Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
The checking account that I use to pay this credit with was hacked twice. This is a checking account that is held a XXXX XXXX. Due to the account being compromised, I had to close the checking account, causing my automatic payment to not be sent. I have written two letters to the creditor to address this issue. The issue is that there are late payments on my credit report for something that was out of my control. I would like to have this addressed and to have the negative information removed from my credit report. The creditor is Syncrony Bank, who administers the credit cards for XXXX XXXX. I also believe that Syncrony 's billing practices are unfair. With synchrony, you are penalized for making your payment early. Synchrony posts the payment incorrectly so that the account payment is late and the consumer is charged a late fee.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
For the past month, I have been trying to get a total of 18 hard inquiries removed from my credit report that i did not authorized. The inquiries and unauthorized dates are listed below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX ( Wednesday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX  XXXX  ( Friday XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX-XXXX  ( Monday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  ( Monday, XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( Monday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX ( Monday, XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX  ( Monday, XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Monday, XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( Friday, XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( Wednesday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( wednesday, XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX  ( wednesday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX  XXXX ( wednesday, XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( monday, XX/XX/XXXX ). I sent dispute letters to Equifax to verify these inquiries and the information comes back verified. I called and they prompted me to call Each creditor to retrieve a '' Letter of Deletion ''. When i called the creditor to request a letter of deletion, Each creditor informed me that there is no record of a '' XXXX XXXX '' in their system. So, I sent Equifax another letter to verify their method of verification and requested specific details to ensure verification and Equifax failed to do so ; these inquiries again came back as verified. I called the bureaus again to seek further assistance in these inquiry deletions and no one seems to help resolve this matter. As a consumer, I feel my rights have been compromised and violated. I have done all that was requested of me and feel devalued as a consumer and customer of Equifax. At the time of these inquiries, I was and still is in college and was not seeking credit of any sort. Please remove these inquiries as requested. They were not authorized.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I took my kids checks ( earned from small XXXX  XXXX  jobs that pay per day so we had several checks per kid, and they wanted cash ) to the -issuing bank-, Wells Fargo . They asked if I had an account there to deposit them, and I said no, I just wanted them cashed. They charged me {$7.00} per check without informing me that it would be a charge. I find this a ridiculously predatory fee, and predatory in how it was carried out. It amounted to more than 10 % of the checks amounts. From the bank who issued the checks, the bank that can check its own customers accounts in real time if desired, and assumes virtually no risk in cashing the checks. Even XXXX checking services charges less. 

How can a bank charge to cash its own checks?

Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EOS Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2020 EOS CCA allegedly took over my student loan debt, however I was never given information as to how or why this happened. This company is a scam. Its a disgrace. After not contacting me for several months, I finally got in contact with the company and made an income-based payment plan in order to protect my co-sign and his ability to buy a house. Theyve refused to comply in sending a written confirmation of my debt or payment history, something my co-sign needed in order to close a mortgage. Their online payment portal has inaccurate information about my payment history. Theyve neglected to update my credit report to include details of my payment history despite multiple requests. 
Theyve illegally spoken to relatives of mine regarding my debt without consent. 
Theyve denied service to me when Ive called to manage my debt, saying the right employee was not available, the person with access or ability to handle my complaints or requests was out of office, or by saying that the company was in transition and my information was not readily accessible. After several phone calls in which representatives lied about sending me emails, written letters, and faxes, the company has now fully ghosted me. The last I called they said they had no knowledge of my account in their system and it must be a data entry issue. I dont even know what to do here. This account is ruining my credit and has ruined my relationship to my co-sign, who is like family. This company is ruining my life. All of these requests were made and I was lied to with agreements on recorded phone lines. It is just so ridiculous. I just want it to go away.
