Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (HI)

I called two times today to see about a credit card I ordered for a worker. I ordered the card about 2 weeks ago. 
I first talked with a XXXX ( I didn't get her name ), she said she is the wrong department and transferred me, where I was on hold for more than 10 minutes. I hung up. 
I called the number on the back of my card again ( XXXX ) and spoke with XXXX XXXX. The call lasted about 36 minutes and she could not help me. I asked to speak to her supervisor, she placed me on hold and I did not want to wait more than 3 minutes because I am working, so I hung up. 

The customer service skills, listening skills, and general attitude of not caring shown by XXXX XXXX makes it apparent to me that American Express does not care about its customers.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

payment history with this company and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MA)

This is regarding the Amazon Store Credit Card from Synchrony Bank. 

This card offers 5 % credit for all purchases from Amazon.com. However sometimes on check out you will see under 'Payment Method ' in small green writing the phrase : " 6 equal monthly payments '' This happens randomly and there is no way set Amazon defaults so the '6 equal monthly payments ' are not offered. If you continue with the purchase using the Synchrony card - ( and this is nowhere documented by Amazon or Synchrony ) -- you will not get the promised 5 % credit. 

Synchrony considers the '6 equal monthly payments ' a 'promotion ' and it doesn't apply the 5 % credit to such promotions. However I had no desire for ( nor did I ask for ) such promotions. I only discovered this when see the discrepancy between actual and expected 5 % credits. It was hard to track down -- as the promotion is not uniform. 

Synchrony offered no satisfaction or compensation when contacted via on-line chat. It was only during the chat that I discovered the reason for the missing 5 % cash back. 

Looking over my transactions with Synchrony -- I estimate that I've lost between {$50.00} and {$100.00} in 5 % credits due to Synchrony applying this unwanted 'promotion ' to Amazon.com purchases.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I ( XXXX XXXX XXXX have repeatedly attempted to communicate with and receive assistance from Equifax to no avail. I have made attempts through their multiple designated phone numbers and directly through their website to no avail. 

Currently, I need to place a fraud alert on my credit file but Equifax refuses to assist me. 

As previously documented, there is now an ongoing history of Equifax refusing to comply with their legally mandated requirements to assist me. 

Unfortunately, my data has been involved in more than one company data breach. I was just notified of the most recent data breach. Equifax is consistently the most difficult and now impossible credit bureau to interact with and attempt to receive assistance from. Their phone numbers essentially hang up on me. Their website does not allow me to receive the necessary assistance to implement a fraud alert. 

Equifax NEEDS to be held accountable.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored.
