Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: DISCOVER BANK (PA)

On XXXX/XXXX/16 my Discover Card was charged {$47.00}, without my approval, for a subscription to a mobile application. Withstanding the charge not being authorized, the subscription for which I was charged was not credited or applied to any account or mobile device in which I possess. That is to say, no benefit was received. 

After contacting the Merchant directly, and finding them unable to assist ( due to incompetence or failure to understand the issue ), I issued I charge-back with Discover Card ( case number XXXX ). When the Merchant responded with information ( see Appendix A ) that was blatantly contradictory to my previous communications with them ( see Appendix B ), I notified Discover via writing of this fact ( see Appendix C ). 

Despite the clear and evident failure of the merchant to faithfully represent the nature of the charge, and my clear an unequivocal statement that no benefit was received, Discover Card denied my dispute despite their promise of a " XXXX-liability Guarantee '' ( see Appendix D ). 

After a review of the documents in which Discover attached to the case, it became apparent to me that Discover Card deliberately and systematically censored all relevant information pursuant to my appeal. That is, they blacked out relevant dates, and other information in the appeal I submitted, which clearly highlighted inconsistencies in the Merchant 's claim. This action undoubtedly led to the improper denial of my dispute. ( See pages XXXX of this letter ; Appendix C. ) Unfortunately, in this case Discover Card has acted in a manner which is inconsistent with its promise to deliver top-notch customer service, and XXXX-liability for fraudulent transactions. In denying my appeal Discover chose to censor and suppress contradictory information rather than evaluate it in accordance with the Cardholder Agreement. 

For this reason, I consider Discover Card to be in breach of its obligations for which it is bound, and to be acting in a manner illustrative of disregard of its obligations. It behooves me to think of all the similar claims Discover suppressed in the spirit of appealing to Merchants as opposed to seeking a just resolution.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

My account with TRANSUNION 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 reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

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!

15 USC 1666b ( 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 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

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

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Navient really needs to be looked into. I was with XXXX until XXXX sold the loans to Navient. Never did XXXX charge me any late fees for being less than a month late.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MA)

This is now the third time in the past year that either my husband or myself has n't been able to get our free annual credit report on-line. This time, it was the Equifax report -- their web site says " We 're sorry, for your protection we are unable to deliver an Equifax Free Annual Credit Report over the Internet '' and I have to do it by postal mail. That 's a huge amount of additional work, plus some expense -- and there 's no explanation what-so-ever of why I could n't get it online. Each time we 've gotten that message in the past, once we finally got the report, we checked it carefully, and found no errors which might explain why the on-line request failed. So now I 'm told I have to go through that process all over again to get my report. There should be some way to find out why the on-line request is failing, so it can be fixed. ( I 'm beginning to wonder if they make it fail, so they do n't need to supply the report at all -- I 'm sure thatmany people, when faced with what needs to be done to get it mailed, just give up. )

Quite a few of these accounts have XXXX balance or very low balances. I began experiencing problems with Synchrony around 1.5 years ago. I began seeing late fees of $ XXXX {$38.00} appear on my statements. After numerous attempts to contact a live person w/Synchrony, I was rudely spoken to, was told my bank ( XXXX ) did n't release my automatic bill pay in time for them to receive before the due date!!! I have worked closely with XXXX to insure all of my credit card payments were released, as stated in my bill pay. This deceptive/unethical manner of tacking on fees is just not right. I confirmed with XXXX on every occasion of these fees added on my each month 's bill, that payment on my credit cards had been sent to Synchrony, as stated on my bill pay each month. How can this bank continue to conduct such a deceptive manner of placing these fees on statements every month? Consumers are just spinning their wheels each month, by trying to rise above these hidden/false/excesive charges on our statements. I 've tried to call within the last three weeks and getting a live person with Synchrony is impossible. But ... I 'm receiving no less than XXXX telephone calls from 'UNKNOWN ', but no one is there, when I answer!!! I just do n't know what to do to correct this nightmare. It 's interesting that I 've had these credit cards for YEARS and only recently have I been been experiencing late payments, fees, endless telephone calls beginning @ XXXX - XXXX.

I put a freeze on my credit report in 2009 & received a letter & pin number. Today I asked to lift the freeze and found out that I can not because Equifax ( and only Equifax ) has a middle initial of " XXXX '' in my name vs just a " XXXX ''. Equifax said I must send proof of my name and address in order to correct their mistake. I have a letter from Equifax dated in 2009 & that letter does not have the incorrect middle initial. Also, when I tried to use the online system at Equifax the system ca n't even hold XXXX middle initials. They agreed to process a lift of the freeze but that takes 5 business days & they notify me by mail. The other XXXX bureaus processed the lift immediately & sent an email response. Equifax needs to research their errors & not put the burden on the consumer. Equifax is holding up the checking of my credit standing for 5 business days plus the mailing time since they respond only by mail.
