Consumer complaint received 2023-02-11 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a previous complaint to XXXX about this issue, however the complaint was ignored as their response appeared to be in response to a separate complaint. Therefore I am resubmitting the complaint with TWO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS that I except XXXX to respond to : 1. I was a perfect customer of yours for 3 years of a lease, never missing a payment. When the lease was finalized in XX/XX/XXXX, I turned in the vehicle and bought a different make from the dealership. Then much later, in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX charged me a fee and said they would have waived it if I had gotten a XXXX. Nine months earlier, nobody mentioned this fee or offered to waive it if I got another XXXX. Also, ignoring the fact that I have a receipt showing I pre-paid the turn-in fee, my question is this : why does XXXX think its appropriate to take 9 months to invoice a customer, then while that customer attempts to call-in and confirm the accuracy of the charge, XXXX instantly begins reporting late payments to the credit agencies? Why can XXXX take an unreasonable amount of time to submit an invoice, and not afford the customer a single day to understand where this charge is coming from ( especially when XXXX was unresponsive during the pandemic and it was difficult to receive responses )? 2. The process to have XXXX honor the terms of the agreement was extremely unpleasant. After months of attempting to get through to XXXX, I realized it was not worth my time and effort, so I decided to simply pay the invoice ( for the second time ). I spoke to a representative who confirmed any negative remarks would be removed from my credit report if the fee was paid. Therefore, I paid the fee and provided proof of payment to XXXX. Unfortunately they continue to ignore this payment. So the question is : why do you ignore this payment and refuse to update the remarks to the credit reporting agencies? While it was unethical to immediately report late payments to your seriously delinquent issuance of the fee, it is absolutely immoral and illegal to lie about not receiving payment. Since the actual complaint questions have been ignored in the past, I just want to reiterate so there's no confusion about what questions XXXX should be responding to : 1. Why can you take 9 months and issue a delinquent invoice, but the customer has no time to confirm the accuracy? 2. Why are you refusing to acknowledge that payment was made, even though I have submitted proof of payment made on XX/XX/XXXX?

Complaint narrative:
My first letters to the credit bureaus regarding this account were in XX/XX/2022 and I have sent out letters each month since. This account is fraudulent and has been in dispute since I first seen it around labor day last year but according to the credit bureaus they have it listed as not in dispute and remains unverified in the last several months. How is this possible if I have sent repeated letters to each bureau disputing this as well as letter to the alleged creditor. These are all violations of my rights under Title 15USC1681 and I demand that CFPB investigate this. Each bureau had 30 days to verify the account and not only did they send me letters stating it was verified but yet on their own report it states that there has been no verification and it is not in dispute. I have copied the XXXX FTC and the Attorney General for Florida.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I purchased furniture from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX that was returned to the store in XXXX. I filled a dispute with the in house credit card by synchrony bank so that I could get it resolved. It was resolved and the dispute was finalized. The letter from synchrony stated the merchant has resolved the dispute with three refund amounts XXXX for XXXX dollars XXXX for XXXX and XXXX for XXXX. There was an overpayment on the account at this point and a check was cut and sent to me. In XX/XX/XXXX they charged me again for {$520.00}, even though I made no other purchases. I have filled dispute and fraud claims several times since then. At this point the XXXX amount is lost to history and they claim I owe XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX which they continue to add fees to. They refuse to provide info to me when the account is coming off dispute so that I can re-dispute so that fees do not accumulate. 
In XXXX of XXXX Their fraud team told me that it is not a fraud charge but a billing clerical error that needs to be resolved in the normal finance team but that team continues to try and pass me off. 
After many failed attempts of disputing with them since XX/XX/XXXX and several reviews from the their internal fraud team, I am reaching out in hopes of getting some help to resolve this matter.
