Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NY)

Complaint:
I have used paypal credit for years. This year I made a bigger purchase. Upon sending my payments Synchrony bank would send them back. Then charge me late fees and interest. I personally called and was told that they credited a old account and would rectify it. This is still happening and I just recieved another check from them after they cashed the {$300.00} payment that i made. My records show that I owe about {$1000.00} less than what I'm being charged. This is a simple fix however since I was straight up lied to as it still continues. Knowbody taken the appropriate action to fix their mistakes. Instead I'm still getting overcharged and having to babysit every payment has taken alot of my time. My records show I've always paid on time and have continued too. They also show the great deal of diffrence in what I'm being charged. This has been brought to their attention every month but have gotten no help just continued fraud. I also recieve non stop calls even Sundays at XXXX as well as text messages asking for payments already made. They refuse to be of any help or show their moral, ethical and legal obligation to fix their mistake. Please help. Thank you

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA)

Complaint:
I'm concerned. I just got this letter from Navient. Before proceeding I want to ensure it is legitimate & that good faith & honesty will be integral to our communications. I did a web search & found that there are outstanding lawsuits against them. Also, I don't have the means to do more than chip away at this debt. I'm XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, & on XXXX. If my XXXX were taken away or significantly reduced, I wouldn't be able to survive. Presently I receive {$1200.00} per month. I'm willing to pay as much as {$50.00} per month, knowing that will only chip away at the principal. Unless I come into some money or live surprisingly well beyond my normal life span as a XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX man, I will pass on before making any serious dent on this debt. Please advise me. Can I possibly negotiate with them in a productive, constructive resolution of this matter?

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I deposited a check for {$16000.00}. While trying to transfer funds from my savings account to my checking account, I realized that I wasn't able to do so. I called Chase and they explained to me that they have restricted my accounts because they have to verify the check. They threatened to close my account if the checks are not verified in 10 business days. I have done everything in my power to provide Chase with the necessary contact information for verifying the checks from the issuer. However, I must emphasize that the issuer in question is a large corporation, making it nearly impossible for me to establish direct contact with the individual responsible for issuing the check. On XX/XX/2023, my check for {$16000.00} was cleared, but my account remains unjustifiably restricted. This ongoing restriction has left me without access to my own funds, hindering my ability to meet financial commitments. If the check has already been cleared, the excessive demand for additional verification to confirm its legitimacy appears unwarranted.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

Complaint:
I have repeatedly contacted Experian about an inaccurate account that's reporting on my credit file. After several attempts of trying to find out who they verified this information from, they finally told me they verified the bankruptcy that's reporting on my account with XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX to see if Experian had reached out to them about a dispute and they said that Experian did not reach out to them at all to inquire about my credit file. They also confirmed that I do not have a bankruptcy reporting on both of my credit files with them. XXXX XXXX said they would send out my new credit file to Experian so that they can update my credit file and remove the bankruptcy. They also said that Experian shares a database system with them so Experian can update their files, but often times they do not. I called Experian on XX/XX/2022 to explain this to them and they said that XXXX has to send them an electronic file so they can update my credit file. XXXX told me that they sent out my dispute and new credit file in XX/XX/2022 to Experian and Experian has received it, but has yet to respond to it. This is completely detrimental to my livelihood. I have an account thats reporting inaccurately on my credit report and I have proof thats its inaccurate and Experian will not remove it. This is unfair and a violation of my consumer rights according to the FCRA. I have shown verifiable proof that this account is inaccurate and Experian is ignoring the proof and they are not doing a proper investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

Complaint:
I acquired my credit report and asked the credit bureaus to check and make sure everting was complete and accurate according tc 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) I waited 30 days and received my investigation and notice everything was still the same. The consumer reporting agency which is experian did not modify or removed anything.

The date open is not correct, date last active is not correct one of my credit report, date of last payment is not correct on Experian reports Which is a violation. This is impacting me from moving forward to buying a car for my family. 
I attach my previous credit report and my new credit report to show how Experian violated my rights.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: The CBE Group, Inc. (CA)

Complaint:
On Friday, XX/XX/2022, and Friday, XX/XX/2022, I received two identical text messages from an unknown phone number, ( XXXX ) XXXX, claiming to be the CBE Group. 

In these messages, they told me to contact them at ( XXXX ) XXXX or paycbe.com. They provided no context on what sort of debt they are trying to collect, no statement with balances, and no identification of my name in their messages. They also did not provide a physical address that I could reach out to via mail. On top of all this, nowhere could I find these numbers to be associated with the CBE Group on the Internet. I did report this as spam to my cell phone provider the first time receiving this, only to be contacted once again. 

Normally, I would be skeptical of these messages, but I am aware that CBE Group is a legitimate debt collection agency that partners with the IRS. Additionally, the XXXX area code of this phone number seems to match that of the CBE Group 's headquarters. 

When I checked my profile on the IRS website, it stated that I do not have any debt owed. I'm not sure if whether this text was sent by mistake or with malice. Since I don't recognize this number, I do not feel comfortable replying by text or calling them back. However, I also do not want them to falsely report me to credit bureaus for debt that I do not owe.

I am clearly disputing that I was furnished the incorrect past due amount that resulted in me being reported 30 days late because I did not pay the current past due amount.

Complaint:
My husband and I recently began a refinance, XX/XX/2020, on a home. Within one week of our credit reports being pulled, my husband began receiving emails and on more than one day received up to 35 phone calls from solicitors for mortgage, debt consolidation etc. 
It is a well-known fact there is a loop-hole with the big three credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX  and Transunion barring them from penalty for selling consumers information. This is a huge ethical violation as well as privacy violation to us as consumers. My husband 's business phone number has been compromised and is now being abused due to the three credit reporting agencies, listed above, selling our private information. This is unacceptable and it needs to be rectified. How do we close this loop-hole? 

We have both signed up for the OPT OUT as well as requested a permanent opt out. 

How do we proceed and how can you help? 

Thank you. 
A very frustrated consumer
