Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I wish I didn't have to file this complaint. However, I am at a loss when it comes to synchrony. I'm a victim of identity theft ; I had an individual completely take over my checking accounts during the holiday. I notified Synchrony 's customer service department on several occasions. Unfortunately, I never received the help in which I requested. I let them know that I was working on getting this resolved ASAP. Because I utilized my checking account previously to pay my SAMS CLUB/ SYNCHRONY account, all of my other financial institutions made arrangements to assist me. From my personal experience, it appears that synchrony punishes customers for being victims of identity theft. I received absolutely XXXX assistance ; I also notified several managers that I was having a hard time on the app removing my checking account that had been compromised as I could no longer use this account to fund my synchrony account. When I initially tried to remove the account, it said it was removed as a funding source, only to find out later that it was not. Identity theft, unfortunately, isn't remedied overnight. Based on Synchrony 's practices, they come off as very insensitive. I requested that my account be reopened as I found it unfair that it would be closed simply because I was a victim. I asked for help or other alternatives while waiting for my bank to investigate the account. We are a military family. We work very hard for everything that we have. I would appreciate it if Synchrony would show goodwill and reopen my account. For some reason, I also have a 30-day late which I don't understand, and I'm asking that the late payment be removed. I tried my best to be proactive and to get ahead of the situation. This did take place during the holiday. It took nearly until the beginning of XXXX for everything to be sorted out with my funding bank. The result was that I had to open a new checking account. This was for my protection. I want to think that Synchrony bank cares. I was asked to provide a letter stating that my identity being stolen was the reason my payments were returned. The issue with that, Is according to my institution. They can not free-hand letters ; they have to send out templates based on the situation. I asked if you guys would take a police report I was told no. This is entirely unfair. I aim to re-establish and maintain a great relationship with synchrony ; please help me with this.

Complaint:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I used Ally Financial for a vehicle loan. I sent in my payments every month by check after they locked me out of the user portal after missing one payment two years ago. Nobody would get back to me, nobody would unlock my portal, so i continued to pay it as i should yet they said because i was late on one payment, that the rest of my payments were a month behind. I paid every month on time except that one payment and then to try and make it better, i even paid off the vehicle several months early. All i got for my effort was them ignoring my attempt at contact and putting a 30 day late mark on my credit report every month for over a year. Now i do not qualify for a loan because of all the late pays even though Ally got theirs, i am stuck renting because of all the fraudulent late pays on my credit report.

Company: Movement Mortgage LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
This is a NEW/ADDITIONAL complaint regarding Movement Mortgage 's unethical ( potentially illegal ) business practices. I recently submitted CFPB complaint # XXXX regarding Movement 's patterns of harassment, disrespect, and blatantly false accusations & threats which have thus far ( and continue to be ) totally unfounded, unsubstantiated, and unresolved. 
I did predict direct retaliation from Movement Mortgage due to my complaint, so I meticulously downloaded & cataloged ALL data, files, and captured detailed screenshots of EVERYTHING I can see via their customer-facing portal. It seems my prediction came true. 
Specifics : the prior complaint was due to Movement 's harassment and threats regarding my home insurance policy. They constantly sent me letters in the mail stating falsehoods such as my policy has expired, proof of insurance is invalid, etc, while threatening to buy additional policies on my behalf and at my expense. At the time of last week 's complaint, my payment portal profile clearly showed an ACTIVE homeowners insurance policy ( detailing coverage dates, policy number, underwriter, and upcoming escrow disbursement which was scheduled for yesterday XXXX ). Today I discovered that Movement didn't disburse payment as was planned/recorded just last week. In fact, Movement manually DELETED ALL REFERENCES to my home insurance policy and the scheduled disbursements to pay for the policy through escrow. It seems to me Movement can't articulate any wrongdoing on my part, so they tried to manufacture a technical default by not disbursing funds as obligated, and potentially hoping for a resulting lapse of coverage to then give them something real to threaten me with. Luckily I anticipated this type of unethical retaliation and paid the insurance policy directly. No lapse, still actively covered. Nice try. These people need to be investigated by an objective third party. Perhaps Fannie Mae might take interest in Movement 's improper servicing of Fannie Mae loans? Just a thought.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that, it did not appear that I or a properly authorized third party sent in my letter asking for a re-investigation and demanded that you provide actual proof of the information that was used to verify and the accounts on my consumer report. And that, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency/ credit clinic . 

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.

15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 

You were advised by me on, XX/XX/2023, by certified mail ( copy enclosed ) that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by menot a third-party agency. 

Please be advised that TODAY, XX/XX/2023, makes the 15th calendar day from when you received my request, and BY LAW, you were supposed to provide, to me, as the consumer, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE USED TO DETERMINE THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION. 

You have now, in fact, VIOLATED the law and MY RIGHTS as a consumer. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation.

Last month i sent out some documents to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX credit reporting agency about a late payment that saw on my credit report.

The pandemic has hurt alot of us and the Cares Act is in place to help us ease the suffering especially financially. Please help me bc it doesn't sound like they will honor the cares act I called in and they refused to validate and remove the other late payment. The account is open and in good standing at the moment but they will not honor the CARES ACT here. Please help this is causing me stress and severely hurting my credit.

Hello, I submitted a previous complaint about Credit Karma because they were not responding to my emails requesting the closure of my account.

Please stop the emails from coming to my email address XXXX. I told your member support team that XXXX will not allow me to remove the card ending in XXXX from my account. These emails are considered spam at this point and I am not able to unsubscribe from these alerts. If I get one more " Your account needs your eyeballs, XXXX '' email, I am going to scream.
