Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that have been made on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permissible purpose, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), a hard inquiry may only be made if there is a legitimate permissible purpose, such as a credit application that I explicitly authorized. I have not applied for credit or authorized any of the following companies to access my credit report : These inquiries were not initiated or approved by me in any capacity. I have contacted the credit reporting agency ( [ Experian/Equifax/TransUnion ] ) to dispute these inquiries and demand their removal. However, no satisfactory resolution has been provided. 

The continued reporting of these inquiries without proof of authorization is a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA and potentially opens these companies and the credit bureaus to civil liability. Hard inquiries can lower my credit score and affect my ability to obtain credit therefore, this is not a trivial issue.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I hold a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card through Synchrony Bank. My father has a completely separate Lowes credit card account with Synchrony. We are not joint users and have no authorized relationship. Despite this, both of us could see each others account information when logged into our own accounts including balances, transactions, and personal data. 

This privacy breach lasted over XXXX  days. I opened my account on XX/XX/year> and discovered the issue on XX/XX/XXXX. My father saw my account earlier but assumed it was a mistake. 

I reported the breach via secure message on XX/XX/XXXX. Synchrony responded with a vague message and no written resolution. I followed up on XX/XX/XXXX, asked for all communication to remain in writing, and introduced a compensation request. 

Since then, Ive received multiple generic replies, XXXX voicemails asking for a phone call ( which I declined ), and a letter on XX/XX/XXXX saying the matter is still under investigation and may take up to 60 more days. The letter did not confirm the breach, explain what happened, or acknowledge my request for compensation. 

I have documented all communication. Synchronys message system limits messages to 500 characters, which has made it difficult to describe the full scope of this issue and the impact it has had on me. 

I am requesting compensation of {$1500.00} for : A privacy breach lasting over XXXX  days Exposure of sensitive financial data Lack of transparency or acknowledgment Emotional distress, wasted time, and poor customer service I have given Synchrony more than enough time to respond appropriately. I believe this is a fair and proportionate resolution.

They said the claims were automatically flagged by the system, so I submitted a new claim with all 8 of the transactions on one with a representative on monday. 
They then said that a credit would be put back onto my account while they investigate which can be up to 4 days which I still have not received. They told me they would do this while they investigated before, but the cases ended up being closed without any resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I have a student loan that is being serviced by EdFinancial Services. On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied to switch from a SAVE Plan to an Income-Based Repayment ( IBR ) Plan due to litigation blocking forgiveness for borrowers signed up for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) Program. However, EdFinancial Services has not processed my application or responded to emails about status updates on my IBR Application. There has been no acknowledgment or anything of the email inquiry. 

The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been unable to process my buyback request or PSLF Application ( which I applied for on XX/XX/XXXX ) due to EdFinancial 's inability to timely process my IBR Application since XX/XX/XXXX. I need for EdFinancial to process my IBR Application so that I can obtain qualifying payments for the PSLF Program. They had ample time before the pause in XXXX of this year to process and then had time after the pause was lifted in XXXX to process that application and they have held it up blocking me from obtaining qualifying payments. If they need to hire temps to help process these applications, that's what they should do. Or they need to modernize their computer systems to process these applications automatically without humans.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I have had a Capital One credit card for many years. I've always stayed well within my credit limit. I've always paid on time. I am now XXXX years old and on a fixed income. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from Capital One titled, " Your credit limit might change. '' Then, I received a letter with the same date and message. 

The short version of that message? Because I have stayed well within my credit limit " over the last several months '' ( as I always have ), Capital One has scheduled an " account review '' for XX/XX/year> and announced that my credit limit may be decreased as a result. Ah, but : " You can opt out of this review if you anticipate the spending activity on this account to change. '' On Wednesday, XX/XX/year>, I called the number on the letter. It was not easy to get past the automated voice that did not offer me the option to talk to a person. Finally, I spoke with a customer service rep and then with a man who called himself an account manager. I told each one my situation. I told them the message I'm getting is : " Dear longtime customer, spend significantly more money on this card, regardless your financial situation, if you don't want us to penalize you in a way that may hurt your credit score. '' Neither contradicted my assessment. Both told me they could do nothing to help me. The second man told me there was no one else to whom I can appeal.
