Complaint narrative:
My hearing aid provider uses financing through " Care Credit '' XXXX, which seems to be a division of XXXX XXXX. I applied for the credit on-line and was approved. As per the documentation in the Connect Hearing office, I was to receive no-interest credit for 24 months. 
I received my first statement which shows correctly the purchase amount of {$4900.00}. My credit limit was {$5500.00}. On the statement was shown " Total Minimum Payment Due '' of {$160.00}. The statement does include a Minimum Payment Warning explaining that payment of the minimum payment will incur interest charges. The statement also shows a hypothetical payment of {$220.00}, showing that it too will incur interest charges. 
Nowhere on the Statement does it show the amount to pay to avoid interest charges, as per the promotion offered by the company. My call to the company was frustrating, with the agent ( he identified himself as XXXX with identity number XXXX ) explaining that I would have to calculate the correct payment amount myself, and advising me to divide the payment owed by XXXX. I did this and he advised me to round the amount up to {$200.00}. Notice that this is less than the hypothetical amount which shows total interest charges of over {$3000.00} ( which they misleadingly write yields a savings of over {$15000.00}, comparing to the minimum payment ). Nowhere on the statement is there anything that indicates that I will not incur interest by paying the calculated amount of $ 208 monthly, or any reference to the promotion. 
I believe this to be intentionally misleading, with the intent to have customers pay amounts that will incur interest charges. They do not show the correct amount to pay for the promotional agreement. In fact, the only reference to that is on the mail-in tear-off that explains, " If you only pay the Total Minimum Due it may not pay off the Promotional Purchase by the expiration date. '' But neither that amount nor the expiration date appears. 
This company is committing financial fraud. At the very least they are providing misleading information. I do not understand how this conforms to requirements for full and clear disclosure of financial terms. I believe that the company should be compelled to change the information on their statement.

This account # XXXX was purchased by a Third Party Debt Collector ( JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEM ). This account must be deleted as the status is not correct, the amount is not correct and the account was paid for less than owed by the Third Party Debt Collector ( JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEM ). How much did the collection company pay for this item? I don't know and my credit report does not reflect such amounts. This is a clear violation of the 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) : The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

After multiple attempts to settle these issues with JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEM they have ignored all requests to delete this inaccurate information.

In addition to inaccurate information being reported, this report is a violation of my privacy per the Privacy Act of 1974 and 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( a - c ) : A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option AND a violation of USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) : There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

In this case my personal information was NOT RESPECTED and disclosed to third-party non-affiliates ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) without written or electronic notice of how to opt out of disclosure.

THIS INFORMATION IS NOT ACCURATE NOR IS IT FAIR. AND A COMPLETE VIOLATION OF MY PRIVACY. Per 16CFR433.2 I have a right to uphold my rights as a consumer : ANY HOLDER OF THIS CONSUMER CREDIT CONTRACT IS SUBJECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND DEFENSES WHICH THE DEBTOR COULD ASSERT AGAINST THE SELLER OF GOODS OR SERVICES OBTAINED PURSUANT HERETO OR WITH THE PROCEEDS HEREOF.
