Complaint narrative:
To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I had Amazon XXXX  for years before I signed up and was approved for XXXX dollar credit limit from Synchrony Bank. When I got the card I read that it was XXXX XXXX interest rate so I decided that I would never use the card because of the high interest rate. Soon after that I realized that I was getting late charges from a card that I had never used. Synchrony had replaced my primary payment method ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to their card without my permission. After years of them replacing my primary payment method I was fed up and in XXXX or XXXX of 2023 I called them for what I thought would be the last time I spoke with them. I continued paying my XXXX accounts ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) with my XXXX checking account. I kept getting late charges from and I wondered how? Instead of closing my account as requested, they opened up a fraud case and sent me a new card that I never activated. I was forced to call them several times before 2024. In 2024 they sent me a letter claiming they had opened up a fraud case and that they would freeze my account until the issue was resolved. However they continued charging me late fee 's every month. They reported late payment charges to the credit bureau although I have had XXXX XXXX on time payments with everyone else for the last XXXX  years. They claimed the reason was because I still owed XXXX dollars but they couldn't tell what the charge was for. I have spoken to Synchrony several times this year and was always met with hostility from their Customer Service Reps. 

As a result I had to close the XXXX accounts I had with them to ensure they couldn't continue charging me in a fraudulent manner. However that wasn't the case. I had a XXXX credit limit with Lowes and Synchrony they reduced the credit limit down to what I owed, which made it look like I had used XXXX XXXX of my limit. This company has been predatory against me since I first activated the original account.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute due to an on-line hacker scam, that tricked me into paying out $ XXXX dollars via XXXX, which is a Person to Person payment utility supported by Financial institutions. While it is an electronic transaction ( EFT ), it is not governed by Reg E - Customer Protection on EFT transactions. BofA is attempting to recover my funds, but they do not issue provisional credit and will take the full 45 days to investigate. I have also filed a police report ( XXXX ) with the XXXX Police Department, Officer XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; ( XXXX ). Also at issue is XXXX- they have NO direct access for consumers to report issues. They only have an on-line form to submit a complaint. My friend 's XXXX account was hacked and taken over and she had no ability to access and notify others of the scam she was subjected to. In hindsight, I realize I should have called her to confirm but since she was replying to me about the purchase of the truck, I had no reason to believe it wasn't her. Until this morning when I realized it was NOT her.

Company: Velocity Portfolio Group
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday, XXXX XXXX, 2024, at approximately XXXX am, someone knocked on my door and served me a court document about a fraudulent account that was opened in my name stating CKS Prime Investments , LLC VS XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I asked the person what this was about, they mentioned that a credit card company named XXXX was trying to sue me or collect a debt for which I have no knowledge. This credit card was taken out with XXXX and then sent to a collection agency called CKS Prime Investments. On Monday. I called CKS Prime Investments to understand the situation. They couldn't assist me and directed me to contact to their attorney, XXXX. CKS Prime investment also mentioned that they are also called XXXX. When I called XXXX, they asked if the account was fraudulent, and I confirmed it was since I hadn't opened it or have ever heard of this credit card company. They began detailing the purchases made with the credit card, including transactions at XXXX and payments to XXXX. I immediately knew it was fraud because I have never used my card to pay the light bill ; my siblings used to handle that, and now my spouse does. So, was certain the account was fraudulent. XXXX informed me that they would send a fraud document form for me to fill out and return, but I have not received said document as yet. They said the company would then investigate the source of the fraud. That concluded my conversation with the attorney. I am writing to see if there is anything you can do to help, as this is the second court document I have received for a fraudulent account in my name. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you very much for your support and understanding in this fraudulent situation.
