Complaint:
This is a complaint to XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 

After reviewing my credit reports I noticed that your company are violating the Fair credit reporting act by improperly using my credit reports for the following accounts ; [ XXXX Account Number : XXXX ] [ XXXX Account Number : XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ] These accounts are charged off/canceled debt. Because it is canceled/charged off, this is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS Publication XXXX The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/cancelled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, and INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this information inaccurate. I provided a screenshot from the IRS website for further evidence. As your company know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate. I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said account. Please be aware all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when your company can not furnish the validity of the remark. I am not in dispute of the ownership of the accounts so there is no need to " verify '' it, but if your company insists on " verification '' then I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ). Therefore, it is unlawful to send me a partial disclosure and not the entire file. If you verify or deem the item of information that I disputed above as accurate and complete, then I request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy or completeness of the information including the business name and address of any furnisher contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), in no later than fifteen ( 15 ) days after making such determination. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). 

This is not only a violation from these companies [ XXXX, XXXX, TRANSUNION ] but it is also a violation from the furnishers of this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency, if the person knows or has a reasonable cause to believe that information is inaccurate.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I was notified by Commenity bank that my account would be closed due to not being used. After seeing this information I went to find my XXXX XXXX  but could only find my card for when they were partnered with XXXX XXXX and not Commenity bank. I called and spoke with an employee and provided them my current billing address and requested a card to be sent to that address. They sent the new card to my previously listed address. Which required me to go into the store and make a purchase by obtaining my card info over the phone. I made the transaction solely for the purpose of keeping my account open. I then made a payment for the full amount due only to find out that they had closed my account which I find to be a deceptive practice. They weren't even the ones to notify me that my account was closed. I had a notification from XXXX XXXX that notified me. My experience with the bank has been terrible since the first interaction with them over the phone. When speaking to the customer service representative who took my payment they updated my address incorrectly which I identified and changed online XX/XX/.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem related to refinancing

Complaint:
I cosigned on a car for my ex for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. He refinanced the loan as we had went our separate ways. On XX/XX/2017 a payment for {$18000.00} was paid. When the new financial institution called they got the payoff on XX/XX/2017 that was good through XX/XX/2017. The check was received by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017. At the time my ex thought the loan had been completely paid off, since he had  asked for a payoff. When the new financial institution wrote the check to XXXX XXXX, they did not figure in the interest for that gap. I received a call on XX/XX/2017 stating the payment was late and would affect my credit score. A payment of {$300.00} is what was left on the account. I was told it was due on XX/XX/2017. I had previously called in to be sure the loan was in good standing before this, and I was  reassured it was. I have NEVER been late on a payment. When speaking with XXXX XXXX I pleaded with them on what I needed to do for this to not impact my credit score. I was told I would need to have the payment made today, as the reports are not sent until month end. I was told if it was taken care of within that week, I would not see a negative impact. I hung up the phone and called my ex and he made the payment that day. After he called, I called back in to confirm payment was showing in process and paid. I was told on the phone that I did not need to worry about it affecting my credit, that a note would be made on the account and it would be taken care of without a negative impact. They completely lied to me. My credit now shows a late payment when I did exactly what was asked of me and within the same day. I did not stretch it out or let it slide. I wrote XXXX XXXX a letter asking for a one time forgiveness and explained the situation, they would not grant it. The reasons why I was unaware about the loan was I had confirmation from him it had been paid off, which is why I did not realize there was a balance. XXXX XXXX stated that the other financial institution would have to write a letter stating their mess up, even though they know exactly what happened even though the loan was always timely and only with them for a year. I do not even know who the new financial institution is, as I am not on the loan. I would just really appreciate a one time courtesy from them as I was the cosigner and I would've taken care of it sooner had I been made aware. I feel that they waited to be able to penalize me and intentionally drop my credit score. For someone who always pays on time this extremely frustrating.

Received letter showing a past due debt from XXXX XXXX. I went through a debt consolidation a few years ago and settled all of my outstanding credit card debt. Since this time, Ive been able to get a couple of credit cards from XXXX XXXX which seems very odd they would offer me new accounts if I was trying in default on an account with them. Ive contacted the debt collection company, The Bureaus in XXXX, IL, and notified them that I disputed the debt. They have sent no additional information about the loan to verify it is accurate. It is showing up on my credit reports and I do not feel that it is correct.

Complaint:
I financed a bed from a now defunct business. I cant find any info on what this name of the business was. The loan is from synchrony bank. The problem I am experiencing is that they failed to mention how deferred interest worked in full. I was told that as long as I made my payments I would not be charged any interest. What they failed to mention is that I had a deadline as well. They made no attempt to communicate this in store. and the app through which I pay did nothing to inform me of this coming issue. The info was there but only if I dug for it. They made no discernable attempt to make me understand the full breadth of the contract. On XXXX I started this line of credit. I was told that as long as I make my payments om time, no interest would accrue. I made all payments on time, sometimes more than the minimum. And on XX/XX/XXXX my undisclosed deferred interest date kicked in and I was immediately charged {$1300.00}, on XX/XX/XXXX they charged another {$71.00}, and on XX/XX/XXXX another {$66.00}. My minimum payment right now is {$95.00}. If things continue like this it would take decades probably to pay off, the APR is 29.99 %, they clearly intend to keep me in debt. This is designed to take advantage of people. I did contact Synchrony and all they had to say was " Sorry '' that I hadn't been informed of how this worked. They said I had a month after initial interest started to pay it off. But I failed to notice what they had done until the 30 days had passed.

The issue I had was that when I tried to change my personal information on record, the phone number to which the company would send a verification message was not mine. I called them multiple times in the month of XXXX but they refused to believe that my personal information could be leaked. One person I spoke to on the phone was able to see that there was an unrecognized phone number on my profile but was not able to tell how it was possible. He transferred me to another department and then after that point nobody believed me and insisted that the phone number they have on file is my correct phone number. To clarify, they did have my phone on their file, but they also had another number on file which was the only for them to send verification message to.
