  My wife, **** ** ***** had a fnbo account ****. She passed away on February 21, 2024 and their estate recovery sent a letter to her estate asking that the account be settled. They advised the estate that the account had been closed. I as her husband contacted estate recovery multiple times and spoke with ****** and ****. It was agreed that they would settle for $5,900.00. Even though I was not responsible for the unsecured debt, I agreed to pay this amount. This was done via check 177 and the check was cashed; it has been processed by my bank. (See check and letter included with the check. I asked for a written document signed by a corporate officer with corporate letter head stating that the account **** had been paid in full. This response was agreed by ****** of estate recovery via our last telephone call. Obviously, the bank has refused to comply. Thus, I am asking that if I do not receive this document, then they must reimburse me in this amount.

  May 1, 2024, sent me a email stating my account was past due and I have paid them the amount they say was past due. They added late charges $30.72 for the account paid on May 1st 2024. They continue to call and claim they have not received payment. on 5/4/24 I spoke with ****** at ###-###-#### and thought the problem was resolved but I am getting email saying I am past due. It is my opinion they are using email to defraud their credit card customers into paying late charges.

  This involves FNBO’s ********** credit card. I was scammed by a couple of people late last year. As part of the scam, on about January 21st, 2024, they asked me to open a credit card, specifying Greenlight . I did that, and gave them the credit card number. They promptly made dozens of charges, totaling almost $25,000. I heard about it when Greenlight notified me that they were closing the account. They said at the time that they were crediting that amount back to my account and closing it, and that I owed nothing. On about April 2, I started getting late notices on a bill of over $25,000, including interest in late fees. I challenged that because: 1) they opened the account with the $25,000 credit limit, which I find appalling. 2) They told me for 2 1/2 months that I owed nothing, and then changed their mind with no notice or explanation. 3) I wondered why the scammers had specified that I should open their credit card. 4) I had not seen any bill, statement, etc. (to this day I haven’t seen any statement — Just emails with a figure at the top that I take to be the balance). They did an “investigation“, addressing none of my concerns, but removing the late fee and interest. I should say they reduced the amount, implying they were eliminating interest and late fees. They claim to have a recording of me saying the charges were valid; I contest that, but they refused to let me listen to the tapes. I did file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where upon Greenlight promptly resumed charging me interest and made a report to the credit bureau, which made my very good credit score fall 85 points. I complained that it was still under dispute; they claimed to have closed all their investigations, not feeling that they had completed any meaningful investigation, I had asked them to leave them open. Everyone at the company except the people answering the phone has refused to speak to me from the beginning, using only emails. I’m Sending them a payment

  I think this is the correct place to put this note to, but I’m not sure. It is an effort to respond to you regarding company’s email to me dated May 14, 2024. You told me that the company was going to send me a **** letter, which I would get in a few days. I think this email that they sent on May 14 is that letter, but I’m not sure. All of the company’s communications with me have been pretty unclear.

  I have seen the company’s response, and also your response stating that Greenlight’s response was satisfactory, and that your account is closed. I am dissatisfied with both of those responses, and particularly your management of this complaint.

  I have stated that Greenlight told me from late January until AFTER I started receiving a late notice in early April that I had no debt. I heard this from the customer service department, where I had been directed to find the balance on my account, because any other department at Greenlight was allegedly unable to provide it for me. In any case, Greenlight is denying this happened; they said they can’t find any record of it. They claim to be recording all my phone calls. I would swear in court that the customer service department did tell me this; Greenlight has apparently covered up the message from the customer service department, probably after I told one of the deck collectors that it existed. The record of those calls has apparently been expunged. I told the company sometime ago that I was disappointed that they never investigated this fact; it looks like you haven’t either.

  Greenlight has pointed out that the original $25,000 credit limit was in some materials they sent that I would have had the opportunity to decline before the account was opened. This is apparently true; I didn’t read the fine print. But I did ask them to investigate who assigned that credit limit and why. I have stated that I suspect somebody at Greenlight is working with the scammers, although I can’t prove it. As far as I can tell, this investigation was never done by the company, or by you.

  Greenlight’s communication with me has been unclear, to understate it. They don’t send statements with due dates. I have never seen a statement, in fact. Instead, I see a dollar remote at the top of a lot of their emails reminding me that My payments are overdue. I have asked them not to add interest or late fees while the dispute was in process, but I have no idea whether they have done that or not. I did make an $810 payment after I learned (from the credit bureau) that my account was over 30 days past due. I had to call and be on hold for a long time before somebody gave me the address to send my payment to. This was wrong; the check came back to me after a week or so; I sent it to what they tell me was the right address, but I haven’t heard any more about it since then. The check has not cleared yet. 
  

