The detective has made out a police report and I also had a legal notarized affidavit done and sent to all 3 credit bureaus. I also contacted this XXXX XXXX and spoke to their fraud department, and spoke to a XXXX. She stated they would get this matter resolved but it would take 30 days. Since then, I received a letter from XXXX stating that they came to a resolution of their investigation and that they are in accordance with XXXX XXXX and that I am responsible for this auto loan.

I explained that in the state of Pennsylvania that is illegal to threaten anyone with wage attachment. He argued with me that they can in fact sue me. I told him I was aware I could be sued, but that my wages could not be attached so I would be discuss options, but not to threaten me by coming to my home or place of employment. I do have the voice mails saved and attached the transcription. He then told me they would sue me and attach my wages. I told him to go ahead and do it. He told me " good luck in court '' and hung up on me.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (LA)

Apparently something has gone askew as I received an online notification today that my account was past due. You will note my pay record reflects that the account has been paid in full with each billing statement for years. On XX/XX/2020, I made payment of {$130.00} in full with all intention of the payment being processed on XX/XX/2020. However, for reasons that defy my understanding, your system reflected that the full balance due was to be applied on XX/XX/2020. You will note additionally that I customarily pay all credit cards in full on or before payment due date, intending this payment to be the same scenario. The confirmation # XXXX dated XX/XX/2020 reflects a month later which is highly irregular and not at all in context with my payment activity. The statement indicated payment was due on XX/XX/2020, yet I am just getting some notification today that something has gone askew. 
I would appreciate your company doing two things : ( i ) proceed to process the XXXX payment as of the intended date, XX/XX/2020 ; ( ii ) waive the late charge of {$28.00} plus the additional interest of {$3.00}, a total of {$31.00} as well as any future interest charges assessed. 
Frankly, I have never encountered an error such as this one, not with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX or XXXX XXXX where I maintain other credit cards. However, it seems that every time a weird issue arises, especially where some late charge is incorrectly assessed by Synchrony. There have been issues with lack of notification of other actions where Synchrony Bank is involved and I am seriously considering terminating any further credit relationships with your bank.

Back in 2022 I and my son traded in our XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The dealer was supposed to pay the vehicle off to XXXX XXXX. 

In XXXX, I get a call from XXXX XXXX that I am 30 days late because no payment was made. I call XXXX to figure out what's going on, and they admitted they never paid off the vehicle like they are supposed to. According to CA Veh Code 11709.4 ( 2022 ), a dealer only has 21 days to pay off a trade in. If I turned in my vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX of 2022, there was no possible way for me to be 30 days late in XXXX of 2022 as the vehicle should have been paid off in XXXX. 

I then spoke with XXXX XXXX and told them I traded in my vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX of 2022 and I even sent them a copy of the paperwork proving so. I asked them to speak with XXXX as well since they were the ones who were supposed to pay this. 
I don't remember exactly what happened or how it happened, but eventually the loan did get paid. It was too late for me and my credit, however. 

I spoke with XXXX to see if they could remove the 30 day late payment since this wasn't my fault. They didn't help me or fix anything. They just kept giving me excuses. I have spent over a year trying to fight with them and XXXX to help me fix this, but no one helps me. I just think its sad that I have to suffer the consequences for something I had no control over or was my fault. When you trade in a vehicle at a dealership, you do so in good faith and under the expectation that they would pay the vehicle off in a timely fashion. I have no way of knowing that they would violate California law and not pay off my loan until after I have been damaged and they have to be called out on their tardiness. 

Please help me as I do not think its right I should have to suffer a blemish on my report for 7 years when it was not my fault.
