Consumer complaint received 2024-11-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been using TJX Master card for many years and practically always was paying on time. But recently this card becomes a disaster and costs me a lot of money. It started when I had a balance of XXXX and they charged me {$2.00} interest for it. More recently the Synchrony bank has introduced the fee of {$1.00} for paper statements and thus forced me and perhaps many other customers to switch to email notification instead. In my case, however, their notification went to the junk mail that i didn't see so I missed the payment for few days. That happened in XXXX. As soon as I saw it few days later, I paid the balance, but the bank refused to reimburse me the late fee and interest charge claiming that they already did it for me earlier in XXXX when i was late for one day. I have no record of this in my credit card statement but in any case, it seems as not the reason to punish someone if a payment missed a deadline for few hours. In addition to that, they continue to charge me next month when i did not even had a balance, they still charge me {$1.00} interest. Altogteher they overcharged me {$32.00} ( {$27.00} late fee, the rest is interest for 3 months ), and I am not sure if there will be another charge this coming month. This has to stop and my money refunded to me. This new rule of forcing people to paperless statement is discriminating to senior people who are not very computer savvy. And it is dangerous to rely on email delivery. All my other credit cards are sending me paper bills and I always pay them after checking if the charge is correct.

Company: MOHELA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am a 100 % XXXX vet and have received a letter from the VA that my student loans have been forgiven. I received information from the VA that a letter would be provided to my Student Loan holder ( MOHELA/XXXX  ) so they can update their records and settle my loan. After waiting over a month, I filed a dispute with the credit agencies and once the dispute was complete, XXXX updated the status of my loan ; however, the other two agencies provided a statement saying that my loan status was updated. After viewing the updated status, it just stated that my loan was being paid on time, however, no payments had been made and I still owe the full amount of the loan. I contacted the credit agencies and they told me to contact the Loan provider. I contacted the Loan provider and they told me they no longer have my loan and the credit agencies were wrong. I requested documentation and was told they could not provide it, but it should be reflected on my credit report because they no longer held my loan. I filed another dispute with the two credit reporting agencies and it has now been well over 30 days and there has not been an update to the status of the loan other than a dispute was filed. Now each time I try to check for an updated status. I am locked out of my credit account for no reason. I want these loans removed from my account as I have provided them information that shows the VA has paid these loans. I also would like an update to the credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
