Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I got denied a Discount Tire store credit card serviced by Synchrony Bank, which sent me a denial letter in which the reason stated is Unsatisfactory payment history with Synchrony bank. Contrary, my payment history is long and very satisfactory. As of XXXX/XXXX/23 my XXXX XXXX report shows XXXX XXXX satisfactory payment history on all of my accounts. I contacted Synchrony bank via customer service phone on XXXX/XXXX/23 XXXX CST and spoke with 3 different persons/departments, including a supervisor XXXX, all were unable to produce any unsatisfactory payment history or any further detail at all. I feel I am being treated unfairly and denied credit services for no reason or for a fraudulent reason. I also feel that my inquiry was treated poorly and unprofessionally and the companys record keeping is negligent. Please help.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I recently had a car loan through Wells Fargo for my XXXX XXXX  XXXX, to which I had to sell due to the high interest rate that I have been charged. I also had a checking and saving account with Wells Fargo between XXXX to which they shut down stating falsely that I allowed a withdrawal from my account which was untrue. My account was then banned and my social security was red flagged to other banks up until XXXX. In those 2 years I have not been able to properly keep track of my account and had to use family and friends cards to keep my money safe.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX has left an unapplied balance totaling {$13000.00} on my account and never applied the payments appropriately. They approved a modification with an incorrect interest rate and upon trying to correct it never executed it, then they erroneously denied the loan modification which they did not sign. The loan was transferred to Shellpoint who assumed the loan in XX/XX/XXXX. I was not able to log into XXXX to access any of my account information. Shellpoint did not set up my online account until XXXX, also leaving me with no account or statement/history access. Shellpoint has recapped all of this in a letter dated XXXX. Due to their errors and not responding in a timely manner, they wrongfully put the house in foreclosure and a sale is scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. Today XXXX we were also informed that XXXX did not make a payment of {$440.00} dollars to XXXX, who filed a derogatory mark on my credit. We also had issues with XXXX not paying the house insurance and leaving the house exposed to liabilities which was a hassle to rectify, but Shellpoint finally cleared that part up, but apparently left the {$440.00} issue unresolved. This has hurt my credit and I am about to suffer a foreclosure. I can not buy a new car and I desperately need to get this cleared up because they have affected my purchasing power, my credit and my health. I am including what I have, but if you need anything else, I am willing to provide it with the exception of any monthly statements because Shellpoint said it is too cumbersome for the to provide them ( unfortunately ).

Complaint narrative:
I wrote a letter about false information on my credit report, and more than 45 days later, I still haven't heard anything back. I think my complaint is being disregarded and that I'm being victimized of. It is precisely stated in Section 611 ( a ) that refusal to investigate these allegations within 30 days is cause for immediate removal of all those allegations from my credit report ; given that it has been more than 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I demand that these accounts be terminated right away, or else I'll pursue you for the anguish you put upon my life. The XXXX data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to report that I have been the victim of identity theft, as evidenced by unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C 1681, credit report agencies are acting unlawfully and defaming my character by allowing these inquiries to appear on my credit report without my permission. These unauthorized inquiries have resulted in significant damage to my credit score and have made it difficult for me to apply for credit. As a result, I believe that Equifax violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting act, which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information about consumers. I urge the CFPB to take swift action to address this issue and ensure that Equifax is held accountable for its actions. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide to rectify this situation and restore my credit report to its rightful state. Thank you

Two debt buyers are reporting debts they bought. I never had credit with this company, and they do not reflect any positive history I had with the original creditors! The history, the good payments, gone, and right to charge off, reflecting that I never paid anything! This is FALSE AND MISLEADING! Its unjust! They placed this on my credit for one reason only, to get me to pay. I have no credit with either of them and want them removed immediately. The credit report was not designed to be used as a weapon, but that's exactly what these debt buyers are using it for.
