Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
I just started receiving 2 to 3 calls a day from XXXX about a debt I supposedly owe from a pay day loan. The only information he gave me, after I verified my identity, was the name of the lender and the amount I took out - Check 'N Go. I asked if they could send me some documentation so I can verify the debt and the man refused - it seems like he was intentionally being vague and confusing and only said that he had to mark me as refusing to pay, and that I could contact the pay day loan lender myself. 
I called Check N Go and they have no record of my name or social # in their system, plus their offices in my state of TN are all closed so I don't know that the debt would even be valid. They advised me to just call the debt collector back. 
I called XXXX back and told the same man that and again asked if he could send me any information on the debt and he refused- he said 'they were reaching the statue of limitations and would take legal action ' and he had to mark me as refusing to pay. 
I told him I wasn't refusing, but I needed SOME, any piece of information to validate the debt. He did not even give me an account number. He spoke very harshly and fast and hung up on me after saying again that they would pursue legal action. 
The first phone call I received from them was in the month of XX/XX/2023 - today is XX/XX/XXXX. He said they mailed me documentation which is not true ; I have received NO paperwork on this. My phone number hasn't changed in 15 years and my address has not changed in 3 years. 
I am terrified to call them back and end up speaking with the same person because he will not give me any information.

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

Complaint:
According to the recent laws medical debt is not to be reported until its at least 365 days past due. 
The definition of medical debt is : Debt that arose from the receipt of XXXX XXXX, products or devices Because of the receipt of XXXX XXXX, devise and products described above I was forced to take a medical debt loan through XXXX XXXX which was sent to XXXX XXXX is aware that the loan was for the receipt of XXXX XXXX ( Medical Debt ) and is not 365 past due. 
They allowed a customer care agent to represent the company and close my XXXX  complaint and my dispute as being accurate when its actually not accurate at all. Because the medical debt is not past due it is not legally allowed to be reported on my credit report. I have a legal right to accurate credit report and the decision to put it on my credit report should not have been made by a customer care agent who is not familiar with the current medical debt laws

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NV
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I have a credit card with Ashley furniture/ synchrony bank . I have 2 purchases going on at the same time right now. One is no interest if paid by XX/XX/2023 and one is fixed apr until paid off. Every time I make a payment the wrong amount goes to the wrong purchase. I believe this is so that I end up paying interest on the purchase that is no interest if paid by XX/XX/2023. They keep putting my payments to the purchase that has interest when I specifically have called them multiple times telling them to allocate certain money to my 2 purchases. Customer service is horrible and I am told to do one thing and then later told that is not what I should be doing by different customer service representatives. I have also spoken with a manager by the name of XXXX from synchrony bank and all he did was apologize but not fix the situation at all. I am not happy and will never do business with Ashley furniture again due to this situation happening to me currently. It has caused me a lot of stress and anxiety financially.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have been trying for years to remove account number XXXX XXXX  XXXX off of my credit. I reached out to the company the refuse to remove the late payments on the account. I then ask for the company to send me my payment transactions. According to Credit acceptance file my first late transaction was XX/XX/XXXX which mean this should have been removed for my consumer report as of XXXX, but according to XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax my first late payment was in XXXX. I have reached out to all three Credit reporting agencies about this account and they all have been responding that the account is accurate and verified. I even request for each credit agency that stated these items were accurate to send me proof of their investigation for my dispute. According to 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. I have never received anything and I guarantee that they have not reached out to my neighbors, friends, family, or associates. This is why either of the three credit reporting agencies send me the documentation that I requested. Due to Credit acceptance not reporting accurately and XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax not doing a proper investigation according to the FCRA, I believe XXXX XXXX and all three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax ) deliberately tried harm me. Because of this I have been denied credit, charged high interest rates, and also suffered for a low credit score for 2 years longer than I should. I am a consumer and I have rights and these companies has violated most of them if not all. This is discrimination, defamation of my character, and I am sure much more once I reach out to a lawyer. I dont believe the consumer reporting agencies have my best interest and now they have proven that their companies are not trustworthy and have not been investigating disputes properly according to FCRA XXXX If this happened to me I can only imagine how many other consumers are affected by this. I am requesting that all late payments, collections, and hard inquiries to be removed immediately. I am attaching documents to prove my statement is accurate and intact is true.
