Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

( DETAILED DOCUMENT UPLOADED ) CFPB COMPLAINT SYNCHRONY XXXX XXXX BACKGROUND : I opened this account to replace carpet in my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX home. I made the purchase at XXXX, on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA where the salesperson directed me to obtain this account for financing. As it turned out, I am essentially renting this carpet for {$230.00} per month with no balance reduction on my credit account after 18 months of a perfect payment history payments towards 70 % of initial credit line. Something is clearly wrong here. 

I have two other Synchrony retail accounts with similar perfect payment histories and paid-in-full balances : 1 ) Care Credit, 2 ) Amazon Shopping Card. 

ISSUES : 1. My balance is not reducing from initial credit line of XXXX 2. I have made a total of {$4200.00} in monthly payments since account opening in XX/XX/XXXXwith a credit line of {$6500.00} ; yet balance reported {$6500.00} on XXXX, so no balance reduction recognition in 18 months. 
3. My XX/XX/XXXX minimum payment jumped 100 % to {$530.00}. 
4. I was charged {$1400.00} in usurious interest, retroactively! 
5. My credit line was reduced on a false accusation of late payments to {$6200.00}. 
6. Credit line reduction put me in an over-limit negative status forcing me to make additional payments to get it under the credit line. 
7. My credit line reduction forced my account to 100 % utilization negatively impacting my FICO credit scoring. 


PURCHASES XXXX  : {$3300.00} XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$330.00} XXXX {$1700.00} XX/XX/XXXX Total Purchases : {$6000.00} INTEREST CHARGES LUMP SUM HITS {$990.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$420.00} XX/XX/XXXX Total Retroactive Interest Charged : {$1400.00} PAYMENT HISTORY : Total Monthly Payments Made : {$4500.00} or 70 % of credit line repaid yet 100 % of initial credit line and account balance still owed,

My account with EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


XXXX USC XXXX ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EXPERIAN XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (FL)

I opened my Citibank checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. I get a direct deposit and I pay a bill every start of the month like clockwork, no changes in doing so in all these years. No problem with waiving a monthly fee for 4.5 years. 

Then on my XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX statement I get billed the fee of {$10.00} for 6 months until the fee increases to {$12.00} on my XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX Statement which continues for 31 months until my XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX Statement. 

Last two months the fee was waived for theXX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX Statements. 
That 's ( {$10.00} ) + ( {$12.00} ) = {$430.00} of fees that I should never have been charged. 

Every time I talk to Citibank I get the runaround & I get nonsense comments like to get it waived log in to your Citibank Online account and pay your bills through us. I use their Debit card monthly like I always have to pay bills & still get Direct Deposit to my account like I always did. Nothing changed on my end from the start. Obviously something its fishy on their end if I did n't get fees for first 4 and a half years & again these past 2 months. 
It 's a rip off plain and simple. They should thank me for bothering to stay for almost 8 years.

We went to bank to try and find out what happened and they told us not their problem. Someone was able to issue U.S. Bank visa debit cards with U.S. bank strangely having anything to do with it. A representative of U.S.Bank took card and destroyed card. I had the face number of the credit card that he did not ask for so I tried to report card as fraud but could not complete the form because we no longer had the card with the 3 digit code on back.We were not able to fully de- activate the card. 

XX/XX/XXXX He received a state unemployment 1099-G form saying he had received unemployment money in XXXX. He did not apply for unemployment and has been retired for 5 years, and received no unemployment money. He contacted the state regarding this to tell them. He is still waiting to hear back.

In essence someone stole his Social Security number opened up a U.S. Bank Relia Card and claimed unemployment on his social security number. What can he do other than freeze his credit and report to you. Please let me know.
