Consumer complaint received 2021-11-10
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit 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: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NJ)

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I sign a contract with a HVAC company to install a new heating and cooling system in our house. The Company estimated it was a " 3 day job '' and would be finished by the end of XXXX. 

The promotional financing terms and conditions stated that I was preapproved and the charge would be made once the job was complete. There were delays, supply issues, etc and the job was not completed at the end of may. However synchrony called to confirm that that company had said that the job was finished and that they had charged the card and a payment was due. 

I contested and disputed the charge on XX/XX/XXXX since the job had not finished and the contractor should not be paid the entire amount of the contract. 

I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX stating that the dispute had been resolved in the merchants favor. Enclosed was the response from the merchant that stated without any supporting evidence that the job was " almost done '' and would be done on XX/XX/XXXX and there was no reason for the dispute. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I faxed evidence contradicting several claims in the letter from the merchant as well as evidence that the job had STILL not been completed and the company did not have a good relationship with us. 

I heard nothing from Synchrony bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and asked synchrony to review the evidence. They stated they had and that they had already reached a decision and " I needed to wait for the decision letter ''. I asked for the date of the letter and they referred to the XX/XX/XXXX letter. I asked them again about the evidence I had submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and they said they would have to open a new dispute. 

I am very concerned that synchrony bank is not doing its contractual due diligence in reviewing disputes and is unfairly closing the dispute process prematurely without any effort to validate any of the claims made by the merchant or providing us an opportunity to respond when the company offered no evidence to support any claims.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (FL)

Complaint:
XXXX XXXXXXXX University - XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX I was furloughed without pay in between XXXX and XX/XX/2020 due to COVID ( letter attached to support this claim ). During this time, I missed a couple of payments with UAS because I was very stressed about eLearning for my school-aged daughter, fighting with Florida 's unemployment system ( which is terrible and frustrating ) so that I could pay bills and have food on the table, and a death in the family. UAS does not offer any sort of " Your Payment is Due Soon '' or " You Missed a Payment '' messaging. They only send emails stating, " You Have a New Document Available. '' Every single other creditor sends me a message about payments coming due. This helped me manage all of the other bills and I was not late once on any others. Due to the stress and financial implications of COVID, I feel that all creditors should give some grace. The federal loans got this right. But, the holders of Perkins Loans feel that they must penalize Americans during these uncertain times. With their reporting of this late payment, this dropped my credit score 75 points. In addition, they charged hefty late fees. I paid all of it up to date on XXXX and a few days later was I was rewarded for this with a 60-day late payment mark with the credit bureaus. I have not been late with any creditors for over 2 years and I was trying so hard, but then COVID came. I feel like all creditors need to have some grace. UAS feels that they can be predatory because the federal government hasn't mandated that they give borrowers some grace.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (WA)

Complaint:
I paid my Chase statement balance online on XX/XX/2021. I received an email on XX/XX/XXXX indicating I had a balance due. On XX/XX/2021 I called Chase at XXXX to inquire about the {$30.00} posted to my charge card. I was told the fee was interest from XX/XX/XXXX until the time I paid on XX/XX/2021. I asked how and why interest is charged after I paid the statement balance in full. XXXX apologized for the confusion and told me she was trying to credit my account for {$30.00}, but her request was declined. I asked to speak to a XXXX. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX and asked the same question and was told the same thing. I told him I paid off another Chase account and was not charged interest after I paid the full balance and he indicated I was charged interest and I called Chase and Chase reversed the fee. I asked if he could do the same this time and he said no because it was too much. He also said if I did not pay the fee, I would be sent to collections. 

I asked my attorney to send a letter disputing the charge and they sent a letter on XX/XX/2021. To date, I nor my XXXX  have heard back from Chase regarding the dispute letter. 

On XX/XX/XXXX. 2021, I received an email from Chase indicating my email address was changed. I did not request this change so I called Chase and learned my email address and mailing addresses were changed. Neither were requested by me. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I was asked to enter my zip code and after several attempts, I learned the zip code on my file was for my attorney 's mailing address. When I was finally able to access my account, I saw messages from Chase indicating they have been trying to reach me and I needed to update my email address. The email address they had on file for me was XXXX. I was told to change it. 

None of the customer service representatives were able to tell me why Chase keeps changing my contact information or why Chase was trying to reach me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

Complaint:
Dear CFPB, This letter is a complaint regarding the Wells Fargo Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX 's negative handling and lack of response to disputes between customers and merchants, where they simply collect salaries without performing their duties. 

Recently, I made a purchase from a merchant on XXXX. The seller claimed to offer free returns and a 75-day buying protection. However, when I tried to return the item a month later, I discovered that the seller did not honor their guarantee of free returns and even refused to accept the return. I have already filed a complaint with the XXXX, but XXXX has never responded to any of the consumer complaints and continues to conduct business in the United States. 

Frustrated by this situation, I had to initiate a dispute. However, during the process, I found that my bank was handling my dispute in a passive manner. They readily refunded for inexpensive items but claimed to have filed a case for larger amounts after I provided details over the phone. 

After waiting for several weeks without receiving a claim ID email, I made two phone calls to inquire about my ID. Surprisingly, the bank informed me that they were unable to provide a claim ID. I asked them how I would know if they had completed the work without a claim ID. During the phone call, I provided all the details I knew when I submitted the dispute, albeit only verbally. The bank 's passive handling involved categorizing these cases as " lack of evidence '' and deliberately disconnecting calls, stalling the process until I asked again, only to be told they couldn't provide an ID. It seems that this bank employs these complex and burdensome tactics to discourage new immigrants from pursuing disputes, thus reducing their workload. 

If such difficulties arise during the application phase, I seriously doubt their ability to handle my dispute. I request that the authorities exercise oversight and management of banks, preventing them from resorting to such unethical practices of reducing their workload by exploiting language barriers faced by new immigrants while still collecting fees without fulfilling their responsibilities. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX my spouse and I requested our annual free credit reports from all three credit bureaus. 

XXXX provided both credit reports as requested. 

XXXX provided a credit report for my spouse, but other than my name the credit report was blank and, and when I tried to refresh the information the site said that I had already received my free report. 

Equifax denied provided both credit reports due to an inability to verify our identities, using the exact same information XXXX and XXXX accepted. 

When I call their support numbers to request mailed reports, both XXXX and Equifax mailed letters stating that a free copy of your credit file alreadt has been sent to you within this past 12 months. This is untrue, and in any case as we understand it, we were entitled to free WEEKLY credit reports during the pandemic. 

Equifax has continually denied my free annual credit report requests in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, and denied requests from my spouse in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. This appears to be a systematized denial of legally mandated credit reports, considering the same identity information provided to the XXXX website was accepted by the other two credit bureaus. 

We know our credit bureau files are up to date, because we unfreeze and refreeze them when we perform the annual credit report requests.
