Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NC)

Back in XX/XX/XXXX, some XXXX stole my identity, and wiped me out of saving, and checking, and even contacted my job requesting a change of direct deposit.That 's how i caught it. I reported the ID theft to the FTC on XX/XX/XXXX. It was recommended that I freeze my credit, Which happened on XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the credit bureaus unfroze my acct, without telling me. Synchrony has gone out of their way, to crush me financially. Part of the ID theft was in Paypal/Synchrony , and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, quickly responded to the fraud alert and me contacting them to close the account. Paypal, however, has dragged their feet, has prevented me from paying my accounts, racking up huge fees, and interest, and now has closed all other Synchrony related accounts that I had. I get dozens of phone calls a day from them Paypal/Synchrony , where I'm just left of hold for hours with no resolution. I'm losing income due to them taking up all my time, when I should be working. Paypal tells me that I'm unable to prove who I am, on my own account, since someone changed the login info, password, and at some point phone number. Yet, they keep sending me the bills, harassing letters, and calls. They recently closed my Care Credit account which I rely on for medical and vet bills, which I pay religiously. As of XX/XX/XXXX, according to XXXX, and XXXX, I am not in collections. I don't know what to do to resolve this. 

This was the exact copy and past from my previous complaint, # XXXX. Here is the new information. Instead of Paypal/Synchrony trying to work with me, they have decided to sue me. They are using XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX NC. Fee 's and interest have not changed, nor can I get a person from Paypal/Synchrony to contact me through email, because my phone is off. The dozens of people I've spoken with, I've told to contact me through email, and they still don't listen. This is outrageous. What am I supposed to do? This debt is partially on them, they allowed someone else to use my account, and to change the information there, preventing me from being able to simply access my account. I want to pay my bill, for what I owe. It wont be a lump sum, it will be monthly, as I continue to get out of debt from some XXXX stealing my identity. 

I would think allowing me access to my accounts, to pay them down, would be a better option than suing me, but I guess big business would rather XXXX people than do whats right.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Bank of America charged off the account in XX/XX/XXXX and still pursued me in court. They filed an action against me in XXXX. When was eventually served in XXXX they had many hearing without my knowledge in XXXX. I was not successful in court for requesting sanctions against their egregious actions. I requested sanctions and for the judgment to be vacated. I was unsuccessful because at the last minute, Bank of America decided to drop their ability to collect monies owed. I brought to the court attention. The fraud Bank of America was committing and attained a stay on the writ of execution. So instead of moving forward during our hearing, they withdrew their complaint. I have wasted many days preparing for this only for them to say never mind. I believe what they did was illegal that they knew the account was charged off and still proceeded to take me to court knowing they had no Real reason to collect. It doesnt make sense why a financial institution will go as far as to collect A judgment and then drop it at the very last minute. 
I have the register of actions showing all the steps they took to be successful and yet When I show the court they were illegal. Bank of America back off. Had I not been better prepared and known my legal rights, Bank of America wouldve garnished my wages with a default judgment. This should be investigated because they tried to take advantage of a XXXX person. Im also a military veteran, so the fraud is also considered a felony.

I have had a citi|best buy credit card since XXXX. I would occasionally make purchases because of the attractive 0 % for 6 or 12 month option. In XXXX I received a credit to my account for approximately {$400.00} and when I called was told that this was a refund due to an issue with some form of debt protection service. I have been a XXXX  XXXX my entire adult life so my initial ( nave ) thought was that it mistakenly got put onto my account & that they recognized the error and corrected it. Today XX/XX/XXXX I was checking my balance and found that my balance had not decreased in the correct amount. After reviewing, I found that there was a consistent charge that has been applied for the last 5 months labeled " credit life insurance fee ''. 5 months is all that I can review, I have no idea how long this fee has actually been effecting my account. I have NEVER opted in for any add on 's such as credit life insurance, or payment protection of any kind. What Citi is doing Is pure FRAUD. Consumers need to beware this company will go to any extent to make dime. I contacted citi and they said that " they cancelled the coverage & will review my account for a refund '' They told me that I will either see the credit to my account or receive a mailer in 30 days. After researching online it appears that this is there typical response, I have not read one situation where they refunded the fraudulent fee 's. It is completely asinine that this company is still allowed to operate this is a complete scam.
