Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting a complaint regarding the Synchrony XXXX  Mastercard and a deferred interest promotional offer. I made a purchase under a No Interest if Paid in Full in 24 Months promotion and had autopay set up to manage my payments. 

I was not properly informed of the exact promotional deadline or the risk of retroactive interest ( online statements only and no physical letters or reminders were sent in a way to prepare me for the end of the promotion - only digital statements and the communication made was into the statements file - hard to see it ). Because of the autopay, I believed I was on track to pay off the balance in time. It wasnt until nearly two months after the promotion ended that I realized my balance had doubled due to accrued interest charges being added retroactively. 

I contacted Synchrony Bank to explain the situation and request a goodwill adjustment ( I spoke with 2nd level manager - name XXXX ). Despite my consistent payment history and the fact that this seemed to be a miscommunication or lack of sufficient notice, they denied my request and were unwilling to assist further. 

I believe the communication about the terms and timing of the promotion was inadequate, and I am requesting CFPB assistance in investigating the matter and supporting a fair resolution.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am contacting you regarding an account on my credit report that does not belong to me. After thoroughly reviewing my credit file, its clear that this account has been mistakenly associated with my identitythis is a classic case of mixed credit information, and it needs to be addressed immediately. 

Let me be very clear : this account is not mine. I did not open it, I have never used it, and I have no affiliation whatsoever with the person it actually belongs to. Somewhere along the line, my personal information has been confused or combined with someone else 's, and now their account is showing up under my name. Thats not just wrongits completely unacceptable. 

Not only is this hurting my credit profile, but its also a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires that all information reported be accurate and only associated with the correct consumer. This account fails both of those standards.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Century Debt Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2023, I was repeatedly harassed by a debt collection agency, " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' regarding an alleged debt. The collector placed incessant calls to me, often pressuring me to make an immediate payment. During several phone conversations, the agent verbally threatened legal action and belittled me, attempting to exploit my young age. 

Despite being over XXXX XXXX XXXX, the collector contacted members of my family to discuss my personal financial matters, an action I understand to be a violation of my privacy rights under the FDCPA. 

Additionally, the collector misrepresented the amount owed. He initially included unauthorized interest charges in the amount of {$400.00}, which he only removed after I requested proof of the invoices via email. Once I asked for email documentation, he suddenly waived the additional fees, implying they were illegitimate from the start. 

This experience caused significant XXXX  and appears to involve both deceptive practices and unlawful collection tactics. I am submitting this complaint to request investigation into the collectors conduct and to ensure appropriate enforcement action is taken.
