Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

Without a written notice nor any kind of warning, my credit account with Paypal was closed. The company claimed I had made XXXX returned payments : {$150.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and {$30.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Autopay had ended on XX/XX/XXXX. The company claimed its their policy to automatically close an account after XXXX returned payments. I asked Paypal why did they not send a warning? No response. I asked why was my account not closed the week I reached the returned payment threshold? No response. On XX/XX/XXXX, I had made a payment of {$500.00} and my account did not display any notice of an impeding account closure. 

I do not recall reading anything about this policy in the companys credit agreement. This is a company internal policy used as an external policy. I dont think this is legal without a consumer notice.

To this day, Bask still has not deposited the promised XXXX XXXX miles to my XXXX  account. They told me that the miles were deposited to another XXXX account number which is not mine.

The loan with XXXX XXXX  entered into a covid-19 forbearance. At the end of the forbearance, the payments were made by the state of Texas to keep the account current and up-to-date. XXXX spent over 12 months denying my request to move from forbearance to repayment plans stating that the entire balance of the forbearance must be paid in full to make any payment whatsoever. All or nothing. In XX/XX/year> the account entered into an agreement to begin repayments in the form of three trial payments to begin XXXX through XXXX, each payment was made on time and successfully completed as agreed, however on the final month of the payment plan, XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX   in bad faith and in violation of the FCRA falsely reported the account as 120 days late. The account was fully listed as current, and went from " no data '' to " 120 days late ''. This massive hit on my credit has lowered my score over XXXX points, and means that I am unable to refinance, obtain better employment, it has jeopardized my XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it's based under a false pretense. All payments were made on time, as agreed, as dictacted by our contract, but XXXX through sheer malice and ill-intent falsely reported it as late to deny me my rights under the FCRA. Efforts to remedy this with XXXX have been met with extreme hostility and a denial of wrongdoing as well as a false representation of the payment history. The representation to the credit bureaus says that I made XXXX payments on time, while XXXX was pocketing my money. They received money, and while recieving it, reported negative blatantly lying information. This is criminal conduct that I attribute personal malice towards and should be met with reprimand by CFPB.
