Consumer complaint received 2017-09-04
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I took out a HELOC with 5/3 Bank in XXXX. In XXXX, I ran into some personal issues and could not pay the HELOC as the interest rate adjusted. My payment amount doubled. The HELOC was eventually charged off. I had tried to obtain a modification with 5/3 several years ago. It was going smoothly until payment was demanded to do the modification. I was given 1 day to come up with a {$700.00} payment before the mortgage would be charged off. I simply could not come up with the money. Then in XXXX 5/3 brought a lawsuit against me for the charged off HELOC. I again could not pay and consulted an attorney for a chapter XXXX bankruptcy to pay the arrearage. The BK XXXX was approved in XX/XX/XXXXwith a payment to 5/3 of {$400.00} for the arrearage and {$400.00} to keep the HELOC current. In XX/XX/XXXX I sold my property in order to pay off the HELOC. On the pay off I was hit with {$11000.00} and accrued interest of {$49.00}, XXXX. 5/3 also supplied a payment history which I believe does not take into account any of the monies paid to through the bankruptcy. I have made several attempts in XXXX to recover the monies owed to me and to receive a breakdown on how my payments were applied. My bankruptcy attorney was not familiar with this happening as he stated this was the first time he saw deferred interest on a payoff after the arrearage was agreed upon by 5/3 at the time of the bankruptcy filing. 5/3 also used a debt recovery service who has not answered any inquiries I had in regard to my account. All that was furnished was a payoff breakdown to my bankruptcy attorney. 5/3 's debt collection agency did not furnish the payoff until 3 days before closing. I did not want to postpone the closing and jeopardize the sale of the property.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Hello- In XXXX XXXX I purchased a XXXX exercise machine using a a credit card from Synchrony Bank which advertised no interest or late fees if payments were made on time for the minimum amount due within the promotional period. Below is a table of my due dates, amount paid, and date the payment posted per my checking account statements. 





Due Date : X/XX/17 {$300.00} Post Date X/XX/17 -- Due Date : X/XX/17 {$300.00} Post Date X/XX/17 -- Due Date : X/XX/17 {$360.00} Post Date X/XX/17 -- Due Date : X/XX/17 {$600.00} Post Date XXXX -- For example I paid the XXXX XXXX due date on X/XX/17 in the amount of {$300.00}, and the XXXX XXXX due date on X/XX/17 in the amount of {$300.00}. As you can see I paid well above the minimum required and early, every month. 

I received my XXXX XXXX statement and saw I had been incorrectly charged a late fee of {$25.00}. I called Synchrony customer service on XXXX XXXX to try and rectify the situation. The customer service agent admitted they had not posted my payment of {$360.00} made on X/XX/17, which made my account flagged as late in their system. I pointed out all payments were made early, on time and well above the minimum amount required each month. They would not remove the late charge, but I insisted and they told me it had been removed. They have now incorrectly posted this to my credit score. I am now also responsible for interest payments because they have incorrectly flagged my account as late during the promotional period. 

I have paid early, on-time, and well over the minimum amount due. According to Synchrony 's credit card agreement, I would not be charged late fees, would not have a late payment recorded on my credit score, and would not be liable for interest within the promotional period. I have upheld the credit agreement I entered into, and now my credit score has been adversely affected by Synchrony 's error. They will not remove this record from my credit score.

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 called XXXX  XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX to reporting inaccurate information on my credit report -- - Account # XXXX showing late payments and inconsistencies in both my TRANSUNION and XXXX credit bureaus. 

I explain to XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX hereafter XXXX  ) that I never missed any payments with them from XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I further explained that their online payment system was flawed and did NOT correctly process payments online. Each payment they are showing as " LATE '' was inaccurate and manually paid online or via direct deposit. However, XXXX still reported LATE PAYMENTS. Based on my history of payments, I was NEVER LATE until XXXX  updated their internal systems. 

Looking into my history with XXXX  XXXX XXXX since XXXX, the representative said that she can clearly see that the issue had to be internal because it was a consistent issue with the payment system... 

I was told by the XXXX Representative that ALL LATE PAYMENTS will be removed within 14 days due to system issues as a courtesy and in good faith. 

I'm filing a complaint because XXXX  XXXX XXXX were not honest in delivering it's promise to remove the LATE PAYMENTS in good faith. In contrary, XXXX  XXXX XXXX deliberately falsified it's responses to CFPB. Please see attached documentations which proves that they never VERIFIED nor UPDATED my credit report as they claimed in Complaint # XXXX. 

Furthermore, XXXX  XXXX XXXX violated my consumer rights under the FCRA and NEVER sent me any documentations showing late payment notices. They have also violated my consumer rights under the FCRA, 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.
