Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (GA)

In XXXX XXXX I noticed a derogatory mark on my credit report made by Credit Collection Services in XXXX, MA.

When I called CCS to inquire, the rep informed me that XXXX sent the debt to them to collect in XXXX XXXX ; however, I paid this account off in XXXX. I originally made arrangements with XXXX ( who was initially assigned to the account by XXXX XXXX to pay off the account in XXXX payments. The XXXX payment was withdrawn from my account by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in the amount of {$120.00}. The XXXX payment did not come out on the agreed date so I called XXXX to find out when the final payment would be withdrawn and applied to the account. I was told that XXXX was going out of business and to contact XXXX directly to finish making the payments. The XXXX payment was withdrawn by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in the amount of {$130.00}.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

I just noticed that each month on the Care Credit card statement there is a charge of {$160.00} for XXXX XXXX. I asked the card company what this was and they said it was an optional service that was offered by another company. They gave me the telephone number to call. I spoke with a representative, XXXX, who said that this service was initiated when we first applied for the card and it was approved electronically. I requested that proof of this application for this service be supplied and she said she could not email it, that it will be mailed in XXXX business days. When I asked what we should do if we don't get it she said to call back and request again. I demanded that this service be immediately terminated as it was not authorized. She continued to say that it was a part of the application submitted. There is no way that we would have signed up for this and everything I have read shows that it is a deceptive practice imbedded in the application that many people fall prey to.

XXXX and XXXX both removed the incorrect data immediately. Experian has taken XXXX filings and XXXX months to still not remove the incorrect data from my credit report. I had to get XXXX involved to write numerous letters getting more and more detailed every time and Experian would still not update or remove the information. This has impacted my credit and cost me thousands with my attorney. Experian needs to be reprimanded and fined or pay me back the money lost trying to get this removed when its counterparts have done reputable business and even their reporting client asked me to file this complaint against them.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MD)

I am attempting to pay my Venmo credit card which is managed by XXXX. My checking account that was previously linked to the account mysteriously disappeared and I was unable to reconnect via XXXXXXXX XXXX verification and manual verification. I attempted this action several times between XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024. When unable to make a viable solution on my own, I reached out to Venmo via the app for technical support on the credit card XX/XX/2024. Through that medium I was informed to contact Venmo direct via phone at XXXX. 

I attempted a second time on XX/XX/2024 to resolve this issue by reaching out first to XXXX Venmo credit card line ; when they informed me they could not assist, I contacted the number provided above. The agents informed me that there was an error in their system but couldnt tell me what type of error or if theres a way to resolve it. The only thing I could do was use another payment method or try again later. When I elevated this issue to a supervisor, I was advised of the same thing. 

My primary bank account that has been linked to my Venmo has no fraud alerts or issues with payment in the past so to not be given a reason or way to resolve this matter is egregiously shortsighted. Without a resolution, I am unable to make a payment on my credit card which will impact my credit if not resolved. Furthermore, Venmo offers no way to contact tech support to see what is truly the problem with their system and why its performing errors on my account.
