Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
I opened a line of credit through PayPal Credit which is contracted through Synchrony Bank. The contract provides customers deferred forgivable interest meaning that if the account is paid in full prior to the deferral period expiration then all of the interest is waived. I have had repeated issues with this bank essentially making it impossible to set up a specific amount through AutoPay that would ensure that the account is automatically paid off during this period. First, I changed the AutoPay amount to a higher amount to ensure that it would be paid off, but I was told that it would not take effect prior to the next scheduled withdrawal ( even though the withdrawal had not yet happened ) because a statement had already been issued. This was annoying because many other credit servicers do not do this, but I let it go and again budgeted accordingly to attempt to ensure that the automatic drafts would pay off the account before the expiration of the deferral period. However, the situation became significantly escalated when I realized that a statement was never issued for the month of XXXX. I inquired about it to see why it never issued and was told that sometimes this happens. Then I asked on XX/XX/2021 whether the Autopay amount that I had set up would still draft, and was told that no, it would not. I have repeatedly tried to set up a specific amount that would be automatically drafted so that the account would be paid off prior to the deferral expiration. However, it seems like this company keeps using random loopholes to ensure that an early payoff will not happen. Luckily I am on top of it, but many other customers of this bank may not be. This would cause them to suddenly have a bunch of interest accrue to their account without expecting that this would happen and cause significant issues with their budgets. 

I believe what Synchrony is doing is unethical, and possibly illegal. Therefore, I am submitting this complaint so CFPB can look into this.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: VA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I recently applied to Discover for a credit card. It has into APR of 0 % and after that the APR can vary from 11.99 to 23.99 As advertised, it reads : * Intro purchase APR is 0 % for 14 months from date of account opening ; then the standard purchase APR applies. Intro Balance Transfer APR is 0 % for 14 months from date of first transfer, for transfers under this offer that post to your account by   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 ; then the standard purchase APR applies. Standard purchase APR : 11.99 % variable to 23.99 % variable, based on your creditworthiness.
I have FICO score of  XXXX . I received a 23.99 APR! This is VERY misleading when it specifically says " based on your creditworthiness ''. How is it I received the HIGHEST APR with an excellent FICO score. I called the company and they said after a year they could look at possibly lowering it. I talked to the Manager and he said he could close the account. I told him if I close it, it affects my credit score and he said " I do n't know anything about that '' ... and he is a manager?!?!?! I feel this company is very misleading! It is a way of tricking you into thinking you will get a good APR, and when you get it, you do n't ... in hopes that you are not able to pay off your balance and the APR will skyrocket to 23.99!

Complaint:
Bank of America charged placed two charges on my account for overdraft fees, {$35.00} each the posted date is XX/XX/18. Yesterday morning I received notification that my available balance was below {$25.00}, subsequently I deposited {$540.00} in cash at XXXX. This deposit posted to the account immediately as it was cash, and before the XXXX cut-off for same day posting. This morning, XX/XX/18, I called customer service and spoke with XXXX after noticing I was charged two overdrafts fees that caused my account balance to become negative. XXXX maintained that I was being charged the overdraft fees for items that posted to my account yesterday, however, my deposit posted yesterday was well. Which would have kept my account from being negative at the end of the bank 's business day, the point at which overdraft fees are charged. One overdraft fees was refunded, but the other is still on my account despite my account never posting in a negative status.

In XXXX, 2021 I got XXXX and requested help with my mortgage with Bank Of America. 
I then realized i did not need the help. I then called in a few days later and cancelled the request and that i will not have any problems with paying. 
I was then told by the bank not to worry about it just keep paying as i have been. 
Well come XX/XX/2021, I applied for a loan with my bank. I was denied and the reason was Bank Of America reported to the credit bureau that i was in forbearance. 
I called Bank Of America and was then told that they were going to remove it. Later that night another person from the bank calls me and claims that they made a mistake and it should of never went to collections. 
Never heard anything from them sense. I tried calling and with no luck to resolve anything. 
Bank Of America has cost me a loan and my job is at risk for having a mark on my credit report. I want a copy of my payment history. you will see i was never late. 
I also want Bank Of America to remove the forbearance immediately.

Complaint:
I can not afford a lawyer, but I have tried to fix my credit in every way possible. XXXX, XXXX, and Experian REFUSES to remove items off of my credit report that were CLEARLY identity fraud. I provided police reports on several occasion. Ive sent in copies of my Drivers license, SS card, utility bills, FTC complain forms, detailed account information, AND police Reports ... and EVERY SINGLE form they asked for. ALL they did in return was either deny the claim, or say they never received proof, just like in my previous complaint. I will now move forward and file a complaint with the FTC, and I will look into what other avenues I can pursue. I am trying to sell my home, and buy a new one ... and because my identity was stolen I am STUCK. I need this rectified ASAP. I have done ALL I can do.

Complaint:
I have been unable to pay one of my three private loans due to my funds being restricted, I have sent them a written notice specifying this information but I still keep getting e-mails, letters, and phone calls. They also contact family and friends whose information I did not provide. I understand that legally, they are allowed to do most of these things to collect on the debt. My complaint is certain faulty tactics they use to try to contact me or to attempt to get a reply from me ( even though I clarified I am unable to make payments at this time ). I have been getting XXXX 2ND DAY envelopes that have way earlier dates on the letter itself, and way after I actually receive them in the mail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened. I received one " final  notice '' letterXX/XX/XXXX within a XXXXXXXX 2ND DAY envelope. When I opened the letter, it was dated XX/XX/XXXX, and requested a reply to the letter by XX/XX/XXXX as a final notice and option for making payment arrangements. How am I supposed to call before XX/XX/XXXX, if I receive the notice weeks after that date? ( I was home, and my address is current on file ).

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX of this year I sent letters to Experian, XXXX  and XXXX  to look into an error on my credit report that shows I was 90 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. The reports does not say I was ( 60 days ) late in XX/XX/XXXX nor does it say ( 30 days ) late in XX/XX/XXXX. It is just marked as 90 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. I asked them to delete this error and was sent back a response they as " updated ''. nothing was changed or updated, that was just something they used to close dispute I supposed. 
I think it is very unfair to have them report want ever they chose and then state it was closed. Also, during this process of other accounts disputed there was an account deleted in XX/XX/XXXX then added back a month later without giving me proper notification on why this account was added. This goes against my rights.

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 160 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.
