Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX I purchased furniture using an XXXX XXXX Credit Card. There was a promotional 24 months same as cash offering. I set up my bank account to pay on the first of every month. In XXXX of XXXX I was traveling and did not open my statement. The bank paid the {$150.00} as usual on XX/XX/XXXX. The credit card company received it on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I got a robocall to call Synchrony bank. I called immediately. I was told I had " underpaid my account ''. When I stated I had paid it the same as every month I was told " your promotion ended ''. I was really surprised and told them I was sorry and paid the balance immediately. They then told me they had added {$3500.00} to my total, meaning the interest rate was now 48 %! When I got to customer service they told me that IF I had called 24 hours earlier I would have been in the grace period and not had to pay the interest. So..they knew for 12 days that I had underpaid my account and WAITED until it was too late for me to pay my balance to call and tell me I owed more money for that month. This is unbelievable. I spoke to 6 people and they agreed that they could have called, but the waited. This in horrible business practice. It was not like I waited 6 months. I paid it immediately!

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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I got a phone call from Trans World Systems. They stated that I owed a debt to a medical doctor back dating back to XXXX. I had recently seen this same doctor on XX/XX/XXXX, and they said I dont have any pending balances. 

The associate with Trans World was very rude and was hesitant to get my card information to pay for the amount owed. I had told them I can pay the amount this coming Friday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) but that I would call in to give my card number and payment and that I didnt feel comfortable giving them my card number right now. And I also asked to validate this debt but the individual told me that supposedly since XXXX they have been trying to contact me, but I havent gotten calls nor correspondence from this collection agency. 

They were hesitant and they just hung up on me and said they were going to take notes. I then immediately called the doctors office from where supposedly the original debt is from. They said there is nothing on file and on the contrary, I have a {$40.00} credit on my account and no due balances are listed.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my wife went through a XXXX  procedure on her XXXX. Due to medical treatment she was put on short term XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. Since XX/XX/XXXX we started to fall behind on our mortgage payments. On XX/XX/XXXX my wife and I sat down with a housing recovery specialist from XXXX  ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) to try and alleviate the issue and look for options to get caught up with our house payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, a loan modification application was submitted to Shellpoint mortgage servicing, after continued emails and phone calls to try to communicate with the appointed point of contact from Shellpoint to verify they had received all the required paperwork, the application was denied due to verbiage on the packet. After finding out what the mistake was on the first application we submitted a second loan modification on XX/XX/XXXX, again being denied due to " debt to income ratio '' ( DTI ) being out of range ( too much debt ), they failed to account for my wife 's income even after they were provided with several months worth of pay stubs. Once again we are going through the process of applying for a change of circumstances as of this moment. This whole process would have been a lot easier if it wasn't for the lack of communication and due diligence on Shellpoint 's behalf. The following are issues we were presented with during the process : Excessive / duplication of documentation requirements in assistance process you had to submit the same documents over and over again Lack of proper / due diligence review of documents ( pay stubs ) submitted the pay stubs you have submitted have not been reviewed and filed/recorded correctly Lack of contact /communication throughout the assistance process the POCs do not respond to emails or call back regardless of numerous attempts to communicate with them. 
Due to the issues listed before, we are now 8 months behind in our payments, and without a clear resolution to this problem in sight. As I write this, we are submitting my wife 's paystubs for the third time in hopes everything is done correctly this go around. We are acting in good faith and want to keep the property but it seems that Shellpoint is more interested in foreclosing. Due to the nature of my loan ( VA Loan ), I have my VA representative looking into this case.
