Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
Conn 's calls my phone and my wife 's phone more than 8 times every day. On many occasions, I have made verbal arrangements with them to automatically debit my checking account on the first of the month for the bill that is due, however, they start calling me on the XXXX of every month and call every single day numerous times. They also call my wife 's phone number even though she is not listed on the credit application. They call from several different telephone numbers and will discuss the debt with anyone who picks up the phone. They have talked to my wife, my step-children, my mother-in-law, and even once with a co-worker. I have repeatedly told them that such calls are considered harassment, and that they were not to call me any more, as I have already arranged payments with them. I also informed them of my work hours, which they have ignored and it had caused me problems at work.

Once I received this information it was not accurate nor had all the requested documents to provide proof that XXXX XXXX  the new proclaim holder had the right to collect this debt. I responded to XXXX XXXX letter dated XX/XX/XXXX however I received it XX/XX/XXXX ( envelope show postal date stamp XX/XX/XXXX ) which was beyond the 30 days from the receipt date of XX/XX/XXXX ( certified receipt included ). Reviewing the attached documents will show XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX XXXX has fraudulent changed data on my report after I made them aware of Mississippi laws that they were not in compliance to. I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX, Compliance Officer stating the account is now noted to stop all collection actions based on this law ; however, she fail to compromised by deleting this account as stated in my request because XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX violated my rights as a consumer. Reporting inaccurate information for the previous 4 years and attempting to collect on a debt that is not allowed by Mississippi state statue from 1 year of foreclosure. This account was never classified as foreclosure but a charge-off and business loan until now.

The credit bureaus fail to evaluate my evidence but appeared to believe the bank after they alter information that was inaccurate for years.

State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
For a little over 6 months now, I have been receiving calls from Constar financial in order to collect a debt for a leased car that I turned in over 3 years ago. They say that I owed money for wear and tear on the car. I initially was in contact with XXXX at Constar Financial, and was very happy to pay the debt. After giving all my information to her, I received a call several weeks later saying that they were unable to process my request. I checked by bank and noticed that it never went through. So again I gave her the information and waited a couple days and they still did n't take the money out. After that I contacted them and they said that my credit union could not find my account even though I pay literally every bill with the same information with no problems. Although I was annoyed because XXXX and her director both were extremely pushy and rude, insinuating that I did n't have the money to pay them, when from the beginning I 've been giving all of information to collect this debt. But okay I gave them information to an alternate bank account at a whole different institution. Weeks went by and they still did not take the money out. I called both of my banks and they said there is no record of Constar financial ever trying to collect the debt from my account. So this caused a red flag for me. And then early today I received a call at my desk, after the last time I spoke with them, I specifically told them never contact me again regarding this because I will not be abused like this anymore. The man who called was even ruder then XXXX and stated that I needed to now send them a money gram to pay for this. He then proceeded to say ' you obviously do n't have the money to pay your debt ' He knows nothing and I have given my bank information many many times.They are harassing me and my mother at this point because they cant get it together. It seems as though this was their plan from the beginning, a kind of sham to get people to send money directly to them. Insanely rude and abusive company

Complaint:
This is a follow up, with additional information, to Case number : XXXX In the original complaint, I stated that I was reapplying for the line of credit ( per US Bank 's instructions ), so that my interest rate would be based on the correct credit score. However, I received a piece of mail from US Bank today reflecting the credit score used for the reapplication. It reflected it at XXXX credit score as of XXXX/XXXX/16. However, I now have proof from XXXX that my credit score was XXXX as of XXXX/XXXX/16. While I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt in the first place, it now seems that they 're systematically shaving XXXX points off my credit score prior to determining the rate. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I 've now spent hours on the phone trying to get some resolution. US Bank barely even seems to be able to understand the problem, let along who can or how to fix it. Please see attached documents.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
I am filing a complaint against Synchrony Bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX ). Synchrony Bank is affiliated with several companies that I have or had credit with, namely JCPenny Credit Card, Amazon, Old Navy, Discount Tire, Walmart and PayPal. My complaint with them relates to account ( s ) limits authorized with them and their reduction of my credit limit without warrant. It is not the fact that the credit was reduced, but sometimes reduced below my original credit line which ultimately negatively affects my credit score. In the case with Old Navy, the account was paid in full and Synchrony failed to notify me. Around XXXX time, I attempted to make a purchase and my card was closed by Synchrony. In another case with Amazon, my credit was reduced causing a credit on my account because I had already paid the balance in full. Synchrony kept the credit on my account and did not refund me the difference. In another case with JCPenney Credit Card, the credit limit of {$210.00} was reduced to {$100.00} which negatively affected my credit. I strongly believe that the posture that Synchrony has taken with my accounts has negatively affected my credit causing me hardship and XXXX on my family.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: HI
Product: Credit card
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
Credit card company called me to inform of suspicious charges. When I called back, they could not verify my identify based on the information I gave. After further research, it was determined that someone had stolen my personal information. That person had called credit card company to report my card stolen and then opened a new account. They also changed the information on my account to include address and phone number. I was also told that they were able to change my mother 's maiden name on the account. How can someone be allowed to change that? It is a fixed value. The company did not raise any red flags that fraud was occurring and this should have been their first clue. I was assured that " rigorous '' security questioning occurs before any changes are made to the account. I placed a passcode on the account to add increased security per the representative. However, when I called back later in the day with additional questions, I was not asked for the passcode to verify my account - only asked my DOB. This is unacceptable security.
