Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IL)

I received alerts notifying me that there has been a data breach with a government entity that has my PI stored in their systems. I was urged to take action by reviewing all of my information to make sure there are no changes or anything unrecognizable on my accounts. I was also urged to change my information. This has happened twice already and when I reported the issue the first time after noticing some changes on my credit report, the issue had not been fixed. I tried placing a lock on my credit report but I discontinued with the payments which they then discontinued the service.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OR)

Chase offers a service called My Chase Plan that allows you to pay off a charge over time. They charge a monthly fee up front and once you commit to the plan it can not be canceled or paid off early without paying the full fee. I set up a 12 month plan for a dental expense I had charged XX/XX/XXXX for {$1200.00}. The fees were {$100.00} ( {$7.00} per month ). 

I had been paying off the interest savings balance each month and then one month I paid a little extra to cover new charges. They paid off the plan 7 months early instead of applying the payment to other charges. They claimed this is in their policy but this is not in any obvious place that I could find. Nor when I paid off the extra amount did it state it would go towards this plan. I expected it to go against new charges. I expected the plan to run for the full 12 months. Now if I don't pay off that amount from other charges I will also be charged interest.

I called and asked them to either reinstate the plan or reimburse me for the 7 months of charges for paying off my plan early. They refused to do either.

This My Chase Plan is deceiving to consumers and they should not be allowed to continue using it as is. They need to make sure that when payments go into a plan they are only paid as requested by the borrower. Not applying then payments whichever way they see fit. Please review their practices so other consumers are not scammed out of fees like me.

To whom this may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX and I'm the owner of a residential construction company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been working on repairing my credit for two years now, but still unable to receive loans due to faulty reporting from XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX. The agency are constantly reporting outdated information about my accounts and reacting to every negative change with large points deduction, but not the same for positive changes. Just last month my score dropped about 60 points because of my fault. I need to use my credit cards to keep my business going. By the end of the month I paid all of my bills down to about 10 % usage but because of that I was dropped again XXXX points from XXXX. My credit score last month was was at XXXX, but still unable to receive loans due to faulty reporting. As of today I have lost {$14000.00} in my business due to rental fees for a reliable vehicle. My previous truck transmission failed, so applied for a vehicle loan but my credit wasn't good enough. So I was forced to rent a XXXX from XXXX truck rental last XXXX at a rate of {$650.00} per week. As my credit score gone up I tried many different times to get a new or used vehicle to release me from the rental, because of old negative remarks on my credit and now new inquiries, I was unable to successfully secure a loan. This faulty reporting is causing me thousands of dollars that I need for my small business. It's not just stopping me from getting vehicle loans but also business loans because my business is three years old so my credit used for the loan. 
Please let me know what I need to give you to prove my case, I have proof of everything. This is got ta stop and really exhausting and unfair treatment. I really feel like I'm being discriminate against because I talk to a lot of people about my situation and I have XXXX XXXX but still no change. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX

In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX attempted to charge me almost be double for the XXXX XXXX XXXX I received. I only used {$600.00} on the card, but they ballooned the charges to {$1500.00} in XX/XX/XXXX, so instead of paying, I called to ask where did the other charges come from. In XX/XX/XXXX, I started back paying, but by XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed they did not take the other unauthorized charges off, so I stopped paying and ask them to settle this in court. 

Since XXXX they have reported this to Trans Union, XXXX, XXXX as a charge off. 
However when I tried to pay the actual amount owed on several different occasions by calling XXXX XXXX XXXX, they refused and stated the account was in collection. 
I called the collection agency, they said they sent it back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX stated there was nothing they can do, not even accept my payments of the actual amount owed instead of the bogus inflated charges trans Union, XXXX, and XXXX have been putting this on my credit report without my permission, even after several letters detailing the issue.
