Consumer complaint received 2016-03-23
Product: Credit card — 
Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NJ)

I was completely duped by Synchrony Financial ( www.synchronyfinancial.com ; XXXX : SYF ) which was spun out from GE ( XXXX ). This company claims its roots in helping American 's purchase GE appliances in the Great Depression. What a joke! 

The story is that I purchased some sports equipment ( {$7500.00} ) for my rehabilitation from XXXX XXXX using what I understood to be a 0 % finance credit account for 18 months after which point I would then start to incur finance charges ( if not paid in full ). That 's perfectly acceptable to me, but XXXX things happened, ( 1 ) They charged me for all past interest on the card ( {$2600.00} ), and ( 2 ) the interest charge was a mind boggling 29.99 % APR. Outrageous! The sales person advertising the option at the time, sold it as why not take the credit, its basically free and then you just pay it off. I was shocked that such a thing could actually happen. 

Talking to their customer service of course be me online with call center in XXXX speaking with people that could only manage to recite company script. Given the accuracy and eloquence of the description I 'm quite sure that they have it printed out as part of the call center representative training. I think this really vilifies Synchrony, i.e. as a call center representative going to get numerous calls from angry people when we nail them with the steal their money interest charge, here 's what your read to them. 

I 'm sure they covered themselves in fine print legalese or perhaps it was lost in translation when GE spun out Synchrony, but I never received a call or any formal written notice that I was about to be charged nearly XXXX % of the amount I borrowed. One would think that your about to be charge {$2600.00} warrants at least a call to the home or a written notice. 

I basically assumed since I was then dealing with GE ( at the time ) that I was dealing with a company with 100+ years of integrity and strong reputation. Bad Assumption. It is the modern era, so I set up auto-pay to insure timely payment of my debt and I also set up paperless statements to be a good planet citizen. My bad. 

I 'm disgusted more with myself at being fooled, than with Synchrony who obviously know how to play the game in taking advantage of people. 

I filed this complaint to maybe help others from being fooled by Synchrony. 

They win again, buyer beware.

Company: Account Management Resources (OK)

I got to know about this account after I checked my credit report. I immediately contacted them about this and I was told my health insurance did not pay the hospital so my account was placed with them for collection. I told the agent that I did n't receive any mail from her office about this debt. I informed the agent that I will go ahead and settle this debt in full so that the account will be deleted off my credit reports and also since i did not receive any notice of debt verification and also it is not my fault for not settling this debt on time. The agent agreed to file for account deletion after payment but the account is still listed on my credit reports.

Company: Works & Lentz of Tulsa, Inc. (NM)

This company states that I owe a Medical debt for XXXX during the month of XXXX XXXX. I did not receive any medical services that would require XXXX in XXXX XXXX, or XXXX. They state they sent statements several times to my Oklahoma address, which they did not. I have asked their lawyer by mail to furnish me proof of this debt. He has not. I sent their company a letter asking for proof as well, their address was included in a letter from their lawyer, they did not provide me with any proof of debt or any response at all. 
I am a respectful, professional medical person myself. I pay my debts. I do not owe this debt. They have not provided me with any kind of proof that I do owe the debt, despite requesting the proof, multiple times. 
I appreciate your assistance.

I disputed the balance of auto loan with TransUnion. The other XXXX credit agency 's have the correct information in their records that I paid off my {$30000.00} auto loan over two months ago. A man in XXXX for TransUnion says they will not take any action to correct their records. He asked me to send him a copy of my vehicle title, instead of them contacting the loan company to confirm. What?! Send him a copy of my title ... I do n't think so! This is not right people! Their reporting is extremely slow and lacking in proper customer service skills.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

Transunion continues to report 1 inaccurate late pay of my student loan account on my credit file that stats 90-120 days late. They are overlooking that it was not a late pay as my account was in FORBEARANCE from XXXX with my credit furnisher. Further more the FCRA State that they must report my account accurately. The FTC also states that under the FCRA laws is must report to accurate information regardless of the fact that it was reported correctly before. SEC. 464 of the HEA ( Higher Education ACT ) states that information must be corrected to reportedly accurately because my account was in forbearance within the period that is showing a late pay. NO PAYMENT WAS DUE THEREFORE ENSURING THAT MY ACCOUNT WAS NEVER LATE. I was in forbearance and my account has been current from then on. It must be changed immediately as it is negatively affecting my credit report. I have talked to both the CRA and the furnisher and they seem to point the finger at one another and I need this to be deleted immediately or i will be forced to take Transunion to small claims court for unspecified damages because they are inaccurately reporting on my credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

