Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank decreased my credit limit from {$13000.00} to {$1000.00} without notice although I have never missed a payment and have a credit score in the 800s. I found out about this action when planning to use this card for a large purchase. This unfair action negatively impacted my credit utilization ratio without my knowledge, and is a harsh action to take during a pandemic. I spoke with a representative on XX/XX/2021 and requested written notice of why this significant change, resulting in a reduction of {$11000.00} of my credit limit was taken. I was told it was because I hadnt used the card for a while. I explained that my use of the card declined due to the stay- at- home order because of the public health crisis. Based on my solid credit profile, I requested my credit limit be reinstated and I not be punished for not using this card during a pandemic. I was told I would have to reapply which will generate a hard inquiry and another negative impact on my credit score. Synchrony should not be able to make such a significant change to our agreement without notifying me of this severe credit limit reduction that has negatively impacted my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
I am not sure what happened to cause XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank to approve a credit card with my personal information. I've been trying to get this off my credit for almost 7 years with no success. I filed a police report years ago but this is still on my credit report. On several occasions, I've asked XXXX to provide evidence of who may have opened the account so that I can give it to the police but they have not sent me any evidence ever. No matter how many times I have asked for valid proof I was only supplied with a copy of a bill. Per the credit reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX the {$8900.00} debt is going to fall off in XXXX of XXXX, however it should have never been on my credit report. It appears the account was opened in XXXX of XXXX. I have never used my Nevada state ID, Social Security #, Name, DOB, and any other personal information to open an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). I have been trying to get this account off my credit for over 7 years. I filed FTC Report Number XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX but it did not resolve the issue. Per the FDCPA it is scheduled to fall off my credit report in XXXX of XXXX, however it should have never been on my credit report at all. This account appears to have been opened around the same time that I was applying for home loans and bought my house.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am reaching out to you because I have sent in disputes to each of the credit bureaus concerning them incorrectly reporting information about me. There are a multitude of accounts that are incorrect or dont even belong to me. It has been 60 days and still no reply, My letters have been not only been faxed, but also uploaded and mail. Yet and still nothing. I am fully aware that we are in the middle of a global pandemic but 60 days and no responses is unacceptable. At this point not only am I being ignored but the credit bureaus are taking advantage of an already difficult situation. If they do not have the manpower to process these requests they should not be reporting. It is quite unfair that as a consumer Im being dragged along.

Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We refinanced with company in XX/XX/2020. When the rates dropped we applied to refinance with same company. The Loan originator made promises but never submitted our application. We wasted a month trying to get him to start the application. We have A1 credit and income. Refi should have been a slam dunk easily. Our guess is that doing a refi would cut into loan benefits earned last year or we are victims of racism. This is the same originator who did an excellent job on our first refi with Owning. When we realized he wasn't going to help us, we began an application with new loan originator at owning. /Guaranteed Rate. Things started out great, we gave them everything they asked for. Again, should have been a slam dunk, A1 credit plus income. Refinancing can now save us approx {$270.00} per month. They never had the numbers/amounts correct on documents even after we supplied correct official information. It has now been over six weeks and they give one excuse after another for not closing. I tried to reach the loan originator and loan processor 's supervisor who, to this day has not returned my call.

I have been trying to pay off my credit debt with them this entire month but have been constantly having the problem saying that they can not connect to my bank, and the only way to fix that is by contacting them. I contacted them twice by email, one on the day of XX/XX/2021 and got no response to that but an automated message that said they will contact me. Another time on XX/XX/2021 and said they are currently out of office and will contact me back when they are in office, and still no response as of XX/XX/2021 which was the day my payment was due. On XX/XX/2021 I attempted to call them and was on hold for over 6 minutes and was told that there was no available representatives. I then proceeded to contact them over text message as that was an option and was told I will get a response within two days and still got nothing. I am afraid of getting a negative impact because of missing a payment when I have been attempting to
