Merrick bank changed my card agreement without my permission. Basically extorted me. Either I take a hit to my credit, or I pay an outrageous yearly fee. I say it’s outrageous because the account offered no benefit. I asked to be grandfathered in because I was never charged a fee before, denied. They said I could close and open a new, no fee account. I asked for my existing account to be changed, denied. The company is just trying to extort money, or pad their “new card signup” numbers. Shameful way to do business. I was surprised this company is based in the USA. What they are doing should not be legal. They should have to abide by the original terms of our agreement, offer a service that requires the money, or allow a way out that doesn’t damage my credit worthiness.Business Response

Our records indicate that the customer’s account was opened with no annual fee. As per
section 1 of the cardholder agreement, “We may change the terms of this Agreement or the
Pricing Appendix at any time. We may change or remove any of the terms and conditions of,
or add new terms or conditions to, this Agreement or the Pricing Appendix, including without
limitation by increasing existing fees, margins and rates, and adding new fees and charges,
whether or not the Account has been cancelled, suspended or closed to new Account
transactions.” As such, an email was issued advising that the account would soon be subject
to an annual fee and that the customer could reject the fee by closing the account.
The account was closed as requested during a recent call, and the customer was advised
that they could attempt to apply for a new account. Please note that unsecured accounts are
by invitation only and there is no guarantee that a new account will not have an annual fee,
as pricing terms vary by account. The customer may apply for a secured card at any time by
visiting www.merrickbank.com.
The account is closed with a zero balance and will be reported to the consumer reporting
agencies as such. The calculation of credit scores is proprietary to the consumer reporting
agencies and we recommend that the customer contact them directly for any inquiries related
to their credit score.
A letter was sent to the customer with further information.Initial Complaint

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent closure of my credit account with Merrick Bank account number [****************]. I find this action not only unjust but also deeply discriminatory, and I demand an immediate explanation and resolution. My account was closed without any prior notice or legitimate reason provided, despite my history of responsible credit use and timely payments. I have always ensured that my account remained in good standing, and there has been no communication from your end explaining the reason behind this abrupt decision. However, I have reason to believe that this closure was motivated by discriminatory factors, which I find both unethical and illegal. Based on recent experiences and interactions with your representatives, I have come to the conclusion that my account was targeted due to [describe any specific incidents or patterns that might indicate discrimination—race, ethnicity, gender, or other personal factors]. It is appalling to think that a company like yours, which should adhere to principles of fairness and equality, would engage in such practices. This action is a violation of my rights as a consumer and is an unacceptable breach of the trust I placed in your company. I demand the following: 1. An immediate and thorough investigation into the closure of my account. 2. A full, transparent explanation of why my account was closed, including whether any discriminatory factors played a role in the decision. 3. A reinstatement of my account and all associated credit lines if the closure is deemed unjust. 4. A formal apology and assurance that this type of behavior will be investigated and prevented in the future.Business Response

Our records indicate that a block was placed on the customer’s account following a
transaction that was declined as it was possibly fraudulent. Attempts were made to reach the
customer in order to verify the activity in question; however, we were unable to speak with
them. As the activity could not be verified, the block remained on the account.
Merrick Bank follows all practices under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which prohibits
creditors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital
status and age. We have no record of any recent interactions between the customer and
representatives, as referenced in the complaint. Please be assured that the account is not
closed and was only blocked for security purposes.
Upon receipt of the complaint, we attempted to reach the customer again, but those attempts
were also unsuccessful. We request that the customer please contact us so that we may
verify the account activity and remove the block.

BBB Complaint ID # *****************************
Our records indicate that multiple cash advances have posted to the customer's account. Per
their cardholder agreement, payments up to the minimum amount due are applied to the
lower APR purchase balance first, while payments in excess of the minimum due are applied
to the greater APR cash advance balance. As such, the majority of the customer's payments
have accurately been applied to their purchase balance and finance charges continued to
assess on their outstanding cash advance balance.
We confirmed that the APR was correctly established in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the account. The initial APR for purchases and cash advances were fully
disclosed in our initial offer of credit and again when the customer received their credit card.
Additionally, as the customer's APR is variable, based on the Prime Rate, the APR will adjust
accordingly with fluctuations in the Prime Rate. We have determined that all finance charges
were accurately assessed and they will not be refunded as requested.

A FCRA violation refers to a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. Federal law requires that consumer reporting agencies (CRAs) follow reasonable procedures to ensure 100% accuracy of the information contained in their credit reports. If a consumer suffers damages because of a FCRA violation they may be entitled to bring a private lawsuit against the CRA and recover actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney's fees. These accounts listed on my letter are not 100% correct and I demand them to be investigated completely. I demand you to remove this account from all 3 of my credit reports asap or I will have no choice but to forward this to my litigation attorney for furnishing a false account on my credit report.Business Response

Our records indicate that the account was opened with an electronic application.
Subsequently, the account was used for purchases and payments were applied to the
balance. Due to non-payment, the account charged off with an outstanding balance.
Please note that charged off accounts do not denote a forgiveness of the debt. Additionally,
as the balance remains outstanding and has not been settled, the account does not qualify
for a 1099-C form.

Also, they have charged me for three payments of $29.89 (Nov 2024,Dec 2024) and Jan 2025. Payments they said to Search Public Records, whom I did not request, but I settled with them, they put money back in the account, I am to blame for not checking this. I knew what I owed and I paid.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my fraud claim and the poor customer service I have encountered throughout this process. 1 Initial Submission (November 9, 2023): I submitted a fraud claim, but it appears that no review or action was taken at that time. 2 Claim Reopened (November 27, 2024): Due to the lack of response, I was forced to reopen the claim, as it had not been addressed. 3 FTC Report and Letter Submission (December 11, 2024): On this date, I sent an FTC report along with a detailed letter by mail, yet I did not receive any confirmation or acknowledgment of this submission. 4 Denial Without Explanation (December 19, 2024): I was informed by a representative that my claim was denied on the grounds that an account was allegedly linked back to me. However, the bank has yet to provide any specific details or documentation regarding this so-called linked account. 5 Misleading Information (January 3, 2025): I spoke with several representatives who assured me that the issue had been resolved in my favor. I was told that I would receive a formal letter with the details. To date, I have not received any such correspondence, and no resolution appears to have taken place. It seems that I was misled with inaccurate information, and my claim has once again been ignored. The repeated lack of action, combined with inconsistent and misleading communication from your representatives, has caused considerable frustration. It is unclear whether the claim was ever properly reviewed or addressed, and the absence of follow-up or resolution is unacceptable. Given the significant amount of time that has passed and the ongoing issues, I urge you to escalate this matter for immediate review. I also request that you provide me with clear, written documentation regarding the status of my fraud claim and any actions taken on my behalf. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your responseBusiness Response

Dear Merrick Bank,
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for taking the time to respond to my BBB complaint. I acknowledge and appreciate that Merrick Bank has taken full accountability for the repeated errors that were beyond my control.
As indicated in your response, I understand that you have requested the deletion of the tradeline from my credit report. Given the ongoing transparency issues I have experienced with this bank, I kindly request that you provide me with written confirmation of this deletion request.
