I would like to be clear, that the store and most of the staff here was friendly and helpful. The issue began when my mom was encouraged to open an account, which she did. The associate entered her previous address which she indicated was not correct both before and after it was processed. The sales associate informed her she would be able to call and fix this issue or change the address online....
My mom is not tech savvy so she called and after three hours and several transfers she was told that they would mail her the change of address information...but to the WRONG address!
I called back with her and was informed that to change her address to the correct address she would have to send a five second video of her holding her driver’s license, and two proofs of address (they used an example of utility bills or bank statements). Seriously?! To open the account they only asked for her driver’s license and social security number, when it comes to changing the address to receive the bill so she can pay it, they want to verify as much as one would have to for a passport. It was just shy of asking for a DNA sample.
Five transfers, later, we paid the bill online and closed the account. I asked if we could receive and email for payment confirmation as well as verification for the account closure and you guessed it, “it will be mailed”....to the wrong address 🤦🏻♀️
This is ridiculous and unacceptable. A company that is so quick to open an account with little information and virtually no security precautions to protect a person’s identity, but makes it impossible to fix a mistake THEY made on an address so the customer can pay their bill; should re-evaluate their policies immediately.
Feel free to shop the deals, but know if you open a credit card with them, you will also be opening a can of problems and aggravation. Happy shopping...
