Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I realized in XXXX that my promotional interest rate on the above account expired in XXXX and I was charged {$1000.00} interest ( 30 % rate back to the initial charge ), XXXX finance charges of {$53.00} and {$53.00} plus a late fee of {$30.00} since the minimum balance was underpaid by {$1.00}. the original charge was {$3000.00} ish. This was an unfortunate mistake since we were on a paperless account and I never received emailed statements, we were set up on autopay and have paid {$75.00} on time every month since XXXX. This really stings because we had such a horrible experience with the door that was charged on this credit card. We went through Lowes because of all of the shady contractors out there. Unfortunately, the Lowes subcontractor was unresponsive and the door took 7 months to get installed, failed the original inspectionion, I have pictures and a timeline detail if needed. In reality, the final inspection for the door was XXXX, XXXX so our promo rate should have started then. I immediately scheduled a bank payment of {$1100.00} which paid the original balance, in full, minus the interest charges and faxed a letter to dispute the charges. They took 15 days, denied my request to adjust the fees AND charges me another $ XXXX dollars in interest!

Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had a checking and savings account with PNC on XX/XX/year> I was over charged by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of XXXX XXXX amount was incorrect so I went to my local XXXX who printed out the correct amount that I was supposed to be charged which was XXXX. Due to PNC paying the incorrect amount it caused my account to overdraft in the amount of XXXX. After contacting PNC about the error they never allowed me to send receipts to substantiate the overpayment. Instead I was belittled and then they closed my account and stated I currently owe XXXX. I went in person where not even the bank manager was of assistance. How can a banking institution operating this manner. Horrible customer service and this affects my college children and my credit which is detrimental. As a bank follow due diligence. This is by far the worst banking experience I have ever had.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
A complaint was filed against Experian on XX/XX/year>. On XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> I attempted to log into Experian and kept receiving an error message stating that either my username or password was incorrect. I had signed in the same Experian website, using the same username and the same password as I always have but after my complaint, I can no longer access my Experian account. When I clicked on the link to change my password, I changed my password and the new password didn't work either. I changed my password 3 times and none of the passwords allowed me to access my Experian account. 

How is it that these credit bureaus have so much control over our personal information? How is it that these credit bureaus are able to allow or deny access to OUR own personal information? How is it that these credit reporting agencies allow companies to say XXXX they want about us, the consumer, even if it's not been proven. 

The credit bureaus are not here for us! They do not protect our personal information, in fact, they encourage the companies to write whatever they want and it sticks to OUR profile/report. 

I know for a fact, I am not the only person that has complained about Experian or the other bureaus. Yet, they are able to thrive and conduct business as usual with no care or concern for the human beings with defaming remarks on their credit. Those defaming remarks on credit determine what WE can and can not have as far as allowances. Doesn't seem fair. XXXX XXXX XXXX. Good or bad. The credit bureaus are worse then a XXXX  XXXX ... a XXXX XXXX will at least give BOTH parties coal in their stocking. The bureaus gives ALL the coal to the poor consumer. 

The bureaus should mediate between the company and the individual to resolve credit reporting matters. But no the bureaus just take the company 's word and leave XXXX looking irresponsible, untrustworthy and like a XXXX XXXX XXXX
