I had an old hard drive with Bitcoin on it that I mined months ago. Unfortunately, when I tried to get it up and running again, the data was corrupted. (NewHorizons001 at AOL dot Com) helped me to recover the Bitcoin I had in it even after I thought it was all gone. My old investment paid off big time and I was able to reap the rewards thanks to this recovery agency.

Credit Service
July 21, 2021

Most people don't know what it takes to increase their credit score, they think paying their bills on time and not using their credit cards will actually increase their score. That is very important but it's about 30%, nothing compares truly on how credit works. I had a very poor credit until i saw some good reviews about Cyber Don, I filed my reports to him and he helped me improve my credit score from low 497 to 771 in 8 days and expunged all the negative items on my credit. If you also need your credit fixed, file your report to (CyberDon at Techie dot Com)

I worked with an investment company for almost 8 months and they have bankrupted me. I needed a few weeks and a lot of research to get some of my money back. I do not recommend you to deal with them, or you will have a lot of troubles. They have a very good strategy to take money from you. Please be careful. The only way I was able to get back most of what I had lost was after I reached out to a recovery agency {jimfundsrecovery At consultant Dot com} Great experience.

Credit karma still does not update information correctly, i have numerous time to correct something they put on my account. I HAVE never applied for something from COMMITY BANK GAME? Dont know who they are but its there! I did alll the leg work to correct this, even contacted commity bank game. They agreed its not me, sent them a copy of letter I requested, and they CREDIT KARMA still doesn't remove it! Also they ding your account with all the store credit cards from years ago that either closed, or you yourself requested years ago to not use. You can contact the credit bureaus yourself concerning this, but CREDIT KARMA never updates information correctly! THEY ONLY PUSH UNWANTED CARDS, INSURANCE COMPANYS ETC! Also your payments to your accounts are never correctly updated. They SELL YOUR INFORMATION! Even though they say no? Even car payments that were always on time, with extra payments never show. My loan almost paid in full they show like i just started. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TIME! I HAVE PAID 4 vehicles off before it was due. Be careful with there scores! ALSO THEY MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH COMMITY BANK GAME! Because its showing up on alot of peoples accounts that never applied asked or know who they are.

Si se ha involucrado en una estafa de criptomonedas o en cualquier estafa. Sepa que no está solo, hay mucha gente en esta misma situación. Fui víctima de una estafa de criptomonedas que me costó mucho dinero. Esto sucedió hace unas semanas, solo hay una solución que es hablar con las personas adecuadas, si no lo haces terminarás muy deprimido. Estaba realmente devastado hasta que me remitieron a un experto en recuperación. En menos de 2 semanas, ya recuperó el 85% de mi pérdida: jimfundsrecovery at consultant dot com. Muy agradecida.

They locked my account for not reason. Called multiple times, they say they can't help. 6 days later still no access to my money and the meme we support team is a $#*!ing joke. They don't care as they laugh at people not having assess to pay bill even though I expressed I have children needing things. This place and people are a POS. Don't trust this bank. You will never give the level of service you need from a real bank.

Credit repair
June 7, 2021

I don't intend to write an epistle here but I'm most grateful that I met this expert. I was skeptical at first because of my past experiences with some scammers posing to be a credit repair specialist but I decided to give it a try. They are professionals, transparent and they always kept me updated on the process, I was shocked when they asked me to check my credit score again. My score was raised from 506 to 785. Bankruptcy, eviction, credit card loan were all cleared within 12days. Reach out to them if you're in need of the same service: (BoostMyCredit at FastService dot Com).

Free Tax Filing
March 13, 2021

Supposedly Credit Karma says it will file your tax returns for free however they come up with some kind of error so you have to pay to file. I pay every year to file my taxes however, I like free so decided to try it. Do not fall for it this bogus "free tax return". They have teamed up with TurboTax which also states they will do a free refund. This also is a bunch of BS. I just want honest companies. I guess that's too much to ask for in this day and age.

I have been a member of credit Karma for around 2 years. Started with a horrible score 490 or something like that, I have now made every single payment on multiple accounts, been responsible with my CC's all of them paid off every month. I was just cresting a 700 when my credit dropped around 25 to 35 points, not once but twice, credit now is mid 600's, pretty tough to buy a house when my scores are all over the place so I can never trust that my timing is right.The fact that the information you use contradicts itself in the platform is all the proof, hundreds of on time payments with derogatory length of credit usage which has also changed multiple times over the years, how is that even possible? I have watched this religiously, daily. I busted my butt to get my credit to a decent place only to have your company and the 3 bureaus make a mockery of credit, take 40 points give back 7. Pay to play.
I suppose if you write back it will be excuses like it's a free service or there are many factors blah blah. I'm aware of the game is played.

Credit Repair
January 20, 2021

Two years ago I went through a foreclosure which dropped my credit score from 720 to 630, and then I later had some hard inquiries that further dropped my score to 610. All my applications for loan were turned down because of my low credit score. I came across Jerry Link Credit Group, He promised to fix my credit in 8days, at first I thought it was impossible, but I was surprised when I checked my credit report after 8days, the foreclosure and all the hard inquiries had been wiped and my score boosted to 770 with good trade lines added, I confidently recommend Jerry Link Credit Group for your credit repair, contact him via *******@gmail.com or call +1 *******118

Claims

I have disputed cases and some was resolved but I keep getting these notifications that my score changed. Logged in and again false accounts I am be penalized with that I have no knowledge of. Every time I get my score up there seems to be some bs account that pops up from nowhere and lowers it again. Accounts that are not mine. Now I have to dispute and maybe get a answer and just be denied of what I'm doing or trying to do because score keeps dropping

Credit Karma has of late not allowed me to log in. I keep getting the Oops message and understand this is due to my use of VPN. I use VPN constantly to keep everything safe and am willing to pay for it. If Credit Karma, unlike my bank, credit card companies, savings accounts, retirement account, will not allow for my use of VPN, then I refuse to use it. I have turned to Credit Sesame instead. Credit Karma get with the times and don't use such an outdated tech that punishes VPN use.

I wanted to update my information phone number and credit karma is now asking for proof of Document like my pictures of my Drivers license and Utility bill! So I thought ok I'll send my ID and Utility and now there asking for more information like my passport and other personal information Sensitivedocuments!

They put a cap on how much of your tax return can be deposited on to the cards given to customers. The cap is 1500. 00 per year. Yes per year. So if your tax return is more than 1500. 00 then they keep the rest. It happened to me

This Business is a scam
February 19, 2020

Credit Karma is in the business of selling and getting users to sign up for high interest credit cards and loans. This is how they get paid and make money! Do Not Use You're Credit Karma Credit Score to obtain any kind of credit. They are between 50 and 100 points higher than the 3 major credit bureaus. There scores are all B/S. You have been warned.
