I could not find an option that matches my complaint but selected this option. I have a account with XXXX Synchrony Bank XXXX XXXX excellent payment history.They outsource their Customer Service/Billing Dept. to XXXX or Phillipines and half the time a customer can not understand what they are saying or they provide answer to question you did n't ask. It frustrates the customer that causes to agree to anything just to get help. A few months ago I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX and called XXXX Bank to XXXX XXXX and to get assistance with my account that would not affect my credit. They refused to assist with my account therefore I did n't have a choice but to allow the account to become past due. Although on the first call you tell them the financial hardship, they called me XXXX XXXX times a day asking for payment and telling the customer to borrow the money to pay them. I got so frustrated and stressed that I stop answering the phone. To harass the customer into borrowing money to make the payment, they started placing the same derogatory item on the customer 's credit report twice a month. Due to my identity had been compromised, I have a credit monitoring service. In the past 2 months, XXXX XXXX XXXX the same information on my credit report XXXX - 3 times in the month. I started questioning if that was legal. XXXX are the dates of everytime XXXX 's reported the same information as follows : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and continues the harassing calls. on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX 's Synchrony Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to get assistance with a payment arrangement for XXXX minutes where he told I can not help with your credit report, can you make the minimum payment and I was so frustrated until I told I would call customer service.
