Consumer complaint received 05/27/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting report or credit score

Complaint: I have been trying for two days now to get Experian to send me my free XXXX score and credit report to no avail. I first attempted to acquire my information through their website, which kept giving me internal error messages, so I called them. During this call they attempted to get me to sigh up for a trail program and pay fo my report. When I rejected their offer I was told that I need to call another number, which turned out to be their automated line, which again wanted me to pay for it. 
I made several more attempts online and continued to receive errors. I even tried XXXX, and it gave me my XXXX and XXXX reports, but also errored out on Experian. So I called them again, and they told me that the only way that I could get it would be to pay for it. WHAT a RACKET!!! The whole reason that I am attempting to get their report is to try correct their errors. They are reporting my XXXX score XXXX points lower than XXXX and XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 01-02-2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with Twin City Motors Inc (TN).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I purchased a vehicle from XXXX using their in-house financing, XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TN. I paid {$1000.00} cash down, and then they asked for additional XXXX deferred down payment, making a total payment of {$2000.00} down. I was told the warranty was included with the vehicle, but from the contract, I was in fact charged for this. Moving beyond this issue, there were several issues with the car, including the engine needing replaced after only XXXX miles. At this point, we came to an agreement to return the car to the dealership, return {$750.00} of what I had paid so far ( they kept {$750.00}, which they called a restocking fee, even though XXXX stated the restock fee was {$250.00} ). I went to the dealership where my original salesperson, XXXX, gave me a check for the {$750.00}. I brought my copy of the contract so they could stamp it VOID and I would have proof of the contract being cancelled. I was referred to XXXX, in the Mountain Acceptance arm of the business, where at that point I was advised by her that the cashed check was proof enough and refused to void the copy of the contract I had. At this point, I cashed the check against their own bank XXXX, so obviously a cashed check would not provide any proof for me since they have access to that, not me. Now today, XXXX/XXXX/17 I am attempting to get a new auto loan. I was advised by the new creditor that I need something in written, a voided contract or a notice of cancellation on letterheard, showing the loan was closed/cancelled, in positive standing. I called Mountain Acceptance, where I spoke to XXXX and she advised they do not do that, I need to speak to the sales dept. I was transferred to the manager of the lot, XXXX, who advised he does not have to provide anything in writing to me. He then backtracked, and said I need to send him a written request for proof the loan is closed/cancelled, and he then has 30 days to complete the request. I called back to Mountain Acceptance to try there again, but each time I was transferred to the " Manager '' who consistently hung up the call every time I was transferred. At this point, I am not sure where to turn. I do not have the car, they kept half of the money I paid for a voided contract, and now I can not even get a letter or notice to show the car was returned, the contact closed, and no negative reporting. Please help!!!

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (IL).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I have an American Express credit card before, during I travel out of the U.S., someone stole my credit card information and use my credit card in U.S. After I found the fraud transactions, I reported to American Express . However, they just blocked my account and finally sold to a debt collector. This has great impact in my credit report. I called them so that we can resolve the problem, but they just asked me to call the debt collector. When I called the debt collector and told them the situation, they ask me to call American Express. Then I called American Express again and wanted to negotiate with them, but they refused, and they keep asking me to call the debt collector. When I try to call the debt collector again, they never pick up my phone. Again, I call American Express, they still keep asking me to call debt collector. 
The reasons I need to complain as follows : First, someone hacked in American Express 's system and steal my information is their fault, they failed to maintain a security system to protect their customers. 
Second, after I reported fraud transactions to them, they fail to handle this problem, instead, they just blocked my account. 
Third, American Express locked my account and sold it to the debt collector without contact me. ( they did not contact me, they even did not send me an email ) Fourth, I called them to resolve the problem, but they refused to negotiate with me. They keep asking me to call the debt collector. When I told them I can not reach the debt collector, they refused to solve my problem.

