Prosper Cards customer service has lied about a restricted tag being added to the account with the fraud department. After speaking with the fraud department, there is no restriction due to charges. The fraud rep said the customer service representative added the restriction to the account and fraud cannot remove it. After review of the account, there was no fraud restriction associated with the account. The customer service has committed an unlawfully act and must be reported and held accountable. A rep by the name **** with operator W43 pretended to be a manager and would not provide a last name. The manager was unable to provide their last name which is another red flag to avoid this company. ************ I want CS to remove restriction to do not touch my account further. This account is being paid off and closing.Business Response

This company managed to open a credit card account using some of my information - address, my first name and most likely SSN, continuously sending letters with request for payment, sending information to the credit collection agencies - I believe this is scam and fraudBusiness Response

In regards to the credit card company Prosper, I believe this company Is fraudulent. I was approved for $500.00 limit and $34.00 yearly. To show good standing, I was able to make two small purchases at ******** using this credit card. The day I made each purchase, I paid the balance used on the card in full to show good payment history. Recently on 9/2/2022, I tried to purchase a laptop on sale at Best Buy online during a flash sale. I was denied. I tried several times to purchase this laptop and was denied a. The card was restricted over and over. **************** said I needed to adjust alert controls on my card app, and that it looks to be fraudulent activity. Ive never heard of that before but I did what they asked. They took the restriction off and said I was free to make purchases. I tried over and over again. Same thing happened. I gave it 2 days and tried again with another online sale being that it was too late now to purchase the laptop as the glass sale had ended. This time I went through **** online. Again I was denied. Prosper sent me the same emails over and over saying I needed to adjust my alert controls. I found it oddly strange that 2 small purchases at ******* went through, but a large purchase will be denied. I asked that this card be closed.Business Response

I have made three payments in Aug to **** credit card since Aug 2 2022. Each time nothing was taken from my bank. I have been in contact repeatedly with company and told it was on my end. I have spoken to the bank and nothing has come through from this company. I have been given the run around numerous times and all I want to do is pay my bill. Instead they restricted my card before the payment was even due and continuously have added late charges. This was supposed to help my credit score I have worked so hard to maintain , not wipe it out to nothing. I have never had such a hard time paying for what I owe. Please something has to give her before I am bankrupt over this and my credit score is flushed down the toilet.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I have tried numerous times to correct this with Prosper, with no ending in sight. Late fees and charges have been added because of this and are mounting. I have given the banking information at least five times, the company says its been processed, yet nothing has come in on the bank side. It is not the bank as everyone else gets paid from the same information.

I got approved for a credit card with a $1500 limit and was informed that I could use 50% of the funds ($750) right away. The very first purchase I tried making was declined and my account was immediately restricted. Thinking that the restriction would lift once I activated my physical card, I waited 2 weeks for it in the mail.The card never showed after 2 weeks of waiting so I called customer service to figure out what was going on and a man straight up told me they never mailed it out and he will have to file for a lost/replacement card.So they replaced my card and I had to wait another week or so for it. ( I asked if it can be expedited and apparently they can't do anything at all...)After a month I finally received a card...I log into the app to activate it, which looks successful, but the card is still switched to "OFF".Every time I try to switch it to "ON" , I get an error message saying to contact customer service.(error on both APP and WEBSITE)After contacting customer service, a lady simply logged into my account, tried clicking the ON button about 10 times, and said "oh yeah not sure why it wont work, ill have to escalate a ticket to the IT department (or wherever it goes...) and just wait for an email." (which I've never gotten)After a week I called again and a different lady looked into my "ticket" and said no one ever looked at it and is not resolved... Once again she said tried simply logging into the website, clicking the ON button once, got an error, and said she will have to put in a ticket and will "escalate it to the president of the company". ( LOL REALLY? )TICKET #******* Never have I ever experienced this much trouble with a credit card company, I've talked to 3 people already trying to resolve all my issues from day 1.My card is already activated, I just need it switched to "ON" and it seems like no one can do it or is even trying to help, it's been about 2 months...Business Response

I was approved for a credit card and received it one month ago, at such time I downloaded the app and called to activate the card per Prosper's directions. The representative said the card was restricted because of fraud and couldn't be available until an investigation was performed. Three weeks have passed and I got a bill for $39 annual fee with the app saying that my card was still restricted. I called Prosper and the representative told me again my account is under investigation, but to waive the $39 annual fee if I signed up for autopay. I feel that this is a scam to get people's banking information. How's my card restricted as soon as I activate it? Please help me resolve this matter or point me in the direction of the proper authorities to assist me. I don't know what else to do. Thanks for your time.Business Response
