      I never applied for their card and I don't know what 's on the card. I don't get a statement or anything, they just keep saying that I owe them a payment. They need to send me proof. They are located in ***********. I never even filled out an application to get their card. I just got home from the hospital. I thought they were with a company *******. This is fraud.

      Im extremely frustrated with Fortivas payment system. My account is past due, and *** been actively trying to make a paymentbut ******* has blocked all self-service options, including online and phone payments, simply because the account is overdue. This makes no senseif Im trying to pay, why block me?The only option Im given is to speak to a live representative, but the call process is incredibly slow and difficult. The reps *** spoken with struggle with English, and it takes far longer than it should to complete a simple ********** make matters worse, Im not allowed to set up autopay because the account is past due, even though that would help avoid this situation in the future. ******* is making it unnecessarily hard for customers to resolve past due accounts. The process feels designed to delay or frustrate payments rather than support them.

      Definitely skip ******** I paid it off early, didnt notice the annual fee hit my zero balance card. Then I got hit with a late fee. As I was chatting with a customer care representative they disconnected the chat while I was typing to them. Stay away!

      These guys are a disgrace. They partner with ****** Smart Home address (Address: ***************************************************) and scam customers. ****** smart home signs clients to services they do not provide and trick customers to "financing for products/******************** through this firm". When the products and services never arrive, this firm says it's not their problem and says we still need to pay. I don't understand how this is not fraud. They keep dinging my credit and telling me to pay them for a product that never arrived. It's a very stressful process and I would not recommend anyone to work with these people.

      My credit card account was just closed without my knowledge. I have paid on time constantly for years and after missing ********* pmts I just paid almost the entire balance off. My available credit has not been reflecting the payment so I just went to the representative online to see when my payment will be reflected on my available balance. I was just told that my account was closed in December for late pmt history as well a overlimit?!? It was put over limit due to their fees for ******************** I received no notice that they were going to close my account, etc.? How is this practice legal??? They could see my on time payments and they do nothing for me to reopen the account and now shows a closed account on my **********************? Talk about a predatory company. Unbelievable. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL and is not worth the time.

      I went thru Aspen dental for dental work and they set me up with Fortiva retail credit. I would send my payment in plenty of time for them to receive it. They said I didn't send it on time and charged me a fee. This happened again and I complained so they took that fee off. I made my last payment on my bill in plenty of time for them to receive and they said it wasn't made on time and I received today a late fee bill for $43.00. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. It was such a coincidence when I made my last payment that they want more money

      Fortiva credit card is in breach of their own contract borderline fraudulent. Sure I fell behind on my payments back for 2 weeks. I told them before I was going to be late that I would be but I would be making a payment. I even spoke to a supervisor. Their customer service is most unprofessional people I've ever met. I've talked to several of them all of them act like it's their own business and I owe them money and want to know about my tax information. One guy asked me if I filed my taxes and I stopped him about how much I was going to get as a refund. I told him that was none of his business. He was overstepping boundaries when he asked me that. I talked to a supervisor that day right after he apologized. I explained my situation alone was going to be late because of unauthorized charges. He told me he would take care of it by the next week it was closed. I've asked for them to send my credit card agreement I've had to ask five people and I still haven't got it. By consumer protection laws I am well within my rights of requesting this document. However, at first I was told to look on my account and there is a generic card holder agreement. I requested for the one that I signed not a generic copy of one. This is a major issue for me. They are in breach of their own contract and going against the **************************. I plan to report them as well there. It has been well over a week since I request that and yesterday they sent me an email saying I cannot make a payment with a credit card I never asked to. I asked for the card holder agreement. I have payment protection but apparently that don't mean nothing cuz they close my account even though I let them know what was going on and promise to allow me to make that payment. I've talked to them several times and they will hang up on you. Worst of all is using their text as communication. Employees just don't answer you back.

      MY account was past due a couple of times and they closed my account a few months ago but they are still charging me a late payment fee, which is totally wrong. I have made a $20 payment on the account and have set up $25 dollar payment starting in January for every month until bill is paid in full. My problem is they keep charging a late fee for the past due amount of $67 which has turned into $267. I have tried to talk with the **** that answer but They don't communicate English very well. After I put the last four of my Social Security number in then they ask for it again which makes me very uncomfortable after putting the info into their automatic phone system. I will pay the bill off,I JUST WANT THEM TO STOP ADDING LATE FEES ON which is causing the amount to go up higher. The Credit extended to me was $400 and I paid this card off once but had to use it again. IF THE BETTER BUSINESS BEREAU CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
