Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX credit card, which is handled by Synchrony bank. I 'm receiving abusive and harassing phone calls from Synchrony bank from the phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is a skype number. Collection activity has been outsourced to people in XXXX, in the XXXX. They are obviously not aware of the FDCPA, because when I asked if they knew about it, they said no. I asked because they have violated the law multiple times with me. First, they call me FOUR times daily, every day for the past week. That 's harassment. Second, I asked them to cease contact, as I am aware of the debt. Further, the debt was n't even 2 months delinquent. Even after I made a payment for the past due amount, the rep demanded I make a payment for the remaining amount which was n't even due until XXXX/XXXX/2015, XXXX payment was made on XXXX/XXXX/2015, the next due date was on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) or the calls would continue. This is also in violation of the FDCPA. Contact has not been stopped.

Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS)
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
A " bad check '' legal debt collection efforts - No phone calls and only one letter from collection agency indicating the proper debt. After 33 days another threatening letter directly from XXXX XXXX 's Attorney 's Check Enforcement Program threatening criminal charges and forced payment of excessive penalties and charges for a " Financial Training '' scam class - all to avoid prosecution for a single late paid " bad check '' debt. 
The " bad check debt '' of {$36.00} plus a penalty of {$50.00} was paid directly to the collection company in full settlement of the debt precisely 6 days from the date of the notice from the XXXX 's Attorney 's Office. No other liability exists other then to the " XXXX XXXX '' XXXX leveled against me by this collection agency. 
I find this entire matter reprehensible and the collection agencies methods to be totally out of bounds with regulatory authority. 
Further, I feel that without proper notice ( only XXXX correspondence letters received ) and disclosure - They have stepped out line and the agency is improperly using a state 's attorney 's office to both harass and penalize a " debtor '' over a collected and paid debt/mistake. 
I can supply all correspondence and copies of payments made should you require that detail. 
Lastly I think this collection agency is using the State 's Attorney 's office improperly and very likely illegally to collect a debt not within the authority of XXXX XXXX. In my opinion XXXX XXXX office is being played like a sucker and a chump by this collection agency.

Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS)
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The reason I am complaining to day is because I went to XXXX XXXX union to close on a loan and when they went to establish membership for me and got a copy of my chexsystems file they denied me based on information that they received from Chexsystems. XXXX is saying that there is an account with XXXX XXXX reporting a {$52.00} charge off. I have never conducted business with this company and I called them to verify with my social if they have me in there system? and they had no record of any account with my social. I contacted the chex systems phone number and gave the representative my information and he was able to pull up my file but found no record of any account reporting a charge off in my name. The bank is requesting a letter from chex systems stating that their are no negative charge offs showing on my report. Chex systems is telling me they will be mailing me my file but this is not going to help me as I am on a time limit in approval for this loan that I have been approved. My father and my brother carry the same name and I am afraid that my information might be getting mixed when financial institutions pull my file. This needs to be addressed with chexsystems.

Company: Frost-Arnett Company

Complaint narrative:
I received a Collection notice from Frost -Arnett Company dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 for the amount of {$70.00} in regards to a debt owed to XXXX . This amount was sent to collections without any prior notice to me from the XXXX even when I was making regular monthly payments on my account ( see attached documentation ). 

Because I am disputing the reason this was sent to collection, XXXX AND Frost -Arnett Company should not report it to any credit reporting agencies. If they have already reported any debt, please contact the credit reporting agencies, inform them that I was making payments and that the reported debt in dispute should be deleted from my credit report.

This is in reference to a previously submitted complaint XXXXXXXXCDI Affiliated services resolution is to simply state that the account has been flagged as disputed on the consumer 's credit profile.

I have been victimized by an identity thief. They established several loans in my name and opened several checking accounts with credit unions and banks in order to withdraw funds from loans obtained fraudulently.

Complaint narrative:
Please see attached again. My funds have still not been applied correctly and I went thru the fees. Also as their attorney said BSI apologizes for claiming a request was a QWR when it was an appeal does not make it ok. I want my fees applied correctly as requested and the statement does not even show the extra XXXX claimed to not be applied. I would never know what was not applied without constantly having to question everything. It should have been XXXX not XXXX extra. I am so tired of this run around. I want my funds applied as directed plain and simple. If BSI bought this loan it is their responsibility not mine to prove fees. In regards to XXXX maybe they should realize XXXX never responded to any QWR I sent them. Never mailed me statements or anything. I found out they bought from XXXX months later and I contacted them asking for info. They never sent me a statement or fees or anything. The only thing they ever said is that they are working on XXXX modification that was sent. Never a fee, Never a response to QWR NOTHIONG!!

Complaint narrative:
I tried responding as a despute but I kept getting an error. 

Case number : XXXX My response today I have been charged NSF fees, {$45.00} to be exact, but that is not the issue I am complaining about. In almost every statement there is charged called a billed finance charge that has added up to {$1000.00}. There were a few approximately XXXX different months when I receive a NSF due to too many things going through my account. I paid them when everything cleared on my account. The NSF issue was resolved by charging me the XXXX charges of {$15.00} as you can see in the statements. I 've been faithfully paying and my payments, and so far I have invested XXXX {$3600.00} into this. Almost a third of that money has been taken by these billed finance charges. I keep getting harassed and contacted by Borrowers First, urging me to give them money, yet they still have not even addressed the obvious large charges on this account. In addition why would my payments suddenly go from {$290.00} to {$620.00}? 

Payments XXXX NSF XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX*XXXX XXXX XXXX The companies previous response/ what I am responding to. 

XXXX has researched XXXX complaint and has determined that this loan has been paid down from its original balance. The original loan amount was {$7500.00} and the pre-paid finance charge was {$370.00} ; therefore, the amount originally owed was {$7800.00}. XXXX current loan balance shows as {$6700.00}. Additionally, by reviewing the monthly statements submitted to the CFPB and XXXX account, the loan has not negatively amortized. He has incurred many NSF fees which has added to the overall outstanding balance of the loan, but these NSF fees have not caused negative amortization of the loan.

Complaint narrative:
My deceased wife passed away in 2011. I then found out I was a victim of identity theft. I went to the police and was cleared of all the fraudulent activity as well as criminal activity. I went to court when the banks were claiming that I might have used an alias and proved that I did not. TeleCheck is breaking the law by reporting information from a bank that is reporting to TeleCheck an account that 's already been proven by the police to be fraud and not belonging to me. When TeleCheck refused two remove this reporting hi then had my attorney send a letter to them. TeleCheck said that they could not discuss this with my attorney without a power of attorney even though that I gave permission for the attorney to talk to Telecheck to Telecheck in writing and on the phone. TeleCheck is breaking the law and trying to say that because the bank is reporting it to them they have a right to report it even though I prove to Telecheck that it was fraudulent. I 've given TeleCheck all four parts of 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to show that they should remove that reporting of that fraudulent account. TeleCheck is acting Above the Law and claiming their policies overwrite the law and give them or right to break the law. My claim to them is that they have to follow the law and their policies have to abide by the law.
