Consumer complaint received 2018-04-04
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (NY)

Hello, I have been contacting this company for well over a month and spoken to numerous representatives and managers to resolve the debt. Everyone lies and transfers calls. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have faxed, called, and emailed over 30 times getting the runaround, hung up on, misinformation, confusion, and incompetent stall tactics. I spoke with a manager XXXX handling XXXX accounts who assured me that since I lived in the state of New York, I had to email a statement saying I gave Convergent permission to email me and we agreed I would settle this account for {$250.00}. I emailed immediately while she was on the phone to a # clerks email. I called the next day as she requested so I could pay it and interestingly when I asked for the same manager she was " in a meeting ''. Then I called that afternoon and reps hung up the phone or transferred me all over the place. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS PAY. Who does this to someone just wanting to pay? 

They never sent the invoice as THE MANAGER told me that department would so I could have proof of what we agreed before I paid. Another week goes by with me calling and still no resolution. She even tells me there is SEPARATE UNNAMED DEPARTMENT that I can not communicate with who handles email correspondence. Yesterday, I coincidentally got transferred to XXXX again, reminded her who I was and reminded her that nothing she told me was true. She then tells me they have a NEW EMAIL ADDRESS and that she gave me the wrong one 3 weeks ago! I was stunned. So I email that account 3 times - XXXX - how convenient that a new email address pops up. 

I paid off this debt XX/XX/XXXX in good faith with XXXX and STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECEIPT stating this matter is settled TO MY EMAIL. 

TODAY - I was just put on hold at XXXX XXXX this morning, XX/XX/XXXX as I am writing this. The representative said she had to figure out what department sends receipts???? I was on hold for 15 minutes and I hung up because I knew from experience that rep was not coming back to the phone. 

This company is evil and corrupt. How long does it take to send a 30 second email? I want my receipt so I can move on with my life and never have to deal with this company again. They should be shut down. They have no corporate numbers to call and bogus websites, and all this confusion. I can't believe this company is allowed to be in existence with all the negative reviews and complaints all over the internet. 

Disclaimer : This debt is under my maiden name, Do not let them say they can not find me.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

I have an XXXX store card which is run by synchrony banking. I have had this card set up on auto pay and it has been set up this way for years. For whatever reason my XXXX payment was not deducted which resulted in a missed payment and late fee even though it is still set up on auto pay and has not been taken off. Sycrony banking called me five times over a four hour period along with several other calls early in the morning on other days even though I told them I would check the account and see if I could figure out why the payment didnt go through since they were no help on letting me know why themselves. I find their excessive amount of calls in such a short period of time extremely frustrating and do not appreciate the harassment considering my on time payment history with them since I acquired their card.

They never provided : 1. The names and business addresses of each individual with whom they verified the information with above, so that I may follow up.

2. The date they contacted the individual furnishers of information.

I was never given this information Bureau ignored my previous request and failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct.
