Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX charges began to occur on my Venmo/Synchrony Bank XXXX The first one was Amazon in the amount of {$71.00}. The company actually called me and asked me if I made any charges and I said NO. I said Please do NOT allow any charges that are unauthorized. They proceeded to allow thousands and thousands of charges to go through. Some of them they have refunded but there is still a balance of Fraudulent charges in the amount of {$1300.00}. ALL charges since XX/XX/XXXX through end of XXXX are fraudulent. I did not allow ANY. I have called the company well over 30 times and escalated the issue repeatedly and nothing is accomplished. I have hired a lawyer as well because this is flat out robbery, and I will not stand for it. I have over 50 emails from them sending me in circles with nothing getting accomplished. They keep telling me to wait 3 - 5 more business days. Wait more. Etc. It has now been 4 months. This is not acceptable and I need the charges credited back immediately. Totally inexcusable and I have let everyone know to STEER CLEAR of Synchrony. I hope they make this right.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely. Please see below the items I am concerned of : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted several disputes to all 3 major credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX ) in regards to this MIDLAND CREDIT collection account and the numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies reported on this account by all 3 bureaus. I have requested verification and validity of this alleged debt from the XXXX bureaus and the collection agency directly. I keep getting notifications from all three bureaus stating that the information on this collection has been " verified '' and is " accurate '' when you blatantly see the inconsistent and inaccurate items being reported on this account that I will detail. First and foremost, XXXX is currently reporting this account as OPEN! and 120 days PAST DUE, on a collection account! XXXX is also reporting a date of last payment! I have NEVER made any payment on this account as I deny it is mine. a collection is by DEFAULT late and past due. The sole fact that this collection is reporting 120 days late and open is a complete error and FCRA violation. Furthermore, XXXX is also reporting this collection as an OPEN account. Lastly, XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. Pursuant to the FCRA I am entitled to fair and 100 % accurate reporting. These egregious errors are ruining my life and the fact that the bureaus failed to acknowledge or rectify these reporting errors and verified them as accurate is astonishing to me and I demand relief.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I sent my letter on XX/XX/2023 asking the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. 

According to the FRCA, the term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law? Also, many pieces of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate and according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681, everything has to be 100 % accurate. I have attached the credit report showing the inaccuracies and inconsistencies. How have the credit bureaus verified these accounts if they are showing so many discrepancies on fundamental pieces of information such as addresses, date account opened, balances. 
I asked the credit bureaus to share their method of verification and validation of these accounts, but they failed to respond.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I consolidated my loans back in XXXX. I was not placed on the XXXX plan as requested. I had to call 3 times to find out why and was told repeatedly that is the plan I requested and I should be on it. Then it turned out I needed to submit more information ( that I already submitted when I consolidated ) so I did that. While in this process I asked for all documentation related to my loans and my consolidation- they did not send me what I requested. 

My payment amount came out to be about $ XXXX nowhere near what student aid states it should be for the XXXX plan. Student aid says my payment should be between {$400.00} and $ XXXX that is calculated with higher income than Nelnet is using. I called again. Nelnet stated that the amount was wrong and I needed to submit a new application. They could not do it online. I had to fill out a paper application and upload it. Once I was moved to SAVE, they told me my payment would be {$1200.00}. Again SIGNIFICANTLY higher that student aid. 

I am now in a forbearance collecting {$40.00} a day in interest. I can not afford the {$1200.00} a month payment- I work in public service and have XXXX kids.
