Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I have received an updated letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX in regard to the Synchrony Bank/Paypal account , with an updated balance. Previously I have been disputing the amount of the interest that was reflected on the collection notices without explanation or any statements provided. This interest had been added after the account was charged off, the dispute lasted over 6 months and I have not involved CFPB. During the dispute, Synchrony Bank/Paypal and XXXX cashed half of the checks that I kept sending every month and the other half was not cashed. 
However, XXXX and Synchrony Bank/Paypal in the updated letter increased the balance owed. 
After almost a year of complaints and disputes, the interest of {$400.00} that was charged illegally has finally been removed from the balance owed. 
Now they are showing that the amount paid off to this date is slightly over {$500.00}, how is it possible if their own statement from XX/XX/22 a year back showed a balance paid to date of {$780.00}? Yes, back then it was also showing an interest of {$400.00} as a part of the amount owed and that was reflected in the higher amount owed. Now, after the interest was removed and I made payments along the time they reviewed the dispute, the balance owed decreased drastically. But, no!!! 
I have copies of the cashed checks by Paypal/Synchrony Bank for XX/XX/22, XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22 all in the amount of {$50.00} which totals {$250.00}, I also mailed 4 other checks but during the previous dispute they were never cashed and I had to stop payment on them. Using the following numbers of the previous statements provided, if the balance owed is {$2500.00} and interest of {$400.00} is taken away, it would make the amount owed {$2100.00} then minus the cashed checks listed above in the amount of {$250.00}, it should bring the amount presently owed to {$1800.00}. It seems they are trying to remove the disputed interest, which they can't explain, from the statement visually but quietly adding it to the amount owed on purpose to collect more. Isn't it a violation of the FDCPA? Please I have reached out multiple times offering to settle this debt, but neither XXXX nor Synchrony Bank/Paypal are cooperative, and there is always that is done to increase the amount owed, missing payments, an interest without proper explanation or statements provided showing how it was calculated, inaccuracies that when I am trying to bring them to their attention or asking to review takes months or responded in formal, ordinary letters saying that no error was found which is exhausting and simply disrespectful, unfair and harassing.

The consumer reporting agencies never gave me my right to opt out and furthermore, they never ask for my permission to furnish this information further they have assumed this vital role and have infringed upon my right to privacy, selling my information to a third-party debt collector.

Also, its got me from being able to receive more business credit.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I disputed an inaccurate credit card on my report for all three bureaus. I disputed the XXXX XXXX credit card for {$7400.00} on my XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. I disputed the XXXX Bank for {$13000.00} on my Equifax which was removed from XXXX and XXXX. These accounts were reinserted without proper notice. The FCRA states that my information may not be reinserted on your credit file by the credit reporting agency unless the furnisher of the information certified that the information is, in fact, true and accurate. Furthermore, the consumer reporting agency is required to send the consumer written notification within five business days that the information has been reinserted on your account and provide contact information for the company that furnished the information. I successfully disputed and had a delinquent account on my credit report removed. 

The XXXX account in the amount of {$13000.00} is closed, but still reporting. This account was disputed and removed from all three bureaus. It was only reinserted back on my Equifax.

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:
I found a company called GLA Collections on my credit report around the first of XX/XX/2022. It was for the amount of {$1000.00}. It was medical in nature. I never received any previous bills for this amount, nor any mail correspondence from this company. I first checked with my hospital and they do not have any record of a missed bill for this amount. I called GLA and they sent me a generic computerized " bill '' for the amount they say I owe. I sent back a letter from the Fair Credit Reporting Act asking GLA to send me an itemized bill from the original creditor, with my signature, and for the services rendered. I sent this letter certified mail on XX/XX/2022. GLA 's response was a duplicate generic computerized bill with only their name and the amount owed. I have had a credit repair agency working to help dispute this collections, but now a year later, GLA has still not removed it from my credit report. This is the only blemish on my credit report and is keeping me from getting needed financing for a new business.

Complaint:
My husband had a bill from XXXX hit his credit this year on XXXX XXXX  We received no letter of warning about this bill. It just went straight to collections. My husband only knew about this bill because his XXXX report gave him a warning that that his credit dropped by XXXXXXXX XXXX  We always pay our bills on time. We also shouldn't have a bill for the service date due to a settlement that was paid out for a car accident my husband was in. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and they do not have the information about this bill. The only bill they could see was from XXXX XXXX. They told me that they have been switching systems from another billing system and it could be weeks before this new department has the information. When I first got this news about my credit, I called them right away and they said the same thing. That they got a new system and were not able to look up bills prior to XXXX. I honestly believe they are trying to double bill us on a settlement or there is a huge error with their billing department. This drop in our credit without a way to resolve it is ruining our opportunity to buy a house and for me to gain employment in my industry.
