On XX/XX/ I submitted dispute letters to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX for the accounts XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. All three bureaus came back stating that all the accounts were updated and verified. On XX/XX/ I submitted a method of verification letter asking them to provide me with proof that these items were verified and if they were unable to provide that information that I would like the items deleted immediately. All that each bureau sent was an itemized breakdown which is not proof of verification. Reporting these inaccuracies are hindering me from getting employed. Please assist me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I did a kitchen renovation through Lowes, and as part of that process, I signed up for a Lowes credit card ( through Synchrony ) because they offered a six month deferral on payment an interest for the renovation costs. In the meantime, I used the credit card for a few small purchases at Lowes stores. This last month, I paid the amount to cover the minimum payment on the deferred portion plus the entire amount to cover the in-store purchases. They did not credit the amount for the in-store purchases against those purchases though. They credited it against the deferred balance, so the amount for the in-store purchases accrued interest at a rate of 26.99 %, which came to {$44.00}. I contacted Lowes, but they refuse to credit the amount paid against the recent purchases and remove the interest charges.

Company: AES/PHEAA

Complaint narrative:
I requested that my account be reviewed as the total number of eligible payments were not accurately totaled when my loan forgiveness was issued. I am due a refund which I have requested several times and have not received. 

I called PHEAA ( Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ) a few months ago to place this request over the phone and I have not heard back. I never cashed the {$25.00} check that was issued to me and I do no plan to as there has been a lot of harm that has resulted from not having been issued loan forgiveness in a timely manner as well as not having received the refund which is due to me in a timely manner. I have called the phone number on the letters sent to me from PHEAA many times and there is no answer. It rings once and then the line is disconnected. The phone number supplied : XXXX is not a working number.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Navy Federal Credit Union, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request a refund of {$310.00} that was charged to my checking account yesterday. As a dedicated member of your institution, I have always trusted in your commitment to providing exceptional service. 

Unfortunately, I recently experienced some unexpected and difficult circumstances related to my father 's health. As a result, I was not aware that the assistance I received would come at a cost, and I can not afford the additional fee at this time. I am barely able to stay afloat financially, as I am constantly traveling back and forth to the hospital and trying to provide for my XXXX young boys. 

I am deeply saddened by the way I was treated over the phone by supervisor XXXX and XXXX. They were not understanding of my situation and made me feel humiliated for asking for help. I understand that mistakes can happen, and I am hoping that you can find it in your hearts to assist me during this difficult time. 

I appreciate your understanding and look forward to resolving this situation as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
