I seen an ad on tv for a free credit card application.When I got the application the card was attached.I read the form and seen a charge of 9.00 for the attached card. I called the card company and told them I tore the application up and didn't wish to apply.They in turn put a bad mark on my credit history.Was I slammed by this credit card company?Can I sue them for this?

I applied online for a Kohl's Charge card and expected to receive an instant approval. Instead, I got a generic message indicating that I should call a 1-800 number. I called the number and my application was approved and I received a temporary account number.

Now, I tried to probe as to why I had to do this, and of course I got generic 'for your security' answers. I also asked directly whether everyone had to do this. I was told 'yes'.

When I called I had to repeat everything in my application 'to verify my information' over the phone. After she approved it, she asked for my email address and I said I already gave it on the online form. 'I don't have it, it was in the application process'. 'What's the point to the online application then?' 'It's for your security'...

So, my guess: my application got flagged (false positive) for some reason. Perhaps I answered one of the credit check questions wrong. And the rep flat-out lied to me about this process being normal. Any thoughts? Anyone gotten an instant approval without having to call?
