Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a credit card from the captive issuer of Sam 's Club, Sychrony Bank. Sam 's Club automatically renewed my membership and charged the credit card even though I never used that card for any charges. I cancelled the renewal, but the credit charge was not reversed. The online capabilities of both Sam 's Club and Synchrony Bank were useless in correcting the errors. The bank wanted paper submissions, and archaic practice in the computer age ( and hard when one does not buy stamps anymore ). Synchrony reported that I was delinquent. When the charge was finally reversed, Synchrony did not correct the reporting error and my credit rating with XXXX was lowered. Both the automatic renewal and the bank 's obstructions on accepting disputes are abusive and coercive.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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. 


EQUIFAX 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 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 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

State: IL

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 XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to close one of my credit cards with them. After an exceptionally long hold I was told the wrong card was closed and she had to escalate to reopen the card. She did not at ANY point tell me there was a credit inquiry to reopen the card SHE closed in ERROR. Approximately 5 minutes after the call ended I received an alert that there was a hard pull on all 3 credit bureaus. I checked and my score dropped an average of XXXX points across bureaus. I called back and was nonchalantly advised it would take 10-15 days to fix their mistake. This is unacceptable and I consider this an unauthorized credit pull that two representatives had the opportunity to tell me about and neither did. It is highly unethical and may impact my interest rates on buying a house or a car for the next 3-4 months. Something needs to be done about this unethical practice of pulling credit without notifying the costumer, because I would have told them to leave the card closed because I dont actually use eitheXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX card on a regular basis and pay around XXXX annually. The rep was very well aware that I was contemplating closing that card too because I TOLD her. So, she had made a promo points offer to keep the card. Which makes it even more unethical not to provide me with a choice in the matter of pulling MY credit. Contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX case # XXXX and his supervisor XXXX. I dont know the two female reps names who caused the issue.
