Complaint narrative:
I applied for a XXXX  credit card today XX/XX/20 and I was not approved ; I was told that the reason why I wasn't approved is because there are accounts in negative standing on my credit report. I looked through every account on my credit report and I saw four accounts that I never opened. The accounts are from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. None of the accounts that were opened with those companies in my name belong to me. I do not have any written/verbal contract with those companies nor did I allow anyone to open those accounts on my behalf. I did not benefit anything from those accounts such as money, goods, services or any other benefit nor did I contribute to any payments that might have been made towards those accounts. I have already reported these unauthorized accounts to the police department as well as with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX Dear customer service, I received an email from XXXX  XXXX  that my Chase bank sent a 30 days late payment to all 3 credit Bureaus. Let me first explain my situation. I closed most of my credit carts about 2 years ago through XXXX XXXX XXXX 's department. Every month I am paying them the amount that creditors agreed with them. During the Covid 19 I was not able to pay the full amount due to my financial hardship. It was the first time that I paid less amount to my credit card companies. However, I have already paid the full amount and make them current. The only bank that didn't remove my late payment is Chase bank. I have already made a disput with all 3 credit bureaus and received an email from them that they are unable to remove the late payment from my history. Today I called to Chase bank and humbly request them to do something for me and ask them to let me to make a disput with them, but they said they are not able to do anything for me. I told them I have already spoken with their customer service department and explain them I am not able to pay my full amount but the supervisor told me they have never received a call from me. I swear to God I talked with them a month ago and explained them why I can't pay the full amount and they accepted it. Now, they say I have never talked with anybody in their department which is so weird. I humbly request you to understand my situation and do something for me. I have never had any credit problems with any companies before and this late payment really bothers me. Because of the late payment report my credit score dropped by many points and I am really sad that why I was not able to pay the full amount to them. I thought that chase bank will understand my situation and remove my late report because I am sure that this might happened to many people during this Covid 19 pandemic.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX reported that Experian added a new address to my credit report. 
I spoke with Services at XXXX XXXX and they said I had to contact Experian. 
I called Experian services and they said XXXX added the address. 
I then closed my XXXX account but the address remained. 
I logged into my account that was supposedly free because of a data breach and they gave me a membership. 
I created a dispute but it said that address change could not be done online. I called the number listed and tried to get through to anyone but the autobot politely hung up on me. 
Now there is an address listed that is not mine and there is nothing i can do but buy a higher membership. I will not pay someone extortion money! 
This is outright EXTORTION!!!!!

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Real Time Group, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Good afternoon, I am writing today for assistance in resolving a fraudulent collection account, which is not only being reported grossly inaccurate but which I believe is an attempt to pad an account and collect a debt not owed by myself. 
This regards a debt with original lender XXXX XXXX, issuer of a XXXX  card. The collection was originally for less than {$200.00} dollars. An item was purchased and RETURNED and a credit was supposed to be given. I called XXXX XXXX numerous times when I had the account with them and spoke on recorded calls to their agents and this was supposed to be resolved. i further asked that the account be closed, against the protestations of the agent. i wanted nothing to do with XXXX, XXXX XXXX  or anyone else. 

Flash forward, today this company XXXX XXXX XXXX is sending me a letter asking for {$3500.00} to settle XXXX. They are reporting this fraud to the 3 bureaus and damaging my consumer credit files. i am asking for the CFPB to intervene and oversee this company complying with the FDCPA guidelines in reporting. I am asking for the original documents pertaining to this account and the itemized list of charges that amount to the {$3500.00} which they say I owe. Furthermore, I would like this information to be provided from the original source : XXXX XXXX. 

I know full well no such charges were made, and the account was closed out with nothing more than {$200.00} ever having been charged during the entire time I had the card. 

This is another example of collection agencies and debt buyers fudging the facts and outright committing fraud. I am asking for this to remain on record as I will absolutely be reviewing my legal options.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing on behalf of my wife 's Amazon Prime Store Credit Card by Synchrony Bank. Twice this year, I had made an early payment which means I paid off the entire balance before I receive the statement at the end of the month. I want to help my wife build her credit, by paying on time and paying off the entire balance each month. 
We have XXXX young children including a newborn just XXXX XXXX XXXX, every time when my wife wants to purchase something on Amazon Prime, she would go and see how much available credit she has on her Amazon Prime Store Credit Card, and we would budget from there, just recently we had paid off a balance of {$380.00}, so we can purchase an item, knowing her credit limit is only {$400.00}. 
This is the second time this year, Sychrony decided to lock/hold down the account, the customer service rep, say the funds are held for six business day. The funds were withdrawn from our checking account, but Synchrony wont credit the account and release the funds of {$400.00} Total Credit Limit for us to use on Amazon Prime. 
My wife is fairly new to credit, we had not missed any payments on the account, but there were a few times, when we didn't pay off the entire balance, so I had a remaining balance, but most of the time payments were made on time, because my wife likes to shop on Amazon Prime. The first time I called and complained to Synchrony Bank, the representative said it was a " red flag '', that we pay off the entire balance at the end of each month, but still wouldn't release the funds, so we can go and shop again on Amazon prime. 
Most banks, once payment is made, funds can be used again after twenty four to thirty six hours, but Synchrony bank, likes to hold the funds for six days after payment is made, which means we can not use the account, which is really inconvenient for us. 
Also I would like to mention Synchrony Bank originally gave my wife {$1100.00} Total credit limit and all of a sudden decided to lower the limit to {$400.00} without any explanation despite my wife 's credit history

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I sent a certified letter to Debt Recovery solutions for debt validation. The letter arrived tot he company on XX/XX/2020. I mentioned in my validation letter to please provide me with competent evidence that i had any legal obligation to pay them. I mention to please reply within 30 days with proper documentation. I sent debt Validation letter packet for the company to complete and with return with the proper documentation. The company responded within the time frame but they sent a copy of a bill invoice saying this is their validation and if i could pay now. I am very disappointed with what the company provided to me not only was the company not compliant to what i requested but they sent a copy of bill which proved nothing to me and then demanded payment without verifying anything to me. i state in the validation letter packet that the company must return the completed form along with copies of all requested information, which establish their right to collect the alleged debt within 30 days from the date of the receipt of the letter. If no their claim can not and will not be considered if any portion of the form is not completed and returned. unfortunately DRS didn't provide anything but a copy of a invoice.

Complaint narrative:
I made a Payment Plan with Citi Bank Collections Department because the account was closed and I wanted to pay me debt off. I am really grateful that they gave me credit. We made an agreement that I would pay {$260.00} every month for 31 months and my debt would be complete and I wouldn't owe any money. They also said that no extra charges including past due balance or interest would be added as long I was still enrolled with the Payment Plan. Today I got an email from the credit bureau saying that there was a change with my Citi Bank XXXX Account. I checked and they added {$200.00} to the amount past due balance. Please help me. Thank you and have a great day.
