Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

I have received a bill now a collection notice, robo phone calls 7 days a week all day, all night, Holidays from Synchrony that I owe for something that I never ever received a copy of or anything from them except a bill and phone calls. They call my business, hang up when they get my message, it is sad. They are saying that I owe them for an air conditioner, one that is brand new made by XXXX, and installed partially by XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX. The air conditioner is broke, it broke 2 times and the second time it just ran air in side. It is not installed properly and it has no air filter. NO AIR FILTER. That a brand new unit breaks two times, I contacted XXXX, They just passed me on to another person another person and so on for 3 and a half months. When the air conditioner they partially installed broke for the XXXX time and was just blowing air HOT AIR. I turned it off. I am still baffled to why Synchrony is calling me and now saying they are turning this over to a collection agency. I never signed anything nor was I given any notice by XXXX that I owe this company anything. AND the air conditioner is off It is Florida and it is HOT and I HAVE NO AIR and XXXX XXXX know it. Who is this robo caller? Never heard from XXXX to install filter, fix the air conditioner, they even left the outside panel off, laying on the cement, and I found it and taped it because it RAINED the next day. So nasty they do n't even call me to fix anything. XXXX is sad, not sure why they think this collection is due that they fabricated ... ..

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (WA)

XXXX 's client, XXXX XXXX XXXX is an identity theft victim. Several credit accounts were established and attempted using his information without his consent. Once of these accounts was attempted with Barclay 's Bank Delaware. The attempt left an inquiry on his credit report that is related to the fraudulent activity. A dispute was sent by this office on behalf of our client to Barclay 's Bank twice in an effort to remove the inquiry as fraud related as outlined in the FCRA. Both times Barclays Bank has denied removal of the data stating the factor in keeping the inquiry listed is an email address that is not even correct for the client. I have explained to Barclay 's bank that per the FCRA a police report was provided indicting this attempt was fraud related however Barclay 's Bank is continuing to violate the FCRA.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

The bureaus are reporting a loan with XXXX XXXX as having a balance. It is paid in full. I purchased furniture on lease and paid the first lease off. I then got approved for {$1200.00} instead of {$800.00} like the first time. Once I got approved for the {$1200.00} I paid that off as well and for some reason it is still showing a balance of $ XXXX dollars and it's been over 90 days since they reported and I paid both accounts before they ever showed up on my credit report. I have attached the dashboard showing both loans paid cash. I have attached each loan info separately showing paid cash and I have attached both leasing agreements.

Company: Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC (MD)

I settled an account with XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, they still sold my account to Pinnacle Credit Solutions and Pinnacle has been reporting it to the credit bureaus since then. I have disputed this account every year when I review my credit reports but never really followed up with why it was n't dropping off. This year I 'm purchasing a home and looking into everything on my credit reports and getting little to no assistance from either company. In XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX purchased my account back from Pinnacle after they realized it had already been settled and sent Pinnacle and the credit bureaus deletion letters to have the account deleted from my credit report. Pinnacle continues to report my account even though they do n't own it. How is that allowed? When I do call Pinnacle, they are very rude and insist on transferring my call to a subsidiary company that manages the account, XXXX XXXX. XXXX says that according to their records my account was paid on XXXX XXXX, XXXX which is still inaccurate information. However, they maintain that they made Pinnacle aware of the payoff and that Pinnacle should 've ceased reporting the account at that time ; almost 2 years ago. So even though Pinnacle does n't own the account and their management company says the account was paid, they continue to report this to the credit bureaus even as late as XXXX XXXX, XXXX and nobody seems to care to do anything about it at all.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (MO)

During a period of extreme financial hardship, I fell behind on my Barclay Card ( LL Bean Visa ) but called and was told that I could " re-age '' the debt by making 3 monthly payments starting XXXX XXXX, 2015. I was unsure if I would be able to until the day before. Unfortunately XX/XX/XXXX was a Sunday. Though their website says customer service is available XXXX, if you 're in collections once you enter your personal info your call is automatically rerouted to collections and no one is available on weekends. I made the payment in good faith on their website and contacted them by email regarding the situation. I called the next day and explained to the service rep what had happened, explaining that the original rep should have noticed that the due date was a Sunday and given me an alternate date, and he assured me that the payment would be honored towards the " re-age. '' But it was not. Shortly thereafter I received a debt collection notice. I called and was told it was too late to re-age but they would wave the late fees if I could catch up with XXXX payments by XXXX XXXX. It was difficult but I managed to make the payments, with the final XXXX being on XXXX XXXX, 2015, on the phone with a customer rep. She assured me my account was now back in good standing. However, when I checked my account on their website a few days later I found that I was charged a late fee on that payment. I called again and got the fee removed, but 2-1/2 weeks later their website shows that not only do I still owe the late fee, but also the original overdue amount. To top it off, this XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) we got a collections call. I called my same service rep and told her what was going on. The issues did not appear on her computer, but he swore she would personally contact both collections and IT. However, I just got another collections call. I cleaned up my act and I think it 's only fair they they do likewise.

