Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (PA)

Synchrony Bank is charging me {$1000.00} for services that I did not receive and can not provide an itemized bill of what the charges are for the account that I opened on behalf of the XXXX XXXX XXXX company, scam artists. 
I prepaid the XXXX company {$2000.00}. For which {$1000.00} was for a consultation and when My original funding plan fell through, the scam started, the dental choice representative suggested that i request a line of credit through Synchrony Bank, for which i was approved for {$18000.00} she suggested that i pay an {$1000.00} then with the {$18000.00} that the bank pre-approved me for I would be at {$20000.00} then i could schedule my XXXX and we would worry about the other XXXX that would be due in two years. When I was prematurely billed in XXXX for services that werent scheduled to be rendered until XX/XX/year> I canceled the XXXX. I canceled because I couldnt afford it. Outside of the consultation, which I paid {$1000.00} for I did not receive any services from the dental provider. I refuse to pay for services that I did not receive. This is big corporate XXXX getting over on the poor people of XXXX and its absolutely ridiculous that I had to go to XXXX to get my dental work at an affordable rate. Its even more ridiculous that this company is trying to get away with it and affect my credit. In the meantime no one can provide me with an itemized bill for what these charges are for.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (PA)

I have several specialty credit card accounts through Synchrony Bank. These cards have promotional ( promo ) payback plans which have defered interest. The problem is in how payments are allocated to these promotional plans. All of the offered allocation methods seem designed to not make sufficient payment to the promo plans. Of the XXXX options all seem to apply any payment that is more than the minimum payment to non-promo purchases. So if you use the card for " regular '' purchases most of your payment will not be applied to the promo plans except in the last XXXX months of the promo period. This seems to make it more likely you would end up paying the total deferred interest accumulated on those plans.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

This company has outdated systems that misinform the consumer of what their account balances actually are as well as kick payments back with no reason why. Ive gone into the bank on serval occasions to be told someone would contact me and no one never will. Ive looked online and this is an ongoing problem with this institution.This banks makes it next to impossible to service accounts within their bank. I have all these improprieties documented. 
1. When you login to pay your bill the companys system states no payment is due making you think its already been paid in hopes of collecting late fees.

2.You schedule auto pay and get a confirmation page stating its confirmed the company doesnt take the auto pay out. Ive made 3 payments in one month because of this companies lack of up to date abilities.

3. This may not be illegal but it is certainly not good customer service. When you setup autopay You are only able to pay the minimum payment or the entire balance payoff. This is a reckless banking institution and because of their callous actions my credit has been ruined for a {$10.00} payment they said was already paid. And failed to correct the problem after they were informed of it.

Coinbase have a strict rule against cryptocurrency that comes from gambling sites, TOS aside they can not remove what is my personal investment, however they did take them, delete my account and then claim the funds never existed, even after I'd provided them with proof of said claim. 

On the XXXX XX/XX/ 2024 I had withdrawn my winnings from the XXXX XXXX to Coinbase, the second the XXXX crypto transaction, XXXX, had reached Coinbase I'd received an email stating that my account was being suspended due to 'suspicious activity & breaking the TOS ' but just below this email there was a button attached that said 'Recover your funds ', straight forward I'd thought, tough but fair, however when I'd logged in to recover my funds I was shocked to find that my account had been permanently deleted, alongside the funds within my account. No issue, I'll contact Coinbase support, or so I thought, I was promised a wait time of no longer than 4 weeks, there was no rush, I could wait ; however after 4 and a bit weeks I was shocked to find that I'd still had no response, so I followed up, to be told to wait again, when I'd took to their XXXX with the same issue, I was once again informed that I'd to wait. I've now been waiting a little over 7 months with no response other than them stating that this transaction never took place.

I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.
