Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I made a late payment for the first time since I have had my card with Citi. Over 10 years. I mistakenly forgot to make a payment last week and once I remembered, I immediately made the payment and contacted Citi. I noticed that they increased my APR by over 10 percent. I assumed that they would allow a little grace since this is the first time I have ever done something like this. They denied me, despite my payment history and the circumstances, and told me I was going to have to request the reduction in a YEAR. This is predatory and unreasonable. I need the CFPBs help in making this right, please.

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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a credit card by Synchrony Bank in the store, which was compromised within XXXX hours of being approved. The fraudulent purchasing activity occurred in California, while I reside in Texas. I have never received or used the actual credit card in question. Upon discovering the unauthorized charges, I immediately contacted Synchrony Bank and closed the account. Despite assurances from their representatives that the fraudulent charges would be reversed and the account balance adjusted to {$0.00}, interest continued to accrue on the fraudulent amounts. I also immediately returned the items that I had purchased to the same store, the woman who had initiated the credit card application and subsequent approval had told me that she had just moved to Texas from California. My returned items on this now closed account was also never reversed, along with the California purchases. The account was closed before I receive an actual plastic card. I did however spend many hours on the phone with Synchrony credit services and was assured that the {$0.00} balance along with interest removed would be seen in the next billing cycle. This never happened and Synchrony Bank kept charging interest on the fraudulent purchases as well as the full amount of the items returned when I discovered the fraudulent purchases in California on the same date as my original in store credit card application. 

I have substantial documentation, including statements and recorded conversations with Synchrony Bank representatives, confirming that the charges were a result of identity theft. All agents acknowledged the fraudulent nature of the transactions and assured me that the account would be rectified. However, Synchrony Bank failed to honor these assurances, and the account was improperly reported as a bad debt to credit reporting agencies.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.
