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

Complaint:
In XXXX I contacted XXXX to help enroll me into the Financial Relief Program. Originally I was approved and they were going to set me up on a 12 month plan for reduced payments and I agreed. They said my account would be updated and I would see the lowered payment and begin in XXXX. That never happened and my account went past due. I called about XXXX times over the last month and I either was hung up on or the call mysteriously was dropped. I never received a call back and when I escalated the situation I finally got someone who let me know their was a technical issue on XXXX 's side. I had them agree on a recorded line they would not submit me to a credit agency or negatively affect my account while the issue is being resolved. They agreed on a recorded line and made notes according to the agent. Today XX/XX/21 I recieved notification from my credit reporting tool that negative info was placed by XXXX. I always let XXXX know I needed temproray help and this reduced payment could and would be made if they allowed. They never did. I also let them know after I lost my job, I had retained employement and would be able to get back to paying the card as before and cleaing the balance monthly as required by terms and agreement. XXXX has created this issue and provided no support and then submitted the past due that was created by their issue after agreeing on a recorded line they would not. I am now employed and will pay the card off but need XXXX to remove the info as agreed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
Trans Union is allowing my student loan creditors to report multiple periods of late payments for student loan accounts that were placed in forbearance retroactively, but were never updated to CRAs as required by The Fair Credit Report Act Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ).
The US Department of Education states that retroactive forbearance acknowledges a period where no payments are due. Therefore negative credit history must be removed/updated. This duty to update extends to all student loan accounts reported to CRAs, regardless of whether they were accurate at one point. The Fair Credit Report Act Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) requires that the furnisher both update and correct information submitted to the CRA. Credit report are to be updated to reflect a forbearance status for the months indicated below. XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX ( 8 accounts ) : Placed in forbearance on XX/XX/XXXX and retroactively backdated to cover the past due month of XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
on XX/XX/2022 I bought a gas grill from Lowes XXXX XXXX Ohio store and worked with the store Mgr. named XXXX. The grill was assembled by Lowes and I charged this purchase on my Lowes credit card by Synchrony Credit Card ending in # XXXX. Lowes delivered the gas grill at our home on XX/XX/XXXX. The assembly was defective since the front door on the grill does not stay closed and swings open and cut my leg on the sharp edge of the door. We called and talked with XXXX Store Mgr on XX/XX/XXXX and he would send someone out to fix the defective door. No one showed up for the appt. We called and talked with XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and he told us he would send someone out to pick up the grill and send us a replacement the week after XX/XX/XXXX. No one showed up again. We called and talked with the Lowes credit card person the first week of XXXX but the credit card company refused to allow us to file a Dispute per Regulation Z of the Fair Credit Act. We called again on XX/XX/XXXX to Lowes credit card and the Dispute person did take our Dispute and told us we would get a letter confirming our credit card dispute within one week from them and they would pass the dispute onto Lowes the merchant. We never have recieved the Dispute letter or had Lowes replace our defective gas grill. Clearly Lowes and Synchrony Credit Card do not adhere to the Fair Credit Act and purposely lie to consumers about their credit card purchase Dispute process. We want the credit on our card processed immediately by Lowes and GE Capital Bank or a new gas grill.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
I am trying to work out a repayment program for my Capital One XXXX credit card for the past 2 years. They have refused to help. I have XXXX other credit card and store credit card accounts that have given me repayment programs, and I am making excellent progress with all of them. Typically these programs reduce or eliminate interest fees and a fixed monthly payment is made until the balance is paid in full within 60 months. Capital One refuses to help me with this account. Finally last Fall, they told me if I contacted a credit counseling agency that they gave me the contact information for, they would work with them to create a program. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX, the contact that Capital One had given me. XXXX XXXX XXXX said they could establish a program for me with Capital One. I paid the setup fee and began making monthly payments to them so they could pay Capital One on my behalf. But Capital One rejected XXXX consecutive months of proposals from XXXX XXXX XXXX to establish a repayment program for me. Finally XXXX XXXX XXXX set up a conference call with them, me, and Capital One. We talked to XXXX different Capital One agents in the course of about 90 minutes. However, all of them refused to establish a repayment program for me, even though I contacted the agency that Capital One had referred me to. At this point back in XXXX, I began filing a XXXX  complaint. A popup window told me that Capital One requested that customers filing a complaint contact them directly to try to resolve the problem. So I sent Capital One an email at the contact given. They have still refused to establish a repayment program, or to help in any way. I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they contacted CapitalOne. CapitalOne offered to skip a payment, however this only compounds the problem as interest still accrues and is why my balance on this card is higher than it was 2 years ago in spite of my not making any new charges and making over {$1000.00} in payments. Please help! Thanks!

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I lost my job. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I contacted American Educational Services and spoke with Representative ID XXXX and explained my situation, specifically that I had lost my job but wanted to see what I can do about my monthly payments. The representative stated I qualified for the MGRS repayment but was unable to give me specifics about the repayment plan, but indicated he would email me the information. I never received the email and contacted AES on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Spoke with Representative ID XXXX who informed me the previous representative already submitted the application but I do not qualify because I already have the MGRS plan in the past. She stated the only other option is if I left my account go 31 days past due and then get a modified repayment plan. I advised the representative that this is not acceptable as it will negatively impact my credit. I was then transferred to a supervisor, ID XXXX, who indicated again I do not qualify for anything and in fact if my account went delinquent and they did a temporary modified repayment plan, after three months it is more likely than not that my monthly payments would increase from the current monthly repayment. Therefore, being unemployed, I have no options to repay my {$260.00} a month loan other than defaulting, hurting my credit, getting a three month temporary repayment plan and then ending up with higher monthly repayments than I have now.
