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

Complaint:
I wanted to switch banks from Capital One to XXXX, so I submitted a wire transfer request to Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX. The following day, on Monday XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One sent me an email saying they froze my account, worth almost {$400000.00}, providing a phone number for me to call. I called them and provided extensive verification information ( such as my social security number, passport details, travel history, account details, family member information, and current location ). On the call, they then told me they've decided to " end the business relationship '' and freeze my funds to do an " investigation '' that takes " 1 to 3 '' months. I asked why and they said that they can't tell me because it may " jeopardize '' their investigation and I was told that I can not appeal. I received no follow-up email. 

I can no longer pay my taxes, which are due in less than a week. I can not buy groceries or pay rent. I'm a simple marketing freelancer, and my banking history is simple payments from clients, and everyday transactions like taxis and restaurants. I travel to many places as a tourist, going to countries like XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. In the call with Capital One, they asked about my travel history, and they seemed to not know that XXXX is a country, as they asked me if I meant " XXXX. '' In any case, a private business froze my funds and I have no recourse. I am happy to verify any account information, transactions, travel details, or anything else. I told this to Capital One, and instead of asking me to provide more information, they froze everything I have.

If such evidence is not forthcoming, they demand the immediate removal of the negative payment status associated with this account from their credit report. The following accounts were always paid on time and are therefore being disputed : XXXX - XXXX XXXX  XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. XXXX. I do not consent to an electronic communications.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
Brand new credit card received with a credit limit of {$1000.00}. My very first payment was due XX/XX/18. I made a payment online XX/XX/18. I received an emailed same day ( XX/XX/18 ) stating the payment was " scheduled '' and would take 2 business days to post. Emailed received XX/XX/18 stating the payment made on account posted XX/XX/18. Next email received XX/XX/18 was simply stating my statement was ready. XX/XX/18 and XX/XX/18 indicated that a payment was missed. I contacted the issuing bank ( Synchrony for XXXX ) to which I was advised for the very first time that my payment was rejected. I never received any notification via email that this was an issue. On XX/XX/18 I was able to speak with a supervisor who informed me that the notices that go out for rejected payments, only go out in a letter to the home address and NOT via email like all of their other correspondences related to the financial aspect of the account. She also stated that the 2nd email that indicates a " posting '' to the account does not mean funds were received by my bank for the payment. The email does have verbiage that indicate that it being considered as " posted '' there could be issued with my bank information and funds not meeting the payment. The letter that they generate for this " rejected '' payment was dated XX/XX/18, and was received in the mail on XX/XX/18. As a result of this undisclosed " rejected '' payment, I was charged a late fee, ( however, I would have corrected my bank acct number or used another source of payment if I was notified and the payment would not have been late ), the late payment was removed, yet my credit limit was drastically reduced. This particular credit car has options when purchasing to request installment payments of purchased, therefore by reducing the limit, the pending charges, once processed would result in the credit line being exceeded. I had previously made purchased based on my credit availability at that time. This appears to be a tactic used to set a consumer up for fee after fee. The notifications used were deceptive as they email for late payments and when payments are received, but lack timely notifications that could inform the consumer of issues that could result in a negative impact on credit and additional fees. Their resolve was for me to request a review for an increase in the credit limit ( of which I was denied ) and no options for the communication as this was their practice and they were " sorry this happened '' and I could simply pay off the card to avoid further issues.

Complaint:
FOLLOW UP. I FILED A COMPLAINT 30 DAYS AGO STILL NO RESULT. THIS IS UNDER FEDERAL LAW, 
YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO COMPLETE YOUR INVESTIGATION. THESE NEGATIVE ITEMS ARE HIGHLY DAMAGING MY CREDIT REPORT AND CREDITWORTHINESS. 

On XX/XX/2023, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I have been made aware that a credit charge has been placed on my national credit report by XXXX XXXX University and it has been made fraudulently. I have had this discussion with their school officials and Ive told them numerous times I was never enrolled at their institution. It was an enrollment advisor who made this decision on her own fruition after she made notes on the account that she couldnt reach me or and still made a conscious effort to vindictively enroll me without my consent. They kept asking me to write a letter stating this and I told them no because its an admission of enrollment and it wouldve protected and absolved the employee from all responsibilities of what she took upon her to do with out my approval and with any consent, fraudulent on behalf from me. I never confirmed enrollment with any representative at XXXX XXXX University. 

I have spoken to numerous representatives, most of the encounters were unpleasant Kurt and rude, some were deceitful and only a few were understanding and kind .I told them I dont agree with what was done and I think it was a biased and prejudice move and that writing a letter would suggest that I did agree to enrollment, and not one XXXX Representative that I spoke to tried to even correct the matter. This so-called XXXX specialist, documented Im some note taking system that she never spoke with me after our initial conversation of me expressing intention and interests and according to her, as I was quoted by another representative it was like I, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX dropped of the face of the planet, because she never spoke to me or heard from me again. I am a XXXX individual and Im sure she didnt hear from me again is because Im battling a XXXX XXXX XXXX illness. Knowing all of this brother this XXXX specialist  or her colleagues could help me resolve this issue. All in all, she still thought it was a great idea and continued to go ahead with the fraudulent enrollment illegally and without my consent. Then, XXXX XXXX had the unmitigated gaul and audacity to turn this over to a collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$13.00}, XXXX I have contacted Federal Student Aid, XXXX, US Department of Education, Office of Inspector General and the local news outlets to help me get this resolved for good. I am extremely hurt and disappointed by what XXXX XXXX made a conscious decision to do and also in their lack of understanding in attempts towards resolving this as well. Filing these fraud charges against XXXX XXXX is the only way its going to get permanently resolved, removed and dismissed. 

I can be reached at XXXX to further discuss how this is going to be resolved and rectified by XXXX and its representatives. 

Respectfully submitted, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

My loan was made and closed in XXXX with the first payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. I made this payment and then the loan was sold to XXXXXXXX XXXX   for servicing. I paid the payments to XXXX electronically until XX/XX/XXXX. At this time, the loan was sold again. This time to GMFS. During the transfer to GMFS, a payment was credited to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, but did not catch up in the transfer process. GMFS asked for the proof the payments were made and this information ( Bank Statements showing the withdrawals ) for every payment on the account was provided on XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I was told they are still researching the missing payment and will not correct any negative credit reporting until they complete their research. I feel like this is a very simple fix and GMFS has not and is not doing its due diligence to protect the integrity of the consumer.

GMFS provides the absolute WORST Customer service of any servicing provider I have dealt with in over 40 years.