It is important to note, my loan officer company is   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX  is a different firm managing my loan payments.
I have received in mid  XX/XX/XXXX  attached statement "  XXXX  '' from loan officer su.
In this statement it was clear that my next payment date is XX/XX/XXXX and new monthly is  XXXX .
In addition, in that statement, you can see actual payment on   XXXX   as accounted for and it clearly stated that i overpayed the year of  XXXX  and it included a check of  XXXX  $ made to me to pay for the surplus i paid.
I was preparing to make my  XXXX  payment as usual. but after this letter, i checked  XXXX  website and deducted no payment is required.
No emails nor phone calls nor mails were received from neither firms until   XXXX   XXXX  etter attached which was received in XX/XX/XXXX  stating that i was actually late.
Before i even knew, I went to   XXXX    lat e  XXXX  to pay for   XXXX   and realized the issue and paid for both  XXXX  and  XXXX .
that day spent hours on   XXXX   XXXX  , i tried processing my payment but it wasnt going thru. There was a total issue occurring.after painful experience, i 've figured i need to process two separate payments for each month and together it was failing since monthly amount itself have changed.
Overall, Both companies failed to notify me on timely fashion and provided contradicting information. Both promised to remove from credit report and that it will be repaired once misunderstanding has been cleared.
However, 6 months later and after very horrible experience and 6 month of emails with loancare.com i stil havent been able to remove it from my credit report. i was reported as 30 day late and now PMI will not be removed because of this mistake.
This company been redirecting me from one department to another and today i was redirected to a fake email  XXXX  They damage my credit for no reason without proper notification. they 're interface now spams me with multiple pop-ups and i have to click 6 times to confirm to just see my statements. They are aware of the issue and claim they are working on a fix. this has been going on more then 6 month.
despite the reasonable case that ive made and many messages and followup and even after i paid fees and over 6 month of trying to get response with no luck, the creditor is acting unreasonably '' by not removing the 30day late payment even when they agreed to and Loan officer already agreed to remove since they have sent the confusing statement and never clarified.
I wasted my time for half a year now, and i hope similar companies can be stopped from consumer harassment such as my case above and held them accountable for what they are doing.
Regards,   XXXX   XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CO)

I sent this letter to Trans Union on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and nothing has happened.These collections still remain on Trans unions report but the other agencies have declined them.Per the Colorado State statute " at that time '' violations had to be " personally '' served to you. Service by mail was not applicable so Therefor no service no collection. Colorado statute 42-4-110.5 I maintain that I do not owe these collections and the other credit agencies agree. I would like Trans Union to remove these collections from there report as they are damaging a otherwise perfect credit score. 



Trans Union XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Re : XXXX/City of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Co. XXXX XXXX Tickets : - XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX I originally disputed this collection with you on XX/XX/XXXX. Since it has been supposedly investigated by you 3 times. I believe your investigation process is inadequate and on each time the The City of XXXX, Co simply states that I owe the debt but they and you will not provide me with the date of service. Per letter of XX/XX/XXXX I have to be personally served. That does not include being mailed a copy. If I am not personally served with in 90 days of the supposed infraction the ticket has to be dismissed. I have asked Trans Union numerous times to provide proof of personal service, the date served and or mailed, and served by whom. I would need copies of that. Trans Union simply asks if the debt exists but not if it is valid. 
The City of XXXX Co. has obtained a judgment against me in all XXXX of these tickets because I refused to go to their courtroom to discuss citations that had already exceeded the 90 day rule. At that time the tickets where null and void and there should be nothing to discuss. I never responded to any correspondence and they have no proof that I received any correspondence. 
# 1- I am again asking that Trans Union remove all XXXX of these collections from my credit report. If they initiate another investigation I am wanting the proof of service supplied to me so the debt can be validated or not. 
# 2- I am requesting that Trans Union indicate on my credit that I am disputing all XXXX of these collections. That is my right as a consumer. 
Thank You

I was attempting to contact the lender so that I can end the revolving loan and make an arrangement to pay the balance. I have already made 3 payments to them and it has not done anything to change that amount due on the loan. I am wishing to close this loan and make a more reasonable payment schedule so that I can get out of this financial burden. When I finally got in touch with a representative they we 're not willing to hear me out or discuss options so that I can pay off the loan without needing to get another. This is the first time I used a service such as this and I vow to never do it again. All I want to do is close the loan and pay back what I borrowed in a way that is affordable to me. Also the loan documents are dated to show I refinanced on XXXX XXXX 2016, when it actually occurred on XXXX XXXX, 2016.
