I had XXXX accounts with synchrony bank. I did not owe them any money. When I claimed bankruptcy, they automatically closed my XXXX accounts because my name was pulled from a database. I am trying to buy a home, now, and these XXXX accounts are showing up on my credit report erroneously. They show that they were filed under bankruptcy, which is totally untrue.

We had a XXXX XXXX walk away from us in the middle of a project. He asked for XXXX checks from us. XXXX in which I called XXXX XXXX to have cancelled - however they never cancelled the check and the fraudulant XXXX walked away with twice the amount of money he should have taken us for. I provided a customer service rep with the check number and the amount which needed to be cancelled. To my surprise a check for {$45.00} was cancelled instead of the check for {$7500.00} ( check number XXXX ). Since the following check to the fraudualnt XXXX was also cashed, I am at a loss of {$15000.00} instead of {$7500.00} due to harris bank not properly canceling the first check. When I spoke with Multiple layers of management, they told me there was nothing they could do because they claim I gave them the wrong check number. 
They should have never allowed the {$7500.00} to leave my bank account and should be liable for such a loss.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: ProCollect, Inc. (GA)

Company in question : ProCollect Inc, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX : ( XXXX ) XXXX I have been called continuously to provide credit/debit card information. I have been making payments through money orders and XXXX. This company had tried to collect a debt that I owe to an apartment complex. When first contacted about the debt by XXXX XXXX ext. XXXX, i was immediately asked to provide debit/credit card information to make payments on the amount owed. After I declined to provided said information, it was agreed upon that I would be able to make payments via money order or XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I sent a money order in the amount of {$100.00} dollars which they received and cashed. 
Nearly a week later, I was contacted by a different representative and asked again for credit or debit card information to make a payment. I again declined to provided that information for my next payment. On XXXX XXXX, I mailed in another payment for {$100.00} which was cashed on XXXX XXXX a week later, I was contacted again by XXXX XXXX asking for credit/debit card information and my next payment. XXXX XXXX alleges that they did not received the payment that was cashed on XXXX XXXX. I sent in proof of payment and asked her why I have note been receiving monthly statements of my owed balance after making payments. She simply brushed me off. In frustration, I asked if there was another way that I could provide payment without putting a card on file. XXXX XXXX and I agreed that sending a XXXX would suffice since they are affiliated. On the same day of our conversation ( XXXX XXXX ), I sent a XXXX with XXXX XXXX on the phone and verified the reference number for my payment. XXXX XXXX verified that the payment would be processed. Again, I asked her again about receiving a monthly statement in the mail. XXXX XXXX stated that they are not " obligated '' to provide me with a statement. A week later, I received yet another phone call from yet another representative again asking for credit/debit card information to provide payment. This representative even asked me to pay the balance in full during this call. Again in refused to put a card on file and ended the call. Ever since, I have been receiving phone calls XXXX times weekly asking for a credit card. I have never dealt with any debtor who refuses and declines my request for a monthly statement and refuse to send any more payments until I know that this is a legit and legal company collecting my payments.

Company: CMRE Financial Services, Inc. (CA)

Collector CMRE Financial Services and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Their practices of harassment and are met with antagonistic and unlawful procedures! Do n't go to XXXX XXXX Hospital as their billing practices are harassment and borderline unlawful. I went in for a covered procedure surgery with prior authorization. Even with Medi-CAL coverage they will pressure you to pay all before leaving. I have received a collection notice and called them and said I just spoke to Medi-CAL and they are processing the bill, and here is their contact information. Besides being met with an antagonist harassing person ( she said her name was XXXX ), she asked if the number I was calling from was my cell phone. Fearing a trick to acknowledge my number, I hesitated, but remembered I 'm on the " Do Not Call '' list and they cant call for collections as I have only a certain amount of minutes. She said she could n't go any further without my answer, and since I wanted them notified of the bill being processed, I confirmed. She then asked me if it was ok to call this number for collections. I said, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Within 1/2 hour of hanging up I 've been receiving multiple collection calls on this account! Sometimes using a different name ironically. Up to this point I have n't received XXXX call from any collection services. Ironic? .. or do they pass the number along so they can skirt the law. Besides the terrible billing practices of XXXX XXXX HOSPITAL, I would n't recommend ANYONE going there. This is an obvious collection svc for the XXXX department. The bill is not unpaid, as the billing is still going through Medi-CAL but that does n't stop the harassment by both XXXX XXXX Hospital and CMRE Financial Svc 's and XXXX XXXX XXXX!

Product: Prepaid card — Mobile wallet
Issue: Adding money — 
Company: Google Compare Credit Cards Inc. (WI)

Google Wallet is a service that allows you to make payments using any number of bank accounts or debit/credit cards. It allows you to add money to your " Wallet Card '' ( essentially a re-loadable XXXX XXXX by transferring money from your bank via ACH ( for free ) or by adding funds with a debit card ( for a fee of 2.9 % ). 

Here 's the problem. When I add money to my card via the free ACH route, the system tells me very clearly before I complete the transaction that the funds will be available in a few minutes. Once I 've completed the transaction, and check the status, it says the funds wo n't be available until a date 10 days in the future. Usually I 'm doing this in the checkout line at a store, and I 'm forced to add the money again with my debit card, costing me that 2.9 % fee. 

Now at this point, I 've had to pay somebody else to use my money. When I contact XXXX about it, they offer no help and their only solution is to use the debit card route ( which costs me money ). When I add the money via debit card, it comes out right away. But I 've already added money via ACH, which is going to come out on the next business day. So in this example, the money is taken out of my account TWICE, with a waiting period of up to 10 days to access the other half of it. 

Bottom line, I add money, it says it will be available within a few minutes. After I submit, it says it will not be available until several days in the future. Their service is lying and misrepresenting itself, and causing undue financial hardship. 

I have added XXXX screenshots. The first shows that when I go to add {$100.00}, it says the money will be available within a few minutes. The second was taken after submitting that {$100.00} transaction, showing that it wo n't be available until XXXX XXXX. The XXXX screenshots were taken less than a minute apart.

On or about XXXX XXXX, I begin monitoring my credit scores from TRANSUNION. My scores have continue to drop, with no justification for such a drastic drop. TRANSUNION is the only credit reporting agency that continuing reporting very poor credit scores. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received the lowest credit score ever reported. TRANSUNION continues to be non responsive to many disputed letters and even has been non responsive to a complaint submitted to Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. It has been noted that several creditors have reviewed credit scores received from TRANSUINION, resulting in several creditors denying approval on great credit rates. TRANSUNION continues to label me as a high risk or bad risk with no justification. Why is the system allowing TRANSUNION to continue to degrade me, why are creditors continuing to accept what TRANSUNION report as gospel. Why is the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau or the organization that oversees credit reporting agency 's actions allowing them to continue to report very poor /poor credit scores, without justification? The other credit reporting agencies have shown great improvements in my credit scores. 
Having reviewed latest credit reports I found that there is very little differences in what each agency is showing on credit reports.
