Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: LJ Ross Associates (NY)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX to notify them concerns of about my meter being hacked and used as a shared meter. My utility bill was consistently 400 % higher than the average for the area. I reached out to XXXX to make them aware of the issue and asked them to look into the matter as shared meters in XXXX are illegal and I can not be held liable for the charges. XXXX never got back to me and I ended up moving out of the apartment and ending my service with XXXX. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX I was not in my unit AT ALL, yet received a utility bill for over {$700.00} during that time frame. I have evidence of not being in XXXX during that timeframe. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, LJ Ross Associates attempted to collect the debt from me via phone calls and letters. On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed my debt with LJ Ross Associates via a written letter sent with USPS secured mail. I never heard back from them on the matter. I provided documentation as to why I do not believe I owe the debt. They never called me about it again. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a major derogatory mark on my credit report from them for the same matter. I have not received 1 phone call or written letter from them since XXXX, over 2 years ago. They hit my credit report without contacting me at all. They have also not validated the debt. I provided email correspondence with XXXX, the debt holder, on why I do not think I am responsible for the charges. No one from XXXX or LJ Ross has reached out to me.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

On Friday XX/XX/17 I thawed my credit report. 
That was fine. However what I am complaining about is that when accessing your Experian account the user is led to believe that the only way to close your account to outside inquiries is to lock it. This is offered only as an upgrade, which I assume to be at additional cost. The wording is highly deceptive, they tell me that my account is unlocked and i was pretty sure that I had previously locked it. 
Fast forwardafter several minutes of drilling down into the website I find that my account was in fact frozen and that was a free service. I then proceeded to thaw my account. 
Bottom line, Experian tries to upgrade you by using the term locked as opposed to frozen. This is a deceptive practice.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (UT)

I am trying to request a payoff amount for my American Eagle Outfitters ( AEO/SYNCHRONY BANK ) card however they are either unable to give me an amount or unwilling to do so. I spoke with a representitive and she refused to transfer me to a manager when I requested and then proceded to hang up on me. I may be wrong, but having worked for a credit card company I 'm pretty sure that it is federally mandated to provide consumers with their payoff amount calcualted to a certain date pending no additional purchases are made.

I have been dealing with LexisNexis since XXXX, thought information was already corrected but it was not. Have been dealing with them for months and get mixed responses. Sometimes, they say they can not " authenticate me '' and want me to provide additional information that I believe they have no authority to ask for like, passport copy, driver 's license, notarized documents, bank, bills. They do have my Social Security, my birthday, my wife information ( she appears in my report but I am not in her, as if she were single ) marriage entries are four when I only been married in my life once and I am XXXX XXXX XXXX. Car information, email addresses from companies that do not serve the area. My cell phone and my wife is in my report. They do not remove my wife 's phone yet is in my wife report too in addition to my land phone. It is a burthen trying to correct information when contacting their sources because they do not respond or no longer in business ( outdated information ) like XXXX XXXX went out of business but yet it shows they have an interest in my wife car. LexisNexis is providing incorrect information that cost in insurance premiums and provides a wrong/incorrect value as to the risk and value on my " persona '' It is very difficult and costly to deal with them they do not verify the information they impute as yours. My name and my address : XXXX now the started spelling as : XXXX  in my address, with my middle name and first name. With this pretext they request me to provide more information. At the same time when they at some point say they can not authenticate me, they go to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and they access my file with no problem at all.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (TX)

Back in XX/XX/2023 I applied and was approved for Apple Credit card and purchased two laptops for my children. Next day I went to XXXX and found the same laptops {$500.00} cheaper. I called Apple and asked for price match which they refuse and told me to return the products, which I did the following day. I have not received any communication from Goldman Sachs or Apple in the mail and on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from my credit monitoring company regarding late payment on my credit report. I started to investigate and found {$120.00} balance on Apple card. I did not receive any statements or communication from Goldman Sachs or Apple regarding this and was completely shocked since I returned all what I purchased for full refund. 
I called the number on the credit report and spoke to the Goldman Sachs representative, who informed me that the balance due reflects daily cash/cash back that Goldman Sachs gave me for the purchase. I have never received anything from Goldman Sachs or Apple and never had the access to the cash back they are referring to or have knowledge about. I did not redeem anything and like all normal credit cards require did not approve any redemption. The account Goldman Sachs claims the cash was sent to, has never been setup and I do not use Apple wallet where the Goldman Sachs claims the cash will show up. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment to pay the balance on the card which I do not owe to them and I have no access to the cash they referring to. Also, on the top of that, I have a late payment on my credit report that significantly affected my nearly perfect score. I contacted Goldman Sachs multiple times and spoke to many different supervisors and representatives and no-one is willing to do the right thing and remove this scam of my credit report and return my money.
