Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX years ago I took out a XXXX XXXX interest loan from Lowes to build a deck. The salesman told me about the promotion and I asked him how any outstanding balance at the end would be handled. He explained to me that I would pay whatever the current interest rate was at the time. So I took out the loan paid every month on time and figured whatever small balance was left I would handle it then not giving much thought because I knew it was going to be a relatively small amount. Yesterday I was reviewing an email that I received form Lowes about my remaining balance which was XXXX and saw they added a XXXX interest charge. I immediately contacted Lowes and spoke to numerous managers and explained that not only was this not how it was sold to me but that the amount of interest is absurd. After XXXX managers and XXXX minutes on the phone the final XXXX said the best she could do was reduce the interest charge by half leaving me responsible for the difference which was XXXX. I need your help because XXXX is crazy on a XXXX which had to pay off yesterday in order to get the reduction. To make matters worse they explained to me that I had XXXX day grace period that i missed by XXXX days even thought the product I purchased was a special ordered deck which came in the wrong size and color which caused me an additional XXXX day wait time for the correct deck meaning the store should have cancelled my first charge and restarted the clock when they re-ordered they the correct deck which I was never informed of but they admitted was their employees fault. The final comment they made to me was I should contact Synchroneity bank by letter and see what they could offer. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I believe this gouging at its most egregious case.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to vigorously dispute the inaccurate reporting of a charge-off and subsequent issuance of a 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) on my credit report. This reporting has caused significant financial harm and violates my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The issuance of a 1099-C indicating a cancellation of debt totaling {$600.00} or more has resulted in the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) considering this amount taxable income. 

Furthermore, the charge-off being reported as negative information on my credit report is inaccurate and misleading. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( c ), furnishers of information to credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) have a legal obligation to report information that is 100 % accurate. Reporting this debt as a charge-off when it has been canceled is a clear violation of these provisions. 

Regional Acceptance and XXXX XXXX XXXX, in concert with XXXX XXXX XXXX, are violating the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
For the past XXXX months I've been trying to remove a Bankruptcy file from Experian, XXXX and XXXX and they have denied me with all my efforts. I started with the court that is attached to this file number, they responded by letter stating that they do not disclose these cases to credit bureaus. Simultaneously I requested a full report from XXXX XXXX and they too had a bankruptcy file on my records with them but after sending out a letter to them asking that it be removed if they could not show me where I consented to them reporting my information ; they proceeded to remove this account and also sent me an update that it had been removed. Their response ( letter from XXXX ) along with my court response was sent out to Experian, XXXX and XXXX on XXXX different occasions which they claim their resources to be accurate. Neither of these bureaus have let me know who their " sources '' are that they are receiving my personal information from and I feel as though I am entitled to know that information. This is a misuse of my personal information and has truly affected my lively hood. Looking forward to the CFPB assisting me on this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I can not give many accurate dates, times, etc because these Upgrade accounts were opened without my knowledge. I have been fighting with this company trying to explain to them that these cards or loans were opened and used using my personal information. Every time I try to explain this to the company and the credit reporting agencies, they seem to disbelieve me and side with this company automatically. I am never going to pay a debt that is fraudulent. I have explained to everyone involved that my information was stolen using a variety of unscrupulous tactics to obtain these fraudulent accounts. In the past couple of years, I have received documentation from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in Washington DC stating that my personal information has been compromised and used. Also I have received several letters from large medical facilities where I was a patient that stated that their systems were hacked and my personal information was compromised as well. These are fraudulent accounts and I am asking that they be removed from my credit reports.
