Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I purchased a vanity from XXXX XXXX on the credit card in XX/XX/2021. I ended up returning the vanity. I got billed a XXXX $ balance so I called to see what it was and they said I was charged a late fee and they would take it off. I was told my balance was XXXX XXXX The next month I was charged a late fee again. I called and they said it was a mistake and they would take it off. This continued to happen every month. In XXXX i closed the account in hopes the late fees would stop accruing but it didn't work. Every month I called and XXXX XXXX would tell me it was a mistake and they would take it off and the next month I would get charged a {$29.00} late fee. When I called in XXXX I was begging the representative to let me talk to someone that could help me because merely just removing it every month wasn't working. She finally figured out that every month I was charged a XXXX $ late fee I was also charged a {$2.00} interest fee that the other representatives were not removing. She promised me this would work. In XXXX i got a balance of {$25.00} which I was unsure of where that amount came from but it was low enough that I just paid it in frustration because I was tired of calling. That finally worked and I stopped getting fees. My credit score dropped over XXXX points over this and I disputed it online but nothing changed.

Consumer complaint received 2022-09-29

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

I applied for a Verizon Credit Card ( Synchrony Bank ) on XXXX ( Reference Number : XXXX ) and was denied with a claim that my credit was " frozen '' through the credit reporting agency, XXXX. The freeze had been lifted two days prior to the application. I called Synchrony Bank and was told to reapply so they could transfer me to the underwriting department to address the issue " real time '' and help expedite my application. I applied a second time on XXXX and was still denied based on applying too quickly between applications. The policy apparently requires that you wait 30 days before reapplying. After calling again on XXXX, I was told to wait on a letter with a reference number and call back so that the denial issue could be addressed at that time. I received my first and only letter on XXXX ( Reference Number : XXXX ) which was based on the second application. The reason for denial on that letter was : " Prior application submitted too recently ''. I called Synchrony Bank again on XXXX and spoke with a fraud department manager who instructed me to apply again while we were on the line and she would be able to help process application immediately. After being put on hold for several minutes, she then instructed me that I would need to wait another month ( until XXXX ) before reapplying since it had not been 30 days since the last application. She thought that an override of the waiting period could be made on her part but was clearly not the case. This is the most frustrating credit card application process I have ever dealt with. Also, I am very unhappy that my credit score was " dinged '' three times without being approved and if I apply again at the end of XXXX it would be a total of four times. The manager assured me she would remove the credit reporting " dings '' and would like to verify this has in fact been accomplished. I am a brand new Verizon customer and simply want to use the Verizon credit card to pay my bill each month ( instead of my checking account ) so that points can be earned. My credit score is in the 800s and I pay all my credit cards on autopay each month in full. It definitely should not be this difficult to apply and achieve a credit card approval through this bank. Very disappointing and frustrating to say the least.
