Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I noticed an error on my Equifax and XXXX XXXX reports who are reporting a bankruptcy that has been unverified. I requested numerous times for both agencies to verify this item, reinvestigate and to disclose the method of verification. I know they did not investigate this after numerous attempts to request an investigation. I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX to both credit reporting agencies requesting the methods of verification in which both listed XXXX XXXX. However, the credit bureaus neglected to contact XXXX XXXX although they stated that they did. I contact XXXX XXXX back on XX/XX/XXXX to request verification as well, and they replied that they were deleting this and updated my XXXX XXXX report so it no longer is reflecting a bankruptcy since it could not be verified. I responded to XXXX XXXX requesting that they disclose who they verify bankruptcies through, in which they replied that they use XXXX a third party reporting agency. This agency receives information from the courts, including the alleged court reporting a bankruptcy. The St Louis Bankruptcy Court stated they provide no information to any credit bureau or reporting agencies. I requested that the credit bureaus delete the bankruptcy being reported since they are still claiming that XXXX XXXX verified this public record, however I have provided copies of the letters that I received from XXXX XXXX that they confirmed they deleted the bankruptcy record and it is no longer on my file with them. They refuse stating they verified with XXXX XXXX still. However if they truly did then they would have found that XXXX XXXX is no longer reporting the unverified bankruptcy. Please investigate this matter so that I can have this unverified public record of a bankruptcy removed since it is damaging my credit report. The credit bureaus have failed to verify with XXXX XXXX after numerous requests, and copies of letter from XXXX XXXX that I have submitted to them have been neglected.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX financial sold my mortgage to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I was never sent a letter to inform me of this change. I had my bank account set up to XXXX XXXX my payment every month. I had been in my house over XXXX  years and have never missed a payment. When my bank sent the payment to XXXX  after they had sold the account XXXX  sent the payment to chase. Then the next month when XXXX received the payment they sent it back to my bank. I was not aware of the change until my bank contacted me and told me the payment had been returned. I contacted XXXX who told me they had sold the account. Then I contacted XXXX  at which time the payment was already late. XXXX told me that if I provided them with proof that my bank had sent the payment to cardinal on time and a good faith letter from XXXX admitting it was their mistake they would amend the credit report. I sent them both of those things and they refuse to fix the missed payment report. I have USPS reporting that sends me a email of all my mail, I never received a notice that my mortgage company had sold my mortgage and that I needed to take action. 

XXXX should have never returned my payment. They should have sent it to chase and contacted me to ask why my bank was still sending the payment to them. 

My missed payment for XXXX needs to be fixed on my credit report.

Williams and Fudge Inc is attempting to collect an alleged debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX. Williams and Fudge Inc is a 3rd party debt collector. I have no written contract with Williams and Fudge nor any agreement with them to collect anything from me. I have never given written consent to Williams and Fudge Inc to have my personal information as this is identity theft. Williams and Fudge Inc are not legally licensed to even collect in the state of California per the NMLS consumer access site so not only are they illegally attempting to collect an alleged debt, but they are also illegally practicing without a license in California. They have reported this account on my credit reports without my written consent as well which is also illegal.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
This is my XXXX complaint about Synchrony Bank. Now it's about my Care Credit card. 
I made a statement about them targeting me as an XXXX American customer. I spoke with a customer service representative today over the phone. In the last conversation I had with them I explained to them to contact me by phone. Please no emails due to my illness I may not see or receive them. I am very ill and under XXXX. I have not received a bill or a phone call from Synchrony Bank to discuss any matters like most credit card companies operate when a bill is late. 
Today I spoke with XXXX and I let him know that I was going through my emails today and I received a message from Synchrony Bank asking for my zip code to retrieve the letter. I have attached a copy to this letter. The letter stated that my credit was decreased to what I owed XXXX dollars. Synchrony Bank never contacts me by phone or sent a bill in the mail. The representative said they sent me a text message. I never chose text messages as an option for contact. Text messages to a customer 's phone are so unprofessional for a company to use. Synchrony Bank is using other tactics to downgrade customers ' credit scores because they can't report unless they are 30 days late. The representative stated the department that handles the delinquent accounts found me to be a risk after a week and a couple of days late. They never contact me by phone or by mail to my address to discuss any matters or resolved issues. I have not used the care credit card. If Synchrony Bank would use the proper point of communication they would find out the correct information pertaining to why I didn't make the payment due to my illness and I forgot. The customer is ill and forgot. This letter of complaint is being copied and I am going to get the media attention because this is a violation totally. They sent a letter on the same day they decreased my credit to cover their back by email I would never discover the letter from Synchrony Bank if I wasn't looking for a medical bill that a company called about and asked if they could send the EOB by email so I could print it out. Synchrony Bank letter was in my Spam Mail. I spoke with the Bank months ago when I put the first complaint in and asked to be contacted by phone calls and mail Only. I have attached the letter. This Company is a Scam!
