Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I opened this credit card when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX to cover an emergency vet procedure. I had the card for about XXXX years, using it exclusively for vet visits, and made the minimum payment each month since that was all I could afford. It wasnt until XXXX that I began closely reviewing my bill and noticed something concerning : despite making consistent payments, my balance hadnt decreased at all. 

When I reviewed my statement from XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered a {$57.00} " Card Security '' charge. I immediately contacted Care Credit to inquire about this fee, as I had never knowingly signed up for such a service and requested an immediate refund. Afterward, I began reviewing older statements and found that Care Credit had been charging me for a " Card Security Fee '' every monthwithout my knowledge or consent. 

I contacted Care Credit over the phone and asked them to provide all of my statements since I opened the card. They declined, saying they could only send a portion of the statements. However, through a live chat, I was able to ask when the first " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' was applied to my account, and they confirmed that it began on XX/XX/XXXX. I have a screenshot of this interaction. 

From the paper statements I do have, it's clear that the " XXXX XXXX '' charge appeared every month, varying depending on the balance. For example : On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged {$3.00}. 
By XX/XX/XXXX, the charge had increased to {$19.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, the fee was {$28.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, it dropped to {$16.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX it rose again to {$22.00} By XX/XX/XXXX, it rose again to {$29.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged {$57.00}. 
Finally, by XX/XX/XXXX, the fee was {$57.00}. 

Over time, the " Card Security Fee '' grew from being barely noticeable to exceeding my minimum payment. This prompted me to call and request a full refund for all past charges. I argued that my balance would have been paid off long ago if I hadn't been charged this interest-based security fee for nearly a decade.

Complaint narrative:
I set up an Experian account on XX/XX/year>. I recently wished to freeze my credit report and attempted to log in and do so. My password was rejected which I thought must be because I had not logged in for over three years. I attempted to follow the instructions on the Experian website to recover or reset my password. I entered my username, SSN, telephone number as requested. The response was that my information did not match their records and I should call their telephone number to get help. None of my information has changed since I last logged in. When I called the telephone number I got an AI response that ultimately suggested I use the website to reset my password. There is not option to speak to a human being. This created a circular loop of website directing the user to call the XXXX XXXX  and the AI assistant at that number suggesting I use the website. I am not the only person who has had this problem. I thought the website might be down and tried it over the course of a week to no avail. I checked the website downdector.com to see if the site was down. It was not but I found this comment from XXXX XXXX a month ago, which is precisely my experience : " The other two credit sites were very easy. I have wasted over an hour trying to freeze my account with experian. It appears they is not way to do it online as it continuoiusly refers me to a phone number to call. At that number there is and " AI '' that is anything but intelligent and it consinuously says the only way it can be done is throught the website. So the process is a circular loop that can never be broken out of. '' It took only minutes to freeze my credit on XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX but Experian is unworkable. It is intolerable that one of the three national credit bureaus has such lousy customer service. So much of our financial life depends on the work they do and to not be able to reach a human being via phone, chat, or email when the website does not allow a password reset is unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Processed on Time : I made the payment on time, but it was not credited correctly, resulting in a late payment entry. I have attached the payment receipt and a bank statement showing that the payment was made well before the due date.

System Error : I had set up automatic payments through my bank, and this particular payment was deducted from my account on time. It appears there was a technical issue between my bank and XXXX XXXX, which caused the delay in posting the payment. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
