Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This complaint concerns Synchrony Financial. Synchrony Financial offers store credit cards with deferred interest. I had a store credit card with XXXX 's XXXX. Another furniture retailer, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was able to use this existing account to process a transaction. The terms of the transaction were such that I was able to get 18 months no interest on the purchase. The purchase was for XXXX. Due to an issue with the store, I sought a refund and the store agreed. The store put a XXXX credit. However, instead of XXXX out the account, Synchrony applied the credit to a different Synchrony account I had with another vendor, XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX card had a larger balance and a longer no interest term, ( 4 years instead of 18 months ). I believe this was intentionally done by Synchrony. Now I have to make two monthly payments instead of one, and I have a high balance on account with a shorter no interest period.

Company: Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
MEFA loans and XXXX mailed me four physical letters ( I have four open accounts with them ) dated XX/XX/XXXX. These laters stated information about my repayments such as the payment options, estimated monthly payments, and when my first payment due date would be. It was stated in writing that my monthly payments were to begin on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Recently, XXXX XXXX XXXX acquired XXXX and sent me four new physical letters that now claim my account is 60 days overdue and has now been sent to a collection specialist. When I reached out to them about this issue I was told that they have " no idea why MEFA would send me anything about payment options when it is not even them who I am repaying '' but that it was also not them who sent the letter. I was told to call MEFA so that they could explain it to me as I " just was n't listening '' to what the XXXX specialist was saying. The " specialist '' I spoke with refused to believe that MEFA would send me a letter even though the new letters from XXXX are also stamped with MEFA in the letterhead. 

I am now aggravated that I have been preparing to begin making payments in XX/XX/XXXX only to find out that I owe thousands more for past due payments. Even more so, XXXX refuses to even hear me out on the situation or help me come up with a plan so I can reasonably pay back my loans.

Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Our vehicle was deemed a total loss on XX/XX/XXXX. Our insurance company ( XXXX XXXX ) issued 2 checks to GM Financial on XX/XX/XXXX in the amounts of {$17000.00} and {$4500.00}. These payments were never reflected on to our account. After calling repeatedly, there was no resolution. GM Financial did a system upgrade where they stated they would be unavailable from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, so we were unable to follow up during this time. Once they reopened, the payments have still not shown. On XX/XX/XXXX, Progressive insurance placed a stop payment on the original 2 checks, and issued 2 new checks which they overnighted on that date. Even though the checks were received overnighted ( validated through shippers website ), a payment was not credited to the account until XX/XX/XXXX. The payment for {$17000.00} was credited to the account, however, the payment for {$4500.00} has disappeared again! I have spent hours on the phone waiting to speak to a representative, and in each case they state it does not appear, and are unable to locate the payment as an unmatched payment in their system. Both of these checks were sent together in the same overnight delivery package. 1 was processed, and 1 came missing. I contacted XXXX XXXX for help, which they traced both payments to show that both checks cleared payment on XX/XX/XXXX. So, the missing payment of {$4500.00} was received and cashed by GM Financial, but no where to be located in their newly upgraded systems. ( I have attached the payment trace document from XXXX XXXX to this complaint ). In the last several days, I have attempted to call several times, but now their customer service line states that the call can not be completed at this time due to high call volumes, and then disconnects the call. We still have an outstanding balance of {$3000.00} on the account as a payoff amount that has not been paid due to the neglect of payment processing and application on behalf of GM Financial.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am new to united states and last year in XXXX I was assigned with my residency, work authorization and social security cards. I was educated as I have to built my credit I always stayed very low and alert on credit applications. I had a credit card issued by my spouse as a shared card initially so I can start my credit reporting but unfortunately that did not help. Hence I applied with verve & surge ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) credit cards as they assist with low limits unsecured and report to all credit bureaus. I was approved and started using the cards and making on-time payments. Also XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX offered me unsecured credit cards and I accepted them. 
Since then I had been trying to access my credit reports on -line with these bureaus ( Transunion / XXXX & XXXX ), they always stated that they were unable to verify my identity as I am very new. Never received any supportive assistance. 
Then i registered with XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  so that i can keep checking where i was with my credit score. 
Suddenly i started receiving credit alerts from card companies, personal loan companies & auto finance companies. These alerts were hard inquiries on my report without my authorization. 
So i called Transunion / XXXX & XXXX and i asked them to do something about it, again the response was very lame from all the three organizations because they were not able to verify me due to new social security number. Hence i asked them to place a security freeze on my file which i read on the annual credit reporting website. 
The dilemma still did not stop as several inquires were initiated and i kept on getting alerts for the same and finally my score kept going down. 
I raised several disputes with Transunion as XXXX & XXXX  always said that they can not verify any information for me. 
I seek your assistance for the same as this is affecting my current situation as now i am full time employed with a reputed financial institution as a Branch Banker and am looking to get a Auto - Loan and i do n't want any such discrepancies affect my purchasing power. 
I have somehow experienced identity Theft too as i keep on receiving several calls from Auto Loan collections agencies asking installment amount on my XXXX XXXX XXXX / Student loan  payment. I do n't have any such credits and these calls keep on asking for money. 
I seek your assistance to resolve the same as i tried my best but had no response. Probably if this goes from your organization i am sure they would all wake up and start working on my request and save me from the Fraud inquires.

