Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have a Synchrony Home account, and I am disputing my current balance because it does not align with the payments I have made. Here is the situation : In XX/XX/XXXX, my account balance was {$660.00}. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I added a promotional purchase of {$670.00} with a 12-month no-interest period, bringing my total balance to {$1300.00}. 
Since XXXX, I have consistently made minimum monthly payments ( approximately {$30.00} {$35.00} each month ) and have paid {$610.00} toward the promotional balance. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I only owe {$65.00} on the promotional purchase. 
However, my total balance as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$810.00}, which is higher than my XX/XX/XXXX balance, despite having made the following payments : {$610.00} toward the promotional balance ( leaving only {$65.00} remaining ). 
Minimum payments on my previous balance every month. 
The numbers do not add up. After paying off almost the entire promotional balance ( {$670.00} ), my remaining balance should be {$640.00} at most ( subtracting {$670.00} from {$1300.00} ), assuming no additional purchaseswhich I have not made. Despite this, my current balance is {$810.00}. 

I also see no noticeable decrease in my balance from the minimum payments Ive made every month. While I understand that most minimum payments go toward interest, there should still be at least a small reduction in my balance over time. Instead, I am seeing the opposite : an increase in my balance. 

To clarify, I destroyed this card earlier this year due to repeated issues with XXXX, and I have not made any additional purchases. There appears to be either a significant error in how my payments are being applied or inappropriate charges/interest being added to my account.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, PA XXXX To Whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The accounts in question are listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX Bank XXXX Bank XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the monthly charge-off results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, significantly harming my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. 
I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and confirm these corrections for me. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX. XXXX

It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored.

This one needs to be as well. 

I have requested a discharge form from each company and have been given several different responses on who actually owns the loan and who I should be retrieving information from. Now they are refusing to send me an application for discharge. Both XXXX and XXXX have refused to send me the application via email nd I'm trying to retrieve the information from Earnest who referred me to both prior. 
This situation has been made extremely confusing. 
I simple want to know who I should be ultimately dealing with, where I can get the discharge application sent to me from, and have that application actually sent to me so I can apply and have it for my own documentation,