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC. (NH).
Issue: Problem with additional add-on products or services

Complaint: I took out a personal loan through Onemain financial. After going down to the office and reviewing the terms of decided to hold off on taking out the loan. The hold up was the fact that I just started a new job a couple months prior. The paperwork I signed clearly showed i was n't at that job more than a couple months. The sales agent sold me on a unemployment insurance policy. The policy was supposed to pay if I lost my job for reasons out of my control. 8 months later I lost my job but received unemployment from the state. Unemployment sent me paperwork proving I lost my job for reasons that qualify under the insurance policy but the insurance was rejected due to not being at my job long enough prior to taking out the loan. Turns out I needed to be employed by my then current employer for 1 year prior to taking out the insurance. The sales agent never made me aware of this and the proof is he sold me the insurance. Onemain was quick to blame me for thinking I was covered by the insurance i paid for but has refused any option to fix the situation. They started calling me with highly aggressive collection tactics. Calling and hanging on the machine but then calling right back and leaving 4-5 messages a week even multiple on the same day. This started after the insurance company made it 's decision then OneMain quickly sold the debt. After a quick search online I 'm seeing other stories of sales staff not being honest with consumers and illegal collection tactics. I have all voicemails saved and pictures of the caller ID showing they just kept the phone ringing.

Consumer complaint received 09-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OK).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: The vehicle in question was having serious mechanical issues 3 months after I got it. I took it to their only " authorized '' repair shop and they had it for a month and had other from other stores come and look at it as well and they stated that it could not be fixed. They rebuilt the engine and said that the problem of gas shooting out of the tailpipe was a serious issue and they could not figure out what was causing it or how to repair it. Since the car was not drivable and they gave up and no longer would continue to work on finding the issue, that there was nothing that could be done. It was repossessed from the repair place and my request. However, I am not liable for this money that was owed on the loan because it could not be repaired into a drivable condition by the only repair place that they would allow me to take it to. This needs to be removed off my credit reports because I am not liable for this loan any longer.

Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: 5 years ago, when I was supposed to start making monthly payments on my private student loans. I called them and explained that I can not afford the monthly payments. I simply do n't have the money. I offered to pay what I could, {$100.00} a month, and they simply denied it. I gave up and my loans are now in default, and have been for some time. I was hoping my employment situation was able to get better and it has n't. XX/XX/2013 I had to declare bankruptcy. Since student loans are not able to be discharged, i was stuck even though I could n't afford them. Now it has gone to the litigation department and i still want to try and wotk out a payment of {$100.00} a month because thats all I can afford. I called them and am still waiting to hear back. I am making monthly income based repayments on my federal loans because they understand my financial situation. I do n't know what else to do.

Consumer complaint received 08/17/2016 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (WV).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: I have an Amazon Store Card through Synchrony Bank. I am a recent XXXX who took the XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. Due to a overlap, I lost track of the time of the month and missed my payment. I have missed no other payments and have always been current. Resultantly, Synchrony Bank doubled my monthly payment, which I now can not afford. I am currently unemployed, being a recent student. I called Synchrony in an attempt to resolve this and was met with nothing but hostility and outright rudeness. I was told that my only option is to allow my account to lapse and write a mailing address that will take at least 30 days to process my request, at which point my account will be even further lapsed. They will offer no leniency and no meaningful solution. They will give me no details as to what options will be provided to me once I write to this address ( and seem to suggest that no relief will be provided ). All I asked for was flexibility, to allow me to pay my normal monthly rate and I was borderline mocked by their representatives. They have put me in a position where I have no choice but to fall further in debt and accumulate more late fees and interest.

Complaint: I purchased a home XXXX 2017 and tried to register online to make my first payment for XXXX 2017.

Consumer complaint received 06-09-2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Synchrony Bank- Amazon has denied me statements and my full account number. When I complained about my account status and not having full account information they blocked my online access to my account altogether and I have screenshot to prove. The XXXX time I tried to contact them by phone I had to go through horrible automated system and then wait XXXX minutes on my lunch break and never got through. The XXXX time I tried I got through and when I told them I was worried about my account and that I was worried about its effect on my credit report, the agent avoided my concern. I was told my account has been open since XX/XX/XXXX. I told them this could n't be I never heard of Synchrony bank until they started leaving me voicemails beginning of XX/XX/XXXX. After researching it found out that Synchrony was formerly GE Capital Retail Bank and I was n't notified of the bank name change either. What the agent said next was terrifying, he mentioned my XXXX credit card. How did he know I had a XXXX credit card? I did n't disclose any such information to him and he should n't have such information. I did n't want to draw attention about this suspicious business practice so I did n't mention anything more about my unrelated XXXX card. I am so concerned about this company 's seemingly illegal practices I am going to send a request to XXXX to have Synchrony Bank barred from my credit report altogether.
