company for {$2.00} but now it's the point of the matter. I had an account with them about 10 years ago and wound up shutting it down for the same type of shoddy service. I thought I would give them another chance when they approached me last year. No, their service is still unacceptable and that's why I paid the account off. I didn't plan to close the account however I knew they would probably try to serve me with more fees when I didn't pay this ridiculous {$2.00}. It will cost them more to take me to collections for the unlawful charge but I am refusing to pay this on principal now since they would not cooperate on the phone and are claiming to the bureaus it's a fair charge.
