Fax Number

Top question

What is your fax number so I can send this complaint letter? It is either that or BBB, this company makes it extra hard to make payments especially on time.

I do not understand why they even closed my account, I am the one that put the money on there so why do you feel it is owed.

I know sounds like a dumb question but I am serious. Fax Number please anyone

The fax number for 1st progress customer services disputes department or main headquarters is (877)858-****

Guest

Call there customer service line 866-706-****

No I do not want their number believe me we all have it, but where is the fax number??? I tried discussing my situation and they were very difficult to talk to and messed up one account because too lazy to put effort into looking up a name. This card company would probably be great if they asking with some other get with the program and accept debit card payments for quicker payment services. However, want to do it the difficult way and see more time consuming. Plus do not feel used covet help right.

They won’t give you any access to the dispute center. This is a HIGHLY unethical company and I want to file a class action lawsuit. Everyone should write to the attorney general about them

I AM ADVISING ANYONE LOOKING FOR A STARTER/FIRST C.C., find ANY other CO.! They have horrible cust svc., BARELY speak English! Nonsense! I PAID OFF the dumb card back in the Fall of '21. These idiots decided to run my payment 4-5 days later. Of COURSE, payment was non-sufficient 5 days AFTER I CALL IN TO pay this stupid, (bad decision of mine to get my 1st credit card with-First Progress)! Should be called; 1st Progression of attaining a Horrible headache, your Credit Score WILL drop after dealing with us! I'm going to officially PAY THE LAST DIME OFF, & WARN EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF TO AVOID THIS 'company' @all cost!

How do I cancel the card?

This credit card company is fraudulent. I have not used this card in several months, yet they say that I owe them $98.

For what? Not using the card!? They have reported me to the credit bureaus as not paying for 30 days. I don't use the card!!!

Cancel the card. How do I cancel/close the card???

Where’s my security deposit of $500 that I gave your company

I opened a secure credit card with your company a while back I used it and had such a hard time paying my monthly balance because your company informed me that you could not pay over a phone when I had tried several times. And you do not have a app where you can sign in and just pay your credit card bill either.

Why is it so hard to pay a bill? And I closed my account months ago have not received any thing back yet I was told it should take up to 10 weeks i waited that and then some. I then called your company to ask about my deposit and spoke with a gentleman who informed me that coincidentally the same day I decided randomly to call was in deed the day the check for my $500 was supposed to be there. And told me to wait a few more days so I did so.

Now it’s 10 day later and I called and was told the check was sent on 12/23/30 it’s now 1/30/21 have not received my money. Where is it??

Letterhead Letter

I was told by customer service reps that they do not do letterhead letters requesting for an updated payment/statement? Is this true or are they just too sorry to email one out.

I’ve asked numerous of times to speak to the manager. I’m always placed on hold for a long period of time, and I end up hanging up. They would always say that I would have to wait till my statement is posted online or to receive the current statement in mail. The business that I’m trying to take take care of, can’t wait till their slow system posts my current statement.

A lot of secured card businesses have letterhead letters, so I’m just trying to figure out why this company doesn’t. It’s frustrating and highly upsetting that this company is a complete joke.

How can i cancel my card, get refund, and take negative marks off credit report

Being charged late fees over and over on a yearly fee charge First Progress 23 hours ago Hi, i got the first progress to try to improve my credit. Sounded good in theory, but they have a $29.99 yearly fee.

In first billing it had yearly fee on the statement. I wasn't able to pay the first month, so next month I got a late payment charge on top of yearly fee. So i paid it, but they keep wanting the late charges also, and reporting to the credit reports I'm late, and adding more late fees that reducing my available credit, and my score is dropping. Does first progress Have an email address?

Phone number for cancelation department? Any suggestions to help my situation?

According to the information stated at WalletHub, if you were approved, it should take about two weeks for your First Progress credit card to reach you. That being said, you could opt-in for Expedited Processing, which costs $19.95. With the Expedited Processing Service, the card will be processed about a week faster. Keep in mind, you can only enable that if you paid the deposit with a debit or prepaid card.
If it’s been longer than 14 calendar days and you still don't have it, please contact First Progress Customer Service by submitting your request on the company website.
