Company: Synovus Bank
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Two names were on the title of the property. One of the persons on the title was employed with the loaning company called Synovus. That person received a loan with only that person 's signature ( the above listed person ) and the other person on the title did NOT sign in XX/XX/XXXX. The signee is now going bankrupt ( the only individual that signed for the loan ). There has been no release of the loan off of the property. In XX/XX/XXXX, no title search was done to determine if there was more than one person on the title. No title searches were done on the original loan or either of the renewals. In XX/XX/XXXX she renewed the notes on the property and the bank assigned rent. There is a possibility of repossession of the property against the person whose signature is missing from the loan. Later in XX/XX/XXXX a quick claim to the person whose signature is not on the XX/XX/XXXX loan was filed. The person who borrowed the money filed a quick claim to the other listed person on the title ( who never signed on any of the loans ).

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
As of XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to obtain a receipt for each payment I've made to them regarding my debt with XXXX XXXX. This account was settled with my final payment of [ {$180.00} ] being made on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The payments I made to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, were done by phone and while they recently sent me an account settlement letter, indicating that my debt with XXXX XXXX is settled, when I asked the representative for receipts for the payments I've made to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, he told me that he could not do that. 

I explained that I didn't receive receipts for my payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but only the few accounts letters he acknowledged that were sent, but which only indicated my account balance and my final payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The most recent letter I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, also shows a Total Balance Due of [ {$94.00} ], despite the fact that my account was settled on XX/XX/XXXX, and while it was explained to me that amount reflected a remaining so-called " savings balance '' after agreeing to their settlement offer, the way it appears in this statement from them, could easily be misconstrued as indicating that I still owe an outstanding balance. 

In light of this fact as well as the fact that I've never received receipts from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I implored the representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I'm entitled to a receipt of payment for each transaction I made to them and that, specifically, this is what I was requesting, to which he continued to assert that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had issued, when in fact, I have NOT received any receipt for any of the payments I've made to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I know, by law, I am entitled to a receipt for any transaction I make, and before my XXXX XXXX debt was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, it was being managed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, of whom always provided a receipt of payment to me, along with a confirmation number, for every payment I made to them as collection on the debt I originally owed to XXXX XXXX. Even before my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account was sent to their own collection department, XXXX XXXX itself, also always provided me with a receipt of payment for every payment I made. 

To date XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is refusing to provide me with receipts for the payments I made to settle my outstanding debt with XXXX XXXX. This is why I am now reaching out to the CFPB, because I need help ascertaining this information I am legally entitled to, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I have been communicating with XXXX since last year. The last letter I sent last XX/XX/XXXX, requesting debt validation. XXXX responded last XX/XX/XXXX. The burden of proof is on XXXX and not mine.

I called the credit bureau Equifax to get the status of my dispute that was filed and XX/XX/2018. After speaking with a customer service rep I was told that the item in question was deleted from my account however it was placed back on XX/XX/2018.
