Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
I. XXXX sent me a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating 1 ) they had been retained by Wal-Mart, 2 ) notice of opportunity to contact within 30 days to dispute the debt, and 3 ) a statement they are a debt collector. The letter was delivered uncertified. 

II. I responded on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In that letter, I asked XXXX to validate the date. The letter stated to respond to a specific Notary Public ( who would verify and validate receipt of said validation ) within 30 days. The letter was sent by certified mail and received by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

III. I also pulled down my credit report and saw that this debt had been charged off. 

IV. I was served with a lawsuit on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by XXXX regarding this matter. 


ISSUE : This firm stated they were retained by Wal-Mart. That claim is patently false, since the debt was charged off. If Insert Original Lender was still pursuing this debt, it would not be at that status, so this firm has made a false statement regarding its disposition on this matter. Further, this firm has stated they are a debt collector further down in the letter. This indicates that they obtained this debt as third party debt collector. 

The statements made by XXXX in the letter are fraudulent and misleading, and intended to intimidate. Further, XXXX has extended this fraud into court.

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I have contacted Fair Collections & Outsourcing , Inc on two occasions asking to validate the debt owed. The first email reply was simply a bill/statement and the second email reply was a letter saying the debt was verified. There was no confirmation the debt is truly my debt as they have not provided any of my personal information or any type of supporting documents. 

Furthermore, If the debt is shown to be mine I can attest the amount owed is incorrect. One example I can provide is on the statement they sent, a charge for a garage clicker is listed. The clicker was returned before this was sent to collections. Why would I still be charged this if it was my debt?

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OR
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit determination

Complaint:
I applied for a Capital One Venture Card. The disclosure notice stated that the Annual Percentage Rates ( APR ) are 12.9 %, 17.9 % or 22.9 % depending on one 's credit worthiness. I was surprised that I was assigned the 17.9 % APR upon approval and after Capital One ran my credit through XXXX. I had a recent XXXX credit score of XXXX, generally considered excellent. After seeing the rate Capital One provided me I immediately ran a credit check through Experian and I found no potential negatives on my credit report with all accounts are in good standing. I XXXX attempted to inquire with Capital One as to why I would not receive the better rate, and they said that I had agreed to the terms offered, that I should read the terms and they could not provide me any further assistance. In fact, I believe their application provides a range of APR 's until the applicant submits the application and then the applicant discovers what rate Capital One has granted the applicant. It is quite possible that Capital One has a standard that I did not reach with regard to credit worthiness. Unfortunately, I can not help but wonder who does qualify for the lower rate they advertise. With excellent credit, I would like to know why I did not qualify for the lower rate. If Capital One has a very narrow qualifying criteria for the lower rate, they should disclose what score is necessary to obtain the low rate or not advertise the lower rate. Generally, I believe Capital One should also be more transparent and forthcoming with what their standards are for interest rates for applicants.

Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I got an email from Chase saying that my number has been deleted. I tried to log into my account on the Chase app to see what's going on. The app tells me that my account has been restricted for " suspicious activity '' and prompts me to call a number.

I made sure the number is legitimate and called. The fraud department of Chase said they restricted my account and they're about to close it and the decision is irreversible. I called about 10 times and talked to 10 different employees, and even went to the local branch, none of them know why Chase closed my account.

They also said I can never open a Chase checking account again and I'll receive the money via mail within 20 days. I have absolutely no idea why they would close my account or why they wouldn't give me a reason as to why they closed it.