I made an arrangement with gold acceptance to pay them on XXXX XXXX. They claim I never made an attempt I 've been paying on this car for almost two years ( by the wayway ). My family was at the park and they repoed my car two days before I told them I would pay them. Now they keep throwing different numbers at me to pay them back. First they say XXXX then they say XXXX then they said XXXX they keep calling me as if they are trying to help. I tell them how do I know that they will give me the car back they say everything is recorded. Well if that 's the case why was n't my arrangement recorded. This company is a scam. Not only did they take my car unlawfully but they called the police as well.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (IL)

I received a shortage coupon from my mortgage company XXXX that I could choose to pay the full amount ( due by XXXX XXXX ) or have it dispersed over a 12 month period. In XXXX my mortgage was sold to Specialized Loan Servicing. On XXXX XXXX I sent a check to my new mortgage company for the full amount of the shortage of {$990.00}. I included the payment coupon and the new loan number. My check was cashed a few days later from Specialized Loan Servicing. 

I went online to check the status and to make my XXXX payment. To my disbelief my loan was misapplied and not put towards my shortage. I called Specialized Loan to find out what happened. I spoke to someone ( did n't get their name ) and was told since I was one payment behind they applied that money towards that and put the rest in escrow because that was their policy. I was fuming and in disbelief. I paid the full shortage amount in good faith to keep my payment down. So NOW I have to make the shortage payment over the 12 months plus my mortgage payment. This is an extra {$140.00} a month on top of my regular mortgage. 

I feel like I should have gotten a phone call, especially of the fact that I was switched from XXXX in XXXX. I never received a call or anything in the mail. My payment was for my shortage NOT for my mortgage payment. 

I feel like I just tossed almost XXXX in the fireplace and now I have to come up with extra each month. I am a XXXX single parent and scraped together the money to be able to avoid the monthly increase. 

I am so unhappy with this new company and their decision to choose what to do with MY money.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I have requested online my credit reports from the XXXX bureaus for myself and my wife on XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I received a message for Experian XXXX that they could not provide my credit report due to technical difficulties. For my wife, I received a similar message from Experian. I went back three days later to pull the missing reports again and was told that I was not eligible to receive the reports since I already requested them. I then wrote to XXXX, who then sent me a letter stating that they could not help me and I had to take up the issue individually with each bureau. They only provided mailing addresses, no phone number, or email. The credit bureaus ' websites also did not provide any contact information besides mailing addresses. It is very costly for consumers to have to deal separately with each credit bureau in order to get the reports that they are due by law. 
In addition, I have been trying to verify the credit freeze status of our reports and this has proven impossible. We have had freezes put on our reports in the past for security purposes, but these have been lifted temporarily when we were getting a mortgage and I wanted to verify that they are in place. As far as I can tell, the only way to be sure that our reports are frozen is to pay to refreeze them and that just seems plain wrong. 
On a more general note, it is disturbing that there are these credit bureaus out there that amass information about me, whose information provision has a substantial impact on my financial life, yet who make it tremendously difficult for me to actually contact them or communicate with them.

XXXX claims that I owe them because their equipment was not returned but in fact, it was returned using their packaging and their shipping label two days after they delivered the return box and label to me. XXXX support would not provide any assistance on verification of the receipt of the returned equipment. They would not provide information on how I could contact the recipient of the equipment to follow up on its status. Their absolute refusal to provide information about the recipient of the returned equipment seems disingenuous and the subsequent collection program seems like a scam to try to collect money that 's not owed to them.

My mortgage servicing was switched from XXXX XXXX XXXX to SunTrust Mortgage. I have received XXXX letters explaining this and how to set up an online account with SunTrust in order to pay my mortgage and that I can and must do so after XXXX XXXX. However I got a error notice every time I tried to set up the account. I have now made 3 phone calls to SunTrust trying to figure what is wrong and keep getting different explanations such as we do n't support Mac computers ; our website only works on Internet Explorer ; our website will work on Chrome but you have the wrong version ; you ca n't set up an online account until after XXXX XXXX, 2016. Each time I questioned the incorrect information, I was put on hold, or chastised by the customer service agent for suggesting that it might just not be " my fault '' that it 's not working, or told to stop yelling ( which I was n't ) or told to NOT do something else that I was n't doing or simply put on eternal hold. I just want to set up automatic payments and pay my mortgage and do n't understand why SunTrust ca n't produce accurate instructions and polite customer service agents who are well trained enough to figure out when it might just not be the customer 's fault.
