Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Synovus Bank (MS)

I received an offer from Synovus XXXX XXXX with a credit limit of XXXX after reading more on this card issuer I immediately canceled without ever having used or activated the card. ( the offer stated that I could cancel within 30 days if I had not used the card ). 
I recently checked my credit report and find that they report that I opened the account in XX/XX/2021 ; was then 30 days past due in XXXX and charged off by XXXX. 
First I can not be 30 days past due one month after an account has been opened. Neither can I be past due on a card thats never be used or activated. And then from open to close in 60 days they charge off an account that never had a balance to charge off. Ive requested they remove this information and they refused. This information is misleading to say the least and very damaging to a credit report, not only that it is fraudulent information.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NE)

Synchrony Bank closed my Care Credit credit card and notified me after it was closed. 

The reason they provided is because my credit score has changed and I was deemed as high risk. 

My Care Credit card has had a {$0.00} balance since XX/XX/XXXX when I paid off the card in full. 

My credit score was lower when I initially got the Care Credit card. Since getting my card my score has gone up and my debt has been paid down. 

They just approved me for a different credit card last month and provided me with a higher credit limit than the card that they closed. 

I hold another card with them that they did not close that currently has a balance. 

There have been multiple reports from customers of Synchrony reporting that they have had their cards closed without warning that currently have {$0.00} balance and haven't been used for quite sometime, with the reason given that it was due to their credit report. 

Closing someone's account without warning can damage a person 's credit score. The reason being provided does not hold appear to be accurate given the additional actions taken from the bank to decide on my credit worthiness. 

I called customer service to get further explanation but was told the only information they have is the same that's provided in the letter that was sent to me.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

To who it may be concerned, This collection/charge off is a result from a not-at-fault total loss to the vehicle. The remaining balance that was owed after the car was paid off by the insurance company was for the extended warranty ( document 3 ) ( that the finance company obviously cancelled after the total loss and wanted a refund for from the dealership ) which was supposed to be paid by the XXXX dealership to their financial service. They refused for months to pay it so thats why this account went into the negative. From no fault of my own. I complained and complained for months that they needed to take care of this because it was hurting my credit report. Finally after months of getting in contact with them they finally paid it off. So this account is settled, they received payment and have admitted on multiple occasions that this was in no wrong going of my own and they have said for years now they would take this off my credit report but it is still there. I dont understand why my credit report says " charged off '' when they got paid. Included are proof that the vehicle was in fact in a total loss, also included is proof that the amount owed on the car ( minus what I owed on my previous trade which was paid by GAP insurance ) was paid in full. Also included ( document 3 ) is a letter from the creditor to the dealership requesting a refund for the extended warranty ( which is the amount that got charged off ). So you can probably see my frustration as it looks very much like the dealership didnt want to pay it back to the creditor which is a division to their own company! Also included is the GAP insurance claim which paid off the balance owed after the settlement. Please help me resolve this issue I have been trying to get this resolved with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for three years now with no luck. I have opened disputes with all three credit reporting agencys but nothing seems to be happening. Thank you for your time and any help you can give me. It is very appreciated. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

I took out a XXXX Credit Card in XXXX of XXXX as I was at the time a frequent shopper looking to rebuild credit to obtain a newer vehicle and home down the line. Things went exceptionally well with having this credit card until the gaps of employment from XXXX of XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX in which the latter resulted in me losing my home, my vehicle, without financial assistance as I am estranged and disowned by EVERYONE in my life for personal reasons. I was also denied unemployment due to previous reasons of not reporting new employment ( which was relayed that I had never been in that position of having to do so for years as I had maintained stable employment until XXXX of XXXX ), and I tried EVERYTHING in my power to avoid this situation. I explained to them SEVERAL TIMES that I was not in a position to pay at the time, however when I started to get back on my feet, I paid what I could and in XXXX of XXXX the account was INCORRECTLY charged-off because an incompetent employee WHO DID NOT DO THEIR JOB in WHICH THEY CONTINOUSLY DENY AND DENY TIME AFTER TIME. I made a plan to pay the account in full as opposed to a XXXX payment plan which would have been tedious as I am currently homeless without a vehicle, I sometimes sleep in abandoned buildings for air-conditioning and a warm shower. I also sleep on the streets and motels when the city provides vouchers for stays. I was in a six-year XXXX XXXX in which I am a victim of XXXX XXXX I have had my teeth broken, XXXX XXXX, had to take unpaid XXXX leave from a part-time that was barely paying the bills to begin with, I was also diagnosed with XXXX which limits my food choices that results in me NOT eating most days and in spite of the mentioned circumstances I managed to catch up on my bills including pay this account off IN FULL W/O a settlement plan. I complained to the XXXX  SEVERAL TIMES ON THEM AND THEY STILL DO NOT ADMIT TO ANY WRONGDOING!!! ADDITIONALLY, THEY DID NOT PROPERLY VERIFY XXXX  IN TERMS OF MY ACCOUNT, THEY KNEW I WAS EVICTED AND I COULD NOT RECIEVE ANY MAIL AT ALL ALONG WITH BEING PROHIBITED FROM BEING ON THE PROPERTY AFTER MY EVICTION. THE LANDLORD WROTE ME LETTER STATING THAT I WAS NOT ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY NOR COULD MAIL COME W/O PRIOR APPROVAL SO THEREFORE I NEVER RECEIVED A LICK OF XXXX VERIFICATION FROM THESE UNEDUCATED STUPID REPRESENTATIVES WHO LACK EVEN ONE XXXX BRAIN CELL AND NEED TO LEARN RESPECT ALONG WITH LACK OF EMPATHY!!!
