    I was on the phone trying to resolve the issue of receiving my credit card over two months later. I disagreed with the late payment report that was placed on the account, and I hadn’t received a card or correspondence. No one called me back to settle the issue, and I have noticed Merrick has placed a late payment status on my credit report, and we haven’t resolved the issue to this date. This is very frustrating for a new customer. Can someone please contact me. This makes me leery of your practices. I just told a few people to apply for your credit card, now with my issue being unresolved I will have to inform the people to hold off until my issue can be resolved. This is absolutely POOR customer service, and unacceptable. Please contact me to complete my process completely. Thanks so much. Respectfully!

    I have been with Merrick for a few years - I got on a mission to pay down my CC's and I got Merrick fully paid and kept my Card for emergencys or a vacation which I have planned in 3weeks. My Merrick card and one other was what was going to help fund such a needed break. Well, guess what? My card which expires 6/27 was cancelled today for "inactivity." No phone call, no text, no email, no letter. So in conclusion Merrick sucks! No other way to put it. You are a number and nothing more. They are fine when that high interest money is coming in but when things get better, they drop you like a hot rock. Terrible way to do business.

    PIN change. Issue changing the PIN online. Called customer service. Long story short.... you verbally give the new PIN number you want to the representative over the phone instead of using the keypad and type it in!!!! I told the representative...I will type in in the keypad and was told...you have to verbally give me the 4 digit PIN number. Had no choice but to do so and then immediately changed it online.

    I called back, spoke to another customer service rep and same procedure; verbally give the representative the PIN number and then you can use your Merrick card and PIN if needed. I don't like that at all.. We all know, including the Merrick Bank reps....you don't give your PIN over the phone. Luckily I had access to my Merrick card...PIN restored and was able to reset it online. That needs to END now Merrick bank. You don't provide your new PIN number verbally over the phone. Use the keypad.

    I was offered this opportunity to use Merrick bank's credit card... As I am repairing my credit rating due to have extraordinarily high medical bills I thought this was a great opportunity to build my credit.... I watch my credit like a hawk in fact I check it everyday... When I received the terms of the agreement I followed it to the t. You can only pay with your bank details... So they have the access to make the payment through their service... No debit cards, no credit cards. nothing. It has to go through your bank directly...

    Upon making the first withdrawal they made a mistake and said I was overdrawn... I lost 36 points in my credit rating. This was devastating at this it took me almost 6 months to build up so I think anyone choosing this Bank should look elsewhere... When this occurs nothing can be done. You have to rebuild your credit and this is due to this bank. I cannot tell you how devastated I was to find out that their mistake caused me an enormous decrease in a very hard-earned credit rating. I went from good to Fair which was devastating to me... This will impact me on many levels so I recommend you not use this Bank on any terms.

    It is a a huge inconvenience to have to send in a check and wait a long period to have the funds added to increase my credit line. There should be an option to send in funds to increase credit line through the app by use of a debit card or ach from a bank account. This made me consider looking for another financial institution where I can increase my credit line without having to mail in a check/money order and then wait for it to be received and processed. I’m still waiting for my credit line to increase, and I have a vacation coming in a few days.
