Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX manager called Friday XX/XX/09 stated that I signed a contract with them stating that they could report late transactions on my consumer report. 

TILA 15 USC 1601 protects me as a consumer against inaccurate & unfair credit billing. As a consumer, I signed an agreement to enter into a credit transaction with XXXX ( on an unknown date because my consumer report is showing two different dates ) this was all done online. I had no say, legally it takes two consenting parties to create and agree. I was not informed, the agreement was not conspicuous and clear of basic facts and I made a uniformed decision when there was no evidence of indebtedness, the only evidence of the debt was the agreement but because of the uniformed decision that agreement is null and void. 

1681s-3 of this title, any- ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; I have reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX they have yet to reverse the late payment or report it OK USC 1681b states that consumer agencies can only furnish something in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX permission which is another violation.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Unexpected increase in interest rate

Complaint:
I the fall of XXXX, I took out a PC Richards Credit Card through Synchrony Bank ( CT ) at a PC Richards location in XXXX, XXXX. I was told of the promotional interest rate and that there was NO interest for XXXX years. I was then told that interest would begin accruing AFTER the XXXX year period. I paid the minimum payment or more each month and kicked in an extra {$1500.00} payment in the fall of XXXX to get my payment down to {$1500.00} ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ). In XX/XX/XXXX, Synchrony added a {$1300.00} " interest charge '' on to that amount, bringing my new total owed to {$2700.00}. This constitutes an XXXX XXXX interest rate on my balance. 

This is outrageous and clearly constitutes predatory lending. In no way, at ANY time did I ever agree to such a rate, nor would I under any circumstances. 

I have attempted to work through this issue with Synchrony Bank and they insist that I agreed to terms of " differed interest '', a term which I never agreed to or heard at the time of application and purchase. I was told the interest would " kick in '' after the promotional period, which I understood to mean that I would have to pay XXXX XXXX on the remaining BALANCE owed at that time. 

What Synchrony Bank has done is charge me XXXX XXXX interest on the ORIGINAL balance even after I have paid down that balance by approximately {$3300.00}. They are essentially assessing a massive fee, the likes of which was never disclosed to me at the time I took out the card at the store. 

I fully understand that I owe interest on my balance. But I should not have to pay interest on money I have already paid back. That is not right and it certainly is not what I signed up for. 

I was on my way to having this balance paid off and paid faithfully on the account only to have the amount owed nearly double in XXXX month.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Transunion regarding their failure to respond to my request within the stipulated timeframe of 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite my submission of an online request on XX/XX/2023, and the estimated completion date provided by Transunion as XX/XX/2023, I have yet to receive any response or resolution from the company. 

Below are the details of my request and relevant information for your reference : File Number : XXXX Date of Request : XX/XX/2023 Estimated Completion Date : XX/XX/2023 I am extremely disappointed with Transunion 's lack of prompt and efficient service. As a consumer, I have the right to timely and accurate information about my credit report, and Transunion 's failure to adhere to the statutory requirement of responding within 30 days is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

I have made multiple attempts to contact Transunion regarding the status of my request, but have not received any satisfactory response or explanation for the delay. It is frustrating to experience such a lack of professionalism and accountability from a credit reporting agency that is entrusted with handling sensitive consumer information. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Transunion for their non-compliance with the FCRA. I believe that their failure to respond within the designated timeframe not only reflects a disregard for consumer rights but also highlights a potential systemic issue within their organization. 

Enclosed with this letter is my initial request to Transunion. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure that Transunion complies with its legal obligations under the FCRA. Additionally, I would appreciate being kept informed of any developments or actions taken in response to this complaint. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.