  I offered to pay what I think would be a reasonable credit limit on this account, I initially suggested $2000. I have heard nothing about that from Greenlight or you.

  I have spent an enormous number of hours with Greenlight, and also with my complaint to you. I have come to have only limited expectations of Greenlight, but I thought I might get more attention to this issue from you.

  This is regarding the Fordpass Visa credit card product. I was charged cash advance fines and a cash advance fees for buying lotto tickets. The store and **** ******* had never heard of this happening before. For 3 separate lotto ticket purchases totaling $42, I paid aprox. $95.25 in fees. I called the store, they were unfamiliar with it and referred me to the **** ******* who investigated and found these fees were not on their end and they were unfamiliar with this predatory fee. I called the credit card and they dismissed me saying it's part of their terms of service. They wouldn't do anything to help me resolve this. I had no idea these fees would be incurred buying lotto tickets. Very predatory lender behavior. I use a PayPal Visa card to buy lotto tickets with no fees. This is a Fordpass Visa credit card I was using.

  Back in November I paid my entire balance of $1,694 and set up auto pay. The following month I had a balance of $15.00 which was supposed to be paid on auto pay. Late January I received a notification from ****** ***** stating my credit took a 99 point hit due to delinquent payments to FNBO. I then called FNBO and the representative stated my bank account didnt exist because I must've put in the wrong bank account info, he then told me to tell him my bank account info which I did and he verified that it was indeed correct. He then told me he doesnt know why it happened and to contact my bank to see if it was something on their end. Which I did and was told it wasnt their doing and sometimes businesses forget the 0 in the front of the account number. I called FNBO again and spoke with a different representative that stated I must not have had enough in my bank account to cover the charge which was false and also verified by my bank. She then told me there was nothing they can do about the negative hit on my credit and I can dispute it with the credit bureau. I worked hard to get good credit and to have that taken away for something that was out of my control is absurd. Not to mention I've had the credit card for years and never missed a payment until auto pay was set up. I never received a call or email from FNBO about the delinquent payments. I'm honestly appalled FNBO would let a customer that has been in good standing for years prior to this situation go through this when no one knows what caused it.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I received all of the emails and not one stated anything about a delinquency. I never received any letter about the transaction being denied. This is ridiculous, I've paid off large balances on that account and to have a $16 charge affect my credit in this way is beyond disheartening. Perfect payment history until I set up auto pay. I guess that's what I get for trying to do things responsibly. I honestly can't believe a company would treat a long time customer this way. Every representative I've spoken to gave me a different story of why it happened. It seems like with all the controversy around this situation they would give the customer the benefit of the doubt  and let the credit bureaus know there was a mix up. Instead of ruining a person's credit over something that was out of my control. 

  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ******

  I opened a ********* credit card with FNBO on December 20, 2023. Per their terms, I completed a purchase of $100 in my billing cycle, charging $100 on Wednesday, January 17, 2023, which entitled my account to a credit of $99 to waive the annual fee. The charge took multiple days to post to my account appearing in the next billing cycle. I called to address and ask for accommodation but was told it was out of their hands as posting can take up to 30 days at times. I asked where it said that posting a charge can take up to that long, the next-level support supervisor shared that it's not posted or shared anywhere. They denied the request to waive the charge. In addition, the credit card took two weeks to arrive at my house, limiting the window to spend money in the first part of the billing cycle. As currently advertised I need "spend $100 in my first billing cycle."/ 30 days of my account, which I did. The advertisement says nothing about the charge needing to be posted to my account. The credit card perks also include cardholder lounges that were "opening soon", this has been posted since December and has not yet opened in Orlando. The operator blamed the theme park and said they have nothing to do with it and it's not something they can control, but have it posted on their website as a perk to the credit card. I'm asking that FNBO bank credit my account for the $99 first-year fee.

  Account was closed between March & May of 2023 via phone/email/U.S. mail. All payments/charges were credited and the account was settled and closed. (Account ending in ****). I received by U.S. mail a statement from FNBO in February or March of this year with a January charge of $39.95 on an unknown account ending in 6638. I did not authorize or receive a new card. I've had nothing but trouble since they changed their financial source and that's why I "cut up the card"! After contacting FNBO they suggested I file a "fraud claim" so I did as they advised.
