Complaint #1554414 submitted on 09/07/2015 relating to U.S. Bancorp. Complaint relates to Prepaid card General purpose card - Fraud or scam .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 8th September 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I am in the process of rebuilding my credit after a bankruptcy, and US Bank told me that if I get a prepaid card, my account can be reviewed in XXXX months with the likelihood that I will quality for a credit card. XXXX months elapsed, I inquired, and they told me I had been given the wrong information and that I will likely be able to get a credit card after one year. XXXX year elapsed, and I again applied for a credit card. The answer continued to be " no, no, and more no. '' In the meantime, they collect fees on this card, and would continue to collect fees except for the fact that I just closed the account. While claiming this was a tool to rebuild my credit, it seems to me to be a bait-and-switch gimmick that just racks up money for the bank.
