Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Applied for a CareCredit card for a medical procedure. On their website it states you have two options to pay. 0 % at different terms like 6 month, 12 month, 24 month, etc or 24 months offer with a 14.90 % APR, a 36 months offer with a 15.90 % APR or a 48 months offer with a 16.90 % APR. Purchases of {$2500.00} or more may be eligible for a 60 months offer with a 17.90 % APR. When I called to select 0 % for 24 month period they said they have nothing to do with setting the terms the doctor office does. The information on the rates is buried in the disclosure information at the bottom of the page and does not appropriately explain that you need to contact the doctor or what ever medical institution you are doing business with to see what terms you will be offered. 
Therefore ; because I did not understand this and the way it is explained on their website they are not transparent in how the rate will be determined and that you should check with the medical entity to understand what rate you will be charged. To me I find this to be bate and switch as to what they are offering. Had I known upfront and understood that I would be stuck with interest rates of something between 15.9 % to 17.90 % I would have made other arrangements for payment at a lower rate through a different financial institution. This needs to be made clear on their website that the doctor 's office determines the rate. Also, the call center you call into is offshore so you can barely understand what they are saying and the client service was horrible. Please visit the following page to see how the rate terms are explained : https : //www.carecredit.com/howcarecreditworks/prospective/

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: DISCOVER BANK (MN)

We made a purchase in the amount of {$3500.00} with our discover card. 
The merchant did not produce the item we purchased, also they fraudulently signed out name to a line of credit, we notified the AG office, State Department and also the FTC.

We reached out to discover to open a dispute of the charge. At no time did they ask us for documentation. They reached out to the merchant and all they did was provide the contract we signed, they did not show proof of good received nothing. We got a letter in the mail from discover closing the dispute stating the charge stood. 

We reached out and asked them how this could be supplied them with extensive documentation and they did not reopen the cases, nor did they review any of the documentation supplied and told us we needed to reach out to the merchant getting a letter stating they owed us our funds back. 

We can't contact them! There is no valid contact information they are unresponsive and why we have filed a report with the FTC. This is absurd. Discover is ruling in favor of a merchant who not only scammed us but took us for identity theft.

Beginning in XXXX, I have submitted multiple disputes to all three credit bureaus in regards to incorrect information being reported on my credit report. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX continue to violate my rights under the FCRA. The following accounts contain erroneous, unfair information that is damaging my credit. 

XXXX : Account type is incorrect across all XXXX bureaus, Date opened is different across all bureaus, Last reported date is different across all three bureaus, Last reported date is different across all bureaus, etc. ( copy of credit report with errors circled enclosed ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ) states i have a right to privacy and 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my expressed written consent XXXX : Dates, account number, high credit, and payment history is incorrect/inaccurate. ( copy of credit report showing inaccuracies enclosed ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ) states i have a right to privacy and 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my expressed written consent XXXX XXXX : Inaccurate information being reported across all three bureaus. ( copy of credit report showing incorrect information enclosed ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ) states i have a right to privacy and 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my expressed written consent XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Dismissed : Courts do not report nor verify information to credit bureaus. This information was obtained and sold to the credit bureaus without my consent and is a violation of both 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ) states i have a right to privacy and 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my expressed written consent. 

Furthermore the XXXX was dismissed without adjudication and in the eyes of the law, anything that has been dismissed is no longer valid or deemed to exist and therefore should not be on my credit report. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. The negative erroneous information being reported is effecting my ability to acquire housing and employment. The credit bureaus have refused on multiple occasions to remove this incorrect information claiming to have verified the accounts. how are these accounts being verified when all of the information is inaccurate. According to the FCRA, I have the right to a 100 % accurate and fair credit report. 
As I have included a copy of my credit report with inaccuracies already circled, I demand that these items be deleted immediately or I will be seeking litigation against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax for violating the FCRA laws.
