On November 26, ******************************************************************************************************************************************* closed and I need to call the 866#. Called the number on Nov 28, 2022 spoke with a rep and explained that I seem to have two accounts that my ssn was attached too and older email account. So we submitted the ticket she proceeded to say I need to submit a copy of my Ss Card as proof of my identity to support. Submitted via email to support. Called back hours later to be told the account was terminated and they could not help and I asked why and would I be receiving a notice. A man named *** said thats all he could say. So I asked to be escalated up and was sent to ******* *********** as he spelled it and stated maam the account is showing terminated and once terminated we can no longer ever offer you services. So this became very unsettling as I have pretty decent credit and fraudulent actions on the company behalf is my first thoughts since he too had no answers and when I ask will I be getting a consumer credit notice he just kept saying no maam all I can say is your account is terminated both emails. So Im in need of answers as to what is happening with my personal data and why is account automatically go from approved to terminated. So will also file complaints with every financial sector responsible for ensuring these people follow the federal laws. Where is my personal information? What would be the reasons an account gets terminated? Not closed or suspended as I have all the emails and screenshots. Supper Request id#******* Will seek legal actions to get answers.Business Response

I opened a prosper account, was approved and sent a card. When I signed up I was told the annual fee would be waived for the first year with automatic payment and I linked my bank account info as well when I appplied. The first time I tried to use my card for ***** my card was declined and restricted. I contacted customer service and was advised my account was restricted and they would send to internal team to review on 11/17/22, I call again 11/19 and am told again still being reviewed. Here it is 11 days later and my account is still restricted and not able to be used and still being reviewed. On top of that I was charged a ***** annual fee, even though I haven't ever been able to use the card. I explain this and am told the automatic payment was not set up right and they could set up and see if they could request a refund for annual fee. I ask for a manager, I'm told manager busy and asked to wait. I wait 30 minutes and get a supervisor not a manager, I spoke with a Supervisor named *** who tells me same as previous and I ask for a manager and she says the managers just went off shift, imagine that. I ask to hold for a manager and she stops speaking expecting me to hang up and I don't. Then I ask for corporate address and she tells me to hold, I'm on hold for 5 minutes then she hangs up on me. This is poor service. How can you bill me when I was suppose to have no annual fee for the first year then on top of it haven't ever been able to use the card!!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: they have not responded to the **** either. The complaint was also send to the **** and they have not responded either. My account has been restricted since 11/17/2022 and have been told they were reviewing and would be at a least another 10 days. So my card would have been restricted for almost a month for no reason. There are not even any charges on the account to have the account restricted l. The first time I try to use the card for ***** and it restricts my account for more than a month??

On Thursday November 17th I received 3 fraudulent charges on my prosper credit card. I immediately called prosper and was told these fraudulent charges would be taken care of. Today November 22nd I called again and they still have not taken care of these charges and said someone will call me within a week. These fraudulent charges have made my available credit very low and this is something that should have been taken care of immediately since they are charged from another country I am clearly not in.Customer Answer

After receiving a pre-approval from Prosper, I applied for the loan. Immediately, my loan was cancelled and my account was suspended. They stated in a letter that they could not verify my identity or my credit history, but yet, I received a hard inquiry on my credit report. I called prosper and they stated that they do not know the reason why it was suspended and it will be suspended for 90 days. I now have a hard inquiry on my credit report, after they stated that they could not verify my identity or my credit history.Business Response

11/15/2022 Got all the way to the end of getting approved for a loan. Had bank information in and was informed they will follow up after. Suddenly my account is suspended and on hold because they were unable to verify identity, employment, credit history, income or other information on the application. I call Prosper and they tell me to call TransUnion and apply again in 90 days.... I look at my credit report with TransUnion and see absolutely nothing on the report that goes with their Narrative, all my information is there including employment, identify, and history. Income isn't seen on any of my current or previous jobs, but I have paystubs to proof that. Which in my experience would've been the follow up for more information.Now I have a Hard Check after they had me do the agreement. I'm extremely disappointed.Business Response

Hello ****,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent application. Prior to a full loan approval and origination, we do confirm details provided to us. Unfortunately, we did have to cancel the application but you are eligible to apply again in 90 days if you wish.
Please refer to your Adverse Action Notice that you received via email on 11/15/22 for more information. You may also find this notice in your online messages.
The hard inquiry is currently in process of being removed from your credit profile. Please allow ***** for this update to be reflected on the credit report.

Complaint: 18409261
I am rejecting this response because:There is still no clarification on what they were unable to verify. My first complaint included word-for-word what was in the letter for the reason of the cancelation and suspension. They do not clarify what they were actually unable to verify leaving it as a vague list of entries found in my credit report.
When contacting TransUnion, we were unable to find anything to dispute. Prosper has not been transparent with their findings and adversely affecting credit of others without providing sufficient information onto why a loan is cancelled after the hard check already took place which could help the consumer dispute the report for incorrect information preventing future situations like this.

In September ******************************************************************************** the mail. I have never received a Statement or a bill. Its been two Months now.I called 3x now a spoken to a customer sales person, they assured me they would send out a bill and of course it never came in October or November. I called them back and spoke to a Supervisor which he assured me they were sorry and they would send it out. Nothing ever comes.They keep charging me a late fee but won't send out a bill. This Company is very shadey and no one seem to know what they are doing to run a business. I told them in November I need to pay a monthly bill I need a bill and Statement. I feel like I am getting the run around and it's very poor business practice. I can't seem to get any help in this simple matter, just send me my bill every month, if not close the account this Company is not in good status with customers.

I applied for a loan with Prospect and they denied me not because of my income verification, not because of my credit history, but because they did not simply like the amount in my checkings account. They told me that it was not enough to be considered for a loan, but the problem with that is that I have verifiable and a solid credit history to definitely say I make the money I do and that Im qualified for a loan. I want either them to move forward with my loan or remove the credit inquiry on my account.Business Response