Company: Clear Recovery, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Received call from Merchants Credit Adjusters on XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Caller identified himself as " XXXX '' and asked for verification of the address of record, which I verified. XXXX ' tone was overly aggressive and condescending, even after I mentioned that I had set up a recurring payment via my bank to satisfy the debt. XXXX stated that I told a another representative on a previous call that I was unemployed. During the initial call I had some technical problems looking up the information on my account, meanwhile XXXX was continually condescending. After finally locating the info, I discovered that in fact recurring payments have been setup for the XXXX of each month culminating to the total balance. In fact, the first payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX, prior to receiving this call. Upon calling back Merchants, the 2nd representative refused to identify herself and told me that the Supervisor would call me back. I have not received a call back as of this writing.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am an XXXX ( soon to be XXXX ) year old, 26 year XXXX XXXX. The reason I am writing is because I was told some very disturbing news that does not makes any sense to me. 

I purchased my home in XX/XX/XXXX. I have refinanced a couple of times over the years for various reasons. 

In XX/XX/XXXXI suffered a XXXX and a XXXX XXXX. At that point I refinanced my house to add my girlfriend on the title in the event anything happened to me. 

I refinanced my home with Quicken Loans on XX/XX/XXXX. 

My girlfriend, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 

As I mentioned I am a 26 year XXXX XXXX. This past year I was told there was a program available to veterans that could assist in paying my property taxes on my home. I inquired about the program and was told by my county that information could not be disclosed to me because I did not own my own home. I did not understand what I was being told because I bought my house and have been making payments since XXXX. 

With the help of family we began to try and understand what I was told. 

Supposedly in XX/XX/XXXXwhen I was in the hospital recovering from a XXXX and XXXX XXXX and refinanced my house I am being told I gave my house to my girlfriend by a deed and that I did not refinance it. I do not understand why someone would think I would do this and I am not sure how this is possible. I refinanced my home to add her on to title. I have been making payments on time every month since I bought my home in XXXX. 

My daughter in law contacted Quicken Loans who last did the refinance on my home. She was told on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX from Quicken Loans Originating Team that I was in deed on title at closing in XXXX. She further said that the title company is a sister company and she would have documents forwarded to me showing I was on title. 

I am now being told from Quicken Loans that I am not on title and that I have been paying my mortgage on time every month for a home that I do not own. 

I do not understand. 

In looking at my loan application in XXXX ( copy attached ) with Quicken Loans it shows manner in which title is to be held XXXX. Title will be held in what Name ( s ) : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. This goes to show that again all parties agreed that I am the owner of my home. Those were the terms I agreed upon when I refinanced my home. That is why I signed every sheet of paper when I refinanced my home. 

I NEVER gave up ownership of my home. I have no money to go anywhere else. I have equity in my home that I can not afford to lose. I need help to get my home back.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened a new BBVA Compass Bank ClearConnect checking account on XX/XX/XXXX under the terms of an advertised promotion for new customers stating that I would receive a {$200.00} cash bonus for my new account. The terms of this promotion stated that " within sixty days of account opening, at least one electronic direct deposit from an unrelated 3rd party ( e.g. your employer or a government agency ) in the amount of at least {$300.00} must post to the new checking account. '' I had my employer direct deposit payroll switched to my new account and the first direct deposit posted on XX/XX/XXXX. Now that I fulfilled my requirements, I expected to receive my bonus as stated in the terms : " The {$200.00} cash bonus will be deposited into the new checking account within 60 days of meeting the bonus requirements. '' According to the 60 day timeframe, I should have received my bonus by XX/XX/XXXX. But it was never added to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to contact BBVA Compass Bank about this issue. I sent them a secure message through their website inquiring about the delay and the bonus. A week has since passed and they have failed to even respond to my inquiry. They are clearly attempting to avoid meeting their obligations to me after they induced me to sign up for a new account with the promise of a bonus. 

I have attached a document that shows the terms under which I signed up for the new account, as well as evidence of my payroll deposit on XX/XX/XXXX.
