I have been disputing fraud ITEMS on my credit report. The items are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraudulent items affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the items claim to be mine. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensation and damages incurred. Please delete the items immediate.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (NY)

On XX/XX/2023 I purchased a vehicle and Ally Auto approved me for a loan for the amount of $ XXXX 15.99 % APR On XX/XX/2023 I made my first payment of {$870.00}. I waited a few days for the payment to process and I checked the outstanding balance. The outstanding balance is still {$41000.00}. 
So I called Ally Auto, and the lady I spoke with told me that the money went all towards finance charge. I asked her what was my APR rate and she confirmed it is 15.99 %. So I asked her, why did the bank take 100 % of my payment? She then broke down to me how much money goes towards the interest and how much goes to the principal. She said {$140.00} is supposed to go towards interest and {$730.00} towards the principal amount. She said she will put in a request to fix the problem. I waited over a week and saw nothing changed so I called again. Still the problem hasnt been resolved and now they are asking for the next payment which is due XX/XX/2023. At this point I dont trust Ally Auto anymore.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

I purchased a ticket from XXXX XXXX and they offered a {$200.00} statement credit if I applied for the AAdvantage Citi Mastercard. I applied and was told they would get back to me. I completed my purchase, using another card. Three weeks later Citi approved my application, with no additional questions or contact with me. I called to see how they would apply the statement credit and they said I would have to buy another ticket, with XXXX XXXX, using the Citi card. I explained again and was treated very aggressively. I called back two more times, without resolution. On the fourth call I was finally allowed to speak to a supervisor who said the same thing, but gave a {$50.00} credit for the rudeness of his staff. Please advocate, on my behalf, and force Citi to honor their own promotion. I bought the ticket and I have the credit card. I would not have applied except for the offer. There was no notification that a delayed approval would negate the promotion and no explanation for the delay in approving my credit card application ( I have great credit ). Thank you.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

I am remodeling my kitchen and the total cost exceeds {$25000.00}. I applied for a Lowes credit card, issued by synchrony bank, in late XX/XX/. I was approved for a credit limit of {$4000.00}. I mailed a check from my personal bank account for {$21000.00} and synchrony bank cashed the check on XX/XX/. It cleared my bank account on XX/XX/ XXXX  The funds were not available right away, so I charged close to the {$4000.00} limit on the card and paid for my cabinets from Lowes on my XXXX card. This left a large credit balance since I was unable to use my Lowes card for my cabinets and countertops as I had planned. A few days later, synchrony bank closed my Lowes card stating that the transaction was possibly fraudulent. The closure of the account trapped my credit balance refund on the card and even though I have asked several times for a credit balance refund, synchrony bank refuses to return my money. They act as if I am a criminal when I was just trying to make one payment to my credit card to cover my entire kitchen project. If they had kept my account open, I would have purchased new countertops and new appliances, using part of my credit balance up in the process. Synchrony bank will only communicate with me by letters sent via US Mail, which take weeks to get to me, delaying my responses. I can not respond to a letter request until I get it in the mail. I sent a secure email message to synchrony bank with the check image proving it had cleared my bank, but they refuse to accept it. I also had my bank fax over a copy of the same check, hoping if synchrony bank had proof directly from my financial institution, it might move things along. Synchrony bank claims to not have either copy. I am being forced to provide copies via US Mail, which means I have to wait weeks for my refund. The bank is purposely delaying the return of my money for no valid reason. I am paying interest on my other credit cards because I need that money to pay the other creditors off. It has cost me over {$500.00} in interest so far. I am very angry that synchrony bank is doing this to me. I had an Amazon Store Card issued by synchrony bank for almost 10 years, so I was already a customer of synchrony bank. I paid that card faithfully, in full every month with XXXX late payments. That alone should show that I am a trustworthy borrower. I have just today closed my amazon store card. I refuse to give synchrony bank and more of my money. They have lost my trust and they will never get it back.
